Champion Update: Krond  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Krond was born of a union between an academic human wizard and a mighty orc fighter who led a nomadic orc community. Raised as a fearsome warrior and arcane scholar, he studied these arts with equal passion. Krond's parents tragically lost their lives protecting their family and friends during an enemy raid. This moment changed Krond, and he swore revenge upon the world. Taking up an ancestral warhammer called Unity, Krond set out to make things right, one way or another.
Krond has been reworked to become a true Support, greatly increasing his versatility, while still allowing him to be a DPS Champion.

For all the details on this Champion Update for Krond, read on!

Idle Champions: Dragondown 8 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    It's the Summer Solstice in Faerûn, which means it is time for Dragondown celebrations!

    While the City of Waterdeep celebrates Dragondown by burning dragon effigies to symbolize the city's victories over invading dragons, some smaller celebrations focus on ceremonial bonfires and charms, with mock-spells and chanted prayers performed as the sun sets.

    But something has gone wrong in Luskan this year, where locals have drawn the ire of a Bronze Dragon and its kin...
The first Dragondown was the 13th limited-time event in Idle Champions, launching on June 25th, 2018. This year marks our eighth Dragondown event, which introduces Hank the Ranger, the leader and final member of the Saturday Morning Squad affiliation, with today's launch. Our second Featured Champion, Krond, will be receiving a significant update, with a new Champion Update blog coming on Friday, June 6, before his launch next Wednesday, June 11.

For details on Dragondown Year 8, read on!

BW2: Endangered Species Mini Event IX! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Endangered Species - Ninth Encounter

Habitats are changing, and it's endangering many different animal species. Carson Tiva has found that three different endangered species can currently be found in Bushwhackia, as they search for new places to live.

Three Endangered Species

Lears Macaw - An endangered macaw known for their vibrant blue colour.

Red Headed Woodpecker - An endangered bird due to loss of overall habitat including loss of standing dead wood required for nest sites.

Snow Leopard Cub - A vulnerable leopard with around 4000 left in the wild, known for their distinct pattern which helps them blend in with their surroundings.

Collect Conservation Data

Like you did during Carson's last visit, apply your bush whacking skills to help them collect Conservation Data on these unique animals for the limited time they're here. To gather data, you just have to give them a whack with your sword or other whacking implement. With said data, Carson Tiva can use it to try and help what's left of these unique animals.

Which species you encounter in the fields will be random, so if you fall behind in finding one of the three animals, you can start one of Carson Tiva's pursuit quests. You can do one pursuit quest every 20 hours.

Earn Rewards

Your efforts will not go unrewarded! Carson Tiva will trade you for this data in their store, plus you'll earn a unique plaque for your contributions! Like event ribbons, this plaque will increase your maximum energy based on your performance.

Collect data, complete the achievements, and earn rewards!

In addition to a new set of species, Bush Buck Bundle, and energy boosting plaque, you can earn a new Save the Jungle Sign ranch item reward!

Limited Time Only

Go to the event area of the Commons to get started, and gather as much data as you can before noon on Tuesday June 3rd, Pacific Time!

Welcome to the Event Augment preview for Dragondown Year 8!

Our next event arrives on Wednesday, June 4, bringing two Featured Champions (one New Champion, one Champion Rebalance).

Event System Permanent Feature Updates

We have some exciting updates to the Event system this month! Based on your feedback, we're making several Augments permanent features so we can free up space to add even more fun tweaks in future Events. Let's dive in!
  • Boon XP and Extra Benefits (Scales of Tiamat) are now permanent features. You can find details about them here.
  • Worth the Wait is being retired as an Augment. Its core feature - rolling out the second featured Champion on Day 8 - will remain, but the tweak of tier 2+ variants providing an additional chest is going away.
The in-game FAQ has been updated to reflect these system changes, and we're excited about the additional Augment space they open up. Now let's get into the June 2025 Augments!

Dragondown 8 Event Augments

    Description: Event Champions whose recruitment adventure or variants you complete gain common rarity equipment in all slots if they don't already have better. Every tier two or higher event variant completed automatically applies 100 Tiny Blacksmithing Contracts to the variant's Champion's equipment for free!

  • Augment 4: Boon Enhancements (New Augment)
    Description: An additional boon buff at each level increases global damage based on the number of Pigments on Champions in the formation, stacking additively.

Vecna: Eve of Ruin Part 8 
Posted in Idle Champions.

At the behest of the Wizards Three, the Champions have ventured across the multiverse in search of pieces of the Rod of Seven Parts.

Now, it's time to assemble the rod. And time for a traitor to strike.

Part 8 of the Vecna: Eve of Ruin campaign takes the party to Pandesmos, the topmost layer of Pandemonium, where they will face the greatest threat the multiverse has ever faced - and an ancient enemy, sealed away by the Rod a long, long time ago.

Note: You will need to have completed the previous two Vecna: Eve of Ruin adventures, Hellbound and The Red Belvedere, in order to access these new adventures.

