💥 Company Updates 💥

Words from Wizards/Tuesday Release Update: InvestyGator

New Energy System

The energy collection rate system has been revamped to a simpler model. For a full article about this change, you can find it here. To summarize, accounts now have a limit of 50 energy, regain 1 energy per hour, and each ranked battle above Novice league costs 1 energy.

To make it clear, playing in Novice league no longer costs energy.

All former calculations for rewards will treat the energy collection rate as always being 100%.

You can purchase up to 50 additional energy per day at a rate determined by the highest league that you are currently earning rewards for, based upon the following chart.

Vruz Promo Card Sale

A new promotional card, Vruz, will be on sale for users that have at least 1,000 SPS staked. For more details, you can read the full article here.

This is a common rarity Dragon card, which will cost 1 Voucher each. Users may only buy 1 cards per 1,000 SPS that they had actively staked during the maintenance period when this was released.

Soulkeep Closed Beta

The closed beta for Soulkeep, our upcoming tower defense game, is now accessible from the main menu.

Users that have purchased 500 or more Nightmare packs should be able to access the initial testing levels. For more details, you can see this article about the beta release.

General Updates

Splinterlands Battle Bots will now respond to Practice queue requests, though they only have starter cards at this time.

Fixed an issue with Referrals not populating properly on the Tech Modernization Registration page.

Added a link to the Non-Card Market from the sold out Chaos Legion pack page.

Items Hotfixed into the Game Prior to the Release

Fixed an issue with purchasing SPS/DEC through Transak.

Ancient Redwood, the Riftwatchers airdrop card for 1 million packs having been sold has been released. It should also now be available to be found in packs.

Just in time for Chaos Legion to be sold out, the nightly automated addition of Mavericks to the newer sl-mavs QA server has been fixed.

The Secret of Praetoria Land Phase 1.5 Whitepaper

Praetoria consists of 150 distinct player-owned land regions which each consist of 1000 land plots. This leads to a total of 150,000 player-owned land plots in total.
