Le chaudron

Le chaudron

Le chaudron est une autre fonctionnalité de l'Académie de magie mais est aussi lié aux Tournois ! Il peut être trouvé dans l'académie de magie où vous pouvez récolter des Ingrédients, mijoter des Potions et gagner de puissants bonus, non sans l'aide d'une terrible sorcière ! Ensemble vous concocterez de fabuleuses potions pour les productions de votre ville.

Introduction

Chaque samedi matin, la sorcière fouillera la forêt des environs de votre ville pour récolter des ingrédients frais pour mijoter une potion magique !

Prérequis

Pour accéder au chaudron, vous devrez débloquer sa technologie au chapitre 5. Une fois débloqué, l'onglet du "Chaudron" deviendra visible dans votre Académie de magie!

Objets du chaudron

Pour concocter des potions correctement, il y a plusieurs aspects à prendre en compte:

• Ingrédients - Ils sont spécifiques au chaudron. Vous pouvez sélectionner 12 ingrédients différents, dont 8 sont achetés avec des points de sorcellerie et 4 avec des diamants. Ces ingrédients disponibles changent toutes les semaines. Chaque ingrédient a différents effets associés et si vous en achetez avec des points de sorcellerie, leur prix augmentera. Mais si vous les achetez avec des diamants, leur prix ne changera pas.

• Points de sorcellerie - Ils sont utilisés pour acheter les ingrédients et pour améliorer les effets des potions (phase d'étude). Vous recevez chaque dimanche un montant de points de sorcellerie basé sur votre progrès dans l'arbre de recherche et vous perdrez ceux inutilisés le samedi.

• Coupes - Les coupes sont utilisés pour votre potion et déclencher ses effets. Vous recevrez au moins une coupe toutes les semaines et vous pourrez recevoir jusqu'à 4 coupes supplémentaires si vous avez participé aux Tournois.

• Diplômes de recherche - Les diplômes de recherche sont obtenus en recherchant toutes les technologies d'un chapitre. Plus vous aurez de diplômes de recherche, plus vous pourrez obtenir d'effets. Plus vous progresserez dans le jeu, plus vos potions deviendront puissantes !

• Fragments de sortilèges - Vous pourrez augmenter votre chance d'améliorer des effets de potion avec des fragments de sortilèges.

Phases du chaudron

Le chaudron est divisé en 3 phases:

• Préparations - La période pendant laquelle la sorcière rassemble des ingrédients (de samedi 00h00 à dimanche 00h00, le chaudron n'est pas disponible).
• Concoction - La phase pendant laquelle vous choisirez les ingrédients à mélanger pour fabriquer votre potion (Disponible dimanche à 00h00 jusqu'à samedi 00h00).
• Etude - La phase pendant laquelle vous pouvez améliorer vos potions (Disponible dès que vous avez concocté une potion, entre dimanche à 00h00 et samedi à 00h00)

Préparations

Ils ne se passe rien pendant cette phase, la sorcière est sortie récolter des ingrédients pour vos potions donc le chaudron n'est pas disponible.

Brew Potion

In the Brewing phase, you can create powerful Potions with various Ingredients! You can combine up to 25 Ingredients to create one Potion. You can mix any Ingredient, either with Diamonds or with Witch Points. You can also use the same Ingredient several times, all to achieve the best possible Potion Effect! Your Potion will have different effects depending on what Ingredients you choose and in which order!

Spell Fragments also have a very important role to play in your Potion if you want to have a chance to unlock some critical effect. Spell Fragments can be added every 1000 units or if you wish, Diamonds can be used instead, these can be added every 25 units for the same effect percentage.

If a Trophy Goblet does not trigger a Potion Effect in which you have used Spell Fragments, part of the used Spell Fragments will be refunded to you! You will see this information in the Potion result window and at the same time the announced amount of Spell Fragments will be refunded.

When you think you have added all the necessary Ingredients and are ready to brew your Potion, click the "Brew" button to proceed! A window will pop up to confirm your choice and to check if you have the available resources. Press the "Bottom´s Up!" button and see if your Trophy Goblet has triggered any Potion Effect!

If you have chosen some Ingredients with a Diamond cost, or used Diamonds to increase the chance of a critical effect, a blue button will appear instead of the usual green one, confirm your choice and see your Potions outcome!

Attention: Only when you click on the "Bottom's Up!" button will the resources be removed from your inventory. If you click on the "Cancel" button you will go back to the Brew menu and can either remove or add Ingredients, and no resources will have been taken away from you.

Attention: If you proceed to Potion brewing, you will not be able to go back to the brewing menu, so make sure you have chosen the necessary Ingredients to brew your potion, as you will have to wait until the following week to be able to brew a new Potion again.

