Flowers In Bloom!

The annual Grow-A-Thon has returned to the Commons! Whack the bushes and gather their bounty so that you can plant flowers and trees in the Event area to make yourself a gorgeous garden. Impress the judges every 20 hours to earn Spring tokens to buy this year's Custom Items. You need to impress the previous judge to get a rating from the next one.

Plus, fill your magnificent garden with critters! There are 5 to get throughout the event, starting with the Squirrel today! You can send out requests for a free one.

Many Quests!

George has such a terrible green thumb, he'll be looking for you to help him out trying to grow a plant for the first (or fourth) time.

Spring usually means spring cleaning, right? Freddy needs some help cleaning up his house. It's gotten a little bit spooky. Cleaning items can only be whacked in his house.

Timmy wants to wake his turtle up from its hibernation after that long, cold winter. Aid him in finding things to tempt it back to consciousness.

Help Farmer McDonald splice together some special Spring Seeds! For players level 400+, Farmer McDonald will reward you with Tier 2 Spring Fruit and Spring Vegetable seeds! These crops will yield energy and gold balanced for your higher level.

Joel has various species of bees for you to choose from after you complete his bee helping quests! They are:

- Leafcutter Bee
- Red-tailed Bumblebee
- Tawny Mining Bee
- Blue Banded Bee
- Neon Cuckoo Bee
- Green Carpenter Bee
- Golden Tail Bee
- Green Sweat Bee
- Purple Orchid Bee

A Seed Surplus

Have too many seeds? There are things you can spend them on:
- 10 Fertilizer, once daily
- The Spring Gift Bouquet, once daily (alternatively to buying for Spring Tokens)
- Resetting the cooldown on the critic's judging of your garden

Gorgeous Garden Contest

Returning is the Gorgeous Garden contest, where each Bush Whacker submits a screenshot of their garden for all to judge! Check back next week for more details.

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

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, yorven, simril.

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!

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

Witchlight Hand - Yorven can be used in any Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign adventure or variant, even if he would not normally be available to be used due to variant or patron restrictions.

Formation Abilities

Rag Tag Team - Yorven increases the damage of all Champions in the formation by 100% for each unique species in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
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.
Danger Sense - All Champions take 5 less damage from all attacks, and Rag Tag Team is increased by 500% each time Yorven's max health is doubled, stacking multiplicatively.
Down The Rabbit Hole - Yorven increases the effect of Rag Tag Team by 20% for each adventure, variant, and Patron variant you have completed in the Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign, stacking multiplicatively.

Specializations

Hunger For Blood - Yorven's damage is increased by 1000% and if an enemy dies while he is attacking it with Ferocious Maul, he immediately leaps to another enemy and begins attacking that one. This adds one additional attack to Ferocious Maul each time it triggers.
Eldritch Claw Tattoo - Each time Yorven Springpaw attacks during Ferocious Maul, an inky tendril of Eldritch energy shoots out and zaps a different random enemy, dealing 1 second of BUD-based damage. The amount is increased by 400% if Yorven is the BUD-setting Champion. If no other enemies are on screen, this ability does nothing.
Follow The Mad Rabbit - Yorven's Rag Tag Team is increased by 50% for each Blood Fury stack Yorven has.
Infectious Fury - Yorven gains the Debuff role and any enemy he has attacked takes 100% additional damage from all Champions each time it attacks a member of the formation, stacking multiplicatively up to 25 times.

Idle Champions: Great Modron March 8

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle, champions, event, new content, update, vlithryn, yorven, the great modron march.

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!

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.

Standard Boon System

Boon XP Level	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4
Global DPS	100%	300%	500%	900%
Gold Find	100%	300%	500%	900%

Boon XP Level	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5
Global DPS	200%	800%	2600%	8000%	24200%
Gold Find	100%	300%	700%	1500%	3100%
Health	50%	125%	237.5%	406.3%	659.4%

* Note: We have tweaked the Click Damage buff in May as noted above.

New Champion: Vlithryn

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, vlithryn, awful ones, the great modron march.

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 lighting attacks will leave you begging for a revivify that you can’t afford.

Vlithryn is a Support, Healing, and Control Champion who came to the surface world to help the unfortunate land dwellers. This devout follower of the deity Persana boosts the damage of Champions in front of her, heals the most injured ally every second, and can revive fallen Champions in moments of dire need.

Pantheon of Blessings - Vlithryn increases the effect of Justice of the Depths by 10% for each Global Tier Blessing you have unlocked, stacking multiplicatively.
Revivify - When a Champion is defeated, Vlithryn consumes a Revivify charge and screams in frustration, pushing back all enemies a short distance. She then casts Revivify and heals the defeated Champion, bringing them back to life at full health. Vlithryn's Revivify charges are equal to the number of Awful Ones in the formation and reset upon changing areas. The effect of Justice of the Depths is increased by 400% for each Revivify charge used in the current area, stacking multiplicatively.

- The healing amount of Cleric Clinic is increased by 10% for each Dire Straits stack, stacking additively.

Notary System

Today we're launching the long-awaited Notary system! Read on for all the details...
What is the Notary?

The Notary allows Blacksmithing and Bounty Contracts to be converted between rarities at no cost. You can also directly convert Bounty Contracts into Event Tokens without needing to use them (though you forfeit the gold reward). Finally, you can purchase the average contents of Silver Chest and Gold Chest bundles without having to purchase and open the Chests themselves.

Can I trade my Bounty Contracts for Blacksmithing Contracts, or vise-versa?

No, you can not trade between types of contracts. You can only convert between rarities of the same type.

What do I get when trading Bounty Contracts for Event Tokens?

You get the same number of Event Tokens by converting Bounty Contracts through the Notary compared to using them manually. However, you do not get any of the gold.

What do I get when purchasing Chest Contents with Gems?

When purchasing Chest contents with gems in the Notary, you will receive precisely the average Chest contents for the respective type, assuming all equipment items were duplicates. Purchasing Gold Chest contents will award Event Tokens and Feats, whereas the Silver Chest contents provide more Potion Reagents, Evergreen Item Levels, and Tiny Blacksmithing Contracts.

In order to access this tab, all of the Evergreen Champions you own (both core and unlocked) must have Epic or better equipment in all slots.

Opening the Vault

The Vault reopens, offering different deals every day.

You can access the Vault from the notification pop-up or through the in-game shop.

For a fashionable amount of time only...

The exclusivity of the following items (from the December Xbox Perks Promo & October Vampire Emergence) has passed, and they are now more accessible.

BW2: April 2025 Bubble Buddies Mini-Event!

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!

Discuss this mini-event on the forums!
