Idle Clans news & patch notes

Combat loadouts

• Combat loadouts have been added! These are separate from the existing loadouts and can be accessed from the combat tab
  • The Combat loadouts upgrade is required to access combat loadouts
    • You can create up to 50 loadouts and assign specific loadouts to specific enemies
    • Single tier purchase
    • Costs 10m gold
    • Requires a Health level of at least 75
  • When you've assigned loadouts to enemies you're fighting, combat loadouts are automatically equipped during all types of combat, online or offline. Same as task loadouts, automatic combat loadout equipping requires having the existing Auto loadout token unlocked
• Adding a cosmetic effect to an item will no longer make it unequippable in loadouts. Applies to both combat and skilling loadouts

Clan changes

• Clan vault improvements
  • To better secure and manage your clan vault without having to be as selective with who you give vault access to, the clan vault has been split into different tiers. This allows clans to organise their items by value or importance, and restrict access to higher tiers for only their most trusted members
    • Existing vault items have automatically been placed into tier 1. Anyone who previously had vault access retains access to tier 1, so nothing changes until you start using these new tiers
    • Both the leader and deputy leaders can grant clan members access to different tiers, but deputy leaders cannot grant access beyond their own tier
    • Beyond the first tier, you cannot deposit items into a tier higher than your own access level
    • When sending items to the vault, you now have an option to choose which tier it goes into
    • Items can be moved between tiers by interacting with them in the vault
  • Multi-select has been added to the clan vault to allow you to withdraw and move multiple items at once
• A small new popup has been added to manage clan members instead of having the clan related buttons scattered in the player profile popup

Group ironman changes

• Group ironmen are now able to leave their clan and join another. This comes with heavy penalties and is generally discouraged - the goal after all is to stay with your initial group indefinitely. We're very aware that circumstances change and activity in groups often varies greatly, so we want to offer a way to continue playing your GIM if you find yourself in a position where your group is no longer a good fit for you. To keep things fair in the game mode, you cannot move items between clans. The only thing you'll keep when moving between clans are your levels, enchantments and token unlocks. More details below
  • When you leave a clan, you will lose everything but the aforementioned progress. The clan you're leaving is able to claim the items you've given up.
  • You don't lose anything when you're kicked from a clan. At this point, you have 2 options. Create a new clan and keep your items and start a new group from scratch. If you opt to join an existing clan, you will lose all of the aforementioned progress
  • When you join a clan, you can't leave or be kicked from it for 14 days
  • If you leave the clan after 14 days, you'll be put on a cooldown before you can join another clan. This cooldown starts at 2 weeks and doubles every time you leave a clan. There's no cap on this, so you'll essentially lock yourself out of the game mode if you leave too many clans
    • There's no cooldown when leaving your first clan, to allow existing GIM players to regroup
  • Kicking a player does not put them on an additional cooldown
  • You can never re-join a clan that you've once been in
• The "pristine" rank has been added to GIM clans
  • Every GIM clan is pristine by default
  • Visible in your clan page, clan recruitment page and leaderboards
  • Adding a player to your clan that has been in a previous clan breaks your pristine rank. You'll be notified and asked of confirmation if you're accepting a player into the clan that would break your pristine rank
  • To ensure that clans don't accidentally break their pristine, players who would break the pristine rank can't accept an invitation to a pristine clan. They'll need to send an application and be accepted. This is to ensure that you don't run into a situation where you invite a player that wouldn't break your pristine at the time of sending the invitation but would at the time of accepting it
  • The rank is purely visual and doesn't have an impact on gameplay in any way
• Group ironmen are now able to play the game without being in a clan. This means that you can now start playing new group ironman characters as you normally would before you're in a clan
• Group ironmen previously skipped the tutorial due to the restrictive nature of the game mode and requiring you to be in a clan before you can do anything. No more, group ironmen now have the option to complete the tutorial as well
• Added an informative popup about the Group Ironman game mode. It contains information on the game mode in general, leave restrictions/penalties as well as your clan history and future penalties if you were to leave or be kicked from your clan. This popup is shown on login once and accessible via the top right menu any time after
• Fixed group ironman issues caused from being accepted to a clan whilst offline

Character management

• To make it more difficult to accidentally create multiple master accounts and get your characters mixed up between them, when logging in with a provider that isn't linked to any master account, you'll be told of it and asked for confirmation to proceed
• Attempting to import characters that were already linked to another account would show the incorrect error message
• You can now unlink your only log-in method if the account has no characters linked to it. This will delete the master account and allow the log-in method to be connected to another account
• There were a few scenarios that could cause you to unnecessarily get logged out and even have your saved login credentials erased. Fine for most registered master accounts, it would just require you to reauthenticate. Terrible for guest users as they'd have no way to access their account without any connected log-in methods. These cases should now be handled better
• Logging out from a guest account no longer clears your guest login info from device

Other

• Experience received from tasks is no longer rounded
• Every button in the game that has a scaling effect on mouse hover now scales the same amount
• There's now a 10s cooldown when removing a character from character selection before you can confirm the action
• Fixed tasks with active cost modifiers not being startable without having the base requirements (for example, you'd need gold to start a Carpentry task even if you had fully unlocked the Plank Bargain upgrade)
• Fixed confirmation popups requiring double confirmation not automatically closing on the second confirmation
• The task stats popup now tells you the time required to max experience for skills at max level
• BMM enemies no longer get partially hidden on some resolutions
• Fixed an issue that caused some users to be unable to start an AFK raid even having the afk raid token unlocked and with a solo raid completion
• There were a few combat and plundering scenarios that could lead to your inventory getting desynced. Fixed
• Clan leadership handovers now use the timer feature of the confirmation popup to prevent accidents
• You can now click yourself in chat to view your public profile
• Android and iOS builds now have native update checking and update prompting
• Some usernames on some resolutions would get hidden in the character selection menu. Fixed
• Fixed an issue with auto quest moving from daily to weekly sometimes going idle. Another related bug was fixed in a recent update, this solves another scenario that slipped by then

Our account management system went live yesterday with great success As expected, there were also things that needed fixing and tweaking. Here's what has changed since yesterday:

• Registering a master account by email will now immediately open up character management with your new account so that you don't accidentally leave the registration menu and register another account using a different log-in method and get your accounts mixed up

• Added an email confirmation input field to the registration view

• You'll no longer automatically be logged into a newly created character if you create the character from the game scene whilst already logged into a character

• You can no longer switch to a recently created character whilst already logged into another character. When logging onto a character for the first time, it needs to happen from the main menu

• Resetting your password in the main menu now initiates password recovery for legacy accounts as well

• Added a "Forgot password?" button to the legacy character import panel

• Accounts on very old save files (accounts that have not logged on in years) wouldn't be correctly picked up by the name checker during character registration, meaning that the name checker could incorrectly tell you that a username is available when it was in fact taken

• Accounts that hadn't been accessed since game modes were a thing (late 2023) could be imported to a master account but wouldn't be visible in the character management view, as the system failed to assign them a game mode. Fixed

• Guest accounts can no longer import characters until they secure their account with a log-in method

• Fixed a niche character state issue causing a few users unable to properly access their character management

This one has been a long time coming! No more email management for each of your characters, just a single master account to manage all of your characters across all game modes.

