Fableborne‘s Dev Diaries 15 outlines a set of core PvP changes arriving in Season 5, headlined by the introduction of Trophies, a new currency that will replace Blue Orbs as the ranking metric during PvP events. Workers will produce Trophies instead of Blue Orbs under the updated system. Separately, several staking-related actions are scheduled to begin March 17, including the distribution of Staking Epoch 1 rewards, the start of Staking Season 2, and the March Primordial claim for $POWER.
What Changed
- A new currency called Trophies is being introduced in Season 5 to determine player ranking during PvP events, replacing Blue Orbs in that role.
- Workers will now produce Trophies instead of Blue Orbs as part of the PvP overhaul.
- Blue Orbs remain in the game but shift to a different function, granting XP to the player’s Hero at the end of a raid and determining Star ratings based on clearance rate.
- Star Streaks now grant a flat amount of Trophies rather than a percentage bonus, calculated based on the defender’s player level and the number of consecutive 3-Star raids.
- The PvP changes are designed to address the small base problem affecting matchmaking rankings and the advantage previously held by players who joined events at the earliest moment.
- The Ronin Bridge Limit for $POWER will be increased to 300,000 per day as part of the March 17 staking updates.
Dates and Rollout
- Multiple staking and token actions are scheduled to begin March 17, with specific times to be announced.
- Staking Epoch 1 rewards are finalized and will be distributed starting March 17.
- Staking Season 2 will start on March 17 with new updates.
- The March Primordial claim for $POWER will be distributed and claimable via the Staking Portal starting March 17.
Numbers and Rules
- The maximum number of Trophies earnable from a Kingdom is based on the defender’s player level.
- Trophies earned after a raid are based on the attacker’s clearance rate.
- Star Streak Trophy bonuses are calculated using two factors: the defender’s player level and the number of consecutive 3-Star raids completed.
- The Ronin Bridge Limit for $POWER will increase to 300,000 per day.
