    With your persistent posts and updates I’m giving the game another try.

    Any starting tips? Also can I earn those characters that cost gems? I can’t see anywhere to buy anything yet.

    Hi, try to get a second grey hero fast. If you have time to play, use a mercenary stone to summon one... he is strong, stays for 3 hours and don't need to heal. Use the mission and artisan tickets when you have time to play and speed up progress... they are regular drops in Heroes and Merchants.

    The green heroes can be bought with jewels. You earn them from adventures, daily tasks, daily rewards, chests, duels ...

    This is by far my favorite game of this genre - been playing full-time for a while now. Active dev and if you need a guild just ping me once you get started - my name is Xerxian in game.

    Indeed we don't have any IAPs in Heroes and Merchants and all ads are voluntary with small rewards.

    The long-awaited Adventure Update (V. 2.0.9) for iOS and Android is available now. Three dangerous new enemies await you in the narrow corridors of the dungeon and block your way to your prey and the safe exit.

    Fights against:

    1. the horned demon who, in addition to his regular attack, has the special ability to make your skills ineffective.

    2. the centaur, who has bleeding damage in addition to his standard attack.

    3. the skeleton mage who, in addition to his regular attack, has the ability to slow you down.
    A further 25 have now been added to the already existing 25 adventures. Only the strongest and bravest heroes can survive in these adventures!

    The big adventure-event starts next weekend! Find the gold hidden in the dungeon and get additional special rewards!

    In addition, a news function has been added to this update, which informs about the achievements and milestones of the players in the chat.

    It is displayed when players:

    1. reach a new area

    2. reach a new duel rank

    3. reach difficulty level 5, 10, 15, ... in the adventure

    4. develop a particularly strong (blue) hero

    5. create an epic item of particularly high quality (over 3000 points) or a set item at the artisan.
    The upcoming major update will introduce the tavern, where you can pick up special missions and play mini-games while the heroes are on missions.

    Your ideas are very welcome.

    Have fun with Heroes and Merchants!

    Another big update has been released. Heroes and Merchants V2.1.1 introduces the tavern. This functionality has been discussed together with the community about three month ago. You can do special tasks and play "Fish Head" a medieval dice game. You can earn tavern token from tasks and "Fish Head" games which can be spent on new bags for earning additional loot.

    In addition we introduced a speach bubble system pointing new players to the existing in-game help.

    Have fun with the new version and Merry Christmas!

    A lot has happened in the last few months and Heroes and Merchants has received many updates. A large part of these were requests from the community, which made playing much easier in order to save on actions. In addition, the tutorial has been revised to give a good overview of the depth of the game in a short time.

    After 4.5 years it was also time to switch to new server hardware. Now that everything has changed and the game has moved, we would like to celebrate the successful move with gifts for all players and newly interested players with a promotion code: SPRING23
