Introduction

Spire of Eternity.png


A pearly white and mysterious building appears near your City: the Spire of Eternity! Its highest tower touches the sky and disappears in the clouds. Your fellow citizens are intrigued, some are worried. They ask you to explore this new building, seek its wonders and combat possible enemies.

Once you have completed the Spire of Eternity research, you will be able to enter the Spire between Sunday and Friday. You can explore the Spire on the browser or in Elvenar's mobile app.

If you are brave, extraordinary rewards are waiting for you at the end of each level. Make sure to complete your Spire adventure before its gates close again on Friday to win all rewards!

Spire Map

The Spire comprises 3 stages between the ground and the sky. Each stage is divided into 4 sub-stages delimited by Magic Barriers. To complete these, you will have to solve Encounters with the spirits of the Spire: Peasants, Guards, and Bosses.

Spire Encounters

Spire Encounter 1.png

There are 3 levels to explore. Each level has 4 stages and each stage has 4 Encounters. Your first Encounter is with the ghost of a peasant. As with every Encounter in Elvenar, You can either choose an aggressive approach (Battle) or a more diplomatic one (Diplomacy). Diplomacy is unique to the Spire of Eternity and, much like Negotiation, requires resources to convince your opponents to make way for you.

After solving 4 Encounters, you'll gain access to a Magic Barrier. Each Magic Barrier has a countdown timer. To open it you'll have to wait until the countdown finishes. Fortunately, if you are eager to continue sooner, you can reduce the countdown using Boosters and/or Diamonds!

Please note: The Magic Barrier's countdown will start when you collect the reward of the last Encounter of the stage.


Diplomacy

In Diplomacy, you will have to make offerings to spirits in order to obtain their mercy. If you are successful in your offerings, the spirits are calmed and make way so that you can continue your ascent of the Spire. Unfortunately, if you fail, the spirits will be angry and you will have to try again or fight to complete the Encounter.

For every attempt at Diplomacy, you have three free turns. Should you need more turns to find the right combination, you can buy additional turns using Diamonds.

The game will present you with different types of resources. However, this does not mean that you have to use them all. Different spirits may want the same resource and it is also very well possible that a particular resource is not wanted by any of the spirits. Once you settled on the propositions that you would like to make, you can press "Offer" to have the resources deducted and to see how the spirits react to your offerings. If you find the right combination of spirit and resource, the combination is locked. If you failed to offer the right type of goods, the spirits will help you by indicating whether the specific good is needed by another spirit or if none of the spirits require the specific type of goods.

Please note: The resources offered to the spirits will be deducted from your account, even if a wrong combination was chosen.

After the first attempt:

1 - You have 2 free turns left to find the right combination;

2 - Once the correct resource was offered, this is indicated with a green circle and it is no longer possible to offer this spirit another resource;

3 - Offer highlighted in red: No spirit needs that resource. It is now impossible to select this resource again;

4 - Offer highlighted in orange: Another spirit needs the resource, but not this spirit!

Knowing this information, you can change your propositions for the second and subsequent turns.

You can abandon the Diplomatic approach at any time, but beware: any resources already offered will be lost and the Diplomacy game will be reset!

Please note: If you want to leave the Diplomacy, you will have to confirm your choice.

Spectral Stone

The Spectral Stone SpectralStone.png is a new joker for Spire Diplomacy. You can only use one Stone as a resource per Diplomacy session and for one Spirit.

Using a Spectral Stone will totally satisfy the Spirit and you will no longer need to find what resource they want.

Battle

You can see the enemy units and their order before you engage in a fight. Battles in the Spire can be composed of multiple "waves". Every wave must be won before the whole Encounter is solved. You must plan your Units carefully as you will not be able to change them between each wave. Fortunately, you can see the composition of each wave before you start to fight. This helps to choose the best strategy and you can use Diamonds to resuscitate Units between each wave.

Spire Battle.png

Playing on Browser, you will be able to choose between using automatic or manual fighting.

Please note: Be careful! If you suffer defeat during one of the waves, the Encounter is reset and enemy units are restored. If you win the first wave you will have two choices: you can fight the second wave or you can retreat from the Encounter. In the second case, the Encounter will be reset and adversary units will be restored.

In the unlikely case of a loss of connection to the servers, your progression is kept and you can proceed with the Encounter or retreat.

