The Glimmerwood Mystery Box

We've just introduced the Glimmerwood Mystery Box which introduces 38 new microtransactions from the woodland realm, each imbued with a curious kind of magic. Each Mystery Box costs 30 points and guarantees one microtransaction with value equal to or greater than that of the box.

PSA: Watcher's Eye Change in Upcoming Patch
Mar 13, 2019, 10:16:11 PM
Tomorrow (Friday NZT), we're planning to release Patch 3.6.1 which includes a change to the "30% increased Maximum total Recovery per second from Energy Shield Leech while affected by Zealotry" modifier found on the Watcher's Eye Unique Jewel. This modifier unintentionally went out with a value six times higher than intended which is making it much more powerful than intended. We try to avoid nerfs mid-league but we feel the power of this item warrants an emergency change. We are extremely sorry to anyone that this has negatively affected. We want to give you as much notice as we can before any more item sales are made. Read More.
