BW2: Creature Collector - Dinosaur mounts!

Tags: bw2, March, 2025, mini, event, creature, collector, mounts.

Coppers of the Creature Collector

The eccentric Creature Collector has returned to the Commons, this time with a trio of vicious utahraptor mounts!

Head to the event area and choose one to train. You have until noon on Wednesday April 2nd to complete the collector's four daily quests, level up your chosen creature, earn Creature Coppers to spend in their store, and get another page to your Creature Collector's Compendium!

The Compendium Page will be given after the event ends. If you don't have the Creature Collector's Compendium ranch item, you'll get it when you get your first page.

After the event, the collector will be taking their creature back unless you adopt it by purchasing its corresponding mount pack, available starting Monday March 31st.

Train hard, Bush Whackers!

The training quests unlock at noon on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Those busy on the weekends can still catch up!

Notes
- The VIP "Quest Reset" power does not reset these mini event quests, and they are not affected by the Time Turner and Timey Whimey Watch.
- Swapping your event mount with a higher level mount doesn't count towards event progress.
- These three mounts earn double the experience compared to other mounts for the duration of this mini-event!
- Expiring mounts cannot have their bonuses swapped.

Ye Olde Creature Collector's Galleria - Mounts

When you speak to Tanela Tiva in the event area, you can select the "What past mounts are for sale?" chat option.

This will open a new store, which will contain 3 non-event premium mounts you have never owned! They cost Bush Bucks, like in event stores. The selection will change next time Tanela Tiva visits to event area.

We've done this in response to players asking to see old premium mounts they've missed out on, to help you fill out your pet collection. Snag those old-school mounts you're missing out on!

Champion Update: Beadle

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, beadle, festival of fools.

Beadle may not have the strength of his best friend Grimm, but his quick wit and sharp instincts have saved the day more times than he can count. Whether managing the Giant’s Bane Tavern or outsmarting enemies, Beadle brings cunning to every adventure.

Beadle is a cunning Support, Gold Find, and Control Champion with powerful synergies when paired with his best friend, Grimm. He boosts nearby Champions' damage, steals extra gold from enemies while stunning them, and his support scales with a specialization choice tailored to your Champions' gear.

This month, we're taking the previously single Champion Beadle & Grimm, and moving them to different seats to create two separate Champions! Both Champions have been reworked, allowing you to now field powered-up versions of both Beadle and his buddy Grimm in your formation at the same time! There are some small housekeeping notes since this is such a unique rebalance:

Existing skins will be separated and credited to both Champions Beadle and Grimm (once you unlock him).
Equipment & Item Levels on the former Beadle and Grimm Champion will transfer to the new Beadle.
Most feats on Beadle & Grimm will transfer to Beadle, with the exception of Tavern Brawler and Grappler, which move to Grimm.

Abilities

Basic Attack

Magic Wand (melee/magic) - Beadle bonks a random enemy with a wand. This unleashes two magic missiles that fly out and hit two other random enemies.

Passive Abilities

Inseparable - Beadle & Grimm are so inseparable that if either one qualifies for an adventure restriction based on their tags, ages, ability scores, etc., then both can be used.

Formation Abilities

Brothers In Armors - If Grimm is in the formation, all of Beadle's equipment item levels are increased by Grimm's base average item level.
In The Shadows - Beadle increases the damage of Champions within 2 slots of himself by 400%, and enemies that hit targets affected by this have a 20% chance to miss.
Sticky Fingers - Whenever Beadle attacks an enemy, he causes it to immediately drop 20% of the gold it would award on death. The enemy then stops and checks its pockets, stunning it for 2 seconds. This can only occur to each enemy 5 times.
Share The Glory - Most positional formation abilities that affect Beadle also affect Grimm if he is in the formation. If Grimm is already affected by the same ability, Beadle instead increases the effect of In The Shadows by 800%.
Ultimate Tag Team - When Grimm uses his ultimate ability in the same party as Beadle, Beadle's ultimate ability goes on cooldown and he gains one Tag Team stack. For each Tag Team stack Beadle has, his ultimate cooldown is reduced by 5 seconds, and his next ultimate attack deals 200% more damage, stacking multiplicatively. Tag Team stacks cap at 10 and reset when Beadle uses his ultimate ability.

