New Release: Spring is in full bloom and Spiral HQ has been busy with a bouquet of big changes: Forge:
We've made some changes to the forge system to make it more friendly to newer knights and lower the cost of leveling your gear!
All forging attempts, regardless of the crystal option you pick, will be successful! We believe this will be a more enjoyable experience for most players. When an item is ready to be leveled and you use the forge, your item is guaranteed to level up. You can always opt to add more crystals if you want to have a chance at some fun bonuses. So, if all you want is to level up your item, you'll now want to use the lowest crystal cost option. This option is selected by default.
To balance out the above change, the bonuses you can get for the different crystal cost levels have changed.
Minimum level of crystal use: You are now guaranteed to be successful! You will not have a chance at extra bonuses.
- Medium level of crystal useThe chance of bonuses has been increased compared to what it was before this change.
- Maximum level of crystal useThe chance of bonuses has been increased even more compared to what it was before this change.
System Upgrade:
We've released a second batch of very large back-end changes. Like the previous changes, these are part of our continuing effort to modernize the game. This represents quite a lot of work behind the scenes, but should help the game run better for players. Thank you all for your patience while we've been tinkering under the hood. Full details on all the changes in the release can be found on our forums.
