Hathaway, the Chamberlain
Hathaway adds chests to your Intel Tasks. The higher the rank, the more chests each task gives and the higher the daily cap.
| Rank | Total shards | Chests per task | Daily cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 1 | 5 |
| 6 | 35 | 2 | 10 |
| 11 | 85 | 3 | 15 |
| 16 | 185 | 4 | 20 |
| 21 | 385 | 4 (premium chests) | 25 |
| 26 | 585 | 5 (premium chests) | 30 |
The "Chamberlain Hathaway" event lasts 60 days: one free chest a day, plus 3 Intel Chests set aside each day for up to 40 days. These chests don't count toward the daily cap.
Unclaimed Intel Chests roll over to the next day, up to 300: no need to open everything daily, but don't wait too long. The "premium chests" at ranks 4 and 5 are Deluxe Intel Chests.
Derian, the Master-at-Arms
Derian raises the attack of all your heroes and your march size.
