Greetings from the Helsinki puzzle forge, where Heroes are made!

And now for the grand announcement of the day! Our meticulous loot artisans have tirelessly toiled for many days and nights (nope, labor laws) to completely transform the level, quantity, and variety of rewards that players receive from randomized sources. For your regular efforts in core game modes, you will be rewarded with BETTER LOOT and LOTS MORE OF IT!
Without further ado, let’s unveil Part 1 of the Great Loot Renaissance:
Alliance Wars
- GUARANTEED Alpha and Legendary Aethers in EVERY Alliance War Chest you open with above 80% War Participation
- SIGNIFICANT loot improvements across the board for being successful in Alliance Wars
- Roughly x6 increase in Emblem rewards
- Roughly x3 increase in Epic Aether rewards
Wanted Mission Chests
- GUARANTEED Alpha Aethers from Elemental Wanted Chests
- 20 Master Emblems a month on average
- Previously it was almost impossible to get Master Emblems from a Wanted Chest
- Titan Wanted Chests now have a good chance of containing Epic/Legendary Aethers
- Previously the drop chance was 0
- Roughly x2 increase in Emblem rewards
- Roughly x5 increase in elemental Ascension Materials
- (Due to the massive increase in value for these chests, we’ll be increasing the cooldown and Gem Skip figures slightly)
Titan Loot
- INCREASED chance for Aethers, Emblems, and Master Emblems
- IMPROVED rewards at every level
You may have noticed we said “Part 1” and that’s because the work continues!
The changes unveiled today all affect random loot. The next batch to be uplifted will include fixed completion rewards, where you will know exactly what’s at stake when choosing to enter a battle. You can look forward to improved loot from Events and Quests, including rare quests, in a future release!
