There have been a few requests to be able to cancel/pay to complete a mission, and I'll add your vote to that.

The whole point of missions is to occupy your unneeded Crusaders though, so aside from most of the event objectives that have the various Crusaders locked in, we don't plan on making the Crusaders sent on missions available to use in the formation.

Hi HexxarTek,

• Runes are intended to be a long term investment system. That said, over the year they've been out, we've increased the way to get them from just the weekly chest purchases to being included as season rewards and starting soon the level 7 random rune reward from Tier 7 events, so there may be more changes as the game continues.

• Level 25 is still the intended season completion mark, and any rewards past that are bonuses. As said on stream on Tuesday, when we make the point change, we'll probably remove the runes from the rewards past level 40, so players don't feel like they're missing out on not going for the most efficient point dungeon resets.

Good morning,

We have seen the post and we're discussing making a little tweak to the point rewards for higher areas.

I'll chat with the team about the possible slowdowns of the game/server. Did you notice a certain point when it started occurring, like a formation change? Or it just happened?

You can still complete the season which is level 25, and likely complete level 40 without too much effort, but as noted on stream on Tuesday, we'll be looking at changing the point distribution a little.

You'll need to have completed the Bullet Hell objective to complete the Crusader recruit mission, and to complete the entire tier, you'll need to have completed Washed Up as well as maxed out Arithmagician.

Hi Kimedis,

It's not technically a mistake, because it is the base amount of Idols the dungeon with the idol bonus awards without any of the additional idol buffs on offer, but I'll chat with Wilson about what we can do on the rewards display.

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 259!

If you've made 2 Level 10 runes, then you've already spent all the runes and catalysts to have those level 10 runes in your inventory, to only spend the 1 catalyst to merge them to a level 11.

But yes, going from scratch of just level 1 runes in your inventory, and not accounting for any other rune rewards, you would need 1023 catalysts to make a level 15 rune.

Thank you for all the submissions! Congratulations!

You can now redeem SPAA-CEKN-IFEC-ELLO for a 7 day long 400% DPS buff. Code expires Friday, October 15th at Noon Pacific Time (UTC-7.)

Hi Everyone!

Ceph, Ariadne, The Void and Micro Phantom feature in the Taskmasters 3 colouring sheet, now available on our website.

Or, if you're feeling creative, you can submit your Crusaders fanart!

If we get 50 coloured sheets shared at us on our Twitter with the hash tags #lostidolscolouring and #squidvoid or shared here on reddit by Friday, October 8th, 2021 at 12pm Pacific Time (UTC-7), then we'll release a code for a 7 day long 200% Spawn Speed buff redeemable by ...

Thank you for the feedback on the point drops for season 5.

The levels past level 25 are just how we can implement the "repeating rewards" effect that other games have for seasons. Level 40 is still the main goal for bonus levels, since after that is when the rewards go to all materials with a sprinkling of runes. We just added up to 100 levels to see how far players decide to go.

I'll discuss with the team about the points from objectives though.

Hi suoxons,

You're welcome for the chest.

The 11am stream slot seems to be the winner, so we'll be moving the stream to then.

Cheers!

Yes, Carnival of Sorrows Tier 7 is coming around Oct 14th, 2021.

No talents planned for dungeon points at the moment, but I'll add your vote to the request.

No plans on increasing the idol percentage right now.

You're welcome for the code.

Noted on the new stream time. Thank you for the feedback.

Were you watching the game when you were going after the achievements or was it idling and you just came back and checked on the achievements? I believe the achievement pop-ups time out after a while.

Hi Kite-sama,

It's come up before, especially after we introduced the Omniclick talent. I'll add your vote to the item on the suggestion list and we'll see what happens.

Cheers!

There isn't a cooldown timer on rune costs.

Creating a level 6 or higher rune just costs 1 catalyst.

If you need to make more runes in order to have a level 10 to merge with another level 10 for example, to slot a level 11 rune in a slot on a Crusader, then depending on your current rune inventory, the catalyst cost displayed on the quick merge dialog will vary.

Hi GemPro,

Congratulations on completing the objectives in the break. I know some players were worried it wouldn't be long enough to do that.

The Carnival of Sorrows returns around October 14th, 2021.

Cheers!

Hi appyleaguefan,

You're welcome for the chest. :D

I'll pass along the thanks to the team, and the vote for the stream time.

The Carnival of Sorrows returns around October 14th, 2021.

Cheers!

Hi Bazzturd,

Zuczek is very impressive, yes.

No, we didn't put in any tracking for how Zuczek gets their stacks. But for every player to build up that ability, it's probably a lot of them getting used finally. :D