Specializations

Epic Equipment - The effect of In The Shadows is increased by 20% for each piece of Epic or better equipment on Champions in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
Premium Gear - The effect of In The Shadows is increased by 0.075% for every item level on your formation's Champions' equipment, stacking multiplicatively. Each individual Champion can contribute at most 1,800 stacks.
Shiniest Loot - The effect of In The Shadows is increased by 30% for each piece of Shiny or Golden equipment on Champions in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.

Champion Update: Grimm

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, grimm, festival of fools.

Grimm’s immense strength and steadfast loyalty make him the perfect partner for Beadle’s clever schemes. A giant in both stature and courage, Grimm is as at home smashing through foes as he is keeping the Giant’s Bane Tavern running smoothly.

Grimm is a DPS, Tanking, and Breaker Champion who thrives alongside his best friend, Beadle. Grimm's damage and armor-breaking abilities intensify as the battle rages on, with specialization choices that let him taunt enemies, find gold, or slay giants.

This month, we're taking the previously single Champion Beadle & Grimm, and moving them to different seats to create two separate Champions! Both Champions have been reworked, allowing you to now field powered-up versions of both Beadle and his buddy Grimm in your formation at the same time! There are some small housekeeping notes since this is such a unique rebalance:

Abilities

Giant's Bane (melee) - Grimm cleaves through the nearest enemies with his two enormous greatswords.

Passive Abilities

Formation Abilities

Brothers In Armors - If Beadle is in the formation, all of Grimm's equipment item levels are increased by Beadle's base average item level.

Break Their Will - Each time Grimm attacks an enemy and breaks at least one armor or segmented health, he breaks 1 more on all subsequent attacks, stacking additively up to 5 times. Stacks reset upon changing areas unless Moving Right Along is triggered.
Moving Right Along - If the party completes a new area within 15 seconds of entering it, Grimm's Get Buff and Break Their Will stacks do not reset upon entering the next area.
Barbarian's Protection - Grimm increases the health of all other Champions by 25% of his max health and any healing effect on those Champions is increased by 25%.
Ultimate Tag Team - When Beadle uses his ultimate ability in the same party as Grimm, Grimm's ultimate ability goes on cooldown and he gains one Tag Team stack. For each Tag Team stack Grimm has, his ultimate cooldown is reduced by 5 seconds, and his next ultimate attack deals 200% more damage, stacking multiplicatively. Tag Team stacks cap at 10 and reset when Grimm uses his ultimate ability.

Welcome to the Event Augments preview for Festival of Fools!

Our next event arrives on April 2, and despite the name, it's no joke - significant changes are coming to Event Boons as part of the 'Boon XP!'

Choose Your Path: Resetting or Maintaining Tier Completion

For those of you who were playing last year, you likely have a selection of Champions in each event with some level of progress. Starting with Festival of Fools, if you choose a Flex Champion who already has event tier progress, you will be presented with a choice: You can choose to maintain that progress and pick up where you left off (automatically triggering any Champion Event Buffs you unlocked last year), or you may choose to reset that progress and re-collect Gold Chests and Bonus rewards from Augments as you complete each variant tier again.

Idle Champions: Apothecary

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle, champions, announcement, system, apothecary.

Well Met, Champions!

Today we have introduced a brand new system to Idle Champions: the Apothecary.

The Apothecary allows players to Distill, Enhance, and Brew potions to create the types of potions they want, including a new tier of potions: Legendary Potions!

To learn more, read on...

Welcome to the Apothecary

The new Apothecary system is accessed from the Potion inventory screen and from the Potion Manager. From here you can:

Distill existing potions into Potion Reagents and Legendary Vessels. The amount of Potion Reagents gained is based on the rarity of potions.

Enhance existing potions to higher rarities, using Potion Reagents and Legendary Vessels.

Brew new potions of your choice, using Potion Reagents and Legendary Vessels.

Legendary Potions

Note: Last week we updated the title of the existing Legendary Potions that you can collect when dismantling a legendary piece of equipment to Legendary Equipment Potions. Those potions are different from the Legendary potions we're introducing today.