• New log-in options for Steam and Discord. You can link any amount of providers you choose to

• Existing characters can be linked to a new master account with the press of a button, provided that they are saved to your device and appear in the "Saved accounts" section on the left of the main menu in the live version of the game

• Guest onboarding improved

  • You'll no longer be given a guest name if your initially proposed name is unavailable. You'll get to keep choosing until you find an available name that you're happy with

  • There is no longer a "guest mode" inside the game, meaning that all game features are available to guest characters. You'll keep getting reminded that you don't have any authentication methods on every log-in and you won't be able access guest accounts on other devices until you secure the account

• Once you have a master account (and you leave the "Remember me" options toggled on), you'll no longer be prompted to log in or create a new account again in future sessions. You'll automatically be logged in and entered into character management. Should make the login process smoother as well as prevent users from accidentally making multiple master accounts. This also helps us and the user in enforcing game mode character count limits

• You can now enter character selection and switch characters from the game scene without needing to log out

• You'll also find a news feed in the main menu and character management to inform you of the latest happenings in Idle Clans

• More robust email registration with verification to make sure that you don't end up creating an account with an incorrectly typed email

• TOTP two-factor authentication to secure your master account

• Phone number 2FA is now obsolete

Migrating old accounts to the new system

Today is Idle Clans's 3rd birthday and our usual Birthday event has started! Here's how it works

• Global experience boost that starts at 2% and goes up to 25%

• The event has a temporary currency, balloons, which can be bought with either gold or from the game shop. You can also find it from opening chests and killing Valley of the Gods bosses

• Balloons can be donated to the communal balloon supply. All donated balloons are pooled together and as we reach new thresholds, the global experience boost rises

• The event experience bonus isn't directly credited to you as you receive experience - instead, it's added to the Event experience bank, which can be accessed from the Birthday event popup. If you have any unclaimed experience after the event has ended, it'll be automatically credited to you on your next login

• The first phase of the event runs for a week. Afterwards, balloons can no longer be donated and the supply will start decreasing at a steady rate - either 50M or 1% of the current supply per hour, whichever is higher. You'll continue receiving bonus experience until the supply has fully drained out

As usual, at the end of the event, the top 30 donors will be eligible for the respective holiday event role on Discord. Thanks a ton for being here with us throughout this journey! Much has changed, but we're still only getting started. Here's to many more years of Idle Clans!

• Raised High Shaman's drop rate of Occult pet collar from 40% to 100%
• Chance of receiving Lil' archaeologist from daily quests now raises with quest difficulty
• Tweaked Invocation weekly quest level requirements, there were a few levels where you couldn't be assigned weekly Invocation quests at all
• Fixed an issue with Invocation quests causing quest auto-completion to fail
• Fixed an issue causing you Invocation tasks to not automatically restart after doing clan events
• Enchanting without the premium rank. Prior to our latest update, non-Premium players weren't able to train the skill at all. You're now able to train it up to level 30, but as that only meant using 2 enchantment scrolls, things felt a bit clunky
  • You'll now be able to continue enchanting your silver jewelry even after hitting the non-premium level cap, you just won't receive experience for it
  • You'll now receive an error message when attempting to read enchantment scrolls at level cap, rather than a lengthy loading screen without proper feedback
• The daily boost pause cooldown was raised from 3 to 10 minutes in consideration of our new long running tasks
• Fixed Lil' archaeologist not receiving experience during offline progress for explorations where an item reward wasn't received
• Fixed Lil' archaeologist not using gold from your coffer when offline
• Fixed Valley of the Gods runs continuing to run in some instances where they shouldn't have been allowed to
• Fixed Invocation capes having incorrect skill requirements to purchase (still couldn't equip them without the correct Invocation level requirement)
• You'll no longer receive obsidian ore in Reckoning of the Gods
• Fixed Crafting tasks in Guardians of the Citadel not working properly
• Fixed a visual bug capping non-premium players to level 30 in combat skills
• Fixed Completionist capes not being purchasable
• Added missing localizations for French
• Fixed a visual issue with Invocation loadout selection
• Fixed clan upgrades not being instantiated when creating a new clan until you left and returned to the clan page

This update we're getting a new skill and 7 existing skills are receiving new content!

Any unclaimed experience you may have from Valentine's event will be claimed when you log into the game after the update. Our birthday event will also launch in two weeks on the 7th of April. Hard to believe it has already been 3 years.

Onto the update!

Invocation

Invocation introduces a new skill to level and dozens of new rewards to discover. At its core, the skill is designed to be an ongoing gold and item sink, helping stabilize our economy by removing gold and items from circulation and giving value to items that otherwise have limited utility. You of course won't only be sacrificing your gold and items for experience, there are also a bunch of new rewards you'll be able to get in return.

Invocation is trained in 2 parts.

Part 1: Archaeological Sites

Look for ancient relics in different archaeological sites. These sites aren't free to use -each action costs some gold, increasing with the level requirements of archaeological sites.

• Consistent and predictable experience rates

• Relics drop on average every few hours

• The gold for these tasks is taken from a separate gold coffer, giving you a new place to store your gold. The coffer has capacity to hold 2B gold. To start training Invocation, you must add gold to your coffer.

Part 2: Rituals

Relics discovered from archaeological sites can be used to perform rituals. On top of the relic requirement, they also require Ritual Power. Ritual Power is gained from sacrificing items to the void, with low base value items offering the highest Ritual Power per gold.

A few randomly selected items for demonstration.

Item

Base Value

Ritual Power

Spruce log

6

15

Meteorite ore

105

199

Titanium platebody

15,600

8,653

Items can also individually be given Ritual Power multipliers to create artificial demand for specific categories.

• Each performed ritual gives a hefty amount of Invocation experience

• Performing a ritual will summon an ancient spirit that takes you into battle. Each relic has 3 different spirits it can summon with varying odds, and each spirit has different item rewards

• Performing rituals is fully AFK. After beginning a ritual, you'll automatically perform subsequent ones until you end combat or run out of relics. Works offline as well

Modifiers & Boosts

• Enchantment scrolls - Invocation enchantment scrolls are immediately available with the update, obtainable from chests as you'd expect. Enchanting your jewelry with Invocation scrolls will increase the speed at which you complete archaeological site tasks

• Weekly and daily quests - Daily quests will have you investigate archaeological sites and weekly quests have you perform rituals. Both have a chance of dropping the new pet as well as relics to be used in rituals

• Pet: Lil' Archaeologist - Low chance of dropping from daily and weekly quests. Can complete archaeological site tasks for experience and relics

• Invocation tickets & skilling party events are immediately available. Gloves give you a 5% chance to double all received relics

• The archaeological brush can be plundered from the newest plundering task, Archaeological society. The toolbelt upgrade has received a new tier to accommodate the new tool

Same as Exterminating, Completionist capes won't require Invocation until it has been in the game for a year (April 1 2027). The date new skills starts being enforced is now mentioned in Completionist cape descriptions as well.

