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 253!
i posted my coffin shop on the other post a little late :/ thought it should go there but didnt want it to get missed and wasnt sure where i should actually post it
It will get counted. :D
Howdy Crusaders!
While Kat's off on vacation, we thought you might enjoy colouring in Bush Whacker 2's colouring sheet for Nate Dragon. Here's the pdf or the jpg.
Or, if you're feeling creative, you can submit your Crusaders fanart!
If we get 50 coloured sheets shared at us...

I was playing Glitch Out Tier 5, and it... glitched out. Screen just went black around area 130. I closed the window and tried to restart, and it got stuck on "Loading Graphics..." Closed, reopened, same deal. Did that three times, it finally loaded and got me back to area 1 (but all my crusaders were leveled up). Again, got to about area 100, went black again. Went through the same restart ordeal, but switched to another objective.
The Glitch Out objective is now fixed. Thank you for the reports.
I wish I could claim credit for this, but alas, I cannot! My 10 yr old daughter is the artist that did the work. And she wants me to be sure to point out the little bits of green mold on the wrappings as well as the rust on the keys. :)
That's so cool! I like the extra flavour on the bandages and the keys. :)
Since there was no stream this week, have a treat!

Read moreIs there a possibility to get guilds or some sort of group forming in the game? I think this could benefit the community feeling even more as rn there are a chat community and a discord one, but it's not often joined I believe. Maybe this would help strenghten a sense op accomplishment together and more people would have a reason to stay longer (if that is even necessary). Still would like to see such a thing.
It could be a typical boss to fight as a group and then get % of your idols, some plain old stat boost for certain things or some unique objectives that you can get skins in etc.
Made_In_The_80s#6625 also suggested a competition to engage the players more if they want. They imagined a tracking of the idols your group earned in a month and then the top groups get rewards (this could be done with %) This may mainly be for higher lvl players tho unless you seperate it into leagues for certain Idol ranges maybe.
Maybe an objective with harsher scaling wou...
The Turtle Empire would be the guild name?
We don't really plan on adding multiplayer elements to Crusaders aside from the event areas cleared goal at this time, though it might be fun to brainstorm what systems would be possible one day. I'll note it was requested.
Cheers!
Hi Erika, thanks for the chests :)
Would it be possible to add QoL feature to the chat?
Sort the user alphabetically
Add a "friendlist". For example, have all you friend at the top of the list
Add timestamp next to people chatting
HI Nerdz,
You're welcome for the chests.
I'm not sure if those features are possible, but I'll add them to our chat update list to look into.
Cheers!
Thanks for the chests, Erica.
What are your favorite formations or missions? Which ones do you feel you guys really nailed? Or conversely, are there any that you wish you could do over? If so, what tweaks would you make?
You're welcome for the chests.
Oh boy, off the top of my head, I'll go with Mme. Finklebottom's formation, and I'm still impressed that we go the oxygen mechanic on the Everest objective to work.
While I did like the concept of the original style of Get Me Out of Here, it did end up being very computer dependent to complete the objective within the time limit, so I'm glad we ended up reworking it to not be timed anymore.
Any word on my buffing 1st/2nd tier crusaders suggestion? It obviously doesn't need to be as complex as the draft I put in; but too simple while buffing enough to be usable at endgame would look, very strange. (Yes, this buffs farthest away crusaders by 2.0e20%, directly).
It's an idea for dealing with the old Crusaders that we'll keep in mind if we do decide to implement a system for powering them up. Thank you again for sharing.
Read moreI do have a good question regarding rune merging. As of right now, there is no way to break down runes if you make a high rune. Since runes are one way, a lot of people do tend to want to not put all of their runes into one huge rune but have a vast majority of them at a certain level, like level 4, 5 or 6 for example. With how the rune merging system is, it is geared to make high runes unless you want to waste resources opening slots, merging in slot and then using solvents to take them out of the slot if you want to have them at some lower rank. Since the introduction of rune merging, quite a few people have voiced that they thought rune merging would just let them combine the runes in their inventory faster and be able to take for example all their level 2 runes and turn them into level 3 runes with some sort of merge option, not just make a slotted rune bigger.
What I do want to ask is can some option to merging runes in your inventory faster be implemented? As of rig...
No further changes planned to rune merging at this time, but we are aware of your request, and we'll try to slot it in for a future QoL update.
Read moreHello Erika,
Thank you so much for the season extension. I'd like to know with regards to challenges when can we expect some changes to occur there specifically for the tier one only challenge since it's a possibility for this week.
Another question is when can we expect new talents. I feel like with the season extension talents are going to need to be more of a priority given how many idols were gaining per season.
Is it possible for one of the 11th objectives to perhaps add one more get per week to the challenge shop since we now have one week where we have 2 GE's and one where we have one ge. I'd also love to see perhaps an 11th objective that could give us GE's for the challenge shop since if we have the passes for each season there's not much worth it to spend our dungeon tokens on.
For the pass for next season can we expect to have rewards to the end of the track on the paid pass version?
Just a personal question here but when will ...
Hi Travkeymaybe,
You're welcome for the season extension.
No ETA on any challenge changes, but I'm hoping to squeeze it in this year.
No ETA on talents, but coming soon.
We aren't currently planning on adding any more GE options to the challenge or dungeon store, but we'll keep the request in mind.
I'm planning on the recruit/gear mission addition after all the Tier 6 events are out, but we'll see if we do Qadir earlier.
There's been a couple of requests for more rewards on the paid track, so we'll discuss what makes sense.
The reward levels from 26 to 40 are supposed to be the extra points sink, so it sounds like I might need to play with point scaling for season 5.
More rune solvents and more fire runes, we'll keep it in mind. :)
My thoughts about dungeons. I spent about a month to complete 9 levels, since i had only 10 billion idols. Now i don't see, why should i waste my time on rather useless reward, like small idol buff, or few Torakichi recipes, or few tokens for jeweled chests. There are better rewards on higher lewels, but it could take me another month to get to them. So I think on every level of dungeons there should be some really special and useful rewards. Now I would rather concentrate on remaining main campaign objectives, there are better rewards at least and it would take less time.
Thank you for the feedback on the dungeon rewards from a lower idol count perspective. We'll keep it in mind when finalizing the rewards for season 5.
Here's what would make me very happy (upvote if you agree):
A countdown timer for cost reset on Legendary Catalysts so I know when I can upgrade more epics.
I'll add your vote to the item on the suggestion list. :)
Langley skin is BEAST, more please!
Nice! I'll pass it along to Kat. :)
ty for a great event ,will dungeons be extended by a week,also is there any plans to star selling the weel long dungeon points buff in the shop please?
Glad you enjoyed the Littlefoot's event. :)
The dungeon season is being extended by 3 weeks.
We don't plan on offering a dungeon points buff for tokens, but I'll note down it was requested.
Great news on the season extension! More idols FTW, though it is going to delay my doing the new T5 objectives and other non-dungeon stuff... Not that I'm too worried about it, will still have enough time to get everything done. Thanks!
You're welcome.
Yeah, there will still be a break between seasons, just not as long, so you should have time. :)
Extended season, why?
No.
You could rerun season 1 instead, to let those new people who haven't gotten the chance to get the achievements in that one a chance to get them, and/or the other previous ones
There isn't really a "rerun" of a season. Even though season 5 will have the flavour of The Crypts again, it will still be a new set of data.
The season completion achievements are only available for players who were playing at the time to achieve which is why they get hidden if you didn't earn them while the season was running.
