2 min readAug 7, 2023

Greetings, Dalarnians!

The Astrolab Competitions continue to evolve, bringing you daring challenges and unprecedented surprises week after week! Our commitment to keeping the excitement alive remains unwavering, and this week is no exception. Prepare yourselves for another exhilarating encounter with our new anomaly: Quicksilver Slugs!

In the Quicksilver Slugs Anomaly, be ready to witness a complete transformation of the mines where regular slugs have been swapped out with quicksilver slugs, adding a whole new layer of intensity to the competition. Brace yourselves, as twice as many slugs will now swarm the depths, testing your reflexes, and adaptability like never before.

This week’s anomaly demands swift reactions and a keen eye for survival. These elusive creatures dart through the darkness with unparalleled speed, making them formidable adversaries.

Do you have what it takes to face the Quicksilver Slugs head-on and emerge triumphant?

As we continue to enhance and evolve the competitions, we also want to inform you of an upcoming change regarding the prize pools. Starting this week, we will be reducing the prize pools for the competitions to 250 $DAR.

Note that this is a temporary solution until we analyze data regarding cheaters. We have seen your feedback to shut down competitions until we find out the possible issue. We have thought about it heavily, and the decision wasn’t easy. However, we’ve decided that a better approach here will be just reducing the bonus prize pool for the time being. This way, players can still practice their skills in competitions, have a chance to win something, and have fun with the recently introduced anomalies.
