General changes
:Combat
:* Magic strength has been enabled (and shown in UI), it will effect all elemental type abilities EXCEPT for auto-attacks which have been element swapped

Hello Idlescapers!

I hope you enjoyed your extended Christmas event, but now it’s coming to a close!
Unluckily for you all the very cool Christmas event will now be closed, but when one door closes another opens!
In this case, it leads straight to somewhere really hot!

First off, I’d like to thank those of you who applied for the Dev Server testing, without you the quality of the update would be much lower. For those of you who applied but didn’t participate, don’t be disheartened! Our submission box was simply overflowing this time around!
In particular I would like to point out the contributions of Dael and Silent1 for their endless fonts of feedback and solutions; if you see them around give them a virtual pat on the back!

This update will bring us to beta version 0.10.4.

Event Related-
:*Christmas Event ended, all gathering zones disabled and most materials have been consumed.
:*Krampus Keys and crafting them will remain available.
:*Snowball crafting will remain available.
:*Tokens of Ownership/Action/Slayer now have a heat value of 1 if you have any left in your inventory that you want to get rid of (technical limitations, enjoy the free handful of heat!)
:*Event Shop has been opened for Ironmen
:*Festive Shroud has been added to the Event Shop with a price of 45k Event Tokens

Combat-
:*A new dungeon has become available!
:*The Palace of Flames is a Stygian tier duo dungeon that is harder than Fort, but easier than Keep. This should place it solidly in midgame progression.
:*New combat mechanics have been enabled: When in this dungeon you will suffer from the Overheat debuff, which heavily reduces your offensive capabilities.
:*Crafting Flame Resistance food will nullify this debuff, so make sure to bring some of that with you!
:*A new unique cape has been added with this dungeon with a new and interesting special effect!
:*There’s an easter egg attached to this new cape. Naga’s Secret 2.0? No announcement though because I was too lazy to set that up :)

Loadouts-
:*There are now 10 equipment loadout slots.
:*Aliases for the commands and actions have been added:
loadout = l/lo/equip/e

save = s

load = l

delete = d

Fishing-
:*Reel power has been linearized. This buffs reel power under 200, and nerfs reel power over 200.
:*Bait now affects the lucky node chances, if you hit a lucky node it will now tell you in the acivity log.
:*Bait now affects the sizes of nodes. More bait = bigger nodes!
:*Fixed a bug where the minimum fishing time was 1ms instead of 1000ms, no more sub-second actions, sorry!

Cooking-
:*Searing ladle has had its aug costs lowered dramatically to be brought more in-line with similarly tiered items.
:*Fish oil can now be used as a cooking ingredient. It dramatically lowers time to cook and is a decent chunk of xp, but it has a heat cost!
:*Inferno and scholar now work properly for Cooking.

Inventory-
:*Brand new sorting is in place with a couple options attached to it, check them out! It’s nice. I’m biased.
:*If you hate progress and the future you can enable using legacy sorting, but if you do you probably have haste on ring.
:*Tooltip generation and item popups have been updated; abilities and item sets now have a special spot they appear in instead of in the description and item augments and their names are visible in the popup

Misc-
:*Elite scrolls no longer have global augment messages. Stop wasting your money on +20s nobody can do!
:*Disabled gargoyle transform global messages. F.
:*Added auto-tacklebox feature, toggleable in settings.
:*Added vendor costs to several items that lacked them, and updated some that had incorrect/old ones.
:*Some issues related to abilities.
:*Added a /kill command that sets your health to 0. We log when this is used so don’t try to scam a key off of us :)

Bugs-
:*Added many, removed some. :)

And that should be it! A little bit bigger than the intended small bug fix and QoL update, but hopefully you all enjoy it!
Work will probably be focused on The Great Refactor^tm so expect news of that soon^tm

|-
| colspan="3" |
Today's patch notes offered by Nick the Fisherman (not Combatman anymore):

Fishing Rework! Making fishing not bad^tm

First off, fishing levels WILL be reset for MAINSCAPE with your current XP going to fishing mastery. Ironman levels will NOT be affected.

