Hi Erika,
Thanks as always for the code! I'm really excited for Carnival of Sorrows and the new Tier 6 crusaders. Tier 5 had some amazing crusaders, looking forward to playing around with the Tier 6 gang.
Hi Croq360,
You're welcome for the code. We're excited to let the Tier 6 gang have some fun!
I was wondering would we see in futur a crusader with a new ability (like stormrider or firestorm) ? I was thinking maybe one that upgrade the chance of quest item
We aren't currently planning on adding another Crusader with an active ability, but it has come up in the past. I'll add another vote for the possibility.
Hey Erika, thanks for the code. I'll have to check out the book, I loved the Eragon series and was not aware Christopher Paolini had written sci-fi. I have one question this week. When Dungeons re-open are they going to be the same general format? 15 runs a week, resetting Thursdays? or is that changing too? It was nice to be able to have the challenge at the end of the dungeon week so we could decide if we wanted to spend a lot of time on the challenge or not depending on how many dungeon runs we had left.
Hi Sylexy,
Yeah, the book only dropped on the 15th of September, but a couple of the BookTubers I watch had interviews with him and reviewed prerelease copies, which is how it hit my radar.
I'm really curious what the next book in the Fractalverse will cover, since I had some unanswered questions.
There will be some tweaks to the Dungeons. I was thinking of moving the dungeon reset day away from Thursdays, and try out a Tuesday or Wednesday reset day. And lowering the runs per week, so it's not as crazy to try and get them all done.
Hey Erika,
I've been playing LostIdols through Firefox and with the newest update, i can no longer access the game. The game loads, but the opening screen is so zoomed in that I can't see/reach the 'start' button so I'm just stuck at the landing page. I'd like to transfer my account to steam, but since I can't access my old game, I cannot even reach the 'link account' option to copy it. Is there a fix for this?
Hi IBCitizen,
Is this Firefox on a Mac or a PC?
We did note that Crusaders will load properly in Chrome on a MacBook, confirmed this morning.
Otherwise, you can put in a ticket and I can get you a link code.
Hi Eriak,
Thanks for the codes.
Without giving away what they are for please can you let us have a reasonable figure for the number of rubies and JCs we should keep back.
Hi billyjoe99,
You're welcome for the code.
The Jeweled chests are for Legendary catalysts, so if you've got a stash of those, you're good there.
A few thousand or so rubies on hand would be a good number.
Hi Erika!
Quick trivia: Ready Player Two (the book) is coming out in November. Will you change the campaign's name to Ready Player Three? ;)
Also, thank you for the break between the dungeons. The last few weeks were quite hectic to get Li'l Reaper and all the 10k achievements, but I managed to do it just in time. I literally got the Sunday Stroll 10k on my last run, after the Crypt was finished! The sprint runs since then are quite stressless and even relaxing so again, much obliged for that. Even if my idols grow only thanks to missions, I don't mind it at all.
That said, when is the Clocktower getting here already? ;)
Hi rjakubec,
Good question. I'll run it by the team.
I'm glad you're enjoying the break period. :)
The Clocktower, aka Season 2, will arrive precisely when it means to.
Thank you.
You're welcome. :)
Hey Erika, first thanks for the weekend buff, really got me further in game, wish it lasted longer!
- If someone had 50.000 rubies would you say they are under prepared, or over prepared for the new upcoming new feature?
- And if someone had 500.000 Jeweled Chests, would you say they are under or over prepared for the new feature?
- Would it be bad to assume to season 2 of dungeons will be sometime after Carnival of Sorrows ends, but before Emos New Moon Begins? Asking for a friend
Hi N00byDoobyDoo,
That's awesome, glad you like the weekend buff.
1 & 2) Very overprepared. :)
3) I can't give an ETA on the update, sorry.
will the desert bus sader will have ep and if yes how much?
The Desert Bus Crusaders don't come with EP.
Good morning!
Before we begin today, I hope you are safe wherever you are, and that you are in a position to take care of yourselves during this time of change.
I read To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Paolini this weekend. It was an interesting foray into sci-fi. Inspired me to pick up with the Murderbot series and get back to the books the Expanse was based on.
For those of you who are joining us for the first time, I'm Erika, the Live Services Manager for Crusaders of the Lost Idols and Community Manager for Codename Entertainment, and I will ...

Is it possible for you to give us an "it's going to be at least this long" kind of idea? e.g., is this a "Yeah, there's zero chance that this is going to be released in the next (week/two weeks), and who knows how much longer it'll take than that" type of thing?
2. Dungeon pass: I'd suggest the best direction for this would be as a way for casual players or people who started late to catch up in a Dungeon season.
So, for example:
A pool of extra Dungeon runs (say, 60), which don't refresh but get dipped into if you run out of weekly runs. That's not going to matter for most players, since most players are going to have a tough time doing all 15, but it's a way for spenders who start mid-season to try to catch up.
Consumable which lets you reroll which objectives get which bonuses
- ...
Hi AllShallBeWell,
1) Well, the event launch is next week, so I feel confident in saying that season two won't be dropping next week.
