" Hi everyone!

Today, the beta version will unveil a significant reduction in Spell Fragment costs for Ancient Wonders, with this enhancement scheduled to roll out to all other worlds in the upcoming release cycles.

**Why the Change?**
Following recent adjustments to Ancient Wonders, we observed a noticeable gap between the required and obtained Spell Fragments. While we had plans to address this gap through improved Event and Spire rewards, we've decided not to keep you waiting and are making this enhancement right away. Your feedback is invaluable, and we're committed to ensuring a more balanced and enjoyable gameplay experience!

**What's Changing Exactly?**
The old Spell Fragments costs formula, a simple "Ancient Wonder level" x1000, is getting a makeover! The new and improved formula is more intricate, allowing you to evolve your Ancient Wonder further with significantly fewer Spell Fragments. Let's dive into the specifics:

**Before/After Comparisons:**
To upgrade an AW to level 16 (equivalent to 75% power of level 35), the costs are down by over 60%!
To upgrade an AW to level 28 (90% as powerful as level 35), the costs are down by roughly 50%!
To upgrade an AW to level 35, the costs are down by almost 40%!

**How to Embrace the Change:**
Prepare yourselves for a more accessible journey to enhance your Ancient Wonders and make the most of these reduced Spell Fragment costs. This improvement empowers you to reach higher levels with ease, bringing new dimensions to your strategic gameplay.

Thanks @MinervaOz :)

Here's a pic that illustrates the new vs the old costs (form Discord).

Thanks @MinervaOz and @Hekata
Still can't beat having multiple Moonstone sets, imo. I like that they are finally realising the huge error they made only a few weeks ago.

As for the RRs needed, I think that's also going to be a big issue. Let's hope they look at reducing those costs or even get rid of the need of RRs altogether.

Something we've been asking for a while is now coming soon :)
It was supposed to start tomorrow on Beta but they are having some difficulty so it was postponed to the 8th.

(from Beta Discord)
We'll add a new Spire tab to the game, showing the previous Spire's rewards.
  • April 8rd: Browser beta
  • April 8th: Mobile
  • April 17th: Live markets (Provided there's no major bugs)

Why, what's the use in that and where will they add a new tab?

If I remember correctly people have been asking for a way to track who's done how much in the Spire like we can see for tourneys, so I can only guess that's what we'll get. And it should got right beside the tourney tab in the FS overview window.
 
Yes, you can see exactly where everyone is up to so not sure this tab is that helpful. Ah well :)
I think it may be a new ability to see who participated last week, and notice any repeat 'offenders'. :)

Or it may just be a listing of the FS rewards, for comparative purposes. :cool:

How excitement ...

It just shows how many FS members did Spire each week plus rewards coming up ext, and total points etc. You can already see the info in the Spire plus exactly who is where...

True, but I would also like to see this info for the previous Spire attempts. It would help me keep track of the progress of members in my FS. For example, some may need my help with extra trades if they have been consistently negotiating their way to the top and are short of goods. :)

And, most particularly, to record the final positions on the most recent Spire week. At the moment there is literally no way to do it. The best you can do is always be ready to check everything, five minutes before the Spire closes. It still isn't fool-proof though, as people could be completing waypoints right up to the last second. I used to say to people - Send me a message to tell me about any Spire activity during the final two hours... though people rarely did, haha.
