There is currently a running application process to express interest in becoming a moderator found at https://dyno.gg/form/760e2ad0. Applicants will NOT be contacted after they have filled the form, even in case of rejection. Reaching out to the moderation team to discuss your application will likely get your application rejected.
 +
 
 +
Moderators are picked by the admin team when we feel there is a need for more help and have found a possible new moderator.

===Can I stack enchantments?===
 
−
 
 
−
::No, enchantments do not stack, the highest level one will be the one that is picked.<br />(ex: wearing a ''Protection 5'' helm and a ''Protection 3'' chest, only the Helm is counted for 5 ''Protection'')
 
−
 
 
−
===How many actions does this game have?===
 
−
 
 
−
::Idlescape has Infinite actions. The only limitation we have is when you are offline, progress stops after 12 hours.
 
−
 
 
−
===Does this game have offline progress?===
 
−
 
 
−
::Yes, Idlescape has up to 12 hour offline progress!
 
−
 
 
−
===What does the number after my name in chat mean?===
 
−
 
 
−
::This is your total level of all your skills combined. Default color (white) are regular players, while gray total levels are [[Ironman]] mode accounts.
 
−
 
 
−
===Do food bonuses stack with equipment bonuses?===
 
−
 
 
−
::Yes, food bonus enchantments stack with item enchantments.
 
−
 
 
−
===What is the highest level I can obtain?===
 
−
 
 
−
::The maximum level obtained in each skill is 99.
 
−
 
 
−
::After level 99, there are mastery levels. Each mastery level is incrementally harder to obtain and adds one effective level. There is no realistic limit of mastery levels.
 
−
 
 
−
===How do I obtain heat?===
 
−
 
 
−
::Burn logs, coal or sticks. Alternatively, pyre logs give more heat, but require crafting, cooking and fishing to obtain.
 
−
 
 
−
===How do people change the name of their items, eg. "Fork and Spoon"  instead of "Ladle" in the marketplace?===
 
−
 
 
−
::You can change the name of an item through Augmenting.  When you put the item into the augmenting interface, you can double-click the name above the item to change the name.
 
−
 
 
−
===Why do some people have grey numbers after their names, and some have white numbers?===
 
−
 
 
−
::Grey numbers signify that player is playing in [[Getting Started#Ironman Mode|Ironman Mode]]. White numbers signify players from normal mode.
 
−
 
 
−
===How can I change name?===
 
−
 
 
−
::To change your name you can send feedback in-game (Press the three stripes on the top left, scroll down to "send feedback") '''Make sure the name isn't already taken, you can check using /whois <name>''' Then write your request with a well-written poem about the new name. '''Include the new name as part of the poem!''' (Also make sure you make clear what the name should be and how it should be spelled/capatilized) If the poem is good, you'll get the new name as soon as one of the people in charge has time to change it.

−
===How can I get a chat icon?===
 
−
There are multiple ways to get chat icons. When you have one you can choose it in your settings.

+
==How do I join the Idlescape team?==
  
−
====I opened a chest but didn't get a talisman!====
+
:Currently the team largely consists of members of the community who dedicate time and effort to improving Idlescape.
  
−
::There is a 20% chance to get a talisman from a chest.
+
The main roles fulfilled by members of the community are the community contributor role and the moderator role:  
  
−
='''Enchanting'''=
+
:*Community contributors help the game improve by working on the design of the game, fixing bugs, implementing features, and much more.
−
Enchanting is a broad subject, you can read more about it on [[Enchanting]]
+
:*Moderators are moderating the community part of the game, that includes in-game chat and discord, to stay within the [[rules]] and are involved with managing other parts of the community aspects of the game.
  
−
===Does the Superheating enchantment give smithing xp?===
+
:If you are interested in becoming a community contributor, it is recommended you send a message to the admin team. Make sure to include all important information such as your experience with game design or similar tasks (preferably with examples!), your motivation, what relevant skills you have, what exactly you would like to do, etc.
  
−
::No.
+
:If you would like to submit an application for a moderating role you can do so [https://dyno.gg/form/760e2ad0 here] (you need to be a member of the Idlescape [https://discord.gg/kFpscRm discord] channel to be able to submit a application). Notice: this does not mean that you will become a mod, be contacted about your application or in any other way notified about it, unless you were to progress further in the selection of becoming a moderator.
  
