changedAchievements & RewardsWe've seen the feedback about the initial phase of unlocks could feel slow / grindy to some, and we recognize that with over 5 years of content development, there is a lot to 'catch up' on.
addedAchievements & RewardsThis is why we added a new way to unlock Fateshards* faster in the beginning of your Dawncaster journey via Achievements. With over 100 achievements to discover and each granting between 10 and 250 Fateshards, there are new ways to quicken the unlocks of new cards, talents, portraits and more!
changedAchievements & RewardsNote: Fateshards are a completely free, non-purchasable indicator of our meta progression system.
changedAchievements & RewardsFor achievements you've already unlocked, Fateshards will be awarded retro-actively :)
changedCross platform achievementsAchievements are shared between platforms, and even update your native achievements once earned on another platform. However, their rewards are granted just once per unlock (not per platform).
