Hey everyone, lemmingllama here! Today we’ll start to gaze into what’s to come with the 7.3.0 update. 7.3 will be very raid focused, and with some fairly large changes to raiding as a whole and the raid metagame. Let’s get into it!
To start, let’s talk about raiding complexity. Many new players have found it to be harder to engage with as it has a lot of additional mechanics that are different from the main game. As such, we are making some changes to help simplify raiding for these new players. Notably for the 7.3 update, we are going to entirely remove Dust as a resource, and fully replace it with card fragments and wildcards.
This will have a few effects. First off, levelling up cards will be done solely with card fragments and wildcards. The dust costs of levelling up a card will now be migrated to the card fragment costs at the 20 dust:1 card fragment ratio. This will also ensure that if you get sufficient random card fragment drops for a card, you can level it up “for free” without needing to use other resources that could be spent on other cards.
Due to the lack of dust, we will also be removing the dust shop, and any rewards that issued dust will be replaced with random card fragments and wildcards. These will primarily be replaced with wildcards at a 20 dust:1 wildcard ratio. This also means that players will be able to directly purchase their wildcards in places such as Titan Chests with diamonds, and there will be no timegating between when you unlock raid resources and when you can upgrade your desired cards.
To help ensure that the transition of dust is done smoothly, we will be automatically collecting all inbox rewards that contain dust, and then will be converting all owned dust into wildcards at a 20 dust:1 wildcard ratio.
Next up, we have a small but highly requested change not tied to raiding. We’ll be adding an Upgrade All Favorite Monuments button for players with VIP2 or above. This will work the same way as the Upgrade All Favorite Artifacts button where you can select a spending percentage and then the Upgrade All button will apply that between all favorite monuments.
Thank you for reading! Next week we’ll continue to explore the 7.3 update, including some major additions to raids.
As a reminder, you can view our web store for some free diamonds, dust, raid cards, and good deals on various bundles.
Happy Tapping!