New tasks

Fishing: Sea Serpent (Level requirement: 110)

Catch sea serpents, which can be cooked to make them edible or processed into scales via the Crafting skill. Scales are a required ingredient in a new potion. Does not provide better experience per hour than Bloodmoon eel (no task costs), but does provide more experience than fishing tuna.

Cooking: Sea Serpent (Level requirement: 105)

Sea serpent heals 20 health when cooked.

Mining: Obsidian Ore (Level requirement: 95)

New best experience per hour in the skill, but generates less raw gold compared to titanium as the resulting item base values are lower.

Smithing: Tempered Obsidian (Level requirement: 95 - smelting tab)

Requires obsidian ore. Beats previous smelting tasks in experience per hour, excluding Astronomical and Otherworldly bars.

Crafting - 5 New Tasks

Obsidian arrow (Level requirement: 95)

• Daily boosts bonus experience now applies to Exterminating

• All holiday event exp bonuses now cap at 25%, up from 20%

Other

• Experience received in combat and a few other places used to be calculated by the client to keep common packets small. This has been moved server-side to reduce error-proneness, fix small desyncs, and allow spontaneous changes (e.g. bonus experience weekends) without requiring client updates. Things shouldn't appear any different, but please verify combat experience is being correctly tracked across all sources

• Niche fix: Displayed experience gain of other players in clan experience events was sometimes inaccurate - now fixed

• Fixed an issue with sessions sometimes not fully clearing when logging out, causing you to be unable to relog for a few minutes afterwards

• Received cooking experience with the Keep it burning upgrade is now displayed in the offline progress popup

• Some item icons were slightly misaligned. Every icon is now the exact same size, uses the same metadata and compression. Build size reduced slightly as a result

• Task pages slightly modified to make spacing consistent

• Your input is now formatted for easier reading in the item interaction and item send popups

• The event donate button now uses the inventory item interaction popup for consistency

• Fixed a visual bug in farming time estimates in the task stats popup

• Achievements

  • Fixed item creation achievements not triggering if you ran out of materials during the action that should've given you an achievement

  • Fixed the "Join clan" and "Create clan" achievements not triggering. Will work retroactively for existing clans

  • "Delicious, unhealthy fast food" can now trigger from offline progress

• Enchantment scrolls all had a base sell value of 500. Common scrolls are now valued at 1k, rare 2.5k, exceptional 5k

• Auto completing quests should no longer put you idle when the task you were doing before starting an auto-questing run was the same task that the auto-questing run ended on

• Your selected item when creating a player market offer can now be hovered

• Earrings were graphically tweaked to remove some noise and slightly reposition them. Looked strange especially with a cosmetic effect applied to them. This change may not show up on mobile builds initially

Our 2026 Valentine's bonus experience event has begun!

Here's how it works

• The event experience bonus isn't directly credited to you as you receive experience - instead, it's added to the Event experience bank, which can be accessed from the Valentine's event popup. If you have any unclaimed experience after the event has ended, it'll be automatically credited to you on your next login

• When the event time runs out, flowers can no longer be donated and the supply will start decreasing at a steady rate - either 50M or 1% of the current supply per hour, whichever is higher. You'll continue receiving bonus experience until the supply has fully drained out

As usual, at the end of the event, the top 30 donors will be eligible for the @2026 Valentine's benefactor on Discord.

Hope you enjoy the event, and make sure to do something nice for your loved ones this weekend!

Hello everyone!

It has been almost 3 years since the release of Idle Clans and the game has developed quite well, but there have been things that held us back from significantly ramping things up. This update aims to address those issues. It's a monster of an update behind the scenes and it took much longer to complete than usual updates do, so I apologize for the unusually long length between updates this time around.

The biggest thing to tackle was our back-end infrastructure, which wasn't designed from the start to scale very well. Idle Clans started out as a side project I worked on for fun with no expectations of anyone playing it, so scalability wasn't something I concerned myself with too much. Luckily, the back-end infrastructure has been robust enough until now but it has forced me to be pretty modest about our growth as there would've eventually come a point where the infrastructure just couldn't support the growing player base anymore. I've held this off or a long time since I knew the required changes would take a long time to do and that would be time not spent on making content that you can actually see and feel. But, it was something that had to happen, and I'm very happy that we're done with it. Things are now significantly more modular and scalable and we should be able to accommodate any number of players that come our way.

Another thing I spent a lot of time on was the UI and UX in the game. I hope you'll find things more responsive, more pleasant to look at and easier to navigate. This is an on-going project but a lot has changed already.

With things looking better on both the back- and front-end, I'll soon be looking to move us away from early access on Steam. All of our growth has been fully organic until now and I'm going to start experimenting with real marketing this year and see where it takes us. I'm hoping to host some fun community competitions and activities as we head into full release on Steam to build some hype there. What exactly those will look like, I don't know yet. I'll get back to you on those.

As said, this is a massive update and it touches more core systems than any other update before it. I would be very pleasantly surprised if nothing caught fire - but I fully expect there to be some issues, so please bare with me over the next few days as we settle into our new infrastructure and ensure everything works as intended.

Let's get into the changes. There's a few.

Visible changes stemming from the new multi-server infrastructure

• There's a now server selection menu at the bottom left of the main menu. You shouldn't need to interact with this as the recommended server is automatically selected for you, but you are able to switch servers here if that's something you want to do

• To do group content with other players, you'll need to be on the same server as them. When being invited to group content you'll be prompted to transfer to the inviters server if you aren't on the same server. I've tried to make this as seamless as possible and I'm quite happy with the results, the server transfer should only take a few seconds and the accepted invitation will automatically process once you connect to the target server.

• Your selected server is remember and used as long as it remains available (not full)

• You'll now be able to see exactly how many players are online on Idle Clans at any given time

• Note that won't always be multiple servers available. A single server is able to handle the current load we get so we'll likely only be starting out with only our old and trusty one

Clans

• Clan experience no longer updates in real-time. Servers will record their progress and broadcast their recorded experience every few minutes

• When inviting your clan to do group content, the response now tells you how many members were invited

• You're now notified when a player declines a clan invitation

• Contributing to daily clan quests now only takes a single click and the entire required amount is contributed at once. You can't contribute if you don't have enough items to complete the quest

• Fixed your clan tag not being set in the corresponding input field in the Management tab even when you had a tag set

• Clan activity scores calculations have been modified to make it easier for low level clans to achieve high activity scores

• Clan page visual overhaul:

  • PvM stats button removed, PvM stats are now always on display

  • House moved from the property page to the landing page. Vault is now bigger and shows more items at once.

