Foxglove (a Vulpacea weapon) is not available to craft in the Soulforge. Previous communications suggest it should be. Previous dev actions suggest they have probably “forgotten” to add it, whatever that may mean. Honestly, I’m surprised I’m the first to report this in its own bug thread. Are we really so inured to mistakes (and bad choices) by the devs that we no longer bother reporting them? That would be bad for both players and devs! ---

There is usually some time between when troops and weapons are first available and when they are craftable or available in key chests. That might be the case with this weapon. ---

> [@PythagorasGamer](#): > > There is usually some time between when troops and weapons are first available and when they are craftable or available in key chests. That might be the case with this weapon. Then again, there’s a clear announcement that Foxglove WILL be available for crafting. We’ve been told repeatedly we shouldn’t believe in any datamined information or word-of-mouth about when something might be available or not. Instead, we are supposed to trust official word like the one above. Let’s wait and see how much weight this official word really carries, or if this will get handwaved away as yet another unfortunate miscommunication that is really, really working as intended. ---

True, but it doesn’t give a date or time. They probably forgot to put it in the Soulforge, TBH. ---

If we read that the weapon should be in the soulforge and you say that isn’t a bug, that make what was posted a lie, after this conclusion becomes harder to be constructive. ---

Thanks for reporting. I guess we did become a bit immune from reporting. The serious players still might be reporting via Beta servers or through those who are in Beta. ---

Hey again, So unfortunately, this is a miscommunication. As you all know new content is generally available 4-5 weeks after the event it was released in and during the next event week for the same Kingdom. In this case we wanted to release v6.9 before the next Campaign started (and we had already delayed the start of the Campaign at that point), but we needed to have the Vulpacea event week due to scheduling/content pipeline reasons. So where we normally would have tried to avoid having another Vulpacea event week so soon, we now have one and not enough time has passed for the Weapon to be released into the Soulforge. I will talk to the team again about wording on the blog. I’ll also ask about having more concrete release dates for things that we can share and see what I can do. Sorry everyone as I know this wasn’t the answer you were hoping for. ---

Yes yes yes. The leaders require that guild wars be scheduled at the worst possible times. Delaying Vulpaceas Raid event week would of prevented 4 concurrent events from happening (Holiday, Guild Wars, Raids, and Invasion) plus a new update at the same time. Couldn’t have that. ---

What **IS** enough time, then? By your words above, the weapon **SHOULD** be in the forge right now.

I’m not sure I understand your answer. You seem to be suggesting that your official announcements are mostly a work of fiction that should just be taken as light entertainment.

Maybe i missed it but why can’t something be added to the soulforge at any time? Regardless of the status quo? ---

And even so, the announcement made _no mention_ of the 4-to-5-week interval. Per the text of the announcement it _should_ be available now; it isn’t. The correct response to this is not a bunch of “too bad, nothing we can do” equivocation about schedules and campaigns and releases; it is “sorry, we messed up, and we will make it available in the Soulforge next week.” ---

> [@Fourdottwoone](#): > > The kingdom pass event was running from 2023-02-20 to 2023-03-26. The current Vulpacea week is 5 weeks after the event ended. Actually, its been 4 weeks. This week we are in currently is the 5th week. It’s too soon, as I said was probably the case earlier. Your attitude seems very entitled. The devs don’t owe you anything. You should maybe consider not demanding things, as if they do. It’s not a good look. ---

I beleieve Kafka said 4-5 weeks in a previous comment. Also i think in the part you have quoted, it also states this current week is the 5th week. I get confused easily though. ---
