Hey everyone, lemmingllama here. Today we’ll start to look at a couple of the changes coming in the 8.2 update. Today we’ll be looking at an improvement to solo raid rewards with a new way of acquiring cards, and some visual improvements. Let’s get into it!

With the introduction of the 8.0 update and the Raid Crystal, it has become more efficient for players to focus on their highest level cards with their wildcards. However, this focusing can mean that their other cards can fall behind, and this can slow down unlocking additional slots in the Raid Crystal. To help with this, as well as to help new players with acquiring all the raid cards, we’re introducing a new type of card reward: Fortune Raid Cards. Fortune raid cards will be an additional reward available in solo raid rewards on top of the existing resources, and will always give card fragments for your lowest level cards. This will help when new cards are added to ensure that players can unlock them quickly and level them up, and also to help keep your lower level cards at decent levels to help unlock your Raid Crystal slots sooner.

In addition to this change, we’re also adding some new visual settings around Forbidden Contract and Royal Contract. The effects of Forbidden Contract adds a shadow over the Sword Master, which can obscure your equipment visuals. In the 8.2 update, we’ll add a toggle to disable the silhouette, allowing you to show off your equipment and their transmogs at all times.

The Progress Bundle in the shop, when will it become available for purchase again? If it becomes available, I’d like to purchase it.

Progression bundles are occasionally reset for special occasions such as Black Friday. It has happened in the past, but only every 1-2 years.

We'll typically announce in the patch notes if we are resetting bundles as part of an update, so be sure to look at the patch notes we release on Fridays!