  • Member entries now show more information without needing to go through player profiles, such as active tasks and join dates

  • Changes to clan member entries sorting

    • Clan leaders are always shown at the top of the list (same as before)

    • Online members are shown next

    • Finally, offline members are sorted by their offline time

Item withdrawal box tweaks

• Ironmen and group ironmen previously didn't receive notifications when receiving tokens from other players. Everyone will now be notified when receiving any item from any player on any server

• The Item withdrawal box will now always show a notification on it when logging in if you have unclaimed items

• Due to some related optimizations, these changes aren't backwards compatible and you see a notification of items in your item withdrawal box up until this point. When you receive an item from a player for the first time from now, it'll start working as intended

Holiday events

• Ironmen and group ironmen can now receive and donate holiday currencies during events

• The holiday event button no longer sticks around for a hardcoded amount of time after an event ends but instead will be hidden when the supply reaches 0 (may require a relog)

• Holiday event ending stages should now be automatically announced on Discord by Idle Clans bot. The first one being when the event timer ends and the wind down phase begins and the second when the supply is fully depleted and the event fully ends

• The minimum holiday event donation amount is now 1 million

Clan cup

• Clan cup results are now broadcasted to Discord by Idle Clans Bot

• Winnings are no longer automatically credited to your clan at the end of a cup. Instead, you can now view your past winnings and claim them via the "Claimable rewards" button in the clan cup

• Fixed IM & GIM not receiving clan credits

API changes & fixes

• New endpoints have been added that show detailed information of how your clan and its members are performing

  • View how much experience your clan has gained in the past week, both total experience and experience in individual skills

  • Check how much experience individual players in your clan have received

  • Check how your clan is performing against other clans, either by total experience or a given skill

• Fixed the "IsRecruiting" toggle always defaulting to true in clan recruitment centre queries

• Fixed using the "Category" field causing no clans to be returned in clan recruitment centre queries

• Fixed a discrepancy in the rankings displayed in your leaderboards page vs your actual rank, caused by leaderboard profiles not handling tiebreakers correctly

Profile page

• Full overhaul in order to present more information in a neater and more compact way. A large range of tweaks but the more noticeable ones are:

  • Skills now have a small progress bar to easily see where you're standing. Additionally, at max level you'll now see your current experience compared to the experience cap. And finally, fully maxed skills (500m experience) have a distinctive orange progress bar

  • Objectives tile to easily see and interact with quests and clan events

  • Active boosts tile improved in looks and in clarity

  • You should now be able to click the "Current activity" bar during every activity. Additionally, your current activity's icon is now shown and there's a timer showing you how long you've been doing your current activity (resets on log out). When idle, your activity text is an ominous red to grab your attention

  • Shop unlocks renamed to "Token unlocks". Unlocked and missing tokens are now shown in a more informative way

Item hover popup

• Consistently used everywhere when hovering item icons anywhere in the game

• The item info layout was slightly tweaked as well:

  • Combat fields are now hidden if there are no relevant stat differences

  • Item description is now included

  • Now shows the amount you have of that item in your inventory

  • Player market price now includes the highest buy price and the lowest sell price

Combat page rework

• Displayed skills now use the same prefab as profile and clan skills for both consistency and to take up less space as the previous level entries were unnecessarily large

• UI placement in the combat view is now more intentional, more spaced out and more responsive to scaling

• Your displayed food at the bottom of the combat view is no longer limited

• Slightly modified the positioning of player and enemy elements and improved their animations on a technical level. This should also fix the issue where these elements can move around the screen from resolution changes

Combat entries in the combat menu

• Tweaked to be more compact, removed the attack speed text and we now hide stats if they're at default levels

• Every entry now has a DPS button, allowing you to more check how you'll fare against different enemies without needing to go into combat. You'll need to have killed bosses at least once to view their damage calcs against them outside of combat

• The Valley of Gods

  • The door has been graphically updated and now has 3 state dependent variations

  • Access text is now green if you have the required green, light red if not

  • Your inventory key count is now displayed

Damage calcs popup

• Visually improved

• Damage calcs popup now has shows estimated loot in player market value as well as the existing base sell value

• Calculations are now more accurate and faster

• Max hit calcs in the damage calcs popup no longer use randomization, meaning that your absolute max hit is always shown

Skilling task stats popup

• Loot sell value estimates now include player market values as well

• In the case of tasks with item costs, material losses include player market values as well and profits are now shown for both base values and player market values

• Timers now use a simpler format for better readability

• Visually improved

Header

• A background panel was added

• Button roundness toned down

• Some new icons

Navigation section on the left

• Now more compact, more entries can be shown at once

• New icon for the collapse/expand button

• Technically improved. Should support different resolutions better

Other

• Cosmetics have been updated to use a simpler glow instead of the fairly broken looking shaders. If you prefer the old ones, you can toggle on the "Use legacy cosmetics" option in the settings popup

• The player profile popup is now used when clicking other players in clan bosses and clan events

  • The info button was removed here, clicking anywhere on the player will now open up their profile

• The inventory item interaction popup was modified to be more compact and provide more info on items. It uses the same layout as item hovering does. Credits and thanks to Uraxys, I am shamelessly copying his much better designs here. One thing that is bothering me with the current design is that you aren't able to view the raw stats of items, just how they compare to your currently equipped items. I'll do something about that in a future update.

• Tasks with item costs changes

  • Item costs now use the hoverable item prefab rather than plain text

  • Task item cost entries are now clickable and open up the inventory item interaction popup

  • Moved the amount text in Farming tasks from the top left closer to the reward item icon. This text now also gets hidden behind the "Task unlocks at level x" panel

• Improved the combat offline progress section of the login popup

  • Also fixed an issue where sometimes displaying a ton of items would cause the popup to be resized incorrectly for a few frames

• Clan properties popup

  • Updated to be more compact and display all available properties without needing a scroll view

  • Your current property is now highlighted

• Daily boosts popup modified to be more compact and have less dead space. Contents weren't changed.

• Clan boss entries and lobbies received the DPS button as well

• Active task progress is now preserved when logging out

• Enchanting tasks hadn't been updated to turn visually turn green when you have available Exterminating scrolls. Fixed

• You'll no longer receive notifications about tool collection log unlocks from the Plundering Skilling Party event

• Reckoning of the Gods ultra rare drops are no longer hidden behind a question mark, I think the mystery has dwindled at this point

• The generic UI hover popup was improved and is now consistently used for all simple information hovers. This fixes various clunkiness, such as the hover popup being shown way out of position when hovering your skills in combat

• Combat invitations are no longer deleted if accepting an invitation fails

• Tasks are no longer instantiated client side all at once when you load into the game scene. Instead, they're only loaded when you need them (entering the relevant task page). This should make the login process a bit smoother, especially on lower end devices

• Visually tweaked the General section of the settings popup

• Excess boss pages would be lost if attempting to create more than 1 Book of Kronos without the Boss hunter perk unlocked. Fixed

• Bulletin board character limit raised from 500 to 1000

• The "Show us the money" upgrade's description was modified to state that the upgrade works on any enemy marked with the upgrade's icon. Currently that is Sobek, Kronos and Mesines

• Mesines is now a part of the clan cup

• Updated clan quest skilling entries to use the usual item prefab to make it easier to tell if you have the necessary resources to complete the quest and to make the item hoverable

• Fixed clan upgrades showing the gold cost of the previously viewed local market store entry (visual issue)

• Modified button layout in the chat popup

• Slightly reduced the spacing between inventory items in order to display more items at once

• Combat particle effects are now hidden when leaving the combat view

• Food entries in combat made slightly smaller, amounts are now formatted to KMB and added a background panel

