We bring you an exclusive sneak peak at what is coming next to Pocket Legends:

The Sandstone Caves

Once a haven to miners and prospectors, the Sandstone Caves are littered with precious stones – and the broken bones of the foolish who have tried to take them!

The Sandstone Caves are designed for characters level 20 to 25. It fills in content for this level range, providing more unique fun and adventure for those brave enough to battle the dangers the sandy rocks provide.


Delve into the new Towne and numerous adventure areas.

Complete a series of quests as you explore.

Face new and unique monsters and Bosses.

Outfit your would-be miner with all new weapons, armor and items.

The Sandstone Caves will be available the first week of May in the Pocket Legends Store for 10 Platinum.

Check in with us over the coming days and follow us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pocketlegends) and Twitter (http://twitter.com/pocketlegends) - we will have more details about the Sandstone Caves to share!

Btw i can already tell bossing is going to take forever, golems will tank sooooo much!!!!!
Edit: not sure if its going to be 25-30, it saids 55-60 before

Yes, this is a level 20-25 campaign like the Lost Expedition.

Well it says it's designed for characters lvl 20-25. Would be odd to have a 55-60 map that lvl 20-25 can defeat.

Thats weird, I heard from one of the devs, I think asommers that the next campaign would likely be free...correct me if im wrong:(

Would have at least been nice to have it as a free bonus for those of us who bought the "main spine" in the past. Especially since many of us don't even have characters meant for this level anymore. I won't be buying it.

Yeah Les I just thought about it, theres no point buying this unless if you need to lv, if you're new, want to farm the gear instead of buying, or just bored. I won't be buying this also.

looks cool, should let 25 and above to get some kind of xp in there... cuz even the weps we would get wouldnt be helpful, to use... yes we could farm for money.

just a thought

and to clarify great job, looks cool makes me what to lvl down to redo that area... lol joking.

Agreed. The problem with this game always going back and adding new content to lower levels, is that higher levels get 0 xp there. Most other games at least give a tiny bit for your time. But without it, I see no reason to buy it when I'm not planning to start a 4th char.

Corpser
04-26-2011, 10:29 PM
i will and ay even lvl a charecter to lvl 25 what i fear tho is lvl 25s being booted from this campain sad aint it?

anyway i think this will be extremly over farmed by lvl 50-56 wanting to get new loot.

imagine a lvl 50 being booted from a lvl 20-25 map for being to low.

04-26-2011, 11:04 PM
Its not a lvl cap raise just another place for lvl 20-25 to lvl. I imagine some high lvls will farm it if some weapons are rare. Will also be a place for twinks.

Arterra
04-26-2011, 11:08 PM
Now we have extra content for lv15-40, considering all the extra places like goblins, sandstone, frozen, and skeller...

sounds kool guess i can make a new character to play that with lol
prolly dex mage

Kindread
04-27-2011, 12:36 AM
I'm going to buy it even though i don't have a character to level there. Why? Because I love this game and love new items and I can't stand that there's any part of this great game is unavailable to me. It's 10 plat. That's like $1.20. I'm definitely cool with that.

braluk
04-27-2011, 12:48 AM
Sign me up. When I got this game, it wasn't to hit the absolute maximum level. It was to enjoy the different adventures, the interesting enemies/quests/items I encounter along the way, and to play with different groups of people with different playing styles. I'm 55, and finding the long haul to 56 monotonous, and not in line with what my goals (and I suspect most other players). So I'm excited for something new and can't wait to get the new maps!

04-27-2011, 01:07 AM
The new gear looks awesome! I have all my 4 chars above lvl 51 but I'll be buying it anyway :)

I've always purchased every new release whether I'd need it or not, and this is no exception. I'm so relieved it wasn't a lv cap raising one

04-27-2011, 02:12 AM
Looks pretty cool. :)

Will definitely love new content. :)

04-27-2011, 02:26 AM
It'll probably be accessible through the mine entrance in Shalerock Valley or whatever it is called connected to the Wyldwood.

i hope the lootable items are level depending! :)

Dev, I love this more than raising up the lvl cap! We can enjoy the game rather than lvling like working :/
Thanks dev, would there be a video introducing the new maps?

shmoo
04-27-2011, 04:27 AM
It can attract new players to PL as well. And makes me wanna level up my mage or bear... (probably the bear, so many mages in PL already...)

Looking forward to playing this! My dexmage won't gain experience there but is going to have a lot of fun on the quests I'm sure :)

Documented what I could glean from the screenshots on the wiki: http://pocketlegends.wikia.com/wiki/Sandstone_Caves and http://pocketlegends.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sandstone_Cave

Looks great, can't wait!

Time to introduce my second character and become lv 18-21 before this comes out. Then I will host runs and any player higher then level 25 will be booted for sure* :rolleyes:

*) Includes all non-friends. Friends will be urged to start a new character as well and be booted after one run. Succes guaranteed.

Good idea. But hopefully the drops won't cost a million coin to get. At lvl 25 is hard to save up that much lol

The next campaign that raises the level cap will more than likely be free.

It's not "main spine". The main spine campaign at this level is Glumdoll.

Yay, NEW gear L20-25. I sure hope there is a helm. I mean a pink one. There really aren't enough mage items in these levels, either. But one thing for certain, there will be pick-axes... there already are, but I bet there will be some better ones. Also, what about all the gem swords we get in Glumdoll and under the Sarcophagus? I bet there will be pink versions of each gem blade. Now that will be something worth collecting!

04-27-2011, 08:22 AM
Love it, its great to see some more quests. I uaually find myself completeing all quests in an area before I'm a high enough level to move on. So extra quests would be great.

Have you tried farming the Sarcophagus? Some real nice lvl 25 drops there, including pinks helms.

04-27-2011, 09:11 AM
That stass and crystal armor looks a lot better than all 55 gear combined but why the tiara again on elfs? Can't elfs get a decent head gear, I mean the founders helm looks great on bears, so-so on birds and meh on elfs (same one as MM or sewer with a different color palette).

Other than that I can't wait to get in there maybe make a 25 twink just for fun.

EDIT: wow elf with shoulder pads? this is very interesting.

I posted this in suggestions forum [ http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?25026-Ability-to-designate-any-item-as-a-vanity-(with-sample-pic) ] but I'll post a quick blurb here. I hope that devs come up with something to allow us (or perhaps allow us to pay for it) to equip any equipment that we own (and can also use) as vanity items. The number of players reaching 50+ is pretty remarkable and things are getting a little stale at the top- just repetition over and over again. For this map, I know of several 50+'s who probably won't purchase the maps (I call their bluff though), but I think being able to equip some of the new stuff as vanity items would be kind of cool. Here's a picture I designed to illustrate what I was talking about. Also makes vanity function actually kind of useful and brings some life back into throwaway items. It'd be pretty neat to actually take advantage and use items from these maps (and an incentive to buy them) instead of the whole rush the map for the first week and try to sell off items for ridiculous prices.
