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!

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

Idle Champions: Introducing Raistlin Majere 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Born frail yet gifted with an uncanny aptitude for magic, Raistlin Majere is the Sorcery to his older twin brother Caramon's Sword. 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. Together with his fellow Heroes of the Lance, Raistlin wields his formidable arcane talents against Takhisis, the Dragon Queen.
Raistlin is a DPS Champion who excels when positioned away from the rest of the formation. His damage grows when positional formation abilities focus on just him and a small number of other Champions, and he'll periodically toss a fireball at the next area, resulting in enemies being softened up before the party arrives.

Raistlin Majere is the first Hero of the Lance to come to Idle Champions -- but he will not be the last! We've been privileged to get a chance to work with author Margaret Weis to bring Raistlin to life as he was at the beginning of Dragons of Autumn Twilight, just five years after he completed his Test of High Sorcery, when he and his brother Caramon met up with their friends at the Inn of the Last Home.

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Magic Missile (magic) - Raistlin fires a number of magic missiles at the toughest enemies.

Formation Abilities

  • Prodigy of High Sorcery - Raistlin increases his damage by 100% for each Champion that is not adjacent to him, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Savant - For each positional formation ability affecting Raistlin, he gains Intensity stacks based on how few other Champions are also affected by the same ability. He gains one stack if there are three other Champions affected, two if there are two other Champions affected, three if there is only one other Champion affected, and four if Raistlin is the only Champion affected. The effect of Prodigy of High Sorcery is increased by 100% for each Intensity stack Raistlin has, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Debilitating Magic - When Raistlin attacks and is at or above 90% of his max health, he takes 1% of his max health as damage but deals 400% more damage with his attack.
  • Herbalism - Other Champions' healing effects on Raistlin are reduced by 50%. Whenever any other Champion in the formation uses an ultimate attack, Raistlin drinks a cup of tea after his next attack, healing himself for 2% of his max health for each ultimate that was used, stacking additively.
  • Flames of High Sorcery - While fighting in an area with an incomplete quest, Raistlin casts Fireball at enemies in the next area after every fourth attack. This causes those enemies to spawn with missing health equal to 10% of their max health, stacking additively up to five times.

Specializations

  • Heroic Mage - Raistlin increases the effect of Prodigy of High Sorcery by 125% for each Good Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Reclusive Mage - Raistlin increases the effect of Prodigy of High Sorcery by 125% for each Champion in the formation with a Melee or Ranged base attack, stacking multiplicatively.

BW2: Be our 2026 Valentine? 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Happy Valentine's Day Bushwhackers!

The residents of the Commons are putting on a Valentine's Day dance, so you know what that means! Helping with the set-up through one-time and daily quests, plus turn-ins!

It's not Valentine's without presents! Help stock the stands with Chocolates, Teddy Bears and Roses by turning in Candy Hearts as the stations unlock.

Getting Organized


The event organizer seems a bit frazzled. Why don't you help her out by doing her set-up quests each day? And don't forget to keep those party supplies topped off!

Once the Valentine's dance has started, you get to look for the partner of your choice to share a moment on the dance floor.

Jim & Sasha <3

Jim and Sasha's relationship quests are around. If you haven't married them yet, you'll see either their Dating or Proposal quest line. If they are married, you get to help the pair pack for their honeymoon, or celebrate their anniversary.

Your Secret Admirer

And who is that mysterious note from this year?

Like Rabbits

Aaron's bunnies, Cinnamon and Snowball, have run off and are making like, well rabbits! This is a challenging quest that might take you the better part of the event to complete, as you've got to catch not only Cinnamon and Snowball, but their 100 little bunny babies as well! Good luck!

Nate's Complicated Relationship

Nate's needs your help setting up a date with his one true love: Adventure! When he returns from his "date", he'll bring you back a Trophy for his sister Natalie. Later on, one of the girls will need some support after her Kindler Date dumps her. Ice Cream daily quests ought to help, until it's time to help them through the 5 stages of grief. All five quests will unlock right after each other and then she will have a new daily quest for you.

Battle of the Bands!

If you're all caught up on Jimmie's quest series, he'll challenge Marvin to a battle of the bands! You're the judge, assuming you can stay conscious during their face-melting guitar solos!

Changing Sanctuary Partners!

Now's the only change to break up with your current partner in Sanctuary Village. Sounds harsh, I know. But we've gotten requests to be able to switch who you're dating, so this is how you do it: Talk to your partner, Burl or Faun, and choose the "I think we should break up" chat option. After which you'll be able to date the other person, or even them again. Note you can only do this during the Valentine's event, and cannot do it during the Gift of Love quest.

The Dragon Flight

Remember that dragon that was invited to Nate's birthday but continued to burn the Commons because it was sick? It's back!

This quest replaces Nate's Teddy Bear quest after you've completed his "Crawling Back" quest the previous year.

- new costume items in the store!