Potion Result

When you click on "Bottom's Up!", the Sorceress will inform you of your Potion result, whether your Trophy Goblets have triggered and which are the Effects for your city productions!

If you have more Trophy Goblets, you have to keep drinking more of the potion to have a chance of triggering more effects, in the top right corner you have the information on how many Trophy Goblets you have left!

Sometimes, a same effect can be repeated, in which case you will have to choose whether you want to keep the old one or choose the new one which can be better or not, the choice is always yours! Only one effect of the same type can be active at the same time in your City!

When your Trophy Goblets are over, your Potion is also ended and you will proceed to the next phase and final phase of the Cauldron, the Studying!

You will have an overview of your currently active Effects in the Cauldron's Studying window, where you can see which ones are active and how long they will last! The effects will be listed from left to right from shortest to the longest, up to 10 effects can be active at the same time!

Note: The active Effects, are displayed in all Cauldron phases.

If you hover your mouse over a listed Effect, you can view its level, percentage and duration time.

If you hover your mouse over the resource that is being influenced by your Potion, you can easily get an idea of the amount of the boost.

Sometimes Trophy Goblets may not trigger any effects. If for example you have used too few Ingredients, then in the following week you know you will have to invest more Ingredients into your Potion!

Hint: The more Ingredients you put in your potion, the more likely your Trophy Goblets are to trigger an effect of your choice. Remember to use Spell Fragments to stand a chance of triggering the critical effect.

Attention: It is not possible to save Trophy Goblets for the following week, if you do not brew any Potion, they will be lost when the Cauldron closes at 00h00 on Saturday.

Studying

The Studying phase is where you can improve your favourite Effects! This phase is available between 00:00h on Sunday and 00:00h on Saturday as soon as you Brew your Potion!

In the top left corner you have the remaining time indication (If there is less than 24 hours until the Cauldron finishes the time will be displayed in red). Press the "Improve Effects" button to begin.

After clicking the "Improve Effects" button you can start using the Witch Points you haven't used in the Brewing phase.

1. Indicates the amount of Research Diplomas you currently have, each Research Diploma represents 1 Chapter completed (To receive the Research Diploma you must research all the Technologies of the Chapter).
2. Shows the amount of Witch Points you still have available.
3. Shows the Effects you can improve, scroll down to see what more effects you have available.
4. Overview of the Effect improvement you have clicked on.
5. Progress to the next Effect level.
6. Button to enhance the chosen effect, pressing here will consume the indicated Witch Points.
7. Resource donation button for Witch Points. Click here to choose the Resource you want to use.
8. Button to convert the chosen Resource for Witch Points (The amount of Witch Points displayed will be added to your stock).

All Effects have 100 improvement levels! When you improve an Effect, its Benefit will be used next week if you can get your Trophy Goblets to activate that Effect again! If you are not successful, fear not, the progress of improvement is not lost, this means that in the following week the Effects will be at the same level as you left them!

Note: As you improve each Effect level, the cost and the amount of Witch Points needed for improving one Effect will gradually increase each level.

Resources for Witch Points

If you really want to improve a certain Effect but your Witch Points for that week have been used up? You can convert Resources in your game into Witch Points!

You can choose from Standard Goods to more valuable Resources such as Divine Seeds to convert into Witch Points! Be aware that as you acquire Witch Points with a particular Resource their cost will increase, but also the amount of Witch Points acquired per Resource will increase!

Reminder: Remember that you can not keep unused Witch Points and they will disappear when the Sorceress goes into the woods to gather Ingredients for the upcoming week, so make sure you don't leave any Witch Point unused!

Potion Effects

The Cauldron introduces wonderful Effects that will be applied to your city productions if you manage to use enough Ingredients to Brew your Potion!

The duration, strength and level of the Potion's Effect depends on the improvement level they are in. Remember to use any unused Witch Points from one week to continue improving your favourite Effects for next week! All Effects have 100 evolution levels.

Please Note: All active effects have action on all productions in your city with the exception of Building Sets.

Tournament & Trophy Goblets

Every week you get one free Trophy Goblet in the Cauldron, but you can win more Trophy Goblets by taking part in Tournaments. Trophy Goblets are what trigger the Potions, so the more the better!

However, to win Trophy Goblets you must be active enough in the Tournaments!

Achieve a certain Tournament score and you can win up to 4 Trophy Goblets per Tournament. A new Trophy Goblet is earned each time your Tournament Points total reaches a certain threshold: 200, 600, 1200, and 2000 Tournament Points.

The progress towards receiving the Trophy Goblet is individual, it has nothing to do with the progress of the Fellowship, each Fellow will receive the Trophy Goblets achieved according to the individual score attained!

Please Note: At the end of the Tournament the Trophy Goblets you have achieved will be added to your Cauldron inventory. You can view them when the Cauldron starts on Sunday.
