Idle Forge — The Ultimate Blacksmith Idle RPG

🗼 Update Notes — August 1–4, 2026
Blacksmiths, the Infinite Tower gains two new features, and a solid batch of fixes has landed.

🗼 Daily Sweep — Once a day, replay every floor you have already cleared in a single click and collect all the loot at once. Reached floor 200? You bank the gold, hammers, materials and gems from all 200 floors without fighting a single battle. The counter then restarts just above your record: the time you save goes straight into pushing that record higher.

🧰 Tower Chest — A chest now fills up on its own while you are away, based on your best floor. The higher you climb, the more it pays. It fills for up to 12 hours, and its artwork evolves as the hours pass: from a sleeping crate to a trove overflowing with gold, gems and weapons. Drop by to empty it regularly.

⚠️ Ascension — Worth knowing before your next ascension: it now resets your Tower progress to zero. That is the trade-off that makes the Sweep possible — otherwise you would be sweeping 300 floors with a beginner’s gear. Your all-time record is kept: your titles, achievements, the Discord leaderboard and the ×2/×3/×4 combat speeds are all untouched.

🎒 Inventory — Capacity goes from 300 to 700 slots, for everyone, with nothing to do.

🎨 New icons — The navigation icons and the Laboratory ones are now all hand-drawn in the Forge style. No more mixing system emoji with illustrations.

🔨 Two fixes that affected your gains:
• Hammers — The regeneration counter displayed up to 5 times less than what you were actually credited. You were receiving the right amount, but the collect button appeared later than it should have. Fixed: the number you see is finally the real one.
• Pets — The Day 5 and Day 7 login reward tiers announced a specific species but handed out a random one. You now get the one that is shown.

Happy forging, everyone!

📢 New announcement: ⚒️ Update — Equipment attributes, Reforge & Power rework
A big one since the Arena rework!

⚔️ EQUIPMENT ATTRIBUTES
Every forged item can now roll 0 to 4 random attributes on top of its
base stats — duplicates allowed: 4× ATK on a single weapon is a build,
not an accident. The higher the rarity, the more numerous and powerful
the attributes. Two identical items are no longer equal: the hunt for
the perfect piece starts now.

🔁 TARGETED REFORGE
Love an item but not its attributes? Reforge rerolls them without EVER
touching its base stats or its socketed gems. The hammer cost rises with
each reforge on the same item (capped), and an equipped item can be
reforged without unequipping it. For a reasonable target, reforging ends
up cheaper than forging new items until one drops — keeping an item you
love should pay off. Chasing perfection is what costs. Two-step
confirmation from 2 attributes onward: the operation cannot be undone.

💥 POWER: CRIT AND CRIT DAMAGE FINALLY PRICED CORRECTLY
Your Power number will move, and that’s intended. Crit and crit damage
were priced as flat stats when they actually MULTIPLY your damage in
real combat: crit damage was undervalued by a factor of ~85. At equal
displayed Power, a crit-damage-heavy build won 98.9% of its duels. Power
now applies them as a multiplier on attack, exactly like combat does.
Good news: the median barely moves and NO invasion threshold had to be
re-indexed — what changes is that the ranking between builds becomes
honest.
Fixed along the way: power leaderboards (players and guilds) were
computing base HP at forge level 1 for everyone, and the client’s stat
price table was overwriting the correct one — your displayed power was
being calculated with outdated weights.

📢 New announcement: ⚒️ Update — Redrawn skins, Initiative, Lifesteal & rebalance
A lot has landed since July 24th!

🎨 CHARACTERS REDRAWN
All 11 appearances have been fully redrawn as animated SVG, in a single
consistent art style. You’ll see them everywhere: Appearances panel,
character sheet, Tower and PVP replay (both you AND your opponent).
Each weapon has its own attack animation, synced to the blows traded.

🌈 COLORWAYS
9 colorways available (Ember, Void, Frost, Aurum, Verdant, Necrosis,
Storm, Banner, Workshop). Every skin keeps its original colorway for
free, the other 8 can be bought with gold. 100% cosmetic: no colorway
grants any bonus whatsoever.

⚔️ INITIATIVE (formerly Speed)
Speed becomes Initiative: it decides who strikes first. If the enemy has
more Initiative than you, it lands a free hit before the first exchange
— in both the Tower and Invasions. In PVP, your opponent’s Initiative is
hidden. It no longer factors into boss damage (bosses don’t strike back).

🩸 LIFESTEAL REWORKED
Lifesteal is now a true percentage stat, capped at 25%, and it finally
works everywhere: Tower, Invasions AND PVP (heal line in the combat log).
It used to max out by level 5 — reaching 25% now takes a real build:
Bat companion (up to 9%), Bat family Beastiary (8%), with room reserved
for equipment and future gems. New Lifesteal row on the character sheet.

✨ SKINS & TITLES ARE NOW A REAL BUILD CHOICE
Several skin bonuses simply weren’t being applied — fixed (Midas +15%
gold, New Player +10%). Weak skins were rebalanced around clear
identities (Midas economy, Druid tank, Void/Crystal/Bone combat & boss),
and one title was reworked to boost hammer regeneration.

Happy forging! ⚒️