2) We'll keep the idea of ways for players to catch up on season progress.
3) It is on the to-do list to look at the bonus rotation over the Dungeons. We'll keep the request in mind.
where is this weeks coloring sheet? :/
No new sheet this week, but I've started an activity to collect new submissions of older sheets.
Hail Crusaders!
Due to a number of factors this week, there isn't a new colouring sheet to feature.
However, we are still having the activity available, to get you towards the next buff! You can choose any of the old colouring sheets, and submit a new coloured-in version of it, to try and hit the goal! Or get closer to it for next week!
If we get 50 coloured sheets shared at us on our Twitter or ...

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Thanks for the game.
It will be a Crusader based on Ian. We're sketching up some ideas based on their suggestions for what he's done with Desert Bus in the past. :)
Isn't that a bit steep, considering the current Tier 7 talents have starting costs ranging from half a billion to 200 billion? I finally have almost 3 trillion idols, and I'm still struggling to finish the Tier 6 talents. Or are we skipping straight to Tier 9 for the new ones? :D
We're leaning into the idol amounts the Dungeons can give.
Read moreFor the gears in chest, literally add in every common and jeweled chest one slot with automatically a gear. That way, we will get more materials and/or complete the gear's collection. So a talent or 11th objective that add in the chests a gear, so 4 slots in normal and 6 in jeweled chests.
Yes, the challenge tokens are mostly reserved for golden gears and, at the time, I only got enough legendary catalysts for a few craft each week. So my best option was rubies. Now, I will spend the catalysts as I have a good amount of them. By the way, when will the GE for Ana Guinness ( the one for chest drop) will be avaible in that shop ?
I am a pretty casual player compared to some others and still didn't reach e15 idols so ... except by having a good speedster or two until the end, a run in the dungeon can take longer than expected. Even when using speed cards ! And as some as talked about on Steam forums, Drosenthes is badly compatible with Tiernan in end runs so if you are ...
Thank you for clarifying the gear in chest comment.
Interesting to know about using the Rubies.
Ana's Clover item is available in the Challenge token store Golden Epic rotation, so it should show up eventually.
So you'd like a healer/support Crusader that's smoother than Drosenthes? We already have a bunch of healer Crusaders, but we can think about adding another one in the future.
Hi Erika!
I had a couple questions while reading through the other posts.
1) Can you give us a ballpark on how many rubies will be useful for the new feature? Are we talking thousands, or tens of thousands, or what?
2) To help bridge the gap between dungeon seasons, is there a way to just turn off the point accumulation, since it's too late to gain more dungeon levels? Then people could at least continue to play with the new formations while waiting for the new season to begin.
Hi Allen,
1) Thousands will be enough.
2) We won't be turning the dungeons back on until the next season starts.
Will there be any differences in Codename Games launcher and the Steam version of Crusaders?
No, they'll be the same. The only difference would be either using the Codename login or the Steam login.
Hello there !
I always miss the live hour (crying in sadness) but always there for reading or my questions/ideas.
How about the next few 11th objectives ? Is there plans already or is it open to suggestions ? As we need always more idols (and I don't even speak of the 'no max level' ones), why not adding some limit breaks or, even better, one to make them uncapped ? And another one to add a gear in chests (or talent like) ? And one to have more JC drop ? And ... no just joking :P
For your question on the dungeon pass, I may be better but still doubt I have the time to reach a good level for it ... maybe for season 3, who knows.
No teasing for the next crusader yet ?
And lastly, about the rubies ... Are there plans to have them more easily too ? Since the last skin in the skin shop, I did not used them and still thinks it is building up stoo slow.
Hi Dragon97240,
Yup, questions outside the hour are why I check back on the thread throughout the week.
More 11th objectives are on the horizon. I'll add your votes to the cap increase and uncapped free plays as potential rewards.
The gear in chests, so like there would now be 6 cards in Jeweled chests? Or it would just guarantee better gear? Or is this a new piece of gear entirely?
Enough Jeweled chests drop already between Ana and the Jeweler Talent, so we don't plan on changing things there.
We'll be making a few tweaks to the season 2, so you might be able to progress on it.
Tier 6 Carnival Crusader is going to be an Animal one. :)
Oh neat, you were using rubies for skins over challenge tokens or legendary catalysts? Yeah, we're thinking of some additional sources for rubies.
Cheers!
Hi again,
Thank you for the information! I have another question. For the Desert Bus donation how does that work in the sense of getting the crusader? I haven't had a chance to donate before so I don't know how the process works.
Desert Bus sets up 4 levels of donations: Common, Uncommon, Rare and Epic.
All the levels unlock the Crusaders. Then the specific level you donate for determines what gear the Crusaders will have.
The donation process is the only way to get the Crusaders gear, but if you donate for the Epic level, the Desert Bus crew do have Legendary effects.
Edit: Desert Bus will email you a code to redeem in the normal code redemption system in the game, when you've made your donation during the time they're doing their livestream campaign.
