EPIX Loot Detector - P2W for extra quests and experience, costs 2.49 EUR. The quests marked with 🤑 can be completed only if you bought this (you will probably need to find the answers alone, since I am against P2W hence I will not be able to solve them)

Does anybody know what the advantage is to be allied with someone?

It seems if I use a link from someone who had already used my link, they move from the "recruited" tab to the "allies".

Gone through all the links here and found all of my "recruits" except for the user "Kubale".
