How the tribute works

The quota

Ring the bell and the dragon takes every sword in the window. If their combined value reaches the day's quota, the tribute is paid. Either way, the full value comes back to you as gold.

Three strikes

A short payment angers the dragon one stage and the next delivery is thrown at you. The third failure ends the run, unless Dragon's Pardon is on the shelf: it vanishes and puts you back at two.

After May 5

Reaching the end of day 21 with fewer than three failures clears the contract, even if that last payment fell short. You can keep forging: the quota then grows by 20% a day.

Shop odds are the chance each relic slot rolls common, rare or legendary that day. Achievement and masterwork relics only enter the pool once unlocked, on the day shown.