Rewards

The Spire brings artifacts, expiring buildings, and many more rewards. Any reward can be obtained multiple times. Make sure to complete the Spire in order to win all of these incredible rewards!

Reward Chests

Each Encounter solved opens a chest with a chance to win one of a number of rewards. The value of rewards increases as the Adventurer progresses through the maps of each level.

Mystery Chests

Every solved Encounter has a chance of revealing a Mystery Chest. These come in different rarities: Rare, Epic or Legendary, each with different awesome rewards. If you are lucky enough to reveal one of these Mystery Chests, it will appear at a random location within the current Spire level.

Once a Mystery Chest appears, a special indicator is displayed. A number is added to this indicator once more than one Mystery Chest was unlocked, to show how many Mystery Chests can still be collected in this level of the Spire.

The indicator can be clicked to move to the Chest. If the Chest is located in a section that is protected by a Gate that you have not yet opened, it will remain locked until you opened the gate.

Please note: After defeating the boss of each Spire level, you will need to collect all Mystery Chests before you can proceed to the next level.

Expiring Buildings

Three new expiring buildings are now available for your City: Genie, Trading Station and Dwarven Armorer. You can learn more about these new buildings on our dedicated page.

Multiplayer

Gather your Fellows and complete Encounters in the Spire of Eternity together to make progress towards additional rewards chests for your Fellowship!

Overview

To help you see how much progress you and your Fellowship are making, there is an overview that is available as a side panel while you're in the Spire. You can find it via the button in the top-left corner of the screen while exploring the halls of the Spire of Eternity.

Expanding this, the full progress bar appears:

On the progress bar, you can see:

  • your own progress PlayerMarker.png (your portrait shown in the center of the progress bar),
  • the Fellowship's overall progress (the purple bar)
  • the rewards that your Fellowship has unlocked (on the right side of the bar)
  • the individual progress of each of your Fellows FellowContributions.png (player portraits shown on the left side of the bar).

Spirit Essence

Every Encounter you complete in the Spire of Eternity while being a member of a Fellowship will grant you Spirit Essence SpiritEssence.png. You get 1 Spirit Essence for a normal encounter, 2 Essences for Spirit Guards and 3 Essences when you complete the Boss Encounter on each level of the Spire.

You can see the total amount of Spirit Essence your Fellowship has collected so far by looking at the progress element at the very top of the progress bar.

Fellowship Rewards

All the Spirit Essence you collect personally, together with the Essence gathered by your Fellows count towards the tally that unlocks additional Rewards for the Fellowship Spire Crystal SpireReward.png. These reward chests contain everything from Boosters, Combining Catalysts, and Portal Profits, all the way to Teleport Building Spells and Diamonds!

When your personal progress is on par with your Fellowship's progress, you will be eligible for any additional rewards your Fellowship unlocks. You will see this in the overview by a green checkmark next to the reward marker.

.

Should you fall behind your Fellowship's progress, you may work towards reaching the next chest by simply completing more Encounters in the Spire of Eternity. Each Encounter will move you closer to the next chest, and upon reaching each chest, you unlock the reward to be granted at the end of the Spire.

SpireMP04.png

.

In the example above, you see one reward that the Fellowship still has to unlock (indicated by a small lock), one reward that the Fellowship has unlocked already but the player would not receive yet, the reward that the player is working towards, and finally the last reward the player has already unlocked for themselves (checkmark).

Should you find that your Fellowship's progress is behind your own (the purple bar has not reached your progress yet), you should definitely encourage your Fellows to finish more Encounters to unlock more rewards for the entire Fellowship.

Please note: In order to receive the Fellowship rewards, you will need to participate in the Spire of Eternity, and complete Encounters to reach the respective milestone of the chest to make yourself eligible for the rewards contained within the chest.

Fellowship Trophies

Your Fellowship can earn Trophies in the Spire of Eternity! Fellowship profiles will show 3 different types of Trophies: Gold, Silver and Bronze. Your Fellowship will receive the highest Trophy that it has unlocked each week after the Spire of Eternity closes its gates. These Trophies remain in the Fellowship profile permanently so that you can easily show everyone how well your Fellowship performed in the Spire of Eternity in the past! You'll need the following amounts of points for each of the trophies:

  • Gold Trophy - Fellowship gathered 1330 or more Spirit Essence
  • Silver Trophy - Fellowship gathered 520 or more Spirit Essence
  • Bronze Trophy - Fellowship gathered 110 or more Spirit Essence