Lots of new fishable items, 22 to be exact!

:*10 fish
:*4 materials
:*7 global fishing drops
:*7 new enchants and their scrolls, 6 for tacklebox, 1 for ladles???
:*A new tool type, the tacklebox! Comes in 6 tiers, bronze through runite then jumps to legendary.
:*3 new equipment items, the first gathering set! Wear them all to get a not-so-small set bonus! (Yes, they're tradeable)
:*10 non-mandatory fishing baits with unique effects!
:*Low and mid tier bait are sourced from the shop (replaces feathers), low tier mining and foraging zones, and low level combat.
:*High tier baits are mostly crafted in small batches but have huge bonuses.
To use the baits simply add them to the new tacklebox inventory which is now visible on the fishing page.

https://i.imgur.com/Ny2ATix.png{{clear|both}}
Hopefully the bugs in this bait are the only bugs for this update, but I doubt it!

Fishing stats have been revamped, no longer is fishing just "lmao put on fishing enchant and done"

Look at the picture to see the actual in-game info page!

https://i.imgur.com/27Acmvs.png{{clear|both}}
Ancient Treasures AKA Cooler Sunken Treasures

Scholar enchant now only works on mastery experience, so after hitting level 99 in that skill

The first legendary gathering tool:
:*Ocean's Embrace, a level 80 fishing tool that is untradeable but has an 100% augment chance
Fishing locations have had a major revamp; Still Lake and Open Ocean are now level 50 and 65, respectively, and there is now a new level 85 zone, Stormy Seas.

Within each location is a set of "nodes" which are groups of resources. Right now there are 23 nodes, some with specific stat requirements to access. Can you find them all?

https://i.imgur.com/XoEOYMu.png{{clear|both}}
Yes, Stormy Seas is a dangerous location.

:*Update notification will now only appear every 5 minutes, and every minute at and below 3 minutes
:*Added tooltip texts to some cooking ingredients (thanks Ot_to and mods!)
:*Hopefully fixed white screen issues with group combat, and replaced it with more user-friendly error (probably empty group tab, please report bug reports on these when it happens!)
:*Made the default background color of the page black, so no flashing whitescreen if it takes a bit longer to load the background image
:*Fixed Diamond Star icon rendering correctly
:*Fixed Signet Ring augmentation stats to be correct (as they were in backend)
:*Buffed RISE OF INFO dungeon
:*Fixed Sick debuff
:*Fertilizer effectiveness increased from 10% to 30%

|-
| colspan="3" |
:*Fixed multiple backend issues and bugs. Also added a bunch more logging to backend to deal with different issues. Hopefully these fixed the server instability or gives us more information about the issue.
:*Market cleaner is once again enabled. Every listing will be returned to the player's inventory after it has been listed for 30 days. So some of your listings might go into your inventory immediately after update.
:*Better performance in marketplace view in browser
:*Added an API to market, which will give you all the market data in a single request. The endpoint to the API is GET request to /api/market/manifest. The manifest will not contain the real-time prices, it updates every 10 minutes and contains the previous data. So basically it will contain the prices of items how they were 10-19 minutes ago.
:*After two long years, the option to finally recover your password is available in the login interface
:*Added an option in equipment tab to buy missing health using gold. This will instantly restore you to maximum health, but costing 1,000 gold per health healed.
:*Added two new combat items into the game
:*Removed all fragment drops from all dungeons (like it has been for Giant's Keep)
:*Contributions message only appears if drop notifications are on
:*Some changes into what drops get a server-wide message and also what augment levels give server-wide announcement
:*Updated a bunch of scroll assets (Thank you silent!)
:*Added 4 more chat icons into the game. These icons will be awarded to community members, generally by just being a good person, so no real requirements. Not yet sure on the process how to deal with it, but at least they are now in the game
...probably other stuff which I have forgotten about, but these should be the majority of it

| colspan="3" |
Balance and Item Changes:

:*Reduced rarity of Giant King's Jewel.
:*Increased offense of Black Knight's Gauntlets while reducing its defense.
:*Tweaks to certain crafting recipes and augmentation requirements.
:*A couple books were added.
:*An easter egg was added... but where? :)

(Possible) Bug Fixes:

:*Major optimizations to looting.
:*Idling after being defeated.
:*Reworked how the backend handles healing to resolve existing edge cases. Probably introduced new edge cases. We'll find out!
:*Optimizations to host and client networking handling as well as more error checking, may or may not reduce instances of crashing.
:*Resolved several cases where enchants weren't being counted properly during combat or desync of buffs/enchants.
:*Resolved several cases of group combat spam.

