New Feature & Content

Tier 16

Another year, another spring. As the weather softens on this side of the realm, it would have been as any other season… if a meteor hadn’t crashed near the Kingdom! This cosmic event foretold by Evelyn during her Stardust research brought about a new load of exotic resources and interstellar threats and the means to combat them!

[p align="start"]That’s right, a new Tier is here! 

[p align="start"]Tier 16 is finally here and there are 36 new mainline blueprints, six new chest blueprints and one new blueprint for Mundra to discover and craft! Thanks to the aloof (and aloft) Xzyurnip, new fearsome weapons such as the Paradox Entity, elegant attire like the Worldshaper Robe and the morbiulicious Vegan Glorb are now available to all!

[p align="start"]Of course, such exquisite new crafts can only be made using the highest quality materials. With Evelyn’s most recent discoveries, the exotic Stardust.

Stardust

Tier 16 items require the new Stardust resource in order to be crafted. As this resource has just been discovered, there’s no worker in charge of it! You’ll have to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself! 

[p align="start"]Plop down the new Stardust Grinder bin in your shop, and feed it a few components of your choice. Over time, they’ll be ground down into the Stardust resource you can use to craft this new tier.

New Quest & Timewarped Components

Venture into the Meteor Zone to face invaders from outer space! The Xzyurnip and its offspring (the Xzyurnippies) guard the crash site, but amidst the rubbles of the landfall, new exotic materials have been identified: Xzyur Claws, Xzyur Eyes and Alien Bulbs. Webbed Wings, Precious Gems and Overgrown Vines exposed to the otherworldly scenery have also been known to Timewarp into Wing Nexus, Paramount Gem and Hybridized Vine.

The new Meteor Zone quest can be unlocked starting at Merchant Level 68 for 30 billion (30G) Gold or 6000 Gems.

New Lost City of Gold Blueprints

With Tier 16 upon us and every Platinum item released and looted, it’s time for a new look to Lost City of Gold blueprints! We’re going down under the sea to find Pearlescent beauties!

[p align="start"]These items are worth quite the pretty penny and require the new Precious Pearl component to craft.

[p align="start"]Pearlescent blueprints are available in the Pearlescent Chest using a Pearlescent Key. They can also be found in the latest difficulty of the Lost City of Gold dungeon. Read more about the new difficulty in the Balance Changes section below.

[p align="start"]The new unofficial moniker is Coralcog btw.
