Challenge Rewards?
Added 2016-09-07 16:47:32 +0000 UTCI'm not sure how many of you have done the zombe horde boss room yet, but I've decided to change a few things about it. Namely the rewards.
I've decided that the number of fights are only annoying during testing. In an actual game you just have to go through the boss room once, so it's not as big of a deal.
I've tweaked a boss death a bit. His parts now go in different directions instead of all piling together.
As for rewards, the wand magnifiers aren't much of a reward, so if you happen to find anymore then please let me know (so I can replace them with something better). In this instance I replaced it with a perfume bottle (yay?).
Another reward change is the amount of upgrade orbs you get. You can get anywhere from 1 to 5 here. It actually depends on how many of the recovery orbs you consume during the fight. If you can make it through the whole boss room without using any recovery orbs then you'll end up with all 5 upgrade orbs. Most players will probably get by using just one of them.
I believe these changes are retroactive, so for those that have already done the boss room you'll be able to go back and collect the extra upgrade orbs (and perfume bottle, possibly).
If you do end up missing out on some of the upgrade orbs then don't worry about it. You'll be able to get unlimited upgrade orbs near the end of the game.
I think this is a good way to reward players who might focus on weapon power more, which would result in longer battles (but use less magic). In most instances you don't really have to worry so much about magic recovery (since you can sleep it off). Alternatively, there's always the Recovery Spellstones.
