March of the Tortodrones!
Wed, 02/26/2014 - 13:09
Attention, knights!
As you may recall, tortodrones disappeared from the Clockworks a long time ago and, apart for some stray shells here and there, they have not been seen by the Spiral Order for quite some time. Investigations into the cause were inconclusive, but Spiral HQ suspects fiends are somehow involved.
Now, the tortodrones are being called on the Long Migration. Even the Strangers do not know the reasons for this mysterious event but these giant, robotic tortoises can be glimpsed traveling through the clockworks.
Spiral HQ has new intel that fiends are gathering tortodrone parts and reassembling them. That can't be good...right? Scout the Clockworks for fiends to gather intel and fiendish glyphs. Investigate the Ancient Grove and put a stop to their nefarious activities!
Be sure to visit the mysterious alchemy machine to craft new shields. Crafted from tortodrone shell, these 3*, 4* and 5* shields will be a great aid to your missions into the Clockworks. You will need to collect Ancient Shell materials from the Ancient Grove to craft these shields.

NEW INTEL!
Sorry knights. Looks like a Devil-IT got loose in the office and hacked the Tortodrone mission. You were doing so well thwarting their plans they decided to strike back!
The mission will be turned back on tomorrow after the game update, and it will remain for several days. We're sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for being patient while we set off some Scintillating Sun Shards to get rid of the infestation.
Knights,
The Strangers say the Long Migration should be coming to an end. However, the tenacious fiends are still creating machines of mass destruction from tortodrone parts. Spiral HQ was able to reconstruct data from several computer parts dropped by fiends in the clockworks. Intel indicates they now plan to cease their operations on March 12th!
