Players also gain short-term boosts, while a new heat index dynamically balances contested zones, influencing loot, threat levels, and group visibility.

The level cap is raised to 25, adding new abilities and a passive buff. A redesigned quest system and the new Warrior Badge provide clearer progression and weekly point bonuses. A standalone leaderboard campaign lets NFT Champion owners compete for token and NFT prizes, supported by daily/weekly quests and bonus spins.

Guilds feature two key roles: Members, who focus on gameplay and earning $POWER, and Founders, who manage resources, allocate Diamonds, and recruit skilled players, with optional manager-style sub-roles for high spenders. Dual leaderboards reward both individual performance and collective Guild strategy, while the prize pool scales with player spending, with 70% of webshop revenue (excluding Power Chests) contributing to rewards. The system is expected to boost collaboration, competition, and viral engagement across the Fableborne community.
