@georgio1000 Go to your inventory tab, then select your desired character. Below the character's feet you will find a button called 'Cosmetics.' Click it, and equip the cosmetic just as you would a normal piece of gear.
Wear them well, sir! Rise of Cosmetics.
Rebirthed more than a handful of times at level 100-120 idle/active and I pretty much hate myself right now. Soooooooooo much of my life drained. About 16 hours of active play, there is little ability to progress except to repeat the same thing over and over again, since upgrades don't scale properly with game difficulty. End-game needs work, big time. Other than that, the first 3-4 hours were really enjoyable. Final total levels gained: 1771
@ShaDarkmare You get 1 ticket every 4 hours, continually until you reach 4, then they stop regenerating automatically. There isn't any real need to have more than what is given for free. Most only play the story once or twice through over a long period of time. Its only a minor part of the overall game. After the first week or two of playing, you'll only ever re-visit story mode for daily-tasks or if there is a new one from an update.
You get 3 free diamonds per week, for daily login bonuses on the 7th day. On the rare special occasion, such as Christmas, the developer might drop some special torch code :) Otherwise, you can do free third-party kongregate offers to earn some kredits which can then be turned into diamonds.
@BBGUN5, Glad you're enjoying the game, the golem is fast because it is fighting 1v4. It is outnumbered, so the speed helps to make it unable to be perma-stunned as easily, and still stand a chance. Some of the story modes / challenge boss fights are a bit tougher to give you some strategy needed, or perhaps a higher level to easily conquer them. :)
@TheBigBadFish, Skulls are used for brawling, which is open for the entry cost of 10 skulls for 30 minutes, every 3 hours. Guild brawls and normal brawls alternate each time.

(Apologies for triple post - darn character limit of 1000.)
@fhhuber, The rewards for paying real currency are very minor. They are almost all entirely convenience or cosmetic features which have little effect on ones power ability unless extremely large figures are invested. Even then, advantages are minor. Just because there is a temporary event with bonuses for developer support through donations, it does not mean that those who choose to donate are at some serious advantage that will put others in a handicapped state.
@Sylon, Appearance customization is something that one player might crave, while the next, not so much. If you didn't notice, there is an option to VISUALLY remove all headgear from you and your opponents, allowing you to see their faces fully. Nothing wrong with the developer to allow preference among players.
@Those of you who are asking about PvE, There is certainly PvE, especially as you progress later at higher tiers where there is a smaller pool of PvP opponents. The single match queue will generally match you with a player within your level or tier (+1-1) if they too are queueing at the same time. If they do not queue within a short time period, you will be matched with AI. Later you can encounter streaks of 20+AI in a row at higher tiers. Story mode also allows you to fight strictly AIs for the cost of 1 free ticket which is given to you every 4 hours, with a max holding capacity of 4. There are other ways to acquire tickets, through daily spins, daily rewards, and Torch Codes which can be found on the facebook/twitter pages. The reason that there is no FORCE AI option, is that it would make significantly easier the illegal act of botting, and running macros, as well as players who simply want to farm and avoid PvP, the heart of this turn-based competitive game.
@densch You join a guild by copy pasting your Kong ID on the guild page to a guild leader... there are many guild leaders on Kongregate chat, just ask to join a guild there, if you're lucky one will be online needing members. They prefer lvl 12+ and wish for you to donate gold regularly. With your attitude though, I doubt any guild leader would want you in their guild anyways. Good luck though. :)
SERIOUSLY?! He changed the date of his last post so that it wouldn't say (2 days ago) but now it says (10 minutes ago).
@BLOOROTH (Developer)
That is so low, no explanation of progress, no replies to my PM's on Kong mail, and little respect for supporters of this game by repeatedly delaying a heavily needed end-game update without reason aside from, "I couldn't find the time, sorry :S." That is not a professional way of handling things as a game developer. Despite this being a simple flash game and many players being of a younger audience, you are not entitled with the right to treat them poorly. There is some level of maturity needed if you desire to upload a game on a website such as this, which quite obviously at this point you are lacking.
Dude, i didn't changed the date of post - it's impossible btw, i think that this is kongregate bug or smth. I don't know why date has been changed. I have real life and needed to do imporant thing. I'm trying to update game only when i have some free time...Anyway updates are very often...i think..

You only have a small time period before this game is lost to time, why are you wasting it by not putting out these essential updates. This could be great.
Heres a guide I've written that you should all read if you desire to become good at this game: http://www.scribd.com/doc/222704371/Sands-of-the-Coliseum-Advanced-Guide-Lvl-50
Wall of Fire spell does not show decreased cooldown time in the skill page. This could easily be fixed! Its a little misleading, making you think that the spell does not receive any decreased cooldown time when in reality, it does in-game.
I really wish we had more slots for spells along the top... it would make the game more interesting. It would also be nice if there were more spells in general.. perhaps 1 more for each 'element' because the upgrades are pretty linear. It would be nice if we could make the talent display tree's a slightly smaller size, and add 1 more row to each tree. I dont know, it just feels a little too predictable. I'd like to have to choose between branching off into other skills rather than basically having a set path. Just me being picky is all.
Perhaps, JWOLFGAMES, some more spells could be added? Or would we have to wait for a second installment of this game? If you dont wish to decrease the size of each skill on the tree... add a scroll bar! This way the game will be alot more interesting. Its kinda silly to basically have maxed out trees with not enough spell slots to use what we unlock.
Thanks!
Well, the reason there's only 5 slots is to keep the balance in Campaign Mode where there is in fact a level cap. We wanted players to come up with their own builds and skill sets that they liked using, and we also wanted players to figure out which ones were appropriate for certain times and swap them for others. A small bit of strategy, I suppose! Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be adding too many more huge updates to the game except for bug fixes and a couple smaller features. Adding new spells would take a long time, time that I wouldn't be compensated for unfortunately, and this is my full-time job. There is a possibility we'll be doing a sequel that will have a lot of the suggestions you and others have made! Regardless, hope you enjoyed your time with the game! Thanks for the feedback!
WHOA. Guys, press the Up arrow key to rank up IMMEDIATELY.
Alternatively, press the Down arrow key to kill yourself LOL...
Is this a huge bug..? Not meant to be in the real game..? Or is this meant to be a hidden secret to win easy?!?
Oh dang! Just fixed this :) Those controls are debugging controls I use to test out certain fixes I add to the game to make it a lot faster of a process! Looks like I may have left them active in the build you played, so thanks for discovering it! So yea, not a secret but not something players should be able to use (and won't be able to on the newest update, now live). Thanks!
@Power2Firearms
Percentages do not actually represent true values. This is very easily demonstrated by facing an enemy with high defense. 100 dex vs 500 defense, you will never make contact. Ever. Not even once. But what does the percentage say for hit probability? 50%.
