[h3]New horde dungeon type (Endless mode)[/h3]


[h2]Grow your garden![/h2]


SPECIAL TOOLS
Use watering can to make the void plants grow faster and increase potency of void magic to affect value and potential loots. The rare watering can has the power to change current season or festival.

HARVEST - Extract loot or sell plant
Choose to sell your void plant to the Manheim Trading Company for coins or harvest it yourself for special loot

VOID SEASON AND FESTIVALS - 26 new rare events
Void season and void festival events affects current growth and the outcome of actions in the void garden like planting, watering and harvesting.

UNLOCK SECRETS
The right combination of season, festival and seed type can cause rare mutations and other effects. This will affect drop chance for loots. For example "Moortus the Weaver (MOL)" festival causes 100% drop chance for the "Soultaker Weaver Armor Set" when harvesting a Void plant (MOL) in some cases.






[h3]LORE[/h3]
Manheim Trading Company and the Dwarf King
(Tower Walker lore - 100% written by a human mind in 2019)
In the second age the Abyss Queens powers grew beyond the borders of the abyss and expanded into another dimension called the void. There she encountered the ancient void god Molgor. By using the soul magic in the tower and with the help of the dark sorcerer Moortus she managed to open a massive portal that released Molgor into the world. In the ancient scrolls of Xarras it is told of a prophecy that the old void god will be awakened and consume all magic in the world. The human noble Renard Manheim, a selfmade man of action, a man full of purpose, the leader of the richest trading company in all of the lands found a part of this ancient scroll during one his travels along the trade routes to Stormholme. He became obsessed by the quest to awaken the void god and his only mission in life became to fulfill this ancient prophecy no matter the cost. After years of planning he managed to make a deal with the ruler of the underground dwarven empire beneath Glimmerpass mountains. He convinced the Dwarf King Godrin to send out a mining expedition to explore the deepest darkest caverns under the mountain with the promise of great power...

[h3]Legendary Armor sets (S+) for all classes[/h3]

This expansion brings special unique set bonuses that unlocks new skills, abilities or talents for each class. For example Tyrant set Raider unlocks a special bonus when completing the set which gives a passive ability called Raider.

He would help to the mining expedition to find hidden secrets and unlock new paths.
