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!

Featured Champions

Hank

Hank is the steadfast and courageous leader of the group of friends that has been swept away into the perilous realm of Dungeons & Dragons. As the Ranger, he wields his signature Energy Bow to fend off danger and light the way forward. Though the weight of leadership tests him at every turn, Hank’s tactical insight and unwavering resolve keep the party moving forward in their quest to find a way back home.


Learn more about Hank in his Champion Spotlight.

Krond

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.


Learn more about Krond when his Champion Spotlight arrives on June 6th!

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!

Idle Champions: June Augments Preview 
Posted in Idle Champions.

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

  • Augment 1: Free Rerolls (Returning Augment)
    Description: You gain five free rerolls to use on each set of your Weekly Offers during this event!

  • Augment 2: Golden Weekly Offers (Returning Augment)
    Description: One of your weekly offers will be Golden during this event. Golden offers provide an additional 10% discount! The Golden tag persists when an offer is rerolled.

  • Augment 3: Auto Blacksmith (Returning Augment)
    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.


Note: Similar to our rollout in May the spotlight blogs for the two Featured Champions will also be spread out, with Hank's tomorrow, May 30th, and Krond's releasing next Friday, June 6th.

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.

Idle Champions: Great Modron March 8  
Posted in Idle Champions.

Several times each century, the clockwork plane of Mechanus mobilizes a vast wave of modrons and sends them on a tour of the cosmos. Known as "The Great Modron March", this unstoppable tide of lawful constructs journeys across the material plane on the exact same route each time. However, this time something has changed -- the modrons are marching on Waterdeep.

The Great Modron March returns once again, and while the many constructs of Mechanus march upon Waterdeep, the latest new Champion arrives: Vlithryn, Cleric of Persana!

Keen eyes may recognize Vlithryn - and her banshee-like scream - from the web series 1 For All, where she is played by the amazing Soylent Cosplay. Vlithryn is the first Featured Champion for Great Modron March this year.

The second Featured Champion for Great Modron March 8, Yorven Springpaw, arrives next week on May 14. Players will be able to learn all about Yorven's changes in the Yorven Champion Update blog on Friday, May 9th.

For more information about this year's event, read on!

Featured Champions

Vlithryn

Ever since she was a hatchling in her kingdom under the sea, Vlithryn has dreamt of helping the less fortunate land dwellers and spreading the good word of her God, Persana. She’s always willing to lend a helping hand, or a healing word, to those who need it, for the right price, of course. She is usually cool, calm, and collected, but don’t get on her bad side, or her banshee scream and lightning attacks will leave you begging for a revivify that you can’t afford.


Learn more about Vlithryn in her Champion Spotlight.

Yorven

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.


Learn more about Yorven when his spotlight releases next week on May 9th!

Flex Slots allow players to unlock additional Champions and earn chests during events, choosing from a pool of retired Champions associated with the event.

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.

  • 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.

  • Free Rerolls: You gain five free rerolls to use on each set of your Weekly Offers during this event!

  • Worth the Wait: Reworked Champion Yorven will unlock at the start of week two of this event, and completing his tier 2+ variants awards double chests!
You can check out which Augments are active at any time by mousing over the Event Banner.

Boon XP & Boon Level Changes

As always, your feedback is incredibly important to us. Since announcing the return of Boon XP as an Augment last week, we've heard concerns that your platinum does not go as far when this augment is active compared to the standard boon system. We'd like to provide some additional clarity to show the increased rewards between the Boon XP Augment and the standard boon system.

Our intent for the Boon XP Augment is to amp up the rewards for players who choose to purchase items that grant event boons. While the pricing of each boon level differs from the standard system, the rewards are greatly increased. This ultimately yields a substantial overall increase in the power of the buffs players gain for each platinum they spend on event packs. Here is a comparison of boon levels in the standard system vs the Boon XP Augment.

BW2: April 2025 Bubble Buddies Mini-Event! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

A Visitor From the Far Far Ranch

The Far Far Ranch is far far away, but there's a visitor that's brought a piece of it to the Commons!

Bea's visiting from the Far Far Ranch and has brought three Bubble Buddies to see if they'll thrive in Bushwhackia.

Bubble Buddies

Bubble Buddies are cute bouncy critters that come in an array of looks and abilities! Let's see the three Bea's brought with her:



Buddies eat Bushy Carrots and output Blorts, which Bea will trade you for in her Ye Bouncy Buddy Boutique store. Watch the buddies get bigger and bigger as you feed them!

Buddies will also eat the more rare Spicy Tofu to output Blorts AND a resource unique to that buddy. Here are the buddies and their unique yields:

Griffin Buddy - Gold
Wolf Buddy - Gems
Zebra Buddy - Mana/Power

During Bea's visit, Bushy Carrots and Spicy Tofu can be found in bushes all over Bushwhackia.

Help feed their bouncy bodies, earn Blorts, and redeem prizes! The saying goes, 'Big Buddies have bottomless bellies!'

Instant Egg Incubation!

Bea's brought a machine that can instantly hatch a basic pet egg! You'll need to whack up a lot of fuel to get it working, via a challenging collection quest. Should you manage it quickly, you can even attempt it a couple more times at the cost of some Bush Bucks to repair the egg machine.

A Feeding Frenzy!

Bea and her buddies leave on Wednesday April 30th, so make the most of the opportunity while you can!

Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

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!

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  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    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:

SEAT 3
Briv
SEAT 5
Alyndra
SEAT 6
Catti-brie
SEAT 7
Tatyana
SEAT 8
Aila
SEAT 9

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.

BW2: Creature Collector - Dinosaur mounts! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Coppers of the Creature Collector

The eccentric Creature Collector has returned to the Commons, this time with a trio of vicious utahraptor mounts!



Head to the event area and choose one to train. You have until noon on Wednesday April 2nd to complete the collector's four daily quests, level up your chosen creature, earn Creature Coppers to spend in their store, and get another page to your Creature Collector's Compendium!

The Compendium Page will be given after the event ends. If you don't have the Creature Collector's Compendium ranch item, you'll get it when you get your first page.

After the event, the collector will be taking their creature back unless you adopt it by purchasing its corresponding mount pack, available starting Monday March 31st.

Train hard, Bush Whackers!

The training quests unlock at noon on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Those busy on the weekends can still catch up!

Notes
- The VIP "Quest Reset" power does not reset these mini event quests, and they are not affected by the Time Turner and Timey Whimey Watch.
- Swapping your event mount with a higher level mount doesn't count towards event progress.
- These three mounts earn double the experience compared to other mounts for the duration of this mini-event!
- Expiring mounts cannot have their bonuses swapped.

Ye Olde Creature Collector's Galleria - Mounts

When you speak to Tanela Tiva in the event area, you can select the "What past mounts are for sale?" chat option.

This will open a new store, which will contain 3 non-event premium mounts you have never owned! They cost Bush Bucks, like in event stores. The selection will change next time Tanela Tiva visits to event area.

We've done this in response to players asking to see old premium mounts they've missed out on, to help you fill out your pet collection. Snag those old-school mounts you're missing out on!
