I love this update! So much so that I got in trouble for giving feedback before the announcement.
One potential problem however:
Currently, a player who is not in a fellowship has NO way of knowing tournaments exist since it's not mentioned anywhere in game. It's no longer in the tech tree and there's no tent icon, no tournament roster, and no mention of it in the popups describing fellowships. An unguilded player will see this recipe and have no clue what a blueprint is, which could be really frustrating as it would seem to them to be the only way to get Royal Restoration spells. One solution might be that solo players don't see these recipes at all, but that would be unfair to them.
I suggest moving Blueprints & Royal Restoration to a separate crafting tab in the Builder's Hut. This would make a dedicated space for them, allowing for more detailed information on what they are and how to obtain/use them. It would also add more functionality to the Builder's Hut. For an added bonus, Inno could occasionally offer premium crafting deals in the Builder's Hut that uses Blueprints and/or diamonds to further encourage its usage. (As a side benefit, it also doesn't add to the overly long recipe list in the Magic Academy.)
- Will the RR spells in tournament chests be in addition to the Blueprint in the 10th chest, or instead?
- And can I assume that RR spell will not yet appear it this week's Tournament chests?
While it's not clear from the announcement, I believe it is in addition to the blueprint in the 10th chest. And it may still be possible that the rewards for the current tournament could be updated when the game is updated (since the tournament has not completed yet).
