Joining the Fashion Revolution

Do you bemoan sorting through all your clothes every time you want to change your outfit? Worry no more! A fashion mogul has a brand new invention that will make changing your outfits a breeze! Get yourself some Garment Bags!

Proving Yourself

After reaching level 160, after having built the Inn in the Commons, a new quest chain becomes available. A fashion mogul is setting up inside the Friendly Inn. Complete their quests to earn yourself your first two Garment Bags and join the fashion revolution!

Garment Bags

Once you've got your Garment Bags, you can start using costume sets! You'll find the new interface to the right of your costume options in your inventory. Click the save button to open the save menu, allowing you to save your currently equipped costume to the corresponding set button.

You can unlock up to 5 costume sets by purchasing more Garment Bags for Gold and Gems, each new Garment Bag costing more than the last.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get costume sets?
You have to be level 160, have built the Friendly Inn in the Commons, and completed the quests that become available in the Friendly Inn. You'll see this requirement when you mouse over the new costume set interface in your inventory.

How do I unlock the other 3 sets/slots/buttons/bags?
The other three sets unlock at levels 315, 490, and 520 respectively. If you meet the level requirement, the corresponding button will show a dollar sign. Clicking it will let you buy the slot for Gold and Gems. The amount of Gold and Gems increases for each slot.

Where do I save my costume sets?
In your inventory to the right of your costume options. There's a line of numbered square buttons, and a save button. Click the save button then the number of the set you want to save your currently equipped costume to. The button will spin when you've saved to it.

How do I equip a costume set I've saved to?
Simply click the square button of the set you saved to, and you'll instantly equip that costume!

Can I clear my saved costume sets?
Yes! Click the save button next to your costume sets in your inventory, and then click the X button at the top of the list. You'll get a confirmation popup, asking if you want to clear all your costume set saves.

Happy Easter Bushwhackers!

The Easter Bunny is back in town to bring the friendly competition of his egg hunt! That's what Easter is all about, right? The yummy chocolate eggs!

Help make the eggs with the three turn-in stations! With all the Unpainted Eggs, Dye and Wax, we can make some pretty egg designs!

Let the Hunt Begin!

Every 8 hours, you can compete against 4 residents of the Commons in the Easter Egg Hunt! Plus, after your first Hunt of the day, you can hide eggs to set-up for the next hunt and whack monsters to keep the fields safe for the children!

Having trouble winning? Why not use some bonuses, available from the shady character in the wizard hat in the Event Area. Boosts are available for purchase for Easter Tokens after you complete your first Egg Hunt of the event.

The Easter Feaster

Chef Elza will have her bevy of recipes for you to help her prepare to have an awesome Easter feast!

Speaking of Easter feasts, lambs are so very cute, aren't they? Help Lambchop save her fellow fluffy lambs from ending up on Easter feast tables.

Treats and Peeps

Grab Jelly Beans and Peeps every 20 hours for extra Easter progress and tokens! Plus, each of the turn-in station owners will have a bonus quest for you to complete, and you'll get to help the poor confused soul deal with Easter moving around.

You can help one character make a Chocolate Easter Egg, because who doesn't need more sugar? And you'll be able to make a custom hat! This year, you'll be able to get the hats for both genders for completing the quest for Hyatt the Hat Maker!

Bilby Protector

World Wide Egg Hunt

And keep your eyes peeled during the World Wide Egg Hunt starting the second Friday of the event. Not all the eggs are in the same places as last year, so work together to find them all!

FAQ

How do I participate in the Easter Egg Hunt?
Talk to the NPC under the Easter Egg Hunt banner to be teleported to the hunting zone.

What do I do in the Easter Egg Hunt zone?
Click on all the crates, barrels, rocks and bushes trying to find as many eggs as you can. There are only 20 eggs hidden in all the doodads.

How do I get a perfect score in the Easter Egg Hunt?
You need to collect all 20 eggs - basically not letting any of the other hunters find any.

I'm too slow at the Hunt. How can I be better?
The NPC with the wizard hat in the event area of the Commons sells boosts for Easter Tokens. Speed up your character and distract the other hunters with his wares. Also, travel in a circle, starting in the area closest to where everyone else is being distracted. And don't click on the searchable items themselves, click beside them. Clicking on the item causes you to walk slower.

When will the last quest unlock?
All quests will be unlocked by the 10th day of the event.

What contributes to my 100% progress?
Turning in the Unpainted Eggs, the Dye and the Wax as well as completing the Easter Egg Hunt and the quests for the folks in the event area.

Why do I want to ask friends for help?
It increases the amount of progress you get from doing a turn-in.

