Welcome to version 1.10 with duelling and forging! Here’s how it works:
- The new Duel mode pits you against another player, or if none is available an AI controlled wizard.
- Duels are currently fought with Equipped Law mode, but other modes will be added in the near future.
- If you win a duel you get gold and forge crystals, which you can use to unlock the forge to make your own custom gear.
- Each victory increases your reward level, but as soon as you lose a duel the reward level is reset.
- AI controlled wizards get mana bonuses according to your current duel level - so expect them to get tougher!
- There is a special bonus reward for your first Duel victory of the day - a talisman which is guaranteed to be one you don’t yet possess, and some bonus gold and forge crystals
- The cost of unlocking the forge starts at 5 crystals, but this will increase by 5 with each use.
There is compensation for kickstarter backers at forgemaster level or higher. You will be given enough crystals to use the forge 4 times, minus the number of times you have already used it. The forge cost and number of crystals are altered to reflect the number of uses so far.
As extra compensation for forgemaster backers, they will be awarded the noble creatures skins and noble wizard aura (but not noble rank - this still has to be earned).