• Enchantment scroll now have more informative descriptions

• Enchanted jewelry descriptions now mention the amount of boost that jewelry type receives

• You'll no longer see a gold cost in the Exterminating crate purchase popup after viewing local market entries (visual bug)

• The "Boosts available" hovering notification can now be pressed to open the daily boosts popup

• Tweaked the Daily Boosts popup

• PvM stat entries everywhere can now be clicked to quickly enter combat boss fights, clan boss fights and raids

• Boosts in profile now use a scroll to view show all boosted skills rather than just the first 5

• The "Loot and stats" popup in combat has a new button to view a monster's drop table during combat

• There's now a safe area on mobile devices with a notch so that UI elements (most importantly the navigation menu) don't appear under it

• Item creation task level requirements are now red if you don't meet the requirement

• Fixed local market upgrade entries with tiers not having the currently interacted amount correctly reset to 1 when closing and reopening the window, leading to a slightly inconsistent and buggy look

• The team leader will now always be credited loot when killing Mesines in a group, following the same pattern as Kronos and Sobek

• Fixed an issue causing offline combat to give more experience than it should when a daily boost was active and you didn't use all of it during your offline progression

• Displayed offline progression time when logging in is now exact

• Fixed the max purchasable amount of local market store entries being 1 unit less than you could actually afford

• A ton of other small UI/UX tweaks across the board

If you haven't partaken in our previous events, this is how it works:

• There's a global experience boost that starts at 2% and goes up to a maximum of 20%

• The event has a temporary currency, presents, which can be bought with either gold or from the game shop. You can also find it from opening chests and killing bosses in The Valley of Gods

• Presents can be donated to the communal present supply. As we reach new present thresholds, the global experience boost rises

• Received bonus experience isn't directly credited to you - instead, it's added to the event's experience bank which can be accessed from the Christmas event popup. Bonus experience can be claimed at any time and if you have any unclaimed experience after the event has ended, it'll be automatically credited to you on your next login

• When the event time runs out, presents can no longer be donated and the supply will start decreasing at a steady rate - either 50M or 1% of the current supply per hour, whichever is higher. You'll continue receiving bonus experience until the supply has fully drained out

As usual, at the end of the event, the top 30 donors will be eligible for the @2025 Christmas benefactor role on our Discord server.

Happy holidays!

New tasks, new bosses and a bunch of new items!

The biggest part of this update is the new Valley of the Gods boss, Mesines. Most of the new content in this update is in some way connected to it, either in the form of equipment or necessary preparations. Preparing to successfully fight Mesines takes a considerable amount of time, but if you commit and succeed, you'll have a chance of finding Otherworldly ore, which is used to create new Otherworldly armour with the smithing skill.

Also, as was was forecasted, completionist capes now require the Exterminating skill as well. You'll be unable to equip existing completionist capes if you don't meet the Exterminating level requirement for them.

Onto the patch notes!

• Exterminating

  • Exterminating mastery capes have been released. Fighting your Exterminating assignments will raise your damage output by 6%, 12%, 18% and 24% respectively when equipped

  • You now have a low chance of plundering basilisk and Astronomical gear

  • Warrior belt was appearing more often than it should have

• A new tab was added to the bottom of the activity list, called "Item creation"

  • The goal of this tab is to have a single place for all miscellaneous item creation tasks that have versatile requirements

  • The Primeval fangblade, Divine hide buckler and Naga's blessed crown tasks were moved from the Smithing page to this tab

Smaller changes

• One of my personal favourites, pressing the small button next to the "Activities" text on the left no longer opens a popup displaying available activities. Instead, it'll show activities below in a compact way so that you can see all available activities at once without needing to scroll. This setting is remembered and persists between sessions

• To better control the currently massive influx of chests of all types and to return to their original goal of being items that you have to obtain via skilling, you no longer receive any chests from Reckoning of the Gods and no Exceptional chests from combat. Common and rare chests are still available via combat for enchantments to not be too big of a drag early game

• The Valley of the Gods bosses now drop less gold than before. Their drop tables are already lucrative and we should aim to decrease gold influx where we can

• You're now able to interact with chests even if your inventory is full

• Fixed a few items not being sorted correctly in the inventory

• The item info popup when hovering quest item requirements no longer goes as far away

The Halloween event has started and it will run for 2 weeks!

For newer users who haven't had a chance to partake in previous events, this is how it works:

• There's a global experience boost that starts at 2% and goes up to 20%

• The event has a temporary currency, candy, which can be bought with either gold or from the game shop. You can also find it from opening chests and killing Valley of the Gods bosses

• Candy can be donated to the communal candy supply. All donated candy is pooled together and as we reach new thresholds, the global experience boost rises

• The event experience bonus isn't directly credited to you as you receive experience - instead, it's added to the "Halloween event experience bank" which can be accessed from the Halloween event popup. If you have any unclaimed experience after the event has ended, it'll be automatically credited to you on your next login

• When the event time runs out, candy can no longer be donated and the supply will start decreasing at a steady rate - either 50M or 1% of the current supply per hour, whichever is higher. You'll continue receiving bonus experience until the supply has fully drained out.

As we had a little accident with the Halloween event starting prematurely a few months ago and users donating to that event without the event fully realizing (though everyone still received bonus experience for all donated currency), I'll kick off the event by donating what we had in the supply back then.

As usual, at the end of the event, the top 30 donors will be eligible for the @2025 Halloween benefactor role on Discord.

Have fun and happy Halloween!

This update is all about QoL and making your gameplay a little more pleasant and streamlined. Huge thanks to Uraxys and anyone else involved with the development of Idle Plus as a good chunk of these changes are inspired by the great work done there.

Changes

• Raids

  • A new in-app purchase has been added that upon activation allows you to AFK raids. There is a single token, AFK Raider, that upon activation lets you choose which raid you'd like to gain the ability to AFK in. The token is as usual tradeable so you can buy it from other players via the player market as well. AFK raiding comes with a few caveats:

    • You'll need to have completed a raid at least once to AFK it. In Bloodmoon Massacre, your able to base your AFK run based on waves you've managed to reach in manual runs. You're encouraged to do as well as you can in manual raids as your best manual times are what AFK runs are based on

    • AFKing a raid produces rewards much slower than raiding manually. The times it takes to complete an AFK raid is your best manual solo run time * 5 (at the time of writing). So if your best solo Reckoning of the Gods run is 10 minutes, an AFK Reckoning of the Gods run will take 50 minutes.

    • You can't do another activity whilst AFK raiding

    • You don't receive experience from AFK raiding

    • You don't receive clan credits from AFK raiding

    • AFK raid completions are not counted towards your personal raid completions, leaderboards or the clan cup

    • Maximum AFK raid time is 3 days

    • You can AFK raid whilst offline, even up to the entire 3 days

    • Summed up, manual raiding is far superior to AFK raiding. But, if you're unable (or unwilling) to engage with raids manually, there is now an alternative option available

  • The Raids page has been slightly rearranged to display information in a more compact way. Also, you can now see your personal best solo runs in that view (not tracked at an individual level before this update so old run times won't show).