Misc:

:*Moved a handful of activity messages to group if in group combat, i.e. player defeated, rare loot, etc.
:*Made the backend smart enough to hopefully know if your key got ate after a DC.
:*"Aspect" enchants now read the correct enchantment strength on tooltip, though they still do nothing except be cosmetic.
:*Added support for books dropping from new sources. Interesting.
:*Added options to "Promote" and "Kick" players in group if you are the group leader

! width="150"|v0.9.0
! width="650"|Combat 2.0 Phase 1, Group Combat, New Zones
|-
| colspan="3" |
- Group Combat -

:*Join other players in combat to fight in new zones and dungeons.
:*Loot is distributed based on player slots; each player slot is one more roll for loot.
:*If a dungeon has 5 player slots and a monster is killed, it will drop 5 different instances of loot that are then distributed first to all players then in order of score.
:*For example, if 3 players kill a monster in a 5 person dungeon, all 3 will receive their slot's rolls, then the remaining 2 rolls will go to the top and second top scoring players, meaning the top and second top players get double drops whereas the lowest scoring player only gets normal drops.
:*Score formula will stay hidden for now, but it will take your participation level and your impact in the fight into account. Later on with abilities, healing etc. it will get more complicated.
:*You will only be able to party up with players from the same league. So you cannot be in same party with Ironmen players, if you are Default league character.

- Combat Mechanics -

:*Two "new" combat styles are available for the player to face, magic and range.
:*Abilities have been added to combat that can change how combat flows, such as modifying attack damage, speed, or even applying buffs/debuffs.
:*Added different hit splashes for each damage type
:*Players will get access to these (abilities, new combat styles) once Combat 2.0 Phase 2 releases. Some monsters have access to these in this patch.

- New Zone and Dungeons -

:*Yes, they all have *at least one* unique drop.
:*Chaos Wastes: Free to enter; post-Valley of Giants zone designed for two players.
:*Goblin Village: Requires a consumable key; a lower level dungeon for 3 players
:*Black Knight's Fortress: Requires a consumable key; a mid level dungeon for 3 players
:*Giant's Keep: Requires a consumable key; a high level dungeon for 5 players
:*Keys come from thematically intuitive sources.
NOTE: Due to technical limitations (and not wanting to postpone the update for 1 month+ to fix it), you WILL LEAVE the group if you disconnect/refresh the game. You won't be able to join the party again if they are still in combat. So DO NOT refresh or change devices during party combat, as it will make you leave the party. We have a solution in mind for this to fix the issue, but as mentioned, it will take some time to implement.

- New Enemies -

:*Yes :)

- New Items -

:*Many :)

- UI -

:*UI adjustments and background changes to various elements
:*Social Tab added where Hiscore was, contains Group, Friends, Blocked, and Hiscore tabs
:*Some of the features in there are still WIP, these will be implemented after this update. Didn't have the time to fit them in this update.
:*Combat UI is completely changed, characters make up a much larger focus
:*Group combat UI hides the inventory to allow all players to be visible during combat
:Stats, equipment, combat inventory, style selection are now toggleable panels
:*THE CHICKEN MAKES YOU RUN AWAY, DON'T WASTE YOUR KEYS/SCROLLS BY RANDOMLY CLICKING IT

- Settings -

:*Auto Eat now has a threshold you can select. Putting it to 0/Default is the same as the current threshold is, if you don't want to play with it.
:*Force Full Health and Full Inventory may be enabled to make sure a player doesn't forget to heal or grab food before a dungeon
:*Setting added to control who are able to send you party invites
:*Setting to remain anonymous on the monthly community data releases

