Seasonal relics can be purchased from archive. What currency tho? the answer playstation want is anciant coins as we never got a chance to play these seasons. So technically we lost out on buying season and earning 8 mythic relics with season coins ---

While the Season is active - 350 Seasonal currency for Platinum Pass holders When the Season is in the Archive - 350 Ancient coins for everyone Everything in the Archive is only for Ancient coins. Currently, there is a visual bug in 2.5 Archives that is showing the Platinum Pass frame still around the Relics but the team are aware and looking into getting that resolved. ---

Do the normal in-Season time limitations of 1 Mythic Seasonal Relic per week also apply once the Season ends and it moves to the Archive? ---

~~The Archive _should_ also refresh each week, but checking with the devs cos I can’t check on my account unless we want an answer in 7 days.~~ Confirmed they will refresh weekly. ---

1 relic per week is a good thing, avaiable for everybody is even a better thing. Thx Dev, this is the right way imo to get a larger long time playerbase. New season comes with interesting gear and other nice stuff and changes on update and compensation is the best thing of all. Thx Dev again. Good work. ---

The update looks so nice, so many interesting things! - I am really looking forward to the spell reworks, I cannot wait to have ancient mythic spells! - I also like the flavor of making the weapons, spells and minions of this season as a throwback to the previous seasons. I hope the story lives up to my expectations 😊 - The new reward sequence seems much better. And we finally get the long asked multi-salvage function! - Finally, seasonal relics will be purchasable. This is huge, thanks a lot for it! Thank you very much to all the hard working team behind this great game, good job! ---

Really curious about the power of ancient mythic spell… Since many spells already go full potential at mythic, what will they get when further leveled? Extra effects? Other bonus? Can jeto give us one or more example? ---

My guess is that they get +1 to the rarity related effect. For example, channel spells create 8 gems at mythic so I expect them to create 9 gems when at ancient mythic rarity. ---

No need to farm hard if that’s the case… Ancient mythic will simply become a resource sink with minimum reward. There must be a good reason to push us farming page beyond legendary. ---

Well, to be honest for me creating 1 additional gem with my purple gem generator spells, 1 additional skull with darkfire gaze, or doing +1% extra damage with night blade and darkfire bolt are really good reasons to go for the ancient mythic. It seems that it can also increase spell critical damage bonus (we still have to see how relevant this will be). And, of course, I like maxing everything so… I will be farming like crazy to get all my main spells to ancient mythic 😅 ---

We can see that there was a lot of work for which I congratulate and thank you. From what I can assess at the moment, I especially like being able to acquire relics from past seasons with ancient coins and the fact that the new spells have innovative characteristics. I also appreciate that some attention was paid to the in-game help section and the new function for more practical salvage. As for the rest, I’ll wait, as Jeto said, for a few hours of play to better understand what’s new. One small doubt, however, can be clarified. Does Damage Resistance in Fathomless Shields refer to both physical and elemental damage? Oh and I almost forgot, the new features for the hero icons are really cool. It’s things like these that can’t be quantified in resources or evolution but in pleasure. And it’s the pleasure that, at least for me, keeps me in the game. Thank you for that . ---
