Hey Adventurers!

We're thrilled to announce an update to our Guild Expedition —the Guild Expedition Trials!

Available with the next Guild Expedition starting on January 28th!
Choose Your Challenge!
Start every Guild Expedition by selecting a trial that matches your ambition. With Trials 1 to 3 already unlocked, you can decide to keep the current challenge, ease into it, or take it up a notch! Higher trials offer better rewards, but remember—you must complete the current trial to unlock the next.

Dynamic Battles!
Experience a mix of defensive and attacking armies across all maps.

Fortification Upgrades!
Build them on all maps and boost both attacking and defensive armies with the Eagle, Jaguar, and new Twin Serpent Temples.

New Rewards!
Discover new upgrades to existing rewards like the Silver and Gold Terrace Farm or the Tiny Fountain of Youth!

Join the Discussion! This is a significant update, so we're eager to hear your thoughts and questions. Head over to the feedback thread, where we'll be compiling FAQs and addressing your feedback. Full announcement on our Knowledge Base.

Ready to take on the challenge? See you in the Guild Expedition Trials!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are trials unlocked for the whole guild? - No, every player unlocks the trials individually. However unlocking the levels remains the same, so your guild still has to pay guild goods for that.
Does unlocking levels still require the same amount of goods? - No, this has also been adjusted. The amount for every player now scales with the highest unlocked trial by that player.
How many trials are there? - Currently there are 25 trials available. However you only start with trials 1-3 and unlock higher ones, once you complete the previous trial.
Is the Temple of Relics affected? - No, it still provides the same rewards with the same chances. It has not been changed.
Is the Forgotten Temple still available? - Yes it is!
Can you still win diamonds? - Yes, diamonds are still available. The amount depends on the trial you selected.
Why should I play higher trials? - Higher trials offer a greater difficulty. However in return you will also receive more and better rewards, the more difficult it is!
Will unlocked trials remain when you leave your guild? - (No answer yet)
Are Contribution Points and Guild Power changed? - Yes, in addition to the age scaling, higher trials will now also provide more Contribution Points. The same applies to Guild Power.
Are medals cost to buy attempts still the same? - Yes, they work exactly like before.
How many trials do I unlock, when I beat one? - You will always unlock the next 2 trials. This also means, that if you already unlocked trial 10, but only beat trial 9, you will still unlock trial 11. When you beat trial 10, you will unlock trials 11 and 12.

Dear Beta Testers, thank you very much for all your feedback and testing you have done for the new Guild Expedition Trials. We are now applying the following changes the the feature and would love to hear what you think. Don't forget to test the changes ingame as well!

:guild_expedition: There are now 30 trials available.
:attacking_all: The Army Boosts are no longer as harsh anymore, meaning higher trials are not as hard anymore and the scaling got adjusted.
:goods: Negotiation Costs and Options have also been reduced.
:forgepoints: Random rewards have been adjusted to be more streamline across trials.
:upgradeGoldShiny: You now need less boosts/goods to get to the new rewards.
:fragments: In the overview we now display the total amount of fragments, instead of the possible ones from an encounter.
:guild_expedition: Finishing a trial will now unlock the next 3 trials (instead of 2).

Those are all the changes for now. We also plan more changes already, like the introduction of a new window showing all possible rewards for a trial. Please tell us what you like or dislike about those changes in ⁠the feedback thread and do not forget to keep providing feedback on other aspects of the feature!