Do I have to do the achievements?
No. Completing the goals for the achievements is totally optional. You get either a large energy pack or a title for your character from them, no event progress.

Where can I see the achievements available and how to get them?
Either on the holiday dialog, the achievements dialog, or on the blog.

When can I do the World Wide Easter Egg Hunt?
The World Wide Easter Egg Hunt starts on the second Friday of the event - April 18th - and lasts for the rest of the event.

Where do I find World Wide Easter Egg Hunt Eggs?
Once the hunt has started, you can find eggs by clicking them in many of the zones in the world. Eggs are hidden behind rocks and trees and in tricky to access locations in normal zones, secret areas, and adventure zones all over the world. Not every area has an egg hidden in it. There are 90 eggs hidden throughout the world in total, but you'll need to be done most of the content in the game to find them all.

Idle Champions: Festival of Fools 8

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle, champions, event, new content, update, grimm, beadle & grimm, festival of fools.

After such a long and cold winter, the citizens of Daggerford are eager to celebrate the Festival of Fools: a day of feasting, drinking, and general foolishness. People don brightly colored and garish clothing, dancing in the street like court jesters and competing with one another to see who can pull off the most foolish (yet harmless) pranks.

During the festivities, a concerned villager approaches the party and asks for help. She says that her husband's prank is to try and taunt a frost giant...

Festival of Fools 8 has arrived, and with it, a unique event: Beadle & Grimm have been separated and updated to become two separate Champions! For more information on this month's Featured Champions, read on -- but first, let's talk about an update we are making to Events!

Events Update: Choosing Your Path

When we introduced Events 2.0, players would pick from a range of Flex Champions for each event. However, if players picked the same Champion multiple times, that Champion's progress would continue where it left off. Moving forward, that need not be the case.

For those of you who were playing last year, you likely have a selection of Champions in each event with some level of Event progress. Starting with Festival of Fools, if you choose a Flex Champion who already has event tier progress, you will be presented with a choice: You can choose to maintain that progress and pick up where you left off (automatically triggering any Champion Event Buffs you unlocked last year), or you may choose to reset that progress and re-collect Gold Chests and Bonus rewards from Augments as you complete each variant tier again.

Featured Champions

Beadle

Beadle may not have the strength of his best friend Grimm, but his quick wit and sharp instincts have saved the day more times than he can count. Whether managing the Giant’s Bane Tavern or outsmarting enemies, Beadle brings cunning to every adventure.

Beadle is a cunning Support, Gold Find, and Control Champion with powerful synergies when paired with his best friend, Grimm. He boosts nearby Champions' damage, steals extra gold from enemies while stunning them, and his support scales with a specialization choice tailored to your Champions' gear.

Learn more about Beadle in his Champion Spotlight.

Grimm

Grimm’s immense strength and steadfast loyalty make him the perfect partner for Beadle’s clever schemes. A giant in both stature and courage, Grimm is as at home smashing through foes as he is keeping the Giant’s Bane Tavern running smoothly.

Grimm is a DPS, Tanking, and Breaker Champion who thrives alongside his best friend, Beadle. Grimm's damage and armor-breaking abilities intensify as the battle rages on, with specialization choices that let him taunt enemies, find gold, or slay giants.

Learn more about Grimm in his Champion Spotlight.

Flex Champions

Flex Slots allow players to unlock additional Champions and earn chests during events, choosing from a pool of retired Champions associated with the event. This collection of retired Champions includes the Champions from previous years of the event as well as some Champions whose events have been retired. This event's Flex Slot pool includes:

Event Augments

Boon XP!: The boon system has been reworked in this event! Eligible items purchased with Platinum now grant Boon XP, which unlocks boon levels. The boon level cap has also been removed. Check out all the details here.
Extra Benefits: When the event ends, you'll earn Scales of Tiamat* based on what you completed within the event. You'll get 250 Scales for every event variant of tier 2 or above that you have completed and 250 Scales for each Boon XP you've obtained.
*Scales of Tiamat are used in the Legendary Forge to craft Legendary Equipment.
Auto-Blacksmith: Event Champions whose recruitment adventure or variants you complete gain common rarity equipment in all slots, if they don't already have better.
Brothers in Arms: Completing tier 2+ variants for Beadle or Grimm awards double chests.

You can check out which Augments are active at any time by mousing over the Event Banner.

Beadle is a cunning Support, Gold Find, and Control Champion with powerful synergies when paired with his best friend, Grimm.

