- Neon Cuckoo Bee
- Green Carpenter Bee

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

  • 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.

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!

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.

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.

The effect of Justice of the Depths is increased by 400% for each Revivify charge used in the current area, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Divine Intervention - Vlithryn gains one Dire Straits stack every time she effectively heals a Champion with Cleric Clinic. When she reaches 30 stacks, Persana appears and blesses her with the following:

    - Revivify immediately gains an additional charge
    - Justice of the Depths is increased by 10% for each Dire Straits stack, stacking multiplicatively
    - The healing amount of Cleric Clinic is increased by 10% for each Dire Straits stack, stacking additively.

    Dire Straits stacks continue to increase after Persana appears, up to a maximum of 100. Upon changing areas, Vlithryn loses up to 25 Dire Strait stacks, and if her stacks drop below 30, Persana disappears, taking his blessings with him.

Specializations

  • Who Else Would Save Them? - Vlithryn increases Justice of the Depths' damage bonus by 200% for every Champion in the formation with an INT score of 12 or lower, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Help the Unfortunate - Vlithryn increases Justice of the Depths' damage bonus by 300% for each Champion in the formation with a total ability score of 78 or lower, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Spreading the Word - Vlithryn increases Justice of the Depths' damage bonus by 300% for each unique Species in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.

Ultimate Ability

  • Call Lightning (magic) - Vlithryn zaps the enemy with the most remaining Health and then empowers her attack with lightning for 15 seconds, increasing her attack speed and adding BUD-based damage.

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...

Exclusivity Update

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

Added to the Gem Shop:
  • Sharran Shadowheart Skin (20,000 Gems)
Added to Wild Offer / Weekly Offer Pool:

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!

Discuss this mini-event on the forums!
