Notary System

Today we're launching the long-awaited Notary system! Read on for all the details...
What is the Notary?

The Notary allows Blacksmithing and Bounty Contracts to be converted between rarities at no cost. You can also directly convert Bounty Contracts into Event Tokens without needing to use them (though you forfeit the gold reward). Finally, you can purchase the average contents of Silver Chest and Gold Chest bundles without having to purchase and open the Chests themselves.

Can I trade my Bounty Contracts for Blacksmithing Contracts, or vise-versa?

No, you can not trade between types of contracts. You can only convert between rarities of the same type.

What do I get when trading Bounty Contracts for Event Tokens?

You get the same number of Event Tokens by converting Bounty Contracts through the Notary compared to using them manually. However, you do not get any of the gold.

What do I get when purchasing Chest Contents with Gems?

When purchasing Chest contents with gems in the Notary, you will receive precisely the average Chest contents for the respective type, assuming all equipment items were duplicates. Purchasing Gold Chest contents will award Event Tokens and Feats, whereas the Silver Chest contents provide more Potion Reagents, Evergreen Item Levels, and Tiny Blacksmithing Contracts.

In order to access this tab, all of the Evergreen Champions you own (both core and unlocked) must have Epic or better equipment in all slots.

Opening the Vault

The Vault reopens, offering different deals every day.

You can access the Vault from the notification pop-up or through the in-game shop.

For a fashionable amount of time only...

After such a long and cold winter, the citizens of Daggerford are eager to celebrate the Festival of Fools: a day of feasting, drinking, and general foolishness. People don brightly colored and garish clothing, dancing in the street like court jesters and competing with one another to see who can pull off the most foolish (yet harmless) pranks.

During the festivities, a concerned villager approaches the party and asks for help. She says that her husband's prank is to try and taunt a frost giant...

Festival of Fools 8 has arrived, and with it, a unique event: Beadle & Grimm have been separated and updated to become two separate Champions! For more information on this month's Featured Champions, read on -- but first, let's talk about an update we are making to Events!

Events Update: Choosing Your Path

When we introduced Events 2.0, players would pick from a range of Flex Champions for each event. However, if players picked the same Champion multiple times, that Champion's progress would continue where it left off. Moving forward, that need not be the case.

For those of you who were playing last year, you likely have a selection of Champions in each event with some level of Event 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.

Flex Champions

Flex Slots allow players to unlock additional Champions and earn chests during events, choosing from a pool of retired Champions associated with the event. This collection of retired Champions includes the Champions from previous years of the event as well as some Champions whose events have been retired. This event's Flex Slot pool includes:

Event Augments

• Boon XP!: The boon system has been reworked in this event! Eligible items purchased with Platinum now grant Boon XP, which unlocks boon levels. The boon level cap has also been removed. Check out all the details here.
• Extra Benefits: When the event ends, you'll earn Scales of Tiamat* based on what you completed within the event. You'll get 250 Scales for every event variant of tier 2 or above that you have completed and 250 Scales for each Boon XP you've obtained.
  *Scales of Tiamat are used in the Legendary Forge to craft Legendary Equipment.
• Auto-Blacksmith: Event Champions whose recruitment adventure or variants you complete gain common rarity equipment in all slots, if they don't already have better.
• Brothers in Arms: Completing tier 2+ variants for Beadle or Grimm awards double chests.

You can check out which Augments are active at any time by mousing over the Event Banner.

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.

To learn more about our Champion Update for Beadle, read on...

Beadle

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.

Ultimate Ability

• Arcane Strike (magic) - Beadle teleports and blasts all enemies with arcane magic, dealing ultimate damage and stunning them.

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!

Grimm

Abilities

Basic Attack

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

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 Beadle is in the formation, all of Grimm's equipment item levels are increased by Beadle's base average item level.
• Get Buff - Each time Grimm attacks an enemy, his base attack cooldown is reduced by 0.2 seconds and he deals 20% more damage, stacking up to 25 times. Damage bonus stacks multiplicatively, while the base attack cooldown stacks additively. Stacks reset upon changing areas unless Moving Right Along is triggered.
• 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.

• Giant Taunter - Grimm taunts all enemies he attacks, causing them to switch targets and attack him. For each enemy that has attacked him in the current area, his damage is increased by 20%, stacking multiplicatively up to 100 times.
• Giant Profits - Grimm gains the Gold Find role. Enemies that Grimm defeats drop 50% additional gold for each enemy he has defeated in the current area, stacking multiplicatively and capping at 20.

Ultimate Ability

• One-on-One (melee) - Grimm attacks the enemy with the most health and knocks back other enemies in a small area. In non boss areas, a Frost Giant spawns in revenge.
