[Eternal] Launch Q&A
Hi everyone, we're the Conqueror's Blade dev team.
It's with great pleasure that we just recently released our new China-themed season, [Eternal]. It's the culmination of months of work, and the team was working on polishing it up to the very launch itself, all to give you the best experience as soon as possible. We're also incredibly thankful to all the players who reached out to us to share feedback ASAP after seeing the new content and those joining the tests we ran. Your feedback is incredibly important to us!
The season's been available for about a week now, and we've seen in our communities that you all have plenty of questions. We'll be answering some of these during today's Q&A, oh, and please do share any feedback and recommendation you have!

[h3]Q: There are just too few donatable items as it stands and farming siege battles for a week isn't enough for me to max out on fame. Can you add more ways in which to earn fame?[/h3]
A: ]As one of the most important resource acquisitions for each season, we want you to receive gains from it throughout each season. It's an integral part of the seasonal experience. We've seen for ourselves that earning fame has been somewhat too difficult. Rest assured, we're adding [basic resources, exotics and regional exotics] to the list of donatable resources with the March 2nd update. So, you'll now be able to gather resources on the World Map and trade these in for fame too.
Plus, some of the item rewards aren't all that helpful for daily gameplay, so we'll be replacing random attire rewards with other rewards this season. We'll keep an eye on how these changes pan out and follow feedback to see if we need to make further changes.
[h3]Q: How many Artificer's Stones can I expect to earn throughout a season, and how many reforges will that give me?[/h3]
A: Disregarding any Artificer's Stones from limited-time events, you'll be able to earn 25 per week simply from weekly quests and the Fame Envoy. That amounts to 500 stones a season. If you've got all the other materials, you'll be able to reforge 35+ rare equipment per season.
[h3]Q: Will my equipment's endurance reach max if I can't reforge it?[/h3]
A: We've raised the endurance cap of reforged equipment. Taking a pair of legendary Carnifex's Gloves as an example, we've raised the endurance cap from 115 to 330, plus we've reduced the rate of wear and tear. Reforging will reduce this rate to 28% of what it was before.
Furthermore, if you bring a piece of new equipment into about 5 siege battles per day, it'll still have some endurance left by the end of the season. For most players, endurance won't be a very pressing issue. On the other hand, you can earn Artificer's Stones throughout the season to refresh the endurance cap of equipment.
[h3]Q: How do I earn this season's weapon skins?[/h3]
A: The season's weapon skins will be available from the [Champion Trove] as per usual. Oh, and we've made some improvements to it too! We're changing the mode into Escalation (Siege) with a fair ruleset. By fair we mean a mode where everyone has access to the same units regardless of what they've unlocked. Each Warlord will have 900 leadership, each attacker can deploy 2 rare artillery, and each defender can deploy 1 rare artillery. You may match for this mode with a party of up to 3. Hopefully, the gameplay will be as rewarding as the rewards themselves!
[h3]Q: We've had an influx of new players joining our house. Is unit sharing coming, and if so, when?[/h3]
A: Yes, unit sharing is coming. We estimate that unit sharing will be available again following the April 6 update. The reason for this is that we've added new modes and features to the game, including [Escalation (Siege)], and we need to make revisions to unit sharing so that it fits these too. During this time we'll also work on improving it further!
I hope that these answers will shed light on some of the questions you've had for the new Eternal season. And, once again, please share as much feedback as you can with us! It truly is a tremendous help!
