This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on Judgment of Dunes being TESTED in beta.
Don’t get too attached
Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.
It’s incredibly common that features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.
So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.
Judgment of Dunes
In its simplest explanation, Judgment of Dunes is essentially a like Valhalla Forever but for the season 5 map (Dunes).
During Judgment of Dunes, all World Energy Costs on the Season 5 map are reduced by 3.
Adds a new “special” / unique mob called a Dune Scarab.
Like in Valhalla Forever:
- the loot is NOT increased
- there is a limit to how many Dunes Scarabs you can farm per day.
New feature in Dunes:
- Monster Lure is added see the details later to improve your Rare enemy farming ability.
Dune Scarab
Like the Midgard Gnomes, these mobs only appear during the Judgment of Dunes event.
They are NOT shielded like the Bats in Tremours of Underwild.
When they appear, they can drop Dunes coins, Emblems, Crafting materials or Resource Bundles.
As above, there is a limit to how many Scarabs can be farmed per day.
- Limited to 15* per day (compared to 20 in Valhalla Forever). This limit accumulates (so even if you only start on day 4, you can still farm 60* in that one day).
- Can farm up to 60* in total during the event
- There is a counter which shows how many you’ve farmed so far, and how much is can you find in total.
- There is a countdown shows that how much time left until More Rare Enemies can be found.
- You can also see an indication of is Monster Lure active or not.
* = These numbers can be increased with buying Monster Lure.
Extra Dunes coins are also guaranteed if Monster Lure is active above the Scarab’s normal loot.
Dunes Monster Lure
So using this Monster Lure you can farm 25 Dune Scarabs a day, and 100 in total.
This Monster Lure can be bought from the daily offers.
In Beta an extra offer category is added to Dunes offers (on day 1), where you can buy Monster Lure along with 120 loot tickets and 1 WE Flask. The price is unknown, and maybe these will be changed.
The other offers for day1 are not visible, and the next 3 day offers will also not be visible in Beta.
Energy
As above, all stages energy is reduced by 3 (from normal) during the event.
Duration
Like current Dunes event, the event lasts 4 days.
Summons Portal
There is a no change how the Dunes Portal operated.
There are still 3 featured heroes
There was no change in the odds in Beta V62
Updates:
31 October 2023
Added to beta V62 for initial testing.
