Anniversary Event's New Rival System *** updated with Inno's response at the bottom

We at FoE addicts are giving the middle finger to the new blatant pay-to-win (PTW) rivals system. Starting on day three of this event there has been a new rival questline. We have gone from two or three rivals per event to now a daily system. All of them had six quests to reach two milestone rewards and then two additional quests for additional prizes. In order to get the full upgrade of the eternal market that means doing all the rivals to at least quest six for this event. To let you all in behind the scenes a bit we have three people that regularly contribute to this site and a fourth that helps maintain the site when there are technical issues. All of us play the game and we range from casual to hard core so that brings-in some different perspectives. None of us want to continue doing the rivals everyday so we will stop posting the daily rival quests. For live event we will make one big post containing the information we have here from the ...

GE Trials starting on live server March 4, 2025 Short version

This information is from Beta server and the system has already had one major overhaul. To see what it looked like click here . Then how it changed here and now we have what's on live server. The entire system has been rebalanced to become a lot easier. The rewards seem unfinished. For example a few of us have gotten trash prizes after the 79th encounter. Nothing like winning four more attempts when you only have one more encounter to finish. It just seems like this isn't well thought-out and I expect a lot to change in the weeks to come. I'll get to the things people want to know first and feel free to read further if you wish. The diamond rewards have been nerfed to about 2/3rds of what it used to be. The gold upgrades to the buildings below may take 40-50 weeks and by that time with power creep it may no longer be good. The harder the trial a player picks the better the reward they get with one huge caveat. We've been keepi...

Anniversary Event 2025

Embargo until Feb 16, 2025 For the 13th Anniversary the merge mechanic is back. We'll go over the broad strokes as this is a well-known mechanic at this point. Gems: The board is filled with gems locked behind glass and a free gem that can be moved. You can match the free gem with a locked gem of the same color and level. You can create more free gems by using the spawner button. It takes event currency "energy" to spawn a moveable gem. Once you match a gem it breaks the glass and levels up. (You can also match free gems to level up and free higher level gems behind glass.) Unlocking gems advance the prize bar. Locked gems have a key part. There are only two variables. If you match gems with complementary key parts (color, level and type all match) it creates a full key. Feed the keys into the converter. The higher level gems provide more keys. Keys are then used to unlock treasure chests. Keys can also be obtained ...

Guild Expedition Trials is finally here. It starts on Beta Server on Jan 28, 2025

If you've been reading this site over the last two years or Crash Cart's old blog before we took it over we've been talking about GE changes for years and it's finally here. Well the first part is anyways there's more to come. To make it easy what used to be known as levels will now be called trials. Expect to see trials/levels mixed interchangeably for a while as we get used to it. The first thing you do as a player is select your difficulty level. Easier, same as we have now or harder. The harder it is the better prizes. Once you select the difficulty level then you cannot change it until the next GE. Are we really going to call this GET? So once you lock-in that week you can't change. That may mean you select the easy one when a rival quest is on especially if there are a lot of negotiations. The first three levels/trials will be unlocked for all players and have to be completed before opening further levels. Ri...

Viking Event on Beta

History Event is now the Viking Event Wheel of fortune mechanic with axes instead of knives. You and your neighbors compete for the good prizes on the board. Earn Viking coin through quests, incidents, daily challenges and event pass. Use coins to spin the wheel. Throw axes and purchase rune chests. You can throw multiple axes. Every time you throw an axe you get 10 points and 5 runes (formerly energy tokens). Once all three energy bars runes are filled you can collect a reward. You again have the ability to rebalance. The rune you have the most of will swap with the rune you have the least of. The cost for swaps increase with every rebalance. It resets at midnight daily. There are two paths to getting prizes. Gain grand prize progress by throwing axes plus bonus 5 points for collecting runes from a single slot. There are three powerful runes with a limited rune storage. Once the storage is full you can no longer get additional...

Sortable spreadsheet with all buildings in FoE as of March 15, 2025 Includes Beta and the new QI buildings from the 2cnd championship

For the spreadsheet click here Update from previous to add the new QI reward buildings. This spreadsheet is accurate as of March 15, 2025 and includes buildings that are only on Beta server right now. If these buildings change when they're introduced on live server then we'll update again.

Diamonds in the new GE Trials per level this will be a WIP as the sample size is very small.

The following information will be updated as we get more information. We have asked players in our guilds to report diamonds received, what encounter they received it and what Trial difficulty they were on. Inno please fix giving 4 attempts at encounter 79. Crazy idea but maybe pay diamonds instead? Trial 1: encounter 55 and 63 total of 90 diamonds Trial 2: Trial 3: Trial 4: Trial 5: encounter not recorded, 53 diamonds Trial 6: encounters not recorded, 95 total diamonds Trial 7: encounter 63, 54 diamonds Trial 8: encounter number not recorded, 54 diamonds Trial 9: Trial 10: Trial 11: encounter 63, 52 diamonds Trial 12: Trial 13: encounter not recorded, 51 diamonds Trial 14: encounter number not recorded (thinks it's 63) 51 diamonds Trial 15: encounter 63, 51 diamonds UPDATE: Ok so here is the response from Inno regarding diamonds in the new GE Trials. Every difficulty level can produce between 51-90 diamonds. The trial difficulties that give diamonds are n...

Second Quantum Incursion Championship starts on Beta March 13 to May 4, 2025

*Embargo until March 10, 2025 The map is a little different on all 12 maps in that they have 3 additional blue fight nodes and 3 additional red fight nodes that can be avoided. I believe everyone knows by now to go straight to garrisons then go to strongholds then go to the bosses. The guilds that can open up the bonus nodes fast allow more people to use their quantum actions. So unless these 6 additional fight nodes offer better prizes than the bonus nodes they are largely irrelevant with one exception. The unorganized guilds will get bogged down on all the nodes and may never get to the bonus nodes. You still see it now in unorganized guilds that take-out the strongholds first. Are old rewards still available? Mostly yes. The old QI summer 2024 epic selection kit will be replaced with the QI spring 2025 epic selection kit which will include neo checkmate square and Neo aviary along with all the previous rewards. (We haven't s...