Legendary Potions are a new type of potion crafted exclusively through the Apothecary using Potion Reagents and Legendary Vessels:

Legendary Potions require 1 Legendary Vessel and 1,440 Potion Reagents to craft from scratch.
Legendary Potions have larger base effects than Epic Potions but also increase the effect of all active potions by 15%, stacking multiplicatively.

The global speed cap remains in place, however, the Legendary Speed Potion has an additional effect: Game Speed Cap +5% per Speed Potion active, stacking additively.
With five Legendary Potions active, all Potions effects are roughly doubled.

Legendary Potions last for 24 hours and persist through adventure resets. Using additional Legendary Potions adds to the duration.

Potion Type	Potion Effect	Potion Duration
Legendary Giant's Strength	Global DPS +1500% & All Potions' Effects +15%	24 hours
Legendary Clairvoyance	Gold Find +500% & All Potions' Effects +15%	24 hours
Legendary Heroism	Champion Health +400% & All Potions' Effects +15%	24 hours
Legendary Fire Breath	Clicks deal 900s of BUD & All Potions' Effects +15%	24 hours
Legendary Speed	Game Speed +225%, All Potions' Effects +15%, & Game Speed Cap +5% per speed potion active, stacking additively (max +25%)	24 hours

Collect a free Legendary Vessel each week!

We've updated the Daily Rewards to include a Legendary Vessel, available to collect for free each week! - You'll find it under Day 7:

Log in and check it out!

Everyone who logs into Idle Champions after Noon today, and before Noon PT on March 19th will collect a free Legendary Vessel, as well as 1440 Potion Reagents - enough to brew your first Legendary Potion! Learn more by clicking the Apothecary button in the Potion inventory screen or the Potion Manager. There is a handy overview of Distill/Enhance/Brew costs visible in the FAQ section.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Bushwhackers!

The Commons is greener than usual! That's because the Commons Party Planning Committee is putting on a St. Patrick's day party!

Unfortunately, the guests of honour seem to have gotten lost in the bushes. Go whack them up and help them find their way to the Event Area!

Leprechaun Collect-a-thon

There are eight Leprechauns to whack up that will help you put on a rocking St. Patrick's Day party! Every day the event goes on, the odds to whack them up gets larger, so you can get them all before it ends. Three of them will have turn-in stations for you to do and the others will have repeatable quests for you to do for event progress.

A Rainbow of Quests

Unlocking throughout the event are previous year quest lines:

Mr. Keith is looking to put out his special brew again. Help him find the ingredients.

Alec Guiness is whipping up another strange Patty's craft brew to show up Mr. Keith's own beer. Help gather his unusual ingredients.

Seamus is in the mood to do some whacking of his own, but first he needs your help to make the perfect shillelagh.

Siobhan is throwing her version of an Irish Feast...but the dishes got lost in the bushes. Go find them for her!

Those poor snakes are tired of being whacked so often. Help their leader out by setting up his snake relocation program efforts.

Help Bree learn about Irish mythology!

A red Leprechaun up on the Rainbow's End Island might need your help at some point.

New this year

This year's update includes:

- 2 new tier 4 and 5 VIP rewards!
- new costume items in the store!
- new ranch items in the store!
- new sequel to Bree's mythology quest line!
- new pet packs!
- new mount packs!
- new holiday 100% reward!

FAQ

What are the different leprechauns?
You can whack up two types of leprechauns: hatted and non-hatted.

There are 8 hatted ones to find, 3 will unlock turn-in stations, and the other 5 will give you daily quests. You must manually whack these ones to capture them.

The non-hatted ones will drop items for you to turn into the turn-in stations. You can quick whack and mana whack non-hatted leprechauns when they appear if you wish. The non-hatted leprechauns will *always* drop some turn-in items, rather than just having a chance to.

How can I find the leprechauns?
Just keep whacking. You could whack them all up in a day if you wanted to. The odds to whack up hatted leprechauns will increase as the event goes on.

What adds to my event progress?
Turning in items to the Gold, Beer and Clover stations, and doing quests for folks in the event area.

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.

Why should I ask for friends to help boost turn-ins?
It increases the amount of progress you get from doing a turn-in.