This month, we're taking the previously single Champion Beadle & Grimm, and moving them to different seats to create two separate Champions! Both Champions have been reworked, allowing you to now field powered-up versions of both Beadle and his buddy Grimm in your formation at the same time! There are some small housekeeping notes since this is such a unique rebalance:

Existing skins will be separated and credited to both Champions Beadle and Grimm (once you unlock him).
Equipment & Item Levels on the former Beadle and Grimm Champion will transfer to the new Beadle.
Most feats on Beadle & Grimm will transfer to Beadle, with the exception of Tavern Brawler and Grappler, which move to Grimm.

Abilities

Basic Attack

Magic Wand (melee/magic) - Beadle bonks a random enemy with a wand. This unleashes two magic missiles that fly out and hit two other random enemies.

Passive Abilities

Inseparable - Beadle & Grimm are so inseparable that if either one qualifies for an adventure restriction based on their tags, ages, ability scores, etc., then both can be used.

Formation Abilities

Brothers In Armors - If Grimm is in the formation, all of Beadle's equipment item levels are increased by Grimm's base average item level.
In The Shadows - Beadle increases the damage of Champions within 2 slots of himself by 400%, and enemies that hit targets affected by this have a 20% chance to miss.

Share The Glory - Most positional formation abilities that affect Beadle also affect Grimm if he is in the formation. If Grimm is already affected by the same ability, Beadle instead increases the effect of In The Shadows by 800%.
Ultimate Tag Team - When Grimm uses his ultimate ability in the same party as Beadle, Beadle's ultimate ability goes on cooldown and he gains one Tag Team stack. For each Tag Team stack Beadle has, his ultimate cooldown is reduced by 5 seconds, and his next ultimate attack deals 200% more damage, stacking multiplicatively. Tag Team stacks cap at 10 and reset when Beadle uses his ultimate ability.

Specializations

Epic Equipment - The effect of In The Shadows is increased by 20% for each piece of Epic or better equipment on Champions in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.

Idle Champions: Apothecary

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle, champions, announcement, system, apothecary.

Well Met, Champions!

Today we have introduced a brand new system to Idle Champions: the Apothecary.

The Apothecary allows players to Distill, Enhance, and Brew potions to create the types of potions they want, including a new tier of potions: Legendary Potions!

To learn more, read on...

Welcome to the Apothecary

The new Apothecary system is accessed from the Potion inventory screen and from the Potion Manager. From here you can:

Distill existing potions into Potion Reagents and Legendary Vessels. The amount of Potion Reagents gained is based on the rarity of potions.

Enhance existing potions to higher rarities, using Potion Reagents and Legendary Vessels.

Brew new potions of your choice, using Potion Reagents and Legendary Vessels.

Legendary Potions

Note: Last week we updated the title of the existing Legendary Potions that you can collect when dismantling a legendary piece of equipment to Legendary Equipment Potions. Those potions are different from the Legendary potions we're introducing today.

Legendary Potions are a new type of potion crafted exclusively through the Apothecary using Potion Reagents and Legendary Vessels:

Legendary Potions require 1 Legendary Vessel and 1,440 Potion Reagents to craft from scratch.
Legendary Potions have larger base effects than Epic Potions but also increase the effect of all active potions by 15%, stacking multiplicatively.

The global speed cap remains in place, however, the Legendary Speed Potion has an additional effect: Game Speed Cap +5% per Speed Potion active, stacking additively.
With five Legendary Potions active, all Potions effects are roughly doubled.

Legendary Potions last for 24 hours and persist through adventure resets. Using additional Legendary Potions adds to the duration.

Potion Type	Potion Effect	Potion Duration
Legendary Giant's Strength	Global DPS +1500% & All Potions' Effects +15%	24 hours
Legendary Clairvoyance	Gold Find +500% & All Potions' Effects +15%	24 hours
Legendary Heroism	Champion Health +400% & All Potions' Effects +15%	24 hours
Legendary Fire Breath	Clicks deal 900s of BUD & All Potions' Effects +15%	24 hours
Legendary Speed	Game Speed +225%, All Potions' Effects +15%, & Game Speed Cap +5% per speed potion active, stacking additively (max +25%)	24 hours

Collect a free Legendary Vessel each week!

We've updated the Daily Rewards to include a Legendary Vessel, available to collect for free each week! - You'll find it under Day 7:

Log in and check it out!

Everyone who logs into Idle Champions after Noon today, and before Noon PT on March 19th will collect a free Legendary Vessel, as well as 1440 Potion Reagents - enough to brew your first Legendary Potion! Learn more by clicking the Apothecary button in the Potion inventory screen or the Potion Manager. There is a handy overview of Distill/Enhance/Brew costs visible in the FAQ section.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Bushwhackers!

The Commons is greener than usual! That's because the Commons Party Planning Committee is putting on a St. Patrick's day party!

