  • Daily Deals have been added to the Offers menu, replacing the Bundles section.
    • Bundles will continue to be available in the Weekly Event Tab in the Shop. (They haven’t been removed).
  • Daily Deals will contain 3 different offers that players will receive:
    • Player Level Offers: These offers contain different items based on a player’s level. Players at various stages of the game tend to focus on getting different rewards, so these offers have been set up to help them.
    • Kingdom Offers: These offers are designed to assist players with working towards completing their Kingdom Power Tasks.
    • VIP Offers: These offers are available for players who are VIP 6 or higher. They may either offer rarer rewards (such as Orbs) or other things at a discount.
  • These offers can be purchased using Gems. Each offer will have its own Gem cost.
  • Offers will only be able to be purchased once per day.
  • The offers will be available for up to 24hrs, and will change with the daily reset. So if a player doesn’t see anything they want one day, they may find something on the next day.
  • The offer button on the world map will get a notification (similar to the mail icon) to let them know when there are new daily deals available.
  • If a player doesn’t have any eligible Kingdom Power Tasks, the daily deals will select another Player Level Offer instead of a Kingdom Offer, so players will always have 3 offers.

  • Rewarded Ads are a mobile-only feature – restrictions on other platforms mean they cannot be shown there.
    • We encourage PC players to link their accounts to their mobile devices if they want to take advantage of Rewarded Ads.
  • Players will have the option to watch a 30 second video ad to earn a small reward.
  • Watching an ad will be entirely optional and can be accessed from the world map. Rewarded Ads will not interrupt the flow of gameplay; players may choose to go into the menu to watch an Ad at their leisure.
  • Players will only be able to watch one ad every 8 hrs, and there will be a notification icon to let players know when they are able to watch the next ad.
  • The rewards that players can earn will change based on their level, so higher level players will see different rewards than players who are just starting out.
  • Each reward has a different chance to occur, so some rewards will be rarer than others (such as Keys or Gems).

  • The Shop Tab Menu has been updated to display the total amount of rewards earned from a subscription, as well as a timer displaying the remaining time for an active subscription.
    • If a player has no subscription active, then they won’t see the timer.
  • 15-Day subscriptions will now give 2 days worth of subscription rewards as a bonus when a player purchases the subscription.
    • Day 1 of rewards will be sent via the in-game mail to avoid confusion between the bonus rewards for purchase and the day 1 rewards.
  • Players will receive an in-game mail reminder 3 days before their subscription ends to inform them of the subscription expiring soon, and give them an option to renew their subscription.
  • If a player chooses to renew or re-purchase a subscription they already have active, they will receive any purchase rewards, and the subscriptions timer will be extended (so 15 Day Subscription will add 15 more days to the existing subscription).

  • The Path to Glory & Path to Power menus have been updated to include a timer so players can see how many days remain on their subscription.
  • Like 15-day subscriptions, players will now receive mail in-game informing them of a subscription about to expire, with the option to renew it.
  • Any additional purchases of a Path subscription will add time to the subscription. This means that once the player passes Day 30 rewards, the Path Subscription will restart back at Day 1 for the rewards.
  • The Legendary or Mythic Troops earned at the end of the subscription will now select a Legendary or Mythic Troop the player doesn’t own as the reward.
    • If a player owns all Legendary or Mythic Troops, then it will select a Troop of the specified Rarity at random.
  • Path to Glory I Subscriptions have increased the amount of Gold, Gems and Glory rewards that can be earned. They have also replaced the Treasure Map rewards with new Event Key rewards. All other rewards remain the same.
    • PLEASE NOTE: Players will earn a total of 10 Event Keys from a Path to Glory I instead of 16 Treasure Maps
  • Path to Glory II Subscriptions have doubled the amount of Traitstones rewarded each day.
  • Path to Power I Subscriptions have replaced Days 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 with new rewards. All other rewards remain the same.
    • Days 10, 20, 30 will now give 50 Gems
    • Days 5, 25 will now give 1 Chaos Orb
    • Day 15 will now give 1 Major Chaos Orb
  • Path to Power II Subscriptions have replaced Rare ingot rewards with Gem rewards. All other rewards remain the same.
    • PLEASE NOTE: Players will earn a total of 200 Gems from a Path to Power II instead of 120 Rare Ingots

Players who currently have one or more of the Path subscriptions active, will receive in-game mail containing the new rewards from any days that have been already collected for their subscription. This will happen only once when the player first runs the game on the 4.9 Update.
