There’s a lot to go over here and I’m still getting my head around stuff. Infinite levels sounds good. The awkwardness of the conversion (it not being 1:1) sounds iffy, but hopefully will be OK.
I agree that removing the book of deeds offer from PvP is a bad idea. I understand we won’t have a book bottleneck anymore and there’s going to be plenty of places to get crystals and shiny dust. But as has been mentioned, the books were a key item that set the value of gold marks. By removing them, you just crashed the value of gold marks. Basically, you tanked the in-game economy. And that is worth considering carefully.
I would also like to know. What do we get for partial amounts?
Like, what does 1 imperial deed give me?
What about 1 or 2 deeds?
What if I have a handful of writs? Do I lose them? Is 1 writ worth anything?
For example - i have a zuul’kari maxed now and have 45 troops at level 20. So after an update should i have it a Prestige 50 and first track should be in a task where i need to get 46 troops to lvl 20 or should i need to complete my way through every upgrade step by step?
And one more question - will the ascend all button comes back?
I think if you have weird numbers of Deeds and Books of Deeds, they total together or rounded up – but I do not have the specifics on it, I am just looking at my account
Kingdom levels 1–15 require resources worth 3k XP ish and convert to 6k XP. Levels 16–20 require 52k XP worth of resources and still convert to only 16k XP. What great math!
Can I ask for an undo? Last weekend, I just spent 60 Deed Books to level up 2 kingdoms to lvl 20, but now they’ll convert to only 20k XP. If I had kept those books instead, they would’ve been worth 96k XP.
Yeah that is correct, its 4 to 1, Imperial Deeds to Rainbow Crystals.
It’s just what happens if you are someone who has hoarded Writs because you have had no use for them before.
OMG I just upgraded 4 kingdoms in the past weekish to level 20 from buying gold marks the last month and crafting a few. I need an undo also. What a mess. That was 120 books that has been saved up for many years. 4 different colors including purple. I even did one on Tuesday before I saw this.
The 16 to 20 levels have to give at least what 30 unpent books are worth and 29 Imp deeds worth.
Even though I like the majority of the new update (as far as I can tell right now), it’s quite a bummer that I spent the last year grinding PvP for books. Since June 2025 I maxed almost 25 kingdoms completely, always doing up to 1.5m VP every season. From next season on I might stop at 200k VP since I already have all the dragons and also all PvP pets and mostly all PvP troops. Those I don’t have I will craft once they’re in the Soulforge. So I’d probably spend a lot less money for passes and also time on the game since I can do our requirements in 1h per week (#3 guild on Xbox). Nice …
Is it honestly that hard to offer Rainbow and Colored Crystals in the PvP shop? Merchant and Angel offers are more complicated, but not offering anything of value to people who want to upgrade kingdoms with Gold Marks seems like a big oversight.
Or maybe the developers just want to time-gate our kingdoms, so they have more time to figure something else out.
Having just leveled up a kingdom to max in the past few days, hearing that I’d have been better off not upgrading is annoying. This is why people were yelling loudly on the spoiler post, saying players needed to be warned as early as possible about this.
If players feel like they’re being punished for upgrading their kingdoms, they’re going to be really annoyed about it.
I get that you want to err on the side of generous conversions for unspent resources, but please do the same with spent ones. It’s not fair to say those who spent them on leveling up should get less that those who didn’t.
For spending and upgrading your Kingdoms, you have in turn gained all the benefits that are given for upgrading your Kingdom Power and Kingdom levels.
Players who have max Kingdoms, will get pushed to the comparable Prestige level (which is like 50) without needing to consider Global Population restrictions (to reach that level), then have any resources on top that were in their inventory, to then continue upgrading that Kingdom or other Kingdoms.
Whereas players who haven’t upgraded their Kingdoms and just kept their resources, will not have the benefits that come with upgrading your Kingdom, and then will be converted to their comparable Kingdom level, and yeah, their resources then convert to Crystals, but if you then want to progress to where you could have been, you now also have to meet both the Kingdom XP requirement AND the Global Population requirement.
It is a balance between accomadating both groups of players.
People who upgraded the kingdoms should not be penalized. Also you are not thinking the are people who just spent books recently. 16 - 20 is a +1 skill. Saying that means you get screwed out of the value if you did not spend it is not good for players who did it right. I have been saving for years and just updated 4 in the last 1.5 weeks to make it I think a total of 8 now. That is not right to just do it and get ripped off. Most people do not have extra resources for getting to level 20 sitting around. This should have been announced many months ago. Please send me my 120 books and 116 imperial deeds back.
