—UPDATED: Fernhollow 🗺️
Sorcerers have been hard at work to make some renovations to Fernhollow.
The Blight in Fernhollow evolves and becomes more mysterious. Within it hides new Wonders and Ruins to uncover, but to reach them, it will require more than simply strength…
- Clearing the Blight in Fernhollow and expanding your territory no longer relies solely on Wave completion.
- Unlocking additional land in Fernhollow now depends on the completion of a combination of combat (reach a certain Wave number and/or defeat the territory Boss) and/or non-combat (merge a certain number of a specific Tower type, have a certain number of Houses, etc.) requirements before new territory can be unlocked.
- Corrupted tiles are no longer present in the main Fernhollow base
- Mana and Blight merging is no longer available in the main Fernhollow base
- Corrupted tiles can still be merged onto or cleared with Mana in Seasonal Events and Campaigns
- Mana and Blight merging is no longer available in the main Fernhollow base
❓*”If I’m an existing player, will I see any changes to my base?”*
Short answer: Yes! If you have been a Lightkeeper since version 1.7 or earlier, your base will be upgraded to the new version and new Wonders and Ruins will appear. The progress you have already made will be converted to the upgraded Fernhollow base.
❓ “How will the conversion work?”
For existing players:
- The territory requirements of areas that have already been explored will automatically be marked as complete ✅
- Unlocked Territories will also unlock any corresponding Wonders in that space, placing any objects in those tiles into bubbles, so make sure you check those pesky bubbles 🫧
- Any grid elements that are obsolete will automatically be converted to currency
