Devblog: The Crimson Dofus

This year is a very special one for Ankama. We're celebrating the company's 25th anniversary! To talk about this milestone, we decided to get back to the real basics. Those legendary dragon eggs – the Dofus, of course – are at the heart of our annual theme. In the Wakfu Era, Ogrest has them… But the Dofus contain a powerful magic, and they can also be gathered by the chosen one from the prophecy: you!

We wanted to celebrate this special year by adding a new quest that will allow you to get the Crimson Dofus.

Introduction

Across the beautiful shores there lies a beautiful golden beach. A studded sky looms over you, the veiled menace that removes rays of light and the attraction linking dust to the countless souls of the Krosmoz.

Are you really here and now? Or are you somewhere else? Are you someone else? Does the Krosmoz really exist? Perhaps the past, present, and future are as one… in an indescribable arc, leading to the edge of existence while being told in a single word.

New Quest

A new quest is being added to the game with Update 1.93. This quest will introduce you to a mysterious new individual. An amnesiac Enutrof, having been rescued off the coast of Ereboria, joins you to set off in search of his forgotten story.

But you don't always want to learn the whole truth about your past… Especially when it's tied to a primordial dragon named Ignemikhal, and to the Dofus that burns hottest: the Crimson Dofus!

As with every other Dofus, after finishing the main quest line, you can do a secondary quest. It requires you to complete dungeons at a higher Stasis level and to collect precious materials to obtain the true relic Crimson Dofus.

The minimum level for this quest is 156. It can be started by talking to the Hullcatz in Ereboria.

New Intervening Boss: Ignemikhal

As for Ignemikhal, from this update on he will appear in these dungeons as an intervening boss:

• The Stalagmotel
• Bistrogue
• The Zeppelantern
• Elite Riktus Dungeon

New exclusive rewards have a chance to drop.

Story Arcs in WAKFU

It's time to briefly take stock for the sake of transparency.

We are constantly thinking about the future of story arcs in this project. Doing extensive quest lines with so much at stake is a very difficult thing to develop.

We don't think we will offer any more big arcs like Wabbit Island or the Misty Isle, two quest lines that we had to call upon specialists for and that required a lot of resources for the project. The results were spectacular and we're happy with these quality of these quests. From now on, however, we would like to condense narrative additions into short but high-quality arcs, centered on our characters' thoughts and evolution. This will allow us to allocate concurrent resources to more systemic additions that are more enduring in the game.

Of course, this stance could still change!

We hope you'll enjoy this new chapter in the history of WAKFU! With the Crimson Dofus, the fourth primordial Dofus is being added. What do you think the next one will be? Feel free to share your theories on what'll happen in the Wakfu Era when the chosen one collects them all!
