New Challenges Bring New Rewards: Introducing the Quest System
Available to both new players through Challenger Edition and existing players as part of the free 4.1.9 update, the Quest System offers even more ways to play, and provides legendary rewards in return!Each Quest includes eight randomized objectives. Complete all eight to fill the Quest XP bar and obtain your rewards! Objectives may involve anything from combat, collecting, and participating in specific modes such as Dreamstones and Lightbringer. Objectives can be re-rolled, so you’ll never be stuck doing something that doesn’t fit your preferred playstyle! And of course, what is a quest without a reward? Once complete, players will be rewarded with three versions of a legendary item, this way everyone can pick the version that synergizes best with their build. Further still, if one of these three isn’t quite a fit, players will be able to spend resources to duplicate an item in their inventory, creating three versions of it with unique attributes, of which players can select the one right for them.
And for anyone worried about having to log in daily or grind quickly, there’s none of that here! Quests are not timed or limited, so you can tackle them at your own pace.

New Features and Quality of Life Enhancements for ALL Players
In addition to our continued commitment to squashing bugs and optimizing the game, we’ve also got a bunch of fresh goodies for new and returning players that further enhance the Godfall experience. Below is just a small sampling of the changes that went live with the Challenger Update. You can see the complete patch notes here.⦁ Mutually Exclusive Trait Prevention – Items will no longer drop with certain combinations of traits that cause one or more traits to be ineffective, such as Cololaba’s Legacy rolling with primary traits requiring both Vitality and Spirit to be the highest stat.
⦁ Skip Tutorial – Players can now skip the initial tutorial via an option in the start menu if they wish to jump right into the action.
⦁ Codex Overhaul – The Gameplay section of the Codex has been overhauled to provide more detailed descriptions and helpful tips for Godfall’s various game modes (Dreamstones, Ascended Tower of Trials, and Lightbringer).
⦁ Unified Co-op Scaling – We have made some changes to the way the co-op experience scales in parties when playing Tower of Trials in order to unify the scaling behavior across the game. Tower of Trials now scales to the host’s level, with other party members automatically increased or decreased in power depending on their level relative to the host. This will ensure that Tower of Trials remains a challenging and fun experience at all party levels, and matches how scaling is handled in the rest of the game.
