Illuvium Beyond Wave 5 launches March 12 at 18:00 UTC, closing out Set 1 with a burn mechanic that converts Illuvitars into Stretch Goal Points, a new account-bound Chest system, and an expanded stretch goals structure offering over 300 unlockable rewards. The update allows players to use duplicate or unused Illuvitars as fuel for exclusive cosmetics, rare Chests, and unique Illuvitars through a points-based progression system.
What Changed
- A burn mechanic has been introduced that converts Illuvitars into Wave 5 Stretch Goal Points, with every 1,000 Power burned granting one point.
- Bonded accessories count toward a burned Illuvitar’s Power total, giving players an incentive to bond items before burning.
- Wave 5 introduces account-bound, non-transferable Chests in multiple tiers, including Beyond Chests and Fuel Chests.
- The stretch goals system has expanded to over 300 individual rewards, including Emotes, Profile Titles, Exclusive Illuvitars, D1SKs, Chests, Borders, Album Skins, and Battle Show cosmetics.
- A community stretch goal track has been added, pooling points from all minted Wave 5 D1SKs and burned Illuvitars across all players, with shared rewards distributed after the wave ends.
- Burn points and D1SK opening points combine toward stretch goal progress, and excess Power burned beyond the current capacity cap carries over automatically when a higher tier is unlocked.
Dates and Rollout
- Wave 5 launches on March 12 at 18:00 UTC.
- Community stretch goal rewards are distributed after the wave concludes, not immediately upon qualification.
