Important notice

While I have your attention, please wear a mask and avoid unnecessary travels—especially if you live in an area with rampant COVID-19 cases. It takes everyone’s effort to slow down this pandemic. Do the right thing. 🙏

Daily check-in calendar

Who doesn’t like a good Advent Calendar full of goodies during the month of December? Get ready for the Stormbound Advent Calendar, named “Daily Check-in Calendar” in the game.

Here is the idea: every day of December 2020, you will be rewarded with a small gift provided you log into the game. Gifts vary from coins, rubies and fusion stones, to individual cards and even books! If you do not log in on a given day, that reward is lost forever, but you can still come back the days after for the next ones.

For players who are willing to spend a few bucks into the game, you can buy a Premium Pass for $9.99 to have additional rewards. You can buy this pass at any point in December and will unlock all past premium daily rewards immediately.

It is important to note that the Premium pass grants both the free reward and the premium reward for every single day you log in.

FAQ

When is the update going to be released?

The balance changes will be effective with the season reset on December 1st. The premium pass will become available at that date as well. The Black Friday offers will be available from November 24th (9AM CET) until November 30th (end of day).

Will the daily check-in calendar be a monthly thing from now on?

This is currently undecided. It is not impossible we will keep a similar concept in the future, most likely with fewer rewards however. Time will tell.
