Spire of Eternity - Vestige of Eternity, Harold's Shop, Spire Battle Skill Value

Vestige of Eternity – Overview

The Vestige of Eternity is a new Ancient Wonder linked to the Spire of Eternity. Unlocked via the Spire of Eternity's own separate technology - this Ancient Wonder does not appear as a separate tech in your Research tree.
Once unlocked, it becomes immediately accessible from the Ancient Wonder Gallery and introduces a unique gameplay experience focused on progression through the Spire of Eternity.

---

How to Unlock

• Players must unlock the Spire of Eternity technology to access the Vestige of Eternity and its features.
• Upon unlocking, the Ancient Wonder card appears in the Inventory.
• It is built outside your city grid, so it does not occupy any of your valuable City space.
• The Ancient Wonder can be upgraded across 35 levels, divided into 7 visual stages (1 stage every 5 levels).
• It does not require Fellowship donations and cannot be marked as a favorite
• Other players can see the Wonder when visiting your city, but cannot interact with it.

⚠️ Important

The Vestige of Eternity is a single-player Ancient Wonder. Other players cannot contribute to its upgrades.

Spirit Orb Insertion and Runes

• The Vestige of Eternity uses special Spirit Orbs instead of standard Rune Shards.
• These Spirit Orbs are obtained in the new Spire tutorial questline, and by defeating Spirit bosses in the Spire (once the tutorial is complete).
  
• The amount of required Spirit Orbs increases with 1 every 5th level upgrade:
  Lvl. 1 -5 → 9 Orbs required per upgrade
  Lvl. 6 - 10 → 10 Orbs required per upgrade
  Lvl. 11 - 15 → 11 Orbs required per upgrade
  Lvl. 16 -20 → 12 Orbs required per upgrade
  Lvl. 21 - 25 → 13 Orbs required per upgrade
  Lvl. 26 - 30 → 14 Orbs required per upgrade
  Lvl. 31 -35 → 15 Orbs required per upgrade
• The amount of Shattered Orbs remains capped at 10 throughout all of the Upgrade levels
• Players can also collect Shattered Orbs, used to forge Runes similarly to traditional Ancient Wonders.
  

❗Note

If you have enough Shattered Orbs to forge a Rune, the Orb insertion button will be greyed out. A tooltip will also inform you accordingly.

A new performance-based difficulty scaling system, called Spire Battle Skill, has been introduced. 

• Initial value: 800 (when the Spire is unlocked or this new feature rolls out)
• Recalculated weekly based on Spire performance
• Higher values increase challenge but also improve rewards

Did You Know?

Your Spire Skill value determines the challenge level and rewards, but not the drop rate for negotiation currency.

Radiant Stones and Rewards

• Successful encounters in the Spire now reward Radiant Stones , a new currency used in Harold’s Shop.
• The shop is available on each Spire stage and offers exclusive items; the stock is limited that the offers will be updated every 6 weeks.
  
• Players also receive bonus Radiant Stones for winning multiple Negotiation Games in a row, via a “Negotiation Combo Factor.”

❗Note

The combo bonus resets when a new Spire starts, or if you lose or give up during round 3 of a Negotiation Game.
