**Future patch notes will be posted on our public Trello board and linked inside the game https://trello.com/b/ft6ZZ0is/idle-grindia-roadmap**

First small update for K+ Beta, mainly focusing on bugfixes but also adding the most requested feature which is stat explanation! # .002 * Hovering over primary stats on Stat page will now show a brief explanation * Improved item comparison (green arrow should now suggest better item in most cases) * Premium Awakening no longer resets enhancement level * Daily Missions should now properly display Zones in World 3+ * World 3 Story scenes repeating after prestige/loading the game fixed * Pet Shop selections should persist through prestige/loading the game properly now (also roll something other than Unicorn) * Proper names added for World 1-3 Dungeons and Raids

# .003 What's new ----- - **World 4 unlocked** World 4 Salty Seaside will now be accessible for anyone who defeats World 3 Boss Raid on Story difficulty. - **New zones, dungeon and raid** Salty Seaside includes 40 normal zones, new Dungeon and Boss Raid of Tier 4 difficulty - **4 new enemy types, 1 new boss** Like every other world, Salty Seaside comes with 4 new distinct enemies dropping three new world jewels required to craft Tier 4 recipes. - **2 new pets** Turtle and Dolphin come out of the - Coming Soon - state providing some cool new bonuses for our Hero. - **2 new artifacts** Lifeguard and Bubble artifact shards will now drop from World 4 Boss Raid What changed ----- - **Enemy Scaling** Enemies' power will now vary more within tier - there will be a bigger difference between fighting something in early Zones of a World compared to later ones - **Daily Missions streak changes** Daily Missions with lower streak will no longer require zones/enemy types from later Worlds. Diminishing returns added to high streaks so both requirements and rewards scale a bit slower after around 20-30 consecutive missions - **Offline gains improved** This is a small change that should increase worst-case scenario gains. There is still a bit more work required for Offline gains to fill more fair than active play (world jewels, progressing missions/zone unlocks, etc.) - **Changes to Artifacts** All six Artifacts that were currently in the game came out of [PH] state - they now have unique icons and their special skill improves with each star added. - **Changes to in-dungeon/raid behavior** Dungeons and Raids are now treated as one long, multi-enemy battle - your character only applies starting bonuses once, they no longer reset shield, cooldowns or effects, in-between enemies - **Equipped Pets will now use Mythic skin if you have at least 10 mythic shards** There is no toggle if you want to use regular skin yet - **Proper names for some of Tier 2 and 3 items (1-H Weapons, Body armors) added** What got fixed ----- - Main Quest for World 3 Boss unlock added - Enhance and Awaken forge will remember the last selected item instead of defaulting into body armor - Character portrait on the top bar fixed (apparently not but almost there :D) - Dungeon/Raid Wanted poster now displays proper location/boss - Dungeons/Raids will now drop jewels only specific to their World - Dungeons/Raids will now have proper backgrounds - Upgrade costs for Master quality Common items fixed - Heal values are now properly boosted by INT stat # .003a - Non-story difficulty World 3 and 4 Dungeons and Raids fix # .003b - Difficulties unlocked in World 3/4 Dungeons and Raids will now properly persist between prestiges/after loading the game - Notification icon will be displayed over Items and Artifacts button if you have at least one complete Artifact and none equipped

# .004 What's new ----- - **Item Enhance/Awaken rework** The biggest change in this patch, item enhancement and awakening is now tied to the recipe, not item itself. All upgrades persist between Prestiges, random chance of success/failure has been removed, prices have been adjusted. Max Awakening is now limited by prestige and added as one of the unlocks - **Light Elf added** Our 5th character is no longer a broken mess, it now works properly and has non-placeholder skills and challenges! - **Normal Hare, Unicorn, Dog and Dolphin shards now drop from Boss Raids** The other half of normal pets is no longer Shop exclusive and were added to Boss drop tables. Good luck filling your collections! - **Prestige Rewards** 20, 40, 60, 80 prestige level rewards added (Max Awakening +1) What changed: ----- - Cure skill cooldown increased 15 -> 20 seconds - Escape button added ot the Dungeon/Boss screen - If both Offline and Online savefiles exist, the most recent one will be highlighted. - Setting screens will now say 'connected' instead of 'ok' if you are properly connected to Kongregate/PlayFab. What got fixed: ----- - Skill loadout for Magic Weapons saves properly - Artifacts will now properly re-equip on load - World 4 Dungeon and Raid being available will properly show notification icon - You can no longer sell Artifacts for unlimited bronze bars