  • Bloodmoon massacre now remembers your previous bag loadout and lets you easily reselect it

  • Your best RotG time will now only be recorded if your ending party size matches your runs starting party size

  • Added Agility to the list of used skills in RotG and BMM as your dodge chance is now based on your agility level

  • Pressing player names in raid lobbies now shows the player's entire profile rather than just relevant skills

• The item hover popup has been reworked to contain a lot more information

  • Current player market price (highest buy price or lowest sell price if there are no buy offers)

  • Stat differences compared to currently equipped item in same slot

  • Basic equipment info like level requirement, boosts etc

  • Applied and missing enchantments in jewelry

• Player info popup

  • Now used more often throughout the game when clicking player names in various places

  • Added "Invite to party" and "Join party" buttons for combat and raid parties

  • Fixed a small visual annoyance where UI elements would get shown before getting populated with the latest data. Things are now hidden until they are fully loaded

  • Fixed a small issue where the levels of a viewed online player could be slightly out of date

• Chat messages

  • Left clicking/pressing chat messages now opens the player's info popup (same popup as used when viewing clan members)

  • Right clicking chat messages now copies the senders username to your clipboard

• Premium clarity changes

  • To be a bit less "in your face" with an in-app purchase, pressing premium locked content as a non-premium player will no longer straight up open up the game shop with premium benefits thrown at you. Instead, it'll open up a new popup that tells you a bit about the rank and lets you know that it can be bought with in-game gold as well. There are buttons that direct you both to the game shop and the player market with premium pre-searched

  • Reworded premium's description in the game shop to be a bit clearer about its tradeability and purchasability with in-game gold

  • When buying tokens from the game shop, you'll now automatically be taken to your inventory with the token selected to hopefully make it clearer that you need to activate the token to unlock its benefits

• Misc. QoL changes & additions

  • To not make the item requirements for the "Clan boss slayers" upgrade completely useless after you've unlocked the upgrade for your clan and to add another needed source of Otherworldly essence, these items can now be broken into essence

  • Pressing the placeholder toggle in your inventory page now displays a notification informing you of what you've done

  • The Valley of the Gods keys now mention which boss they unlock access to in their item descriptions

  • The player market page no longer needs to be opened before being able to list items for sale from your inventory

  • You'll now see how much potion usage you'll get when drinking potions

  • The amount of holiday currency you get from buying it via the game shop hasn't been modified in a long time, causing the deals to not be very worthwhile due to gold inflation. Thus, for future events, the amount of holiday currency you get has now been tripled

  • The "Get Questing token" button in the quests popup that shows up when you don't have the quester rank active was reworded to "Raise the amount of available quests with a Questing token", it's colour was changed and its pulse animation was removed

  • Ending solo combat now displays the more descriptive summary popup that was previously only used for group combat sessions

  • The detailed loot/kills summary popup is now accessible in solo combat as well via the "Loot and stats" popup. Historical loot is no longer displayed as text in that view

  • Health you lifesteal during a combat session can now be seen in the "Loot and stats" popup

  • Player market item searches are now able to display up to 40 different items, up from 20

  • Sobek is now a part of the weekly clan cup

  • "Yoink" now applies to offline boss kills

  • Local market upgrades now display max tier. Also, the tier text is now white

  • Lil' Eclipse now has an item description and mentions how its levelled up

  • The agility icon is now displayed in damage splats if the attack was dodged. Currently only in regular combat

  • You can now click player names in the clan recruitment centre to view their profiles

  • You can now click player names in clan boss lobbies to view their profiles

  • Pressing player names in combat lobbies now shows the player's entire profile rather than just relevant skills and equipment

  • If you're logging out or quitting the application without performing an offline supported activity, you'll now be warned that you'll go idle. On mobile, only log outs via the sidebar menu will trigger the warning

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue that caused GIM accounts who were kicked out of a clan whilst being offline and who had an active task when logging out to be kicked out of the game shortly after logging back into the game due to an unhandled exception

• The "Through the wetlands" upgrade was showing an incorrect percentage on non-English languages

• A temporary chat channel being deleted will no longer default to the General chat being toggled on, unless the deleted chat was the chat you had open

• The vault space bulk purchase now warns that you already have the maximum amount of vault space if you do

• Fixed receiving skilling gloves not unlocking collection log slots. Should now work via the skilling party event and also via claimable items

• Fixed an issue where your raid lobby status wouldn't get cleared on logout, rendering you unable to, for example, join new raid parties after logging out or being disconnected until you manually cleared it by creating a new lobby or restarting the client

• Fixed an issue where your BMM completion wouldn't be recorded if you left the raid before it finished. You would still receive rewards for it, but the run wouldn't be recorded to leaderboards, clan cup and with this update, your personal best runs

• Damage dealt in Reckoning of the Gods and Bloodmoon massacre no longer overkills

• Fixed Kronos' weaknesses not being applied in combat

• Slightly modified Ancient tribe drop table so that weights adds up to exactly 100%

• Your current activity will no longer be marked as combat in your profile unless you're actually in combat (previously simply being in a combat lobby would suffice)

• Doing smelting in RotG will no longer show you as idle

• Fixed the attack skill not appearing in player info popups when viewing online players

• The key used to open a boss lobby wouldn't be used towards offline progression, meaning that you'd end up with 1 less kill at the end of it than you should have

Our first summer event, Beach party, has started! Similar to other events but this time with ice cream, you can donate the event currency to the communal supply which increases a global experience boost for everyone in the game. Ice cream can be bought with either in-game gold or for real money through the game shop. Additionally, you can find ice cream when opening chests and killing bosses in The Valley of Gods.

As we reach predetermined ice cream milestones in the supply, the experience bonus everyone in the game receives increases. The experience bonus starts at 2% at caps out at 25%. The event ends on the 8th of August at which time you'll be unable to donate any more ice cream to the supply. The supply will start draining at an accelerated rate and you'll keep receiving bonus experience until the supply is empty.

Same as previous events, there's a new Discord role @2025 Beach party benefactor available for players who end up in the Top Donors (top 30) list at the end of the event. Enjoy the bonus experience!

This update brings new end-game tasks and a new high level boss: Sobek.

To fight Sobek, you'll need to get your hands on Ancient keys. These keys are obtainable from Plundering the "Ancient tribe", which requires a Plundering level of 105 and utilizes every non-combat skill in the game. Sobek has a chance of dropping some new best in slot items along with providing access to a new upgrade.

Additionally, we're running our first summer themed event soon. Beach party will start at 8AM UTC on the 25th and run for exactly 2 weeks. The maximum experience boost from this event will be 25%.

Full patch notes below:

• New Plundering task

  • Level requirement of 105

  • Every non-combat skill counts as an advantage and benefits cap at level 110

  • Drops

    • A key/ticket to fight a new boss, Sobek

    • Ingredients for dishes

• New boss in the Valley of Gods, Sobek

  • A unique mechanic where the boss will become immune to the attack style it was previously damaged with. This means that the boss should be taken on in a group with different attack styles or if that's not an option, you'll have to fight it without an attack style. This means either fighting it with your bare fists or getting yourself the new Primeval fangblade

  • Uses Archery, similar stats to Medusa but stronger

  • A new weekly quest has been added where killing Sobek a handful of times is required

  • Access requires an Ancient key

  • Because acquiring keys to fight Sobek takes a fairly long time, it uses the same loot distribution logic as Kronos where the team leader will always get the drop regardless of damage dealt

  • The "Show us the money" upgrade works when fighting Sobek as well.

