This update releases next week!
New Feature & Content
New Premium Worker: Ripley the Reaper!
Your time has come, shopkeepers!
…
Wait.
Not quite! Sorry about that.
Introducing Ripley! If you can’t see it, that’s good news. The story goes that Reapers are only visible to those well acquainted with death, or when it is time for one to move on to the afterlife. Fortunately, Ripley is not very good at its job. It is, however, very good at crafting those fearsome Scythes! And being part of the underworld, its Masks are very potent. They provide those who wear them with a Mana Shield that will protect them from harm. Give it some time to recharge between wallops!
In addition, Ripley’s premium worker power Eternal Rest allows Heroes and Champions to begin their resting time as soon as a quest’s timer finishes. In other words, this could allow you to claim a quest and see its participants already fully rested and ready to go!
Ripley will announce your timely end when you reach merchant level 37, and can be purchased for $24.99 USD.
Mana Shield
Mana Shield is a new Hero stat most commonly associated with Masks. This special “Blue HP” protects your real HP from damage until it runs out. Unlike HP however, it completely regenerates after 3 turns if the owner is not hit.
New Royal Merchant Perk: The Autocrafting Machine
We are introducing a brand new perk for Royal Merchants new and old: The Autocrafting Machine! Set up a queue of items and toss-in the components required (no resource needed!) and the machine will craft them slowly over-time!
The size of the queue depends on your Royal Merchant loyalty, and for you hoarders out there, don't worry, this machine doesn't take up a furniture slot!

Balance Changes
With the introduction of new item lines, what better time for us to do some (late) spring cleaning?
Shields, Rings, Quivers, Idols, Catalysts, Elements and Spirits have had their base crafting times reduced slightly.
Instruments and Dual Wields have had their base crafting times increased slightly (around 10%).
The value of Wooden Shield was bugged and as such has been reduced slightly.
Other Balance Changes
As part of the development brought alongside the Tomb of Titans and with its release, we added functionality to reduce the Evasion and Critical Hit Chance of Heroes during quests.
While some quests have received these modifiers, we unfortunately still don’t have a way of displaying them in a clear manner on the quest setup screen. While the difficulty brought by these changes is intentional, its lack of clarity was not. We’re working on improving on how we convey these modifiers, thank you for your patience!
King Schedule
The King will return as a Guest Champion from August 17th until August 20th.
Changes to Tower of Titans Schedule
The changes mentioned below do not affect the Tower of Titans event currently running.
The Tower of Titans event will no longer begin on the 2nd of the month and end of the 30th of the month. The event will now start two days after a major release and end 26 days later.
This change is being made to ensure events are contained within a single major version release of the game, reducing the potential for compatibility issues, whether that'd be through feature changes, balance changes or bug fixes.
Event Schedule
The Tower of Titans event will start on September 10th and end on October 6th, running for a total of 26 days.
The King's Caprice event will start on August 13th, running for seven days.
The Dragon Invasion event will start on August 27th, running for five days.
The Lost City of Gold event will start on September 4th, running for four days.
Webstore Updates
The webstore reward track will now default to being collapsed if it has been completed for that cycle.
The webstore reward track now has navigation buttons that can be clicked/tapped for scrolling through the rewards. Scrolling will now also “snap” so that a reward is always in view, especially helpful for those viewing on mobile devices.
Notable Bug Fixes
The "Key to Success" talent now properly affects Tomb-Bound keys drop.
Fixed stats obtained through Transcendence not being affected by item quality.
Fixed an issue with how the Surcharge All milestones in the Transcendence track were calculated, which resulted in aberrant surcharge values.
