BW2: March 2026 Bubble Buddies Mini-Event! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

A Visitor From the Far Far Ranch

The Far Far Ranch is far far away, but there's a visitor that's brought a piece of it to the Commons!

Bea's visiting from the Far Far Ranch and has brought three Bubble Buddies to see if they'll thrive in Bushwhackia.

Bubble Buddies

Bubble Buddies are cute bouncy critters that come in an array of looks and abilities! Let's see the three Bea's brought with her:



Buddies eat Bushy Carrots and output Blorts, which Bea will trade you for in her Ye Bouncy Buddy Boutique store. Watch the buddies get bigger and bigger as you feed them!

Buddies will also eat the more rare Spicy Tofu to output Blorts AND a resource unique to that buddy. Here are the buddies and their unique yields:

Koala Buddy - Gold
Moose Buddy - Gems
Smilodon Buddy - Mana/Power

During Bea's visit, Bushy Carrots and Spicy Tofu can be found in bushes all over Bushwhackia.

Help feed their bouncy bodies, earn Blorts, and redeem prizes! The saying goes, 'Big Buddies have bottomless bellies!'

Instant Egg Incubation!

Bea's brought a machine that can instantly hatch a basic pet egg! You'll need to whack up a lot of fuel to get it working, via a challenging collection quest. Should you manage it quickly, you can even attempt it a couple more times at the cost of some Bush Bucks to repair the egg machine.

A Feeding Frenzy!

Bea and her buddies leave on Wednesday March 11th, so make the most of the opportunity while you can!

Discuss this mini-event on the forums!

Champion Update: Deekin 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    A former member of the Dripping Fang clan, Deekin was once a Skald for a White Dragon named Tymofarrar. Once he was released from Tymofarrar's service, he set out to become the most amazing storyteller in all of Faerûn. He yearns to sing and tell stories of heroic deeds, but his songs often devolve into 'tales' of the doom that is coming to him or his companions.
The Story of Doom continues for Deekin Scalesinger.

The kobold whose life was doomed to fail has received a significant rework, modernizing his design, tweaking the numbers, and introducing some new abilities. It's time to take the Story of Doom to even greater heights!

Idle Champions: Fleetswake 9 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    The party is recruited by one of Waterdeep's merchant guilds to look into a number of mysterious ship disappearances over the past year. Superstitious folk blame Umberlee, but the merchant guild isn't so sure, and as the Fair Seas Festival gets underway your party begins their investigation in the Dock Ward of Waterdeep...

Fleetswake Year 9 finally brings the Heroes of the Lance to Idle Champions, and for us, there was only one choice in who should come first: Raistlin Majere.

Raistlin is available now. We hope you enjoy him. Next week, on March 11, a major update will arrive for Deekin Scalesinger, everyone's favorite troubador who sings about doom. Learn about the changes to Deekin's design when his Champion Update Blog arrives on Friday, March 6.

Learn everything you need to know about Fleetswake below!

The youngest wizard ever to attempt the Test of High Sorcery, Raistlin was forever changed, marked by white hair, golden skin, and hourglass eyes that see the accelerated passage of time...

BW2: Generation 20 Pets are Here! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Gotta find 'em all!

A new selection of critters are now available to be your companions!

Those weirdly random abandoned eggs scattered all over Bushwhackia have been switched up and all new pets are ready to hatch when you accept the "Find an Egg" quest from Misty. She will also have all the Generation 20 eggs available to purchase for Bush Bucks during the "Find an Egg" quest.

Other changes to Misty and Hank for Generation 20:

  • Misty will no longer let players abandon Gen 19 pet eggs that they are hatching (they're now too rare). Only current generation pet eggs can be abandoned during hatching. Please note that if you're in the middle of hatching a pet, then that egg will still hatch into whatever pet it would have been before.

  • Generation 19 pet eggs can now be found in Quester's Satchels (with the same limitations as the Generation 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 eggs, which will still be available in satchels as well.)

  • Hank now sells a random assortment of hatched level 1 Generation 20 pets (instead of Generation 19) for Bush Bucks in his pet store.

PAGAS changes for Generation 20:

  • Generation 20 pet eggs are available to buy with DNA in the PAGAS store, once you have hatched at least five Generation 20 pets. This include 8 unique variations of the new pets.

  • The Pet Progress dialog now includes Generation 20 pets. Another 18 new pets that all players can unlock!

  • Added 1400 unique pet collection reward: DNA Augment
  • Added 1450 unique pet collection reward: 10k Nutritious Training Kibble
And now, without further ado, the information you've all been waiting for:

Generation 20 Pets:

  • Yellow Snake
  • White Scorpion
  • Fuzzy Cyclops Spider
  • Skittle
  • Gray Seal
  • Hornet
  • Crayfish
  • Antelope
  • Wolverine
  • Grubby