Campaign: Vecna: Eve of Ruin

The Rod of Seven Parts

Assemble the completed rod and discover what happens next.
  • Complete area 1100

Variant: The House Always Wins

Assemble the completed rod while under the threat of a giant roulette ball.
  • The formation slots are colored Red, Black and two glowing Green slots.
  • A giant roulette ball joins the formation as an escort.
  • Starting upon entering area 101, and every 100 areas thereafter, the giant roulette ball jumps up and spins around in a circle above the formation before landing on a random formation slot, removing that Champion and all other Champions that are in a formation slot of the same color. Removed Champions can't be used for the rest of the adventure, and the ball stays in that slot until it moves again.
  • Champions can't otherwise be removed from the formation once they've been added.
  • Complete Area 1150

Variant: Double or Nothing

Assemble the completed rod and gain a beneficial Windfall.
  • The formation slots are colored Red, Black and two glowing Green slots.
  • A giant roulette ball joins the formation as an escort.
  • Starting upon entering area 76, and every 75 areas thereafter, the giant roulette ball jumps up and spins around in a circle above the formation before landing on a random formation slot, removing that Champion and all other Champions that are in a formation slot of the same color. Removed Champions can't be used for the rest of the adventure, and the ball stays in that slot until it moves again.
  • Champions can't otherwise be removed from the formation once they've been added.
  • Click damage only deals damage (including Fire Breath effects) for the first 25 areas
  • Fire breath potions can't be used during the adventure.
  • Complete Area 1200
  • Unlocks Windfall (Evergreen Champion)

Pandemonium

Trek across Pandemonium in search of Vecna.
  • Complete area 1150

Variant: Panda-monium

Trek across Panda-monium in search of Vecna.
  • Every wave spawns 1-2 Illusory Fancy Red Pandas. They don't drop gold, nor count towards quest progress.
  • Every time a Red Panda is defeated, enemy damage and movement speed is increased by 50%, stacking multiplicatively and resetting when changing areas. You may only use Evil Champions, as only Evil Champions have the heart to attack these adorable Red Pandas. You should be ashamed of yourself for encouraging this behavior.
  • Complete Area 1200

New Evergreen Champion: Windfall

    A dedicated champion of Tiamat, Windfall has been granted phenomenal power by her master. She is the proprietor of the Red Belvedere, a monument to Tiamat and a remnant of Avernus's original existence as a bucolic paradise designed to tempt mortals. Its edifice was destroyed in the carnage of the Blood War, but Windfall rebuilt the casino and rededicated it to the Dragon Queen as a celebration of her god's greed and vanity. Windfall is ostentatious and charismatic, making small talk with regular patrons and jovially welcoming new faces to the casino. She once plotted to assemble the Rod of Seven Parts to create a gift for her cruel goddess, but has instead joined the Champions at Tiamat's behest.

Learn about Windfall in their Champion Spotlight!

SURPRISE! We're excited to introduce the 150th Champion released in Idle Champions - The Evergreen Champion Windfall! You can unlock Windfall by completing an upcoming Vecna: Eve of Ruin campaign variant starting May 28th, 2025!

Windfall is a DPS, Support, and Gold Find Champion found in the second variant of the adventure "The Rod of Seven Parts" in the Vecna: Eve of Ruin campaign. She buffs the damage of all Champions in the longest column in the formation, and her attacks take on the draconic essence of the chromatic dragon of your choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can I find the seeds?
    Just keep whacking. The Holiday Item runes and pets will help attract them as well.

  • How do I grow plants?
    There are the planters outside the garden to grow flowers in. If you click on them, you can see the plant store. Each plant has a different cost and grow time to get you your event progress points. You start with 4 free planters.

  • Is it good to buy extra planters for growing the plants?
    If you have the seeds to spare and prefer to plant long-growing plants, then yes, it's worth it.

  • How do I get the Decorator achievement?
    If you go into the gardening area, the store button ($) has a selection of garden decorating items, where you can find the planter styles and watering can. These items also cost seeds.

  • What are the possible seed combinations for Farmer MacDonald's quest?
    You can choose seeds that grow either Energy or Gold, and then choose between 20, 15, 4, and 3 hours of growth time.

  • Why do my custom seeds cost Gold to plant?
    You created the combination, which is unlocked until they expire. Just like normal plants, they cost Gold for planting. We don't award a flat number of seeds, because not all players have the same amount of farm plots. This way, you get to choose how many you end up growing. :)
  • Why don't my custom seeds last longer?
    Because they're OP! Enjoy them while they last. :)

  • How do I please the judges?
    Just keep growing plants. As your event progress increases, you will impress the judges more and more. You DO NOT need to place them in your garden if you don't wish to. The plants still count for progress.

  • Does the Timey-Wimey watch or Time Turner affect the judges?
    No, judges do not have quest cooldowns, so trinket effects that work for quests will not apply to them.

  • What adds to my event progress?
    Growing plants worth points and completing the side quests. To get the points from your plants, you don't even need to place them in your garden! Just grow them!

  • 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.

Champion Update: Yorven  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    When Yorven came across the Witchlight Carnival he managed to convince the owners to bring him on board. When the Witchlight Carnival returned to the Feywild years later, Yorven moved on, seeking his childhood home - and the hags who banished him.

The ever grimdark Yorven Springpaw has received a major update to modernize his design, give him a special Witchlight-focused niche, and a stronger Support role.

Learn all about this Yorven update below!

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Ferocious Maul (melee) - Yorven leaps at the nearest enemy, pinning it in place and attacking it once every second for 5 seconds.

Passive Abilities

  • Blood Fury Tattoo - Yorven gains a Blood Fury stack for each enemy that has been damaged in the current area. His damage is increased by 100% for each Blood Fury stack, stacking multiplicatively. Bosses provide 15 stacks when they are damaged. Caps at 25 stacks.
