Hello Adventurers,

Hello!

Hey folks, we’re still passing your feedback along to the team.
Someone mentioned that the Soulforge may not have been intended to be completely upgraded within this week and perhaps we could have communicated this better.
They are correct, this content is longer term content and we don’t expect most players to finish levelling up their Soulforge quickly. Gems of War has been around for 7 years and we want longer term content in the game so we have goals to work towards in the future while playing too.

But all of the content is available to everyone. This is also why we do things like have the scheduled 24 hour pet Rescues, so that adventurers who play more casually can still earn all the pets.

Hey hey!
I looked into this and it’s not a bug. Any event weapon released within the last 90 days will not appear in the Soulforge for a kingdom.

Regarding the Cursed Gnome, we’ve been passing the feedback you’ve all been posting onto the team.
The appearance rate was increased and in the data we can see that worked.
As this is a new Gnome, as always the team are monitoring the appearance data as well as the feedback about the new content and continuously review this information to decide whether tweaks to the balancing should be made.