Uploaded a small update with improvements to .004 based on player's feedback today: # .004-5 *Enhance/Awake change will also work retroactively for .004 savefiles, just go to Forge -> Enhance and select the recipe, it will update the currently equipped item if it is behind the recipe.* What's new ----- - **Enhance/Awaken will now affect both the recipe and the item** If you upgrade the recipe of currently equipped item it's enhance/awaken level will increase too so you no longer have to recraft it. - **Difficulty Tiers 5-8 for World 1 Dungeon added** A sneak peek of future Tiers and a chance to get increased loot (if you can handle the challenge!). This Dungeon will drop proper Tier 5 rewards except World 5+ pet shards. - **Rage timer** Enemies will now grow in strength the longer you fight them. This shouldn't affect normal encounters and most address fights that go beyond 5-10 minute mark. What changed ----- - **World jewel drop rates increased** Base drop chance for jewels increased to 50%/5%/1% that scales upwards with enemies' level. Base number of jewels dropped in normal zones slightly increased. - **Silver bar drops increased** Roughly between 2 to 5 times more silver bars from different sources. - **Dungeon drops changed** Base drop rates increased, gold bars and jewels I, II and III from selectable reward significantly increased. - **Enhance prices decreased** All items will start with jewels I and only require IIs and IIIs at higher enhance/awakening levels - **Upgrading Skills is now faster but costs more coins** What got fixed ----- - Premium awakening fixed

.005 What's new ----- - **New prestige rewards added** Rewards 27, 32, 33, 34, 35, 38, 42, 43, 44, 48, 52, 53, 54, 62. 63, 64, 68, 78, 83, 98 - **New level 5 and 10 bonuses added to skills** First Aid lv10; Break Armor lvl 5, 10; Cure lv 10; Fireball lv 5, 10; Ice Armor lv5, 10; Thunder Armor lv5, 10 What changed ----- - **Bonus stats from Awakening decreased** The scaling on items got a bit out of control to the point of all other aspects of the character being kinda irrelevant (including even item's rarity to some extent). This is a solid nerf across the board, but with skills being better and some of the Pets having offensive scaling now building/improving your character should be more interesting and less one-dimensional - **All items' enhance/awakening will be synced to their respective recipe** For consistency sake and to avoid inventory shenanigans - **All damage over time effects now properly scale with both offensive and defensive stats** Poisons are once again scary - **Stat/damage multipliers now properly apply after all flat bonuses are added** This is a small change but bonus damage from pets should now be properly multiplied - **The coin cost of upgrading skills scales more sharply with each level** - ***Ice Armor* and *Thunder Armor* skills rework/fix** Fix the bug with Armor skills' buff running out 'wasting' your next skill. Ice Armor changed to "Increase END WIS by X% for 12 second, when expired deal Y% magic damage to the enemy". Thunder Armor changed to "Deal X% magic damage over 20 seconds,, when expired deal Y% magic damage to the enmy" - ***Break Weapon* and *Break Armor* skills rework** They both debuff % of the stat instead of flat value, damage increased, cooldown decreased - ***Bonuses* passive skill lvl 10 perk changed 5->25% faster skill learning** - **Fox and Unicorn pets buffed** Active: +100 damage, +5% damage; Passive: +1 damage / level, +0.1% damage / level (Physical for Fox, Magical for Unicorn) - **Mythic Fox and Unicorn pets buffed** Skill changed from +25/50/75/100/150 to +25/50/100/150/200 - **Dolphin pet buffed** Active: +300 END WIS, +10% END WIS; Passive: +1 END WIS/level +0.05% END WIS/level - **You can select between normal/mythic skin for equipped pet** - **Prestige rewards above 15 are now properly numbered** - **Dungeon reward will now display name of the pet shard** What got fixed ----- - First Aid heals/scales properly - First Strike actually works now (start new battle with % of the turn timer filled) - Prestidigitation no longer gives absurd crit damage bonus

It's not a big change, but the overall experience of using Forge should be much smoother now (panel retains last mode/type/recipe, correctly highlights missing resources, enhance/awaken merged into one panel, max enhance button added etc.) - **Recipe Level Bonus is now multiplied by Awaken level** - **Enemies got some CC and Crit resist** What got fixed ----- - *Walking* passive properly adds First Strike from level 5 and 10 bonuses

# .010 Double gold/Double material bonuses from the Featured section of the Shop are now separate multipliers instead of being an additive +100% to the ones in the Upgrade tab.