- Other Changes -

:*Changes to "Crafting" enchant:
:From: Add all material costs and then reduce the cost due to the crafting enchant
:To: Reduce the cost due to the crafting enchant, round up, and then add together.
:Why: To prevent gaining "free" items. There will be more and more rare/unique crafting recipes where you require one or only a few of the resource to craft something, and this is something we wanted to prevent due to balancing reasons.
:Example:
:Before: Cost of making 9 Sapphire Necklaces: 396 Gold Bars, 8 Sapphires and 8 Gold Necklaces
:Now: Cost of making 9 Sapphire Necklaces 396 Gold Bars, 9 Sapphires and 9 Gold Necklaces
:*Increased all crafting experience received by approximately 20% across the board
:*Bunch of flavor texts added to various old and new items
:*Only showing public channels with messages within the last week
:*Fixed a bug of using commands in whisper causing a undefined tab to appear
:*Added support for monster dialogues in combat
:*Fixed the unfound image in /whois if equipping Naga's Bracelet
:*Added number formatting to offline progression messages
:*Added vendor values to all enchants, so those can be sold to NPC (if you want to)
:*Added a mod-configurable slowmode to trade chat to prevent flooding of messages

So today's update was purely for the preparation for the upcoming Achievement update. All the data tracking required by it is now in the game, and this will allow us to fix the bugs related to that and also stress test the server, as it adds A LOT of extra load on the database server.

There were also a few other things which came together with it, by accident:

:*Able to link your full equipment in chat
:*Able to link your trade listings in Trade chat
:*Idlescape's icon will have a red circle under it, if you are tabbed out and receive a PM or you are tagges
:*You can now also tag "@mod,@mods,@moderator,@moderators" in the chat to get the attention of mods. Do not abuse this! People tagging moderators without a cause will be punished with a mute, if it is malicious
:*Probably some other stuff too which I forgot already

|-
| colspan="3" |
Elite Challenges: Iteration 2, Electric Boogaloo

Big thanks to everyone for the feedback on the first iteration, we think we've cooked up something that'll be a little bit more engaging. Permanent TH buffs are awarded based on personal bests. For example, if you beat the Giants challenge at aug level 3 you get a permanent +3 TH in the Valley. This stacks with equipment TH, so if you have +6 TH then you'd end up with TH 9. Doing two level 3 aug challenge scrolls only results in +3 TH as it's based on personal best.

:*Scrolls now have stat and loot scaling multipliers! Every scroll aug will result in a stat multiplier of 1.1^level and +10% loot count. This loot multiplier is inherently different from TH, TH affects which items drop, loot multiplier affects how much of that item drop (this also affects rare uniques, like giant drops)!

:*Drop rates have been altered, most things are more common to varying degrees and are more likely to drop in a greater number.

:*One new elite challenge: the Taproot Scroll. Wonder where that drops?

:*New scroll assets that are definitely not just Nick's recolors

Some other changes include:
:*Updated Treasure Hunter tooltip
:*Updated Nimble tooltip and gave it a considerable buff.
:*Able to link your opened chests (geodes, sunken treasures, bird's nests). When you open a chest, you will receive a popup and there will be a button to link it to chat
:*A popup for item transformation in augmenting
:*Transformed items will be taken out of the slot automagically
:*Added augmentation amount when linking items in chat