  • Drops

    • Sobek's talisman

    • Sobek's blessing

    • Sobek's charm

    • Arrow of Sobek

    • Blessed crocodile hide

    • Raw apex meat. Cooking it requires level 100 Cooking and the cooked variant heals for 20 health when consumed

• New items

  • Primeval fangblade

    • Creation requires a Smithing level of 90 and the following items:

      • Primeval fang (dropped by Drake)

      • Astronomical bar

      • 25 ancient potions

    • Untradeable

    • Base stats slightly worse than Godlike longsword

    • Unique aspects make it the ideal choice of weapon against Sobek

      • This blade doesn't have a defined attack style. This means that it can be used against Sobek without it triggering its immunity effect

      • 30% damage boost against Sobek

  • Divine hide buckler

    • Requires a Divine buckler and 5 Blessed crocodile hides

    • Created with the Smithing skill with a level requirement of 100

  • Naga's blessed crown

    • Requires Naga's crown and Sobek's charm

    • Created with the Smithing skill with a level requirement of 105

  • Sobek's blessing - A scroll equipable in the ammunition slot. Scroll provides some strength and accuracy bonuses and is the first item in that equipment slot to do so. Tradeable

  • Arrow of Sobek - a unique ammunition that doesn't get consumed when shot. Archery strength slightly lower than that of Titanium arrows. Untradeable

  • Sobek's talisman - Used to unlocks the "Through the wetlands" upgrade which raises your skilling ticket drop chance by 30%. Untradeable

  • A cooking experience bonus outfit has been added and is obtainable from the Cooking clan event

Other changes

• You should now see your Player market trading history immediately updated when finalizing trades

• The Smithing tab now contains a "Other" tab that we'll utilize primarily for creation of high level equipment with unique item requirements. Primeval fangblade, Divine hide buckler and Naga's blessed crown are created via that menu.

• Attempting to equip a loadout where you don't own all of the loadout's items will now equip whatever items you do have rather than the loadout equip fully failing. You can then go to loadout configuration and more easily update the loadout as necessary

• Collection log   - Astronomical ore is now a part of Valley of the Gods collection logs   - Sobek has been added to the Collection log

• The following items are now sorted under the Resources tab (cube icon) in your inventory

  • Holiday currencies

  • Boss keys

  • Item requirements in new Smithing tasks

Fixes:

• Sometimes players that disconnected in unexpected ways would remain visible to you in clan boss fights. That should no longer happen

• Disconnected clients should get cleaned up quicker now. You should not be disconnected for being inactive in the game, only if your connection has dropped and your client is unable to communicate with the server, so ideally, assuming this change works as intended, the change shouldn't be visible to you in any other way besides reconnection being smoother after having connection issues. This fix should indirectly fix at least a couple of known issues players have occasionally faced:

  • Clan boss fights should no longer appear stuck when a party member ungracefully disconnects from the fight

  • There has been an issue with clan operations sometimes failing and getting stuck, causing players to be unable to interact with the clan or even login (as the login process touches clan data as well). I'm hopeful that the change fixes this issue - but even if not, these issues should be resolving much faster than before.

• Fixed "Show us the money" procs not registering in the collection log

• Fixed some new texts not being localized into all languages
• Fixed some pets appearing as unlocked in the collection even if you didn't own them

New

• Collection log

  • Accessed from your player profile

  • Currently 162 collection log slots to unlock across monsters, bosses, raids, quests and clan events

  • Items must be earned from their original sources to unlock collection log entries - you can't unlock them by purchasing or receiving them from other players. Since this system tracks where items actually come from, we can't automatically unlock all items you've previously obtained. Here's how previously obtained items will be unlocked:

    • Default game mode:

      • Only owned untradeables will be automatically unlocked

    • Ironman game mode:

      • Everything you own will be automatically unlocked

    • Group ironman game mode:

      • Nothing is automatically unlocked due to unrestricted trading between clan members

• Giving Agility a bigger purpose

  • Agility now grants 0.18% dodge chance in combat per level

  • The Ninja upgrade has been discontinued and can no longer be purchased. If you've bought the upgrade before this update, you'll be reimbursed the gold you spent on it. For this, navigate to the settings popup and press the "Check reimbursements" button

  • This change means that the maximum amount of dodge has been increased. You can now reach up to 21.6% at level 120 Agility, up from 20%

Changes

• Otherworldly golem's health has been halved for group ironmen

• Skilling tickets rolls now take task times into consideration as well and long tasks are far more likely to drop skilling tickets. For example, you're now 2.5x more likely to get skilling tickets from fishing tuna and 5x more likely to receive skilling tickets from farming dragon fruit than before

• Players' current activities in raids are now displayed as sprites rather than text

• Griffin and Devil had their raw zander drop chance slightly increased and titanium ore drop chance slightly decreased

Bug fixes

• You should no longer get disconnected from chat due to inactivity

• Fixed a combat related client side memory leak

• Fixed holiday currency sales not finalizing (would appear to disappear when selling but reappear on relog)

• Fixed cosmetic versions of the Bloodmoon helmet bypassing the unlock requirement

• Fixed an edge case scenario in the quest "return to task" mode causing you to go idle on quest completion

• Fixed a bug where your combat lobby UI could get messed up when leaving and joining parties via the Exterminating page

• Fixed an issue where you'd get the red exclamation mark that indicates you don't have enough resources to complete a quest when completing quests tasks with costs if you had the exact amount of resources required

• Cerberus and Black dragon had a lower chance of dropping strawberry seeds than intended. Fixed

• Search button now works in cosmetic activation view

• You can no longer start new combat lobbies through quests, the Exterminating page or clan quests if you're already in a group combat lobby to prevent some UI shenanigans

• Removed the flame effect from raid entries in the PvM stats popup

• Infinite waves until your party inevitably falls. Each wave is harder than the last and the further you get, the better your chances at lucrative rewards
• You'll bring your own equipment into this raid. Additionally, you can by default bring up to 4 equipable items into the raid with you. This is doubled to 8 with the Bloodmoon preparation upgrade - more on that below
• As this raid doesn't have a defined end, the rewards work slightly differently from what you're used to. Boss fights start at wave 10 and repeat every 5 waves afterwards. After every boss fight, you'll receive a guaranteed default loot roll. On wave 20 and afterwards, you'll have a chance of receiving a high roller loot roll on top of the default roll. The chance of receiving this extra roll raises as you progress in the raid. High roller loot rolls are essentially 5x as powerful as default loot rolls. Received loot rolls are immediately recorded and will be usable later even if you suddenly leave the raid or disconnect.
• As this raid is never completed, leaderboards and clan cup don't count your completions like they typically do. Instead, they're are ordered by the wave you manage to get to. Bloodmoon massacre leaderboards and clan cup standings are available for both players and clans

