KINGDOMS, RISE!
Have you unraveled the secrets of your artifact and unleashed its force on the battlefield during the campaign? Well, adventurer, there's much more to come. New horizons of power will be uncovered in this Gems of War Update, and the Kingdoms of Krystara shall lead the charge. Join the fray, but beware, or you might find yourself stuck in a Vault filled with mischievous gnomes!
WHAT'S NEW
LEVEL UP YOUR KINGDOMS... BY THE BOOK
Six new Books of Deeds hold the secrets to unlocking the true might of your home Kingdom! Now Kingdoms can be leveled up to 20, with each level conferring a special building and corresponding perks, such as Faction Hoard Stats and Kingdom Team Bonus upgraded to Tier V. The Power level cap for Kingdoms is being raised as well, with new levels -up to 30- which will become achievable by completing Kingdom Tasks and new Kingdom Power Tasks in the months to come.
FIND THE KEYS TO EPIC LOOT
Pesky treasure gnomes are always sought after by adventurers eager to reap the bounty of their Vaults. But most elusive are those who carry an Epic Vault Key, which opens the way to untold riches... and a fierce boss fight. Besides the possibility to go into Epic Gnome Vaults, we've made a host of changes on Gnome Vaults and related Weekend Events. Track the gnomes' movements carefully; you may even come across the deadliest and trickiest of them all, one said to have vile Daemon blood coursing through its veins!
Some more quality of life upgrades to the Campaign Tasks UI and a variety of minor bug fixes round up this update. For more details, please visit https://gemsofwar.com/patch-notes/. Don't forget to follow Gems of War on social media and visit the forums at https://community.gemsofwar.com.

ARTIFACTS OF FATE
Powerful Artifacts have turned the tides of War and shaped Krystara throughout the ages. Now you have been chosen to wield their might, discover their secrets, and shape fate.
This major update to Gems of War is brimming with new content: seasonal Campaigns with epic rewards for those willing to fight until the end, a fearsome new Faction, a revamped calendar of weekly challenges and more.
WHAT’S NEW
Uncover mysteries, earn epic loot!
Campaigns are a new way to adventure and battle for rewards on top of the Weekly Events. Earn stars by taking on Bronze, Silver or Gold Tasks, and use them to earn Campaign Pass rewards and a chance to level up your Artifact each week. There is one Artifact per campaign. Besides conferring powerful stat bonuses in all game modes during the period, unlocking their power will reveal stories about the cataclysmic forces and events which shaped Krystara as we know it.
Go Big, go Elite
As an optional upgrade to your loot hunting during the Campaign season, we’re introducing the Elite Pass, which will open up a whole new track of rewards to unlock for players inclined to do so. If you want to go all the way, the Elite+ Pass tops it off with rare rewards and a weekly influx of Stars to help with your Campaign progression.
Face your Daemons
A new Faction has arrived: Illithia. The Illithians are an ancient breed of Daemon, who use their mind powers to turn their enemies against themselves. With the Underworld now blown wide open, they are preparing their first attack on the lands above. Tag alongside Gemhammer on a quest to seek out and destroy the dreaded Hive Mind commanding this Faction.
Gems for weekdays and weekends alike!
Campaigns are a great occasion to introduce more World Events, which will run throughout the weekdays. But, fear not, community-favorite Raid Boss Events are becoming weekend features alongside Invasions. Guild Wars will continue to be held every 4 weeks, on top of the other events.
Weapons to bring Kingdoms to their knees
Kingdom Weapon Packs feature 33 new weapons now offered to players who have yet to complete the Kingdom questlines. The weapons deal extra damage to enemies of the corresponding Kingdom, and Packs also include extra resources to help in completing quests. Avid collectors who have already finished their Kingdom quests can still craft Kingdom Weapons during weekly events or purchase them on Flash Offers.
Fate awaits!
There’s more to discover than ever before in Krystara, and we hope you’re as excited as we are to dive into the game. This update also includes a number of changes including updates to Help, UI improvements and quality of life fixes. You can check out the details at https://gemsofwar.com/patch-notes/
