Discovering the Shuffles Past

by Chaz Hamilton

Ever since the first cave was found millennia ago, the urge for exploration found a home in our species. Soon after, the first treasure was discovered after a favorite bone axe or stash of food was uncovered from its hiding place. Sunken vessels, sacred tombs, money pits, and millions of other plunders sites became the X on someone's map. 

Now, our heroes have the opportunity to claim long lost items to their inventory as the 12 Days of Christmas: Shuffles Past has begun. Useful gear long thought lost can now be obtained and added to a heroes arsenal for fighting villainy, or one another. 

The question on everyone's minds: What's behind these doors?

First off, there are new items already available on Nova's Mystery Shuffle. These are all gear items previously available to win, but thought lost to players for all time once removed.

Are they all good? As with most shuffle gear, they could each be useful if equipped at the proper time, but some are more potent than others. What is good is the red button shown at the bottom of their card. For the first time, there is an option to be able to select the piece of gear in exchange for collectable tokens In fact, all the items in the shuffle are available to be selected and purchased with Exchange Tokens available to win on the Nova's s Mystery Shuffle. From 3 tokens up to 6 tokens in price, players have an option to shop.

For the holiday season, there is an option to gain 3 of these Exchange Tokens by purchasing a Special Package Deals on Morphons that come with varying Power Cards. These deals can be found under the Morphon tab on the main taskbar. This makes for a good opportunity to get a head start at picking a piece of shuffle gear that you particularly want to gain.

Each day, one door will open and a new piece of long-lost gear will become available and one will fade away once more, becoming available only to those with Exchange Tokens during the limited time of the 12 day event.

Take advantage of this with fore-thought, though. Don't spend your hard-saved Morphons all the first day. Watch for items that suit your builds if possible.  Each day will present a new, exciting possibility to make your character mightier that ever before.

I hope everyone continues to enjoy this holiday season, as there are still two more events to look forward to after the 12 Days of Christmas: Shuffles Past ends. Next week begins the Secret Santa Event, so get your gifts ready.
