Shadow Tower Difficulty

New RewardsTop ^

Defeating the Daughter of the Moon grants Despoiled Divinity. Save up enough and you can pick up a brand new legendary dragon, Olhukoi, the Moonlit Muse.

You can also use Despoiled Divinity to purchase all new costumes for each of Trove’s 15 classes.

More new items are also available for Heart of Darkness (collected from Shadow Cache). All of these HoD items can be traded to friends or sold on the Marketplace! Heart of Darkness items include 4 mounts, 4 allies, 4 costumes, a sail, a boat, and a mag rider.

 We’ve also added 13 all new rewards that are purchasable with Titan Souls. These new items include even more allies, sails, and costumes.

Defeating the Shadow Tower bosses directly can earn you gorgeous new mounts such as the Hewn Hydrakken Head, Hydrasnek, or Dreadnought Mk I Prototype!

Increased DifficultyTop ^

The difficulty of the newly updated Shadow Tower also brings challenge back to the end game. It shouldn’t be a trivial matter to solo clear the toughest content in the game in a few seconds.

Having tougher enemies in the Shadow Tower encourages players to group up. Also, using the Gem Forging system to power up your best gems will help add a ton of power and make things much easier over time. Less than 24 hours after the Eclipse update and well over 1,000 Trovians have successfully beaten Ultra mode Daughter of the Moon.

Leaving out the patch note that called out this change was not intentional and it has been added to the patch notes now.

• To fit with the new and improved Shadow Tower rewards we’ve increased the challenge to match. Players that were previously able to solo Daughter of the Moon on Ultra will now want to consider running with a group or starting on Hard mode. -Note added on 8/22

We’re discussing this oversight internally to make sure something similar doesn’t happen in the future.

This change is very new and it will likely take players some time to get used to running the Shadow Tower in groups again. We’ll evaluate the difficulty over the coming weeks as players adjust to working with ST teams and get newly updated gems. If things aren’t where we want them to be we’ll work on finding the best path forward.
