Christmas may have been a month ago, but we have another gift for you to unwrap: a brand new update to Talents!

New!: You won't lose any gains when you exchange your idols. You'll always keep your DPS bonus and Gold Find bonus from the total number of Idols you've earned, even as you spend them!

Check out all the highlights on the blog!

But what are you still doing here reading? Go play with the talents!

OH YES! We were definitely waiting for this. Too bad there isn't a talent to upgrade equipment yet (but I'm not sure there will ever be one). Thanks guys!

EP sharing up to 100%. Event crusaders can be great dpser now. Isn't that nice?!

Well, not so much. That talent is so expensive, it's much better to spend the idols on other things. At least that's how it's working out for me.

Thank you for the feedback so far.

This is just the first round of talents, since players have been waiting so patiently for more to appear.

We do plan to make it easier to gain Idols to max out the talents if you wish.

Great update!
One small request, can we get a new world map soon please now that the talents have made existing objectives much easier to complete than before?

I know it may sound funny, but don't make it too easy too soon to get more idols. Most of us are enjoying our new power and it would be a shame to have it become obsolete before the newness wears off.

I kind of like the talent update

The only think I find a little to expensive is the "Sharing is Caring" talent. to get to the max you will need 43480 idols.

@ Yukonus: Thank you for the feedback. We're happy with the costs at the moment, but we'll keep an eye on it.

@Erika, I am happy too! finally some really nice talents :)
I miss the love for the event crusaders, with the Charing for Caring talent that would give the event crusaders more love, but it's really expensive.

But maybe you have some other plans, that help the old event crusaders (to get some EP or gears), who knows, right!

thanks for the new talents .

I would suggest repec should always be free . any percent based loss is too much . currently 1% would cost me 100 idols and 10% would cost 1k idols . -10- idols per respec would be reasonable as a short run will get us 14-20ish idols .

100 to 1000 idols to respec would not be acceptable unless you plan to increase idol gain by several magnitudes . I'd be good with 1 for 1 :) on idol gain . 1% loss would be bearable then - 10% is still too much . if you cannot recover from what youve lost in a few runs then the numbers are too high .

talk to old EQ players and ask them how they feel about progress loss . :) .

you can set yourselves apart from other games by having zero loss respec . very few online games have it .

Is it me or is the best talent Endurance Training? Increases the time of my Monster Spawn buffs which is really the only way to increase idol farm rate right?

@Rodney I agree that idols are too much for a respec -- Maybe it could cost rubies? That's a loss I can take but wouldn't do carelessly, especially based on the price.
