PvE Spartan Reforge

  • 19,316

Greetings, fellow Celeste players!

We are very excited to bring you the first new feature that is done completely from scratch by the Celeste Development Team, the Spartan Reforge.

What is the Spartan Reforge, you say?

As you know, most pieces of equipment in Age of Empires Online have varied stats. This means that when you find a piece of gear in loot chests, sometimes it can have lower stats than the item's base stats. Well, in case of legendary gear, you don't have to deal with that anymore! Now with the Spartan Forge, you can try your luck at getting better stats on your gear.

- How does it work?
First, you go to the Sparta Region. Then you can find the Spartan Forge. Click on the building to open the Reforge menu. Drag and drop your item from your inventory. There you will see your item's Power Level, which is an indicator of how close your item is towards its maximum possible stats...

Hey guys, this is the development roadmap for Project Celeste in 2019.

As you can see in the picture, these are only the major contents planned for the game and we will have many other smaller updates with QoL improvements and things like that. Feel free to ask any questions below! ;)

You can also find out more about The Legendary Craftables and The Realms of The World Quest Pack in their own separate forum posts.

PvE Legendary Craftables!

Hello fellow AoEO players!

We are excited to tell you that the long awaited Legendary Craftables are almost upon us and will go live with tomorrow's update!

Webp.net-resizeimage.png

As you can see on the infograph, the new Recipes can be found as Legendary Quest Rewards, the chests in The Elite Meet in Crete, and if you can spare the coin, even higher chances of finding them in Level 40 Moe's Chests. They cannot be found in guarded chests. This was done in order to discourage "farming" and encourage actively playing quests, especially with your friends!

What do you think about the new Legendary Craftables? What would you like to see next? Let us know in the comments below! ;)

Good luck and happy hunting,
- Celeste Development Team

PvE A Sneak Peek into The Realms of the World Quest Pack!

  • 14,100
  • 26
Hello there everyone!

As we approach the release of our biggest Quest Pack yet, we think it's a good idea to give you a sneak peek into the upcoming Quests! So without further ado, let's get into it!

New_Quests.png
Battle the lackeys of the Evil High Priest of Loder in over 15 new Quests. Available for solo and co-op play, these Quests offer brand new maps with an all new and refreshing look! Who are the lackeys of the Evil High Priest of Loder, you say? Well, there's a lot of them! But they wouldn't be called lackeys if they had no leaders. Check out their leaders here:

Generals.png
  • Agnar, the Legendary Longbowman: With unmatched aim and precision, he lays waste to his opponents from a very long distance.
  • Mannfall, the War Chief: Harnessing incredible strength, he boosts the health of his soldiers, so killing him is your number one priority when you see him on the field.

PvP Balance Update #14

  • 5,742
  • 4
Greeks:

Priest:

  • Can now heal single units in-combat, and prefers healing friendly units over converting enemy units. Healing rate reduced to 25, from 40
> Balance Team's Comment: Single-Target converting Priests are one of the least utilized units in PvP mode right now. We are trying to change the utility of these Priests by allowing them to heal single units in-combat to reward good mechanics and micro. We will keep an eye on this change to see how it impacts gameplay and go from there.​

[Tech] Divine Vision:

  • Upgrade Cost reduced to 600 Gold, from 800 Gold
> Balance Team's Comment: We feel like quite a few of the lategame Champion Upgrades don't see much use because they are too expensive for what they offer. This change aims to address this issue.​
