Idle Xanxia news & patch notes

Hotfix

Infinite Puppet Realm

Fixed merits and high-grade spirit stones not being granted after Return to the Sect.

Repair Save and aspect recovery

Stale or empty profile data can no longer erase equipped aspects restored from a run save.

Void Primordial Law

Suppression now applies once per enemy Dao set instead of repeatedly every combat tick. Tier 4 removes one enemy Dao and lowers another by two tiers. Tier 5 removes two enemy Daos.

Dao fixes

Enduring Crag’s base Earth Dao shield now works when the Dao Tree shield-contact path does not apply. Tempest After Rebirth persists through wave and floor transitions. Tempest displays its five-second duration/status bar. Rotting Miasma’s aura now scales from the actual earned Dao tier. Base Body Dao Temper stacks now accumulate when the specialized Dao Tree Temper path is inactive.

Reincarnation / Rebirth Stability

Fixed root Dao progression and inherited Dao state being lost or mis-repaired after reincarnation/rebirth. Fixed Plane travel unlocks, Void Pavilion, Spatial Ring, Plane 2, and Plane 3 access not staying unlocked correctly after rebirth within a reincarnation cycle.

Dao Tree / Dao Combat Fixes

Fixed Dao root assignment cleanup so temporary root-granted Daos do not leave stale/free T5 Dao states. Fixed Dao selection scenes when all Daos are already owned. Fixed Storm Dao Roar not working properly when taken as a Dao root. Fixed Eye of the Storm building damage while paused/off-screen.

Combat / Channeling

Fixed Godspeed/channeled abilities so pause/off-screen freezes the channel timer and wave/floor transitions do not restart the channel. Fixed several defensive Dao edge cases, including shield/prevention interactions with follow-up damage.

Poison / DoT Reliability

Fixed Rotting Miasma + Venom Fang + Withering Blight damage alignment so tooltip DPS, floating damage, and actual tick damage match.

Cosmetics / Purchased Unlocks

Fixed Secret Realm cosmetics like Frost Robes and Xuanwu pet being lost across reincarnation. Fixed Void Pavilion cosmetic artefacts such as Floating Sword/Tiger Claws being restorable/preserved from durable purchase data. Fixed Void Pavilion cosmetic purchase state so owned cosmetics remain available after reincarnation.

Aspects / Stats

Fixed Mountain Ape so armor penetration stat increases visibly and correctly. Fixed Secret Realm stat preview/combat derived stats so floor bonuses like flat armor and attack speed no longer appear to reset, reduce, or behave erratically.

v0.9 Major Update: Reincarnation and Dao Trees A new stage of cultivation has opened. This update introduces two major progression systems: Reincarnation and Dao Trees. Your journey no longer ends with a single lifetime. Build your foundation, refine your path, and carry deeper power into future ascensions. **Reincarnation** Break past the limits of one life and begin again with lasting growth. Reincarnation expands long-term progression and prepares your cultivator for the next realm of challenges. Dao Trees Dao paths now offer deeper specialization through new nodes, stances, lineage techniques, and awakenings. Shape your build around offense, defense, control, summons, survival, and scaling power as your cultivation advances. Prepare to Face the Four Sovereigns The road ahead leads toward the Sovereigns. This update lays the foundation for the next major confrontation and the systems that will define higher-realm combat. Also Included New combat effects, passives, and techniques Balance and description improvements across multiple systems Foundation work for future high-realm content Cultivators, the next threshold is open. P.S. : Not all capstone have a VFX, this is known and in progress, the priority was to put new mechanics in front of you guys