Unfortunately, the guests of honour seem to have gotten lost in the bushes. Go whack them up and help them find their way to the Event Area!

Leprechaun Collect-a-thon

There are eight Leprechauns to whack up that will help you put on a rocking St. Patrick's Day party! Every day the event goes on, the odds to whack them up gets larger, so you can get them all before it ends. Three of them will have turn-in stations for you to do and the others will have repeatable quests for you to do for event progress.

A Rainbow of Quests

Unlocking throughout the event are previous year quest lines:

Mr. Keith is looking to put out his special brew again. Help him find the ingredients.

Alec Guiness is whipping up another strange Patty's craft brew to show up Mr. Keith's own beer. Help gather his unusual ingredients.

Seamus is in the mood to do some whacking of his own, but first he needs your help to make the perfect shillelagh.

Siobhan is throwing her version of an Irish Feast...but the dishes got lost in the bushes. Go find them for her!

Those poor snakes are tired of being whacked so often. Help their leader out by setting up his snake relocation program efforts.

Help Bree learn about Irish mythology!

A red Leprechaun up on the Rainbow's End Island might need your help at some point.

FAQ

What are the different leprechauns?
You can whack up two types of leprechauns: hatted and non-hatted.

There are 8 hatted ones to find, 3 will unlock turn-in stations, and the other 5 will give you daily quests. You must manually whack these ones to capture them.

The non-hatted ones will drop items for you to turn into the turn-in stations. You can quick whack and mana whack non-hatted leprechauns when they appear if you wish. The non-hatted leprechauns will *always* drop some turn-in items, rather than just having a chance to.

How can I find the leprechauns?
Just keep whacking. You could whack them all up in a day if you wanted to. The odds to whack up hatted leprechauns will increase as the event goes on.

What adds to my event progress?
Turning in items to the Gold, Beer and Clover stations, and doing quests for folks in the event area.

Do I have to do the achievements?
No. Completing the goals for the achievements is totally optional. You get either a large energy pack or a title for your character from them, no event progress.

Where can I see all the achievements available and how to get them?
Either on the holiday dialog, the achievements dialog, or on the blog.

Why should I ask for friends to help boost turn-ins?
It increases the amount of progress you get from doing a turn-in.

BW2: Lost Woods Mini-Event Jan 2025

Permalink

Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Tags: bw2, february, 2025, mini, event, lost, woods.

The mysterious Lost Woods has returned to the Commons event area! Delve into the Lost Woods and solve puzzles area by area in search of lost fairies and earn rewards as you delve deeper and deeper.

The Lost Woods

In the Lost Woods, you whack bushes to solve field puzzles, area by area, in search of lost fairies and earn rewards as you delve deeper and deeper! Enter it via the entrance in the Commons event area.

The Lost Woods is a Dungeon with a maximum tier of 8 and no increasing bush whacking costs. These limits are added so it can fit in the limited time period of a week long mini-event.

To accommodate the different bush whacking skills of early and veteran players, you can complete the event by Tier 2, but can continue on for unique rewards if you're able.

Fourth Update:

This year's update includes:
- Added new 100% completion ranch item
- Added new tier reward costume items
- Added year 4 sequel quest for Hyah!
- A new fairy waits at the final area
- Added last year's rewards are to "Ye Items Lost in the Woods" prior items store

What is a Dungeon?

'Endless Dungeon' is the technical term for a new system, where you enter the dungeon, complete puzzles in a series of small areas, and collect a special reward at the end, where you return to the entrance and can enter again.

When you click the entrance of a dungeon, you'll see the following popup with some details about your progress in the dungeon. Click the big arrow/doorway button to enter the dungeon!

Runs and Tiers

Each of these can be called a "run". Each run requires you complete an increasing number of areas to complete. The first might be 3 areas, the next 6, then 9, etc. These goals are called "Tiers" of the dungeon. You start at Tier 1, complete its 3 areas, and claim its reward to complete it. You can then enter it again at Tier 2.

Each area has a small reward in a silver chest, and each tier has a more unique or greater reward.

Some dungeons will have a maximum tier (like the Lost Woods), and some will not. And some dungeons will have increasing bush whacking costs (bush energy and mana whack), and some will not (like the Lost Woods).

Areas and Effects

Each area of a dungeon is randomly generated. The field, the decorations, visitors, where you enter and leave, and the 'Area Effects'.

What are Area Effects? There modifiers like what your trinkets, pets, mounts, and runes give you, but apply only when you're in the area. These could be positive or negative. Maybe increase energy odds, decreased power odds, or maybe something more weird.

If an area has effects, you can see what the area effect is by mousing over the 'E' star near your mana bar.

This mini event runs until noon on Friday February 28th.
