Reimagined - Lots of Things!

Hey there, heroes!

For this month's Reimagined release, we have, well, a lot! From bug fixes to balancing to typos and more, read on to find out what's in store!

First up, the Book 3 main story quests "Three Questions", "Tea for Three", and "The Obsidian Tomb" have had some minor script adjustments and typo fixes!

Next, your baby dragon companion has been updated! When growing from baby to toddler and from toddler to kid, your dragon will now gain 100 training points. The maximum is still 600, but you will now get a total of 200 of those points from dragon growth. If you have any unspent dragon chow, we'll be happy to help refund it if you contact Verlyrus on Twitter with your character ID and amount of Dragon Chow to be refunded. Unfortunately, we cannot refund Dragon Chow that your dragon has already eaten.

DragonLord has also received a massive update, including the new "Legend" customization option! This customization option automatically unlocks after you complete the quest "The Obsidian Tomb".

Finally, Dove now has a new DragonLord only shop in Book 3 Sunbreeze Grove, where you can pick up some new cosmetic items for Dragon Coins! The Helm and Spear of Ancient Maar are a perfect fit for the Legend DragonLord customization, and the Hero's Backpack will let you carry your dragon with you wherever you go! Normally, your dragon will automatically leave the backpack in battle or when walking around with you. However, there may be minor time-space anomalies when your dragon appears in quests. Should this happen, you need only click the backpack to properly fix the paradox and hide your dragon! (And click it again to let them out!)

And now, on to all the juicy details!
