Welcome Crusaders!
Before we begin: I hope you're all staying safe and being kind.
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 I will do my best to answer your Crusaders questions. This Q&A is so you know where to find one of the team to chat Crusaders weekly.
I will be answering questions live for the first hour and then checking back throughout the week.
The previous Q&A: Number 267!
Not sure if I should ask this now or leave for next week’s QA…
The last two epic recipes I’ve gotten (Pinterest and the Challenge Shop) have been for slots where I already had the epic gear; that hadn’t happened to me before, so I’d assumed there was duplicate protection built into the recipe system. Has that protection changed, or was this a glitch?
To be clear, it’s totally your/the team’s prerogative if you’ve changed the assignment system; I just don’t know if it happened in error or not, since it’s different from how things have gone in the past. Thanks!
Well, recipes aren't gear. They are just a method for getting gear if you have the crafting materials to hand.
There is weighting to try and give you a recipe for a piece of gear you don't already own as a priority over the ones that you do own.
But you do have to get a recipe for every piece of gear in the game, so once you start getting closer to owning all the recipes, you're more likely to see the recipes for items you've already earned from opening chests or completing the gear upgrade missions.
I followed the link and contributed on Nov. !8 but my paypal receipt identifies the donation as going to "Childs Play Charity" so perhaps my contribution went elsewhere.I am not going to fret too much about it. Hopefully it helps the charity,my gaming will be just fine.Thanks for your attention.
Child's Play is the correct charity. Desert Bus just ask donators to go through their website, so that they can work their dev magic for all the giveaways and tax receipts for the donations.
If you forward the receipt to [email protected], we can get you a code for your donation level.

This dungeon season has been a bit of a roller coaster. Nice to see that the basic structure of the season has finally stabilized in recent weeks.
With everything said and done it is a shame that the roller coaster of changes and rework has enabled some players to massively increase their rune counts beyond what was designed to be possible by now since the release of runes. I recognize that this is a single player game with no leader boards and so on, but it still sucks that this happened and certain players gained an unfair advantage over others in the same position. There will always be exploits and exploiters, but this one in particular could have easily been prevented.
With that in mind I would like to explicitly request for something to be added to 'the list'. It comes up frequently, but I suppose there is no tracking of it since it is not some form of a feature/change request. If I am assuming incorrectly, then please add my vote to the ex...
Hi Kittymug,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'll bring it up with the higher ups and we'll see what happens.
I'd love for an update to Under Fire or Achieve Flight.
Thanks for the vote! :)
When the balloon for missions ready to complete shows up, the missions do not complete in the order that they show in the stack. This is sometimes important if I wish a crusader to stay on a mission, for whatever reason. What is the rationale behind how they present to be finished? Why don't they just finish in the order they are shown? (I hope I am making sense here.)
I do understand what you're saying about the Complete Now button versus the mission list itself. It's probably just using different methods of how it sorts the missions. I'll add it to our list of QoL items to tackle when we have a moment.
why did you make the decision to introduce new missions only to gate them behind T5 11th objectives?
it very much feels like you're trying to make a "reward" out of content that would normally be made available to everyone and it's really disappointing.
Thank you for the feedback.
well thank you for adding new 11th objective T5...
You're welcome. I'll pass it along to the team.
Hey Erika.
Is there going to be chest drop for Matt Spacewalker gear like they did for Torakichi last season?
Hi FrequentWay,
Matt Spacewalker does have chests available for purchase in the Dungeon Depot, and there are some on the reward track for season 5, and once you've unlocked him, you can also get his recipes from dungeon crusader recipe items.
Though if he and Tora are both missing recipes, those recipe items will randomly award a recipe for either Tora or Matt, until you own all the applicable recipes.
Hey Erika!
Sorry for joining in late. My season 6 map change vote goes to PiOS.
Hi Daurakin,
Thank you for stopping by and the vote for PiOS!
I contributed to desert bus and did not receive a code.Lost cause?
Did you contribute to Desert Bus between Nov 5th and Nov 19th, while the donations for the Crusaders were live on the Crusaders page itself?
They would have emailed the code for the donation level to the email address associated with your paypal account.
Hi,
Thanks for the codes.
I know we have just got the 11th objectives but could we have another way to boost our idols, either with a mission that increases idol drop rate for a set time or the ability to run more than one idol mission at once? Or a permanent idol buff like we got a permanent gold and dps from completing the 11th objectives?
I know this might have to wait for tier 6 but I just thought I would ask.
Hi OwnedByACrazyCat,
The dungeons are a pretty good source of idols, but we'll probably do some other buffs to idols either through future talents or objective rewards.
Cheers!
Thank you for all the lovely entries this week!
We'll be back with the next colouring sheet soon!
Hi Erika At the beginning of the season you mentioned you'd look into getting the new dungeon achievements (difficulty 2-4 area 20k etc) changed to season agnostic. Is there a verdict on this? IIRC you said this was the intention to begin with but Wilson went a bit rogue.
No dungeon objective request for me.
If i remember correctly you said this round of 11ths was at least partially aimed at giving the pre dungeon crowd a boost. IMO this was achieved.
Hi ryan,
Still something I would like to do to get them stand-alone and not depend on season 5.
Looking forward to try t5 11ths! This kind of challenges are what makes this game great
Enjoy! :)
My vote is to once again tweak Fun and Games. This formation still seems to have a steep curve of difficulty compared to others.
Also, would you consider adding and idol buff you can purchase with rubies? Thank you.
Request for a Fun and Games update, noted.
I'll add your vote to the item about a ruby idols on the suggestion list, and we'll see what happens.
What player level will the new T5 11ths be aimed at? Will people able to complete them benefit from them?
Also, my vote for maps to change goes to either Making Waves or Dungeon Crawl.
The Tier 5 11ths aren't gated on clearing Evil Scheme, so they should help the players who get to them.
Thanks for the formation change suggestions.
Hi Erika,
I vote Playing It Old School gets an extra spot.
Thanks and hope you have a wonderful holiday season!!
Hi LC125,
Thanks for the vote, noted!
Have a good holiday season yourself. :)
