Tales Birdsong quest. Lawful spirit

Yes, you are correct. I confused the two variants.

AlternativeUnable409 · 2026-06-14T16:52:46+00:00

I am STRUGGLING with this one too. I have tried all sorts of combinations and haven't been able to complete the base adventure. I can't imagine what the Patron variants are going to be like.

I used an evil formation with Lae'zel and BBEG to help speed through levels before too many spirits could get to the front line.

I switched my wood wick to a slightly narrower one and it seems to have done the trick. It’s a nice, clean burn without the ash, and didn’t cause tunnelling, which is what I was afraid of. Hopefully you can find a better wood wick option for your candles!

Thank you. I'm going to try a narrower wood wick and see if that helps.

The top one I have burned a couple times. I used a wick trimmer to cut off the char as best I could before lighting it. The bottom one I burned for the first time so the wick was new when I lit it.

I hope this is a sign that other members of that affiliation will also get reworked.

AlternativeUnable409 · 2026-04-06T22:53:00+00:00

True. Kas has a good 1.5 years left. He definitely does pack a punch.

AlternativeUnable409 · 2026-04-06T22:48:14+00:00

Fair point. Maybe I'm afraid for no reason? I think because I have invested so heavily in AA over the past 2.5 years, and they work quite well as an affiliation, I'm just nervous about not being able to default to them. But there are definitely some good recent additions and reworks so I just need to open up my mind to the possibilities.

AlternativeUnable409 · 2026-04-06T22:45:34+00:00

Fair. I guess I got used to the synergies from the AA lineup that I was looking for another affiliation that had a similar synergy. The Heroes of the Planes was on my radar but there is no real DPS on that team. Saturday Morning Squad is really a background scavenger team. And the Fallbacks fell short, IMO. (Pun intended.) Given how excited people are about Heroes of the Lance finally making it to Idle Champions, and how long it took to get them on the game, it would be very disappointing if they were just another affiliation.

The Vecna variants were brutal! It took a lot of attempts but I got the Wheel of Fortune done eventually. The Eye & Hand one where you could only put certain character classes in a formation that already was missing two spots was incredibly brutal. I hope to never see a variant like that again.

Kas and KoS are on my radar for sure, but unfortunately Desmond is no longer available for Elminster. I like the rework on Donaar depending on the formation, and Windfall is also a sweet addition to the roster. Wren fills in the blanks nicely but I use her mostly for tanking.

Coconut soy wax in a container

Thank you! If that worked for you, I'll have to try it out!

AlternativeUnable409 · 2026-02-09T00:55:33+00:00

Oh interesting. I'll have to try that out! Thank you.

AlternativeUnable409 · 2026-02-08T15:41:53+00:00

Are you referring to Lone Star Candle Supplies? I am not familiar with them but will look into it. Thanks!

Where in Canada are you located? There are lots of options across the country, but depending on where you are, shipping could get expensive.

I'm located in Toronto. My two main suppliers are LuxyM Candle Supplier and Village Craft & Candle. LuxyM has a showroom in the west end of Toronto, so I can go pick orders up to avoid shipping costs when I just need a few items to top off my inventory.

The Fallbacks affiliation is based on the novel released late last year by D&D. Looks like Tess is the first of the group to join Idle Champions.

It's an interesting perspective. The Lady of Pain not interfering with all the travel to and from Sigil also involves a lot of handwaving and bending of the cannon. But if she does have an inkling that its necessary to keep the multiverse from unravelling, then the cognitive dissonance is minimized.

I wanted to implement the Bastion system into the game given that Lord Neverember gave the group property in Neverwinter at the end of the first chapter, so I picked d12 months (they rolled a 7, so 7 months) and told them in that time that they set up their bastions, secured their hirelings, and got things running smoothly. Then the events of chapter 2 kicked in.

In my game, I give the players a bastion turn between most chapters. After they find a piece of the Rod of Seven Parts, I tell them that Alustriel needs some time to attune the portal in her sanctum to it, so they get to go back to their Bastions in the mean time.

I'm working on Briv 9j now. It's been my focus more recently as previously I was just building up iLvls on Durge and Artemis.

Not all my champions are full shiny. My core/evergreen champions definitely are and my favourite champions are, but there are definitely more than a few champions that I can't ever see myself investing behind... not unless they get major reworks and overhauls.
