In just a moment, we'll be rolling an update to the brooch to make it a bit more user friendly and will let the progression of the benefits flow a little better.

The brooch can now be set to another benefit once a month outside of the Rings of Lumnis event. You can still change it as much as you'd like at the Rings of Lumnis event, but if you want to change it to something outside of the event, you will need to make your way to the DragonSpine Fane and seek the niche dedicated to Lumnis there. You will have an hour after you make the decision to change it if you want to change it back, but after that, there is a month cooldown.

The other update is the progression when you get more usage per day. It is now:
1x/day0
2x/day100
3x/day300
4x/day750
5x/day1500
6x/day2500
7x/day4500
8x/day7000
9x/day10000
10x/day12025


Enjoy the updates, we'll have some more updates to the event soon!

I was happy with the event before, just because I'm a sucker for puzzles and trivia, but I'm really happy to see all the adjustments and additions :)

Giving anyone more reason to visit the Fane, ever, is awesome, in my book. Love that place.

The Fane of the DragonSpine was one of the most amazing places I have discovered!

So those of us who bought in for 500 runs already because it was a good break point, now effectively are in no-man's land. We either ran it 200 more times than needed and got a tiny increase, or we are forced to run it 250 more times for a noticeable increase. While this is an improvement to the item, it really does mess with folks who already decided their buy in level and choose 500 based on expected returned per dollar spent, and aren't keen to spend more on the event to get to the next tier. If this had been the structure previously announced, I'm sure I'm not alone in saying I would not have bought in those additional 200 runs, that are now effectively devalued, since the desired benefits can be obtained far cheaper now.

Will this issue be addressed by allowing those folks to refund their 200 runs back into simucoin or cards, or through some other way? It doesn't seem fair that those who bought in early are penalized for doing so when the information regarding how the item works changes so drastically. 200 runs was not worth a small 102 exp per use (595 vs 697) increase over the 300 run break point that now offers 3 charges.

Yeah I specifically planned for the 500 runs. This update puts us in an area where this is very little gain from those 500 runs which is a bit upsetting... I really wish that you guys would get your act together when it comes to people spending cash. This is a constant thing in every event where things change to sucker people in to spend more money.

Shoot me an email so we can discuss options for you.