  • Collecting (item withdrawal, player market, quest reward claims etc)
  • Level ups
• The global volume can be modified in the settings and every sound type can be toggled on and off
• Note that this update merely introduces the core game sounds. We'll be adding more of them as time goes by along with music. As such, for the time being, sounds are muted by default and need to be unmuted in settings if you want to try them out in their current state

• Fixed raid icons missing in weekly clan cup

  • You'll now be able to snatch a clan tag even if a clan by that name already exists IF that clan hasn't been active for 6 months
  • Ironmen can no longer set a clan tag
  • Your clan now needs to own a House or better to be able to set a clan tag

• Fixed Enchanted jewellery symbol creation

• All clan leave/deletion confirmation popups should now have a cooldown before the confirm button can be pressed
• Fixed the max total level requirement for clans being 2280 instead of 2400
• Fixed drinking potions multiple times causing a notification to trigger for each consumption when the effect ended
• A portion of the brightness slider in settings was redundant and you would be at max brightness far before reaching the end of the slider. Fixed
• Fixed a visual issue where if you dragged an inventory item using 2 mouse buttons simultaneously, you might end up with a duplicate ghost item until you relogged
• The loot slider in the clan member claimable items popup should no longer go over item amounts when a player has a lot of uncollected items
• Tasks in skilling pages should no longer go out of bounds regardless of your resolution. This was primarily an issue on some tablets
• Main menu UI should now scale better on tablets and similar resolutions
• The loot button in the clan page now has a small animated notification if you have claimable loot
• If you receive loot in clan boss fights that your inventory is too full to hold, it'll now go under your clan's claimable items for you to collect later

API

• The following fields were added to the GetPlayerProfile endpoint:
  • HoursOffline
  • TaskTypeOnLogout
  • TaskNameOnLogout
• A "Timestamp" field is now available in chat messages

• Requires a new type of currency to enter - skilling tickets. Similar to chests, these can be found whilst skilling and are dropped at a slightly higher drop rate than exceptional chests. They are automatically submitted to your clan's collection as you receive them.
• You can create a party for a skill when you have at least 1 ticket for that skill. If you have multiple, they'll all be used and rewards will scale accordingly.
• Tickets cap at 10 per skill to prevent funnelling.
• No cooldowns or daily limits.
• Experience is about half of what you get from other skilling events per ticket.
• Loot:
  • Resources based on your clan's level in used skill.
  • 1% chance to receive a pet per ticket.
  • 2% chance to receive skilling gloves per used ticket. More on skilling gloves below.
  • Loot is given to everyone in the clan when the event is completed, not just participants. Non-participating members can claim their loot via the bag icon in the clan front page.

• For gathering and crafting skills, skilling gloves provide a 5% chance to double your loot (does not grant extra experience) when completing tasks. This stacks with existing mechanics, so if you, for example, proc "The Fisherman" upgrade to double your fish, skilling gloves will potentially double the already doubled fish.
• As Agility doesn't produce items, Agility gloves work differently. When worn, you'll have a chance to receive random boss keys instead of chests whilst doing any skill:
  • 75% chance to receive a key instead of common chests.
  • 50% chance to receive a key instead of rare chests.
  • 25% chance to receive a key instead of exceptional chests.

• Unlocking it permanently raises Otherworldly Essence's effect from 30% to 72% for all clan members.
• Costs 250k clan credits.
• Requires your clan to have used a total of at least 1,000 skilling tickets.

• The inventory space token activation cap was raised from 5 to 10, bringing in 150 new inventory slots for use.
• When attempting to leave a clan as GIM, the confirmation popup now has a 15-second timer until the confirm button can be pressed. Kicking players has the same functionality.

• Made some improvements to data initialization on game startup. Hopefully, some lower-end devices that weren't able to load the game before will be able to play now as well.
• Fixed some issues in the Group Ironman clan standings leaderboard tab.
• Fixed about a dozen texts in the game not being localized correctly.
• Fixed the "Kronos who?" upgrade requiring only a total of 50 Valley of the Gods kills rather than needing to have killed each of them at least 50 times.
• Fixed an issue where if you DM'd a user after creating a party chat and had the DM chat active when the party chat dissolved, you wouldn't be able to open any other channels until closing the DM chat.
• Attempting to enter Reckoning of the Gods now specifies that you need 25 kills in the Valley of the Gods rather than general boss kills.
• Fixed an issue with new skilling equipment not being sorted as such when auto-sorting your inventory.
• The X button in the confirmation popup now acts as a background click.
• Fixed offline Exterminating not awarding quest kills as it should've.
• Block icon in raids was using the wrong icon, fixed.
• Fixed an issue with retrieving clan logs.
• Added Exterminating to leaderboard Standings pages.

Group ironman has arrived!

• You must be in a clan to start playing. When you first log in on a group ironman account, you'll be presented with a popup where you can either join an existing clan or create a new one. Once you're in a clan, your journey begins. If you created a clan, you can recruit players who have not yet joined a clan.
• Group ironman clans can a maximum of 6 players
• Group ironman has its own leaderboards and weekly cups
• There are (almost) no untradeable items between group ironmen. With the exception of skill capes and enchanted jewelry, every item can be transferred between members via the clan vault
• You can only join a clan once, so choose carefully. Once you've joined or created a clan, you will NOT be able to join another player's clan again
  • If you leave or are kicked from your clan, you'll be forced to create a new clan before you can continue playing
• You're allowed to have more than 1 group ironman accounts but you're not allowed to have more than 1 in a single group/clan
• Note: there is currently an issue with displaying item receival notifications on ironmen. So if you send game shop tokens to an ironman, no notification will appear about the received token. The items will still appear in the item withdrawal box as they normally would.

Other

• A new Exterminating shop item has been added: Extended assignments

• Ancient and stone boots were facing the wrong way. Fixed
• Fixed new accounts not being able to chat in the clan chat until they relogged into the game once

• Exterminating is now a part of player leaderboard profiles
• Fixed clan boss KC counting towards the Reckoning of the gods entry requirement

• The Exterminating skill can now be found in the leaderboards
• Fixed an issue with the Exterminating token in-app purchase causing you to need to relog to see the purchased token in your inventory

Exterminating points

• Completing Exterminating assignments awards you with Exterminating points
  • These can be used in the new Exterminating shop. It currently contains 2 items to purchase:
    • Cancel assignment - cancels your current assignment. This is a repeating purchase
    • Auto completer - purchased once and unlocked indefinitely. With this, you'll automatically receive and start new Exterminating assignments as you complete them. Works both online and offline
  • The game shop has a new tradeable token for $3.99 that when activate, you'll permanently receive 25% more Exterminating points from assignments

What happens to existing completionist capes?

• Currently, nothing. Exterminating does not yet have its own skill cape so your existing completionist capes will continue working as before

Other changes

• Build sizes should now be significantly smaller
• Fixed pressing the "'Player' sent you an item" notification not opening the item withdrawal popup if you weren't in the profile page