|-
| colspan="3" |
Heyhey Idlescapers and Happy Easter!
Today we have somewhat larger update to introduce to you, which adds some content to the game and more interactivity. Lets get straight to the different features.
:Elite Challenges
Elite Challenges are a new feature introduced to some combat areas. Some monsters have a rare chance to drop their Elite Challenge scroll, which will give you access to a much harder monster with better loot.
These scrolls are also augmentable, which will increase the encounters in the Challenge and also give you better loot, by giving you higher Treasure Hunter boost on each skill.
When you complete the challenge, there will be a server-wide announcement if it was a new record. Default and Ironman characters will compete in their own records. Keep in mind, some of the challenges may be extremely hard, but really rewarding!
:Event Shop
In the Event Shop you will be able to spend your Event Tokens on various stuff. Right now they are some items from Christmas Event, and buffs. Those buffs work the exact same way as buffs received from cooking. So if you already have a cooking buff, buying the same kind of buff from the Shop will increase the stacks of that buff. Each purchasable buff will give you 3 stacks of the buff.
:Easter Hunt
This year's Easter Event will be quite small, as we wanted to spend our development time on actual permanent content rather than on seasonal events. But even if it is small, I'm glad how it turned out to be :)
In this event, you will have to find Easter Codes across the whole game (and other sites too, but everything is Idlescape related), and then enter those codes into the popup menu. The codes aren't single-use, so everyone will get the chance to use them once they find them. There are a total of 25 codes hidden, and the first three to find the code will have their name announced to the whole server. Entering a correct code will also reward you with 1000 Event Tokens.
:Other stuff:
:*Added filtering to Scrollcrafting UI. You will now be able to click what equipment slot you would like to craft a scroll to.
:*Fixed not getting enough cosmic and mind essences when applying enchants to items, when using Enlightenment buff
:*Offline time message in character menu more specific
:*Hopefully fixed some random disconnects
:*Added cape tag to Festive Shroud

=====v0.8.7 - Event Tokens + other=====

! width="150"|23 March 2021
! width="150"|v0.8.7
! width="650"|Event Tokens + other
|-
| colspan="3" |
Today the Christmas stuff got finally converted to Event Tokens, yay! If you have questions about the conversion or want to know more, I will include summary of that to the bottom of this post. But now to all the patch notes:
:*Removed Christmas category from crafting
:*Reverted the 72h offline timer back to 12 hours
:*Added a setting to hide /me messages
:*Fixed overflow issue with global buffs
:*Improved moderator tools
:*Fixed being able to block and unblock the same user multiple times, without producing an error message
Some other backend changes, not sure if they were already on server or not :D
:CONVERSION
So, most of the Christmas resources got deleted from inventories, but the gear and some other stuff still remain and will stay in your inventories. The Snowglobe will be a "trophy" from the event and hopefully give you some flexing chances down the life of Idlescape!
Each player were given a rank based on their participation in the event. This was done by looking at the Christmas spirit amount in player's Snowglobes. We first intended to give players more Christmas Spirit when converting/deleting the items, but didn't make much sense anymore 2 months after the end of the event. So decided to stick with only Christmas Spirit and leave it intact.
Rank 1 player got 100k tokens, whereas the last ranked player received 10k tokens. The scaling between those amounts were linear. A total of 2227 characters participated in the Event (meaning their Christmas Spirit was more than 0).

The Event Tokens will be used as a currency in the future Event Shop update. Every new event will have items put to the shop after the event's end, and will be removed from there after some period. It will usually contain some event-specific stuff, but might also include different buffs etc. you can buy for yourself.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me!

|-
| colspan="3" |
Hey!

Today is the day what most of you have been waiting for; Ironman mode for Idlescape!

Creating an Ironman character will disable your access to the marketplace and also Shrine is disabled, so you won't get the benefits of that either. Also the upcoming player trading will be disabled, and when party combat comes, Ironmen can only party up with other ironmen.

Together with the update you can make multiple characters on a single account, which is right now capped to maximum of two. So you can create one Default character and one Ironman. This limit is only temporary.

We also released Idlescape its own forum's today, which you can find here: https://forum.idlescape.com/. Will be posting there more in the future, and also add development updates and patch notes.

