Your Crusaders are stirring up Mischief at Mugwarts in the all-new permanent campaign!

Debuting with 6 tricky objective to try, can you muster the magic?


To go along with the new campaign, there's a special promotion!

5 magical Crusaders (if you've unlocked Wendy the Witch) have a buff to their powers this weekend!

As well, you can pick up unique chests which will have a selection of gear for just those 5!

The special buff and the sale run until Monday February 29th at Noon PST!

Just wondering, what references will you be making next?

I'm currently enjoying my time at Hogw... I mean Mugwarts.

Yay, thanks for more to do! I'm off on 400 currently and have Khouri's GE. I like the idea of small groups for items with rl money. This grouping wasn't my favorite lineup, but gave me something new to work with. I don't care to gamble the money to put Emo over Sarah (who currently has a GE and top damage with it) since she's still easier to work with, but I can see this putting him back on top for others.

I'm hoping that you're not gonna go down a slippery slope of releasing EVENT GEAR through these campaigns.

@thedude Yeah, that's what I meant to say. This can be a thing people would quit over.

I guess I'll chime in too. It kind of does feel like they're going overboard with Golden Epics and Pay-to-win lately. I don't mind it when stuff can be attained in the long-run through hard work, but all of these cash-shop exclusive overpowered items are getting kind of ridiculous and feel like they're breaking game balance with them all added up, especially since many of these bonuses multiply.

Of course, this is coming from the perspective of someone who bought some chests a few times just to support the game because I enjoy it and want the game to do well. Maybe there are some people who will only spend money if they get a huge boost, but aren't loads of jeweled chests enough? If this game goes too far down that road, I'll probably still play it as long as I'm enjoying it, but I won't be recommending it others anymore.

One more thought...since they're all timed, might these Golden Epic sales eventually become counter-productive? Who wants to join a game late when you've already missed out on so many powerups that can never be attained again? Why pay money for new cash-shop exclusives if you can't collect them all?

Edit: Perhaps this ended up a little more critical/harsh than I would have liked. I just enjoy this game and don't want to see it go the way of Adventure Capitalism which has lost a tremendous amount of support from its hardcore community in the last month or so. It's extremely negative over there now.

I disagree with the " It kind of does feel like they're going overboard with Golden Epics and Pay-to-win lately".

1. it's a single player game; there is no competition between players; the fact that other players are doing better than you because they paid should have no effect on you whatsoever.

2. if by win you mean completing every objective, one still needs tens of thousands of idols to do that, GE simply facilitate your course.

3. regardless of you like it or not, a game relying only on people who "bought some chests a few times just to support the game" is not going to be profitable especially when the devs update the game content so frequently (which I really appreciate!)

Glad everyone is enjoying the new campaign.

@ NoOneOnEarth: The sixth campaign is TBD.

@ Erich: Sorry, the Golden Epic is currently only available this weekend. Thank you for the other feedback as well. We did email everyone on the newsletter a free chest though.

@ ZeroTakenaka: This is one way of introducing event gear again, but we are still working on the free player option for more gear. This promotion is just an experiment.

@ Smash: You're welcome to attend. I had suggested Mugworts (the herb), but it ended up Mugwarts.

@ Roku: The Golden Epics only help players to get a few more areas and Idols, and if you are paying for power, you might as well get some. We do have other plans for gear for Crusaders, possibly Legendary items, and we're not sure how the Golden Epic rotation will look. You could argue that missing a Golden Epic is just like not being around for event Crusaders, and so you need to get creative with the Crusaders you do have to make your progress.

@ thedude: Rubies will still just be for normal Jeweled chests at the moment. If we do make changes to ruby use, we will give the player base a long heads-up.

income is not all from people paying into the game, there's advertisements and other revenue sources too.

Earlier today some of us noticed that the leprechaun doesn't count as a magical being for the objective. I can buy the elf not being even if they ARE normally portrayed as such... but the leprechaun?! Everyone knows they are magical.
