Hi hi Thank you for being here!

Can you please explain Attack and Def Skill Points?
How are they calculated into our raw stats?

This was useful when the game first released but due to the stat inflation the skill points do not add a lot to the players stats anymore. This is something we are currently looking revamping with a future update to the game. We are also looking at adding an item that will allow all players reallocate their skill points when we release the update.

Hello, just wondering about crafting. These vouchers we've been winning, Pumpkin Head, Shrunken Head, etc, will they have a purpose later or were they just for the Hero of Hallow's Eve quest?

Also what is building defense for? It dosent seem to make any difference to me.

Hi jnsolber

Yes these vouchers will have a purpose very soon. We will be introducing crafting with Hero Equip in our next game update. This will change the way the game is played in every event we offer. We are very excited for these two new features and we feel the players will be too.

Derez can answer your questions about building defense.

Hi Tadahhh and Waffleking!
I would like to know if dark castle quest has a time limit. It shows any limit but there are rumors about the quest to be finished at the end of the upcoming war for final reward!
Rumors.... can we have official heads-up?
Thank you very much.

Hi Tex

The only time limit is buying the building. The rest of Dark Castle has no time restrictions. As long as you purchase the building by the end date you will be able to finish the rest of the quest chain at your pace.

Great to hear about SPs! Thanks!

Building Defense

Building DEF stat is added to your DEF stat when a player raids your kingdom. The issue, again like many issues in the game, building DEF was balanced for the original game and is unbalanced due to stat inflation. We have looked into boosting the stats of the original buildings to help with this as well as rebalancing all of the other core stats. However this is a huge undertaking to make sure it is done correctly and we have not had time to make that happen but it is on our current to do list.

Currently the Tree Fort is the best stat DEF building.

Suggestion, could it be possible, to just release 5 new DEF buildings which their combined DEF at level 10, would equal the adjustment you need to make to all the original DEF buildings, that way you do not need to adjust them
so basically add 5 new DEF buildings that will compensate (will represent) the DEF adjustment that all original DEF bldgs need

We will be adding some new DEF buildings in the future. However, new buildings will require players to spend time and money in upgrades while rebalancing the existing building are a free boost to all existing players stats which makes the time and money that they have put into the existing buildings worth while.

True, but you can make this building to have a cost of $1 gold, to upgrade them also $1 gold, and should also take 1 minute to upgrade..............so in would take a MAX time (considering you can only upgrade 1 building at the time) of under 90 minutes to get all 5 buildings to level 10...............