Now to the patch notes:

:IRONMAN
:*New League mode, can be selected upon character creation
:*Denied access to any player-to-player interaction except donation exp boosts and chat
:*Will have their own Hiscores
:*"World first" server-wide messages for people who achieve those milestones first
:*New character creation interface
:*You can login to both your Default and Ironmen character at the same time on different tabs. No need for incognito or other tricks
:*Ironmen only chat
:*Ironmen's total level in chat is gray
:Loot changes
:*Added Branch drops to Chickens
:*Added Silver to Goblins
:*Added Rune Slates to Lesser Demons, Greater Demons and Imps
:*Added Coal to Imps
:*Added Rune Slates to Mysterious Seeds
:*Boosted Mysterious Seed drop chance from low level combat areas by ~50%
:Other changes:
:*Cooking timer is now in much more readable format
:*New icons for essences
:*Added your current action on the browser tab title
:*Max button in shop and marketplace now takes your own gold into account, and sets the max to that if you don't have enough gold
:*Total time and amount of scrolls is now shown when crafting scrolls
:*Added descriptive info box on scrollcrafting screen
:*Added "Cost per stack" column in marketplace when shopping for food
I might have missed a few things, but this should be the most important stuff. Happy racing on Ironmen Hiscores! :)

Heyhey,

It has been a pretty long time with no updates to the game. I have been working a lot with fixing security issues and also ensuring the stability of the server. With today's update most of the server lags, items disappearing, ping rising etc. should be gone. I also managed to fix a few rare critical bugs which had been in Idlescape since day 1, so that is nice :D. Below is a short summary what happened in this update

:*Server's database got changed to a completely new one
:*Fixed item's position changing in inventory if it starts with an emoji
:*Item tooltip's now appear on top of everything
:*Reworked and brought back offline progress message
:*Fixed a bug where people were unable to login to the game, related to renaming items
:*Added more descriptive timers to mutes and tradebans
:*Fixed "then" to "than" in marketplace sell info window :)))
:*Brought chat history back
:*Fixed marketplace "lag"
:*Brought an old easter egg back
:*Fixed players online and registered players on landing page
:*Fixed a bug of players not disconnecting after being offline 12 hours
:*10+ stability fixes to backend to ensure the server still functions under high loads
Now that these things are out of the way, next bigger update will be Ironman! Gonna start working on it now :)

P.S. please stop spreading false news or rumors about updates, resets etc. anywhere. It is just frustrating for everyone to handle.

Hellou!

On this week's update, you will see a lot of changes to crafting and augmenting. Every recipe in crafting was buffed in regards to resources required per experience. I won't be stating every recipe changes, but rough outline is this:

:*Bronze 60% resource decrease
:*Iron 50% resource decrease
:*Mithril 35% resource decrease
:*Adamantite 20% resource decrease
:*Rune 10% resource decrease
:*Augmenting costs were also tuned to mirror changes to crafting recipes.
:*Experience received from crafting received a major buff also. For example, stygian and rune now gives 2x more experience than before, as where bronze is almost the same as it was.

With these changes I hope crafting and augmenting will become more relevant in the early stages of the game, and not stay as end-game content. These changes will also make playing the upcoming Ironmen more appealing.

I also added item's augment level and enchant to be visible on the item's icon. No need to hover over the item anymore to check its enchant or augment level.

Thank you for playing, see you in Idlescape! :)

Hey!

It has been a while without any bigger updates. There were some other stuff which had to be dealt with before proceeding with making weekly updates to Idlescape. From now on we should be back on track on weekly updates :)

Today's update will include the following:

:*Changed Ladles augmenting cost from 1000 burnt fish to 600 burnt fish.
:*Superheat and Gathering enchants will now stack. If both of them proc, you will get one ore and one bar.
:*Removed white borders in health bar in combat for Firefox users.
:*Public Channel list will now show how many users are in each channel, and will be sorted with most popular channel on top.
:*Fixed problems with channel commands.
:*Satchels, Sunken Treasures, Geodes and Bird Nests will now show in activity log even if combat drops are toggled off.
:*Reverted resource cost on Hoes back to the normal. Took way longer to fix this than expected xd
:*Marketplace buying and selling popups will now use the same amount slider as items in your inventory.
:*You can now read books from Vault.
:*Slightly buffed Refining enchant.
:*Reduced gold required to hit Shrine milestones
Next week's update will be bigger than this, and will probably affect each player, especially new ones.

Thanks for all the support! <3
