Summer Carnival Event 2025

The Carnival has returned to town! Get ready to play some games, help some Bushwhackian residents and win carnival tokens which you can exchange for cool prizes at the Carnival Event Vendor!

The Carnival Games

A staple of any summer carnival or fair, are those devilish carnival games. There are four different games which will unlock over the course of the event and they include "Balloon Popper," "Whack-A-Mole," "Baseball Throw," and "Duck Shoot." Don't worry, there's no skill involved with these games, you play them automatically when you interact with them.

- It costs 4 carnival tickets to play each game, and you can whack those tickets out of the bushes, or purchase them from Timmy in the Event area for Bush Bucks (30 Salvaged Tickets for 30 Bush Bucks)

- You receive Carnival Tokens based on how well you do. Now, we're not saying they're rigged in the Carnival's favour or anything, but you'll definitely want to ask your friends to help you rig these games to help you!

To get started, the Balloon Popper game is unlocked! As well, it seems William needs your help to satisfy his sweet-tooth!

A Teleporter to Somewhere...

The Pandaclaw was wandering around here somewhere....build the teleporter and complete all the quests and get your very own!

The Dunk Tank

The dunk tank returns! Can you dunk all 8 helpless Bushwhackian residents? NPCs you haven't dunked yet will have a yellow exclamation mark above their heads, to let you know you still need to send them plunging into the icy waters of the tank! It'll help them all cool off. Plus, the tank is always in need of cleaning, so try to keep up with Katherine's daily Dunk Tank Cleaning quests!

Clowning Around

Peat Bog, Pete the Carney's brother has some tasks for you to help him put on a show!

Testing Your Power

And how are your Power collection skills? Are you strong enough to win all the bonus prizes? There are 7 strength settings to beat, unlocking as the event goes on as Strong-Whacker Sabine continuously tries to increase the difficulty of her Strong-Whacker Strength Machine Game.

A Fortune Told

Baba Pythia's seen the future, and it's of you helping her set up a fortune telling booth at the event!

Big Top Blow Out!

A menagerie of circus critters have escaped the big top, and the shady guy wants to know what they were hiding in there! Help him get the details in this challenging new quest.

VIP Rewards!

Active VIP members can claim unique rewards based on their event progress! If you don't have an active membership, you have the entire event to consider becoming one! You can earn and claim these rewards until the end of the event.

New this year

This year's update includes:

- new tier 4 and 5 VIP rewards!
- new costume items in the store!
- new ranch items in the store!
- new pet packs!
- new mount packs!
- new holiday 100% reward!
- new pandaclaw skin!
- new challenging quest!

Holiday Plushie

If you can complete the event, you'll earn this awesome 100% reward: The Carnival Plushie! Collect them all!

A new Pandaclaw Skin!

Once you complete the teleporter quest line and capture a Pandaclaw, Taban the Teleporter Engineer will offer to transmogrify your Pandaclaw companions, changing their appearance, with science! There are now EIGHT Pandaclaw skins to choose from, each yielding a type of pet DNA.

And more!

K'thriss Drow'b has been updated to modernize his design and provide more opportunities to synergize with other Champions from Acq Inc, The "C" Team, and the Wafflecrew.

Idle Champions: Founders' Day 8

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle, champions, event, new content, update, tess, k'thriss, founders' day.

Celebrations are underway to commemorate the founding of the Free City of Waterdeep. Founders Day attracts huge crowds to the Field of Triumph, where audiences watch illusory shows about Waterdeep's history and martial exhibitions by notable Champions and the renown city guard.

Festivities have also brought an ancient power from Avernus, first layer of the Nine Hells. A fallen angel has arrived to collect souls for the Blood War...

Featured Champions

Tess

Tess grew up in a small village where she wreaked havoc as an amateur thief (she stole to see if she could, not because she wanted to keep the items - mostly), before her parents sent her to be trained by an aging halfling rogue named Mel. Under Mel’s mentorship, Tess became a professional infiltrator, using her skills for good. Now she’s formed her own adventuring party and is actively molding them into the heroes she knows they can be.

Learn more about Tess in her Champion Spotlight.

K'thriss

Learn more about K'thriss in his Champion Spotlight when it arrives on July 4th!.

Turning in the meats and fireworks as well as 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 all the achievements available and how to get them?
Either on the holiday dialog, the achievements dialog, or on the blog.

Champion Update: Krond

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, krond, liar's night.

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

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle, champions, event, new content, update, hank, krond, dragondown.

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!

Steam Local Currency Update

Yesterday, we rolled out an update to Steam players which allows our in-game shop to show their local currencies instead of USD. Steam will now charge players in local currencies instead of a converted USD price, using Steam's standard conversion rates. With this update, local currencies are now displayed in Idle Champions across all platforms except Android, which is our next priority.
