Daily Challenges are a feature introduced on 11th December 2017, later on 12th January 2022 revamped to the current version, available after the player researches the early Iron Age tech Militia. Every 24 hours, at a given time, The Illusionist will present you with a new challenge. A challenge not accepted or not completed from the previous day or a reward not collected will be lost at the point the new challenge is presented.

The Challenge[]

When the Daily Challenges are first unlocked on a world, the time for the reset of the daily challenge is set to 8 AM server time. The player however can freely select the starting time of the challenge by clicking on the cogwheel button near the timer. After resetting the starting time the next challenge will be presented at the earliest 24 hours after the last challenge started [1].

The Illusionist will present the player with the choice between two reward chests together with an option of switching todays reward for a choice of tomorrows rewards. It costs Diamonds 300 Diamonds, but you get to see what the choice of rewards are before you decide if it is worth to pay, these also appear the next day.

The reward chests are chosen randomly from all available chests and do not depend on your age or other factors. Moreover, they are different for each player. They will reward you with in-game resources, special Military Units (such as Champions and Rogues), Boost Crates, special buildings, even parts of event sets and 100 Castle Point Castle Points upon completion.

After the chest is selected, two to seven randomly selected tasks are presented that need to be completed to win the selected chest. The tasks will never be impossible to be fulfilled at the time of the presentation of the tasks. Also, the tasks are mainly independent of the chosen chest. It is possible to switch out tasks in the Daily Challenge. The first task per Daily Challenge you switch out is free and then it costs Diamonds 25 Diamonds per switch. Exchanged task will not appear again on the same day and should be easier than the previous one. Tasks can be switched as many times as there are available alternatives in the pool of tasks.

Challengers Chest[]

At the bottom of the challenge window there is a progress bar. Completing a challenge will increase the progress by one. There is no punishment for not completing a challenge[2].

After completing seven Daily Challenges and therefore completely filling up the progress bar, The Illusionist will reward you with a Challenger's Chest together with 700 Castle Point Castle Points and the progress bar will reset[3].

  1. For example: you have 10 hours left before the 8 AM server time, which is the default starting time. You choose to set your timer to 11 AM server time, so your current challenge ends at 8 AM and adjustment time is added until your new preferred time: Time (Hours:Minutes:Seconds)10:00:00 (time to finish current challenge) +Time (Hours:Minutes:Seconds)03:00:00 (adjustment time) =Time (Hours:Minutes:Seconds)13:00:00 (until new challenge).
  2. After the introduction of the feature, the progress was reduced whenever a challenge was not completed - this mechanic was later changed to the current one, where progress is never lost.
  3. This is the only point at which the progress resets or "loses" progress.

History[]

Prior to the current version of Daily Challenges since 11th December 2017, The Nameless was the quest giver. The Nameless has got replaced by the Illusionist for a rework on the beta server as an A/B test on 12th January 2022, later available for certain players on the live servers (since 8th March 2022) and since 16th May 2022 it is no longer serving as a quest giver.



Between versions 1.230 to 1.234 it was possible to get a task rewarding a random current era military building, regardless of technology progression. This was however removed due to balancing issues.
