BW2: Creature Collector - Mantis Mounts! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Coppers of the Creature Collector

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



Head to the event area and choose one to train. You have until noon on Wednesday July 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 during this mini-event only!

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.
- These three mounts earn double the experience compared to other mounts for the duration of this mini-event!

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 mount collection. Snag those old-school mounts you're missing out on!

Champion Update: Donaar 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    "This copper, draconic gentleman claims to know more than one hundred different dragons. Chromatic, metallic -- just tons and tons of dragons -- I'm hoping we can leverage some of these connections in our dealings. None of the dragons I've contacted have gotten back to me, but they're probably just very busy right now. This is one of of the busiest times for dragons... or so I've been told by my new best friend, Donaar Blit'zen."
A somewhat goofy and braggadocious dragonborn, Donaar Blit'zen was the second Champion to come out back in Year 2 of Idle Champions. He is long past due for a major rework, and today we'll talk about how we've modernized his design!

Read on to learn all about Donaar's rework!

Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Vajra, Zariel, Elminster (until February 11th, 2029)

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Command (magic) - Donaar casts a random command. His commands target one enemy and deal a small amount of psychic damage in addition to their effect (see the passive Command ability for details).

Passive Abilities

  • Command Word - Donaar attacks with the Command spell. The Command he chooses with each attack is randomly picked from the following options:
    - Hold: the target is stunned for 3 seconds
    - Duel: the target berserks, moving 50% faster and attacking twice as often, but dealing 90% less damage
    - Cower: the target now has a 50% chance to miss on any attack it makes and takes 200% extra damage
    - Droppit: the target drops 200% more gold when it dies
    All Commands last until the target dies, unless otherwise noted.

Formation Abilities

  • Aura of Vitality - Every second, Donaar heals the champion who has lost the most health for 5 health over 10 seconds (1 immediate tick + 10 more ticks each second thereafter). If he targets a champion who already has this effect, it refreshes the duration to 10 seconds, but doesn't immediately tick again.
  • Lead By Example - Donaar increases the damage of Champions in the same column and the column(s) behind him by 100%.
  • Decisionist's Extra Vote - When Donaar is in the formation, most abilities that involve stacks are granted 1 extra stack.
  • Commanding Presence - Enemies affected by one of Donaar's Command Word spells take an additional 100% damage while they are affected by it.

Specializations A

  • Not So Straightforward - Increases the effect of Lead By Example by 100% for each Chaotic Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Scales and Horns - Increases the effect of Lead By Example by 125% for each Dragonborn or Tiefling Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Business Partners - Increases the effect of Lead By Example by 150% for each C-Team or Acquisitions Incorporated affiliated Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.

Specializations B

  • Command: Hold - Donaar casts Command: Hold twice as often with his base attack, and increases the duration of the stun by 2 seconds.
  • Command: Duel - Donaar casts Command: Duel twice as often with his base attack, and the speed of enemies Donaar berserks is increased by 100%.
  • Command: Cower - Donaar casts Command: Cower twice as often with his base attack, and the bonus damage taken by cowering targets is increased by 100%.
  • Command: Droppit - Donaar casts Command: Droppit twice as often with his base attack, and the extra gold dropped is increased by 100%.

Ultimate Ability

  • Acid Vomit (melee) - Donaar attacks the nearest enemies with his comically oversized sword, then vomits acid in a puddle which deals damage to enemies who walk through it.

Idle Champions: Grand Revel 9 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    In the Forgotten Realms, Grand Revel is a day of dancing, music, and the eating of sweet treats of all sorts, from chocolate to red "firemint" candies. But even during such an unparalleled day of joy there are quests to be done and adventures to be had. One such adventure revolves around a missing caravan on Chult -- and the Templar of the Order of the Gauntlet who desperately wants it found...
Grand Revel is back, and with it arrives the latest CNE Original Champion: Kyre, the Sun Soul Monk!

Kyre is available to unlock now, while next week on February 11, a major update arrives for Donaar Blit'zen, the copper dragonborn Decisionist for the Acquisitions Incorporated "C" Team. Learn about the modernization of Donaar's design when his Champion Update Blog arrives on Friday, February 6.

Learn everything you need to know about Grand Revel below!

Featured Champions

Kyre

An unnamed child was born to Damaran refugees fleeing the fall of Bloodstone City at the hands of the Warlock Knights of Vaasa, and orphaned when their parents succumbed to a lingering curse. Taken in by wandering elven monks of Sune, the child grew up in the Waterdhavian Monastery of the Sun, surrounded by compassion, discipline, and the pure light of unconditional love...