−
===Does the Superheating enchantment require all the ore and heat it normally requires to make an bar?===
+
=Frequent Questions=
 +
==Can I stack enchantments?==
  
−
::No additional ore or heat required. You mine one ore and produce one bar.
+
:No, enchantments do not stack, the highest level one will be the one that is picked.<br />(ex: wearing a ''Protection 5'' helm and a ''Protection 3'' chest, only the Helm is counted for 5 ''Protection'')
  
−
===Does the Superheating enchantment require smithing level to smelt bars?===
+
==Do food bonuses stack with equipment bonuses?==
  
−
::No. It can smelt any bar you can mine.
+
:Yes, food bonus enchantments stack with item enchantments.
  
−
===Does the Gathering enchantment work with Superheating?===
+
==How many actions does this game have?==
  
−
::Yes, if it activates at the same time it'll produce 1 bar and 1 ore of the ore you're currently mining
+
:Idlescape has Infinite actions. The only limitation we have is when you are offline, progress stops after 12 hours, or 24 hours if you are subscribed to Idlescape+.
  
−
===How do smithing enchantments work?===
+
==Does this game have offline progress?==
  
 +
:Yes, Idlescape has up to 24 hour offline progress!
  
−
Inferno immediately grants another bar, using the normal ore requirement, the normal heat requirement, and grants the normal amount of experience.  It can trigger whenever a bar is smelted, including right after an Inferno activation.
+
==What is the highest level I can obtain?==
  
−
Efficiency grants another bar without using any ore or heat.  It grants no experience.  It can trigger whenever a bar is smelted including all subsequent Inferno activation.
+
:The maximum level obtained in each skill is 99.
  
−
Scholar grants more experience but destroys the item.  If Inferno activates, the item will still be destroyed, still grant more experience, still take heat and ore. If Efficiency activates then you will obtain the bar and the normal experience.
+
:After level 99, there are mastery levels. Each mastery level is incrementally harder to obtain and adds one effective level. There is no realistic limit of mastery levels.
  
−
Wealth destroys all bars, giving you the ''vendor value'' and more, depending on how much Wealth you have.  Its Inferno and Efficiency rules are the same as that of Scholar.  If  wealth and scholar are used on a bar, it will grant more experience AND money, which will not destroy two bars or take extra ore.
+
==How do I obtain heat?==
−
<br />
 
−
===When do my augmenting results show up in the chat?===
 
  
−
::Items show up at augment (20 - (2 x # enchanting slots)) .
+
:Burn logs, coal or sticks. Alternatively, pyre logs give more heat, but require crafting, cooking and fishing to obtain. Click on the heat icon above your inventory to filter for all items that can be burned.

General

Who is working on this game?

There are a few people working on this game with different roles.

Tasks of people within a role are not set in stone, but in general, moderators keep chat/discord normal and help players out with small problems. Community contributors help develop new parts of the game on a voluntary basis. Artists create the artwork for the game. The developers create the game.

There is currently a running application process to express interest in becoming a moderator found at https://dyno.gg/form/760e2ad0. Applicants will NOT be contacted after they have filled the form, even in case of rejection. Reaching out to the moderation team to discuss your application will likely get your application rejected.

Moderators are picked by the admin team when we feel there is a need for more help and have found a possible new moderator.

How do I join the Idlescape team?

Currently the team largely consists of members of the community who dedicate time and effort to improving Idlescape.

The main roles fulfilled by members of the community are the community contributor role and the moderator role:

  • Community contributors help the game improve by working on the design of the game, fixing bugs, implementing features, and much more.
  • Moderators are moderating the community part of the game, that includes in-game chat and discord, to stay within the rules and are involved with managing other parts of the community aspects of the game.
If you are interested in becoming a community contributor, it is recommended you send a message to the admin team. Make sure to include all important information such as your experience with game design or similar tasks (preferably with examples!), your motivation, what relevant skills you have, what exactly you would like to do, etc.
If you would like to submit an application for a moderating role you can do so here (you need to be a member of the Idlescape discord channel to be able to submit a application). Notice: this does not mean that you will become a mod, be contacted about your application or in any other way notified about it, unless you were to progress further in the selection of becoming a moderator.

Frequent Questions

Can I stack enchantments?

No, enchantments do not stack, the highest level one will be the one that is picked.
(ex: wearing a Protection 5 helm and a Protection 3 chest, only the Helm is counted for 5 Protection)

Do food bonuses stack with equipment bonuses?

Yes, food bonus enchantments stack with item enchantments.

How many actions does this game have?

Idlescape has Infinite actions. The only limitation we have is when you are offline, progress stops after 12 hours, or 24 hours if you are subscribed to Idlescape+.

Does this game have offline progress?

Yes, Idlescape has up to 24 hour offline progress!

What is the highest level I can obtain?

The maximum level obtained in each skill is 99.
After level 99, there are mastery levels. Each mastery level is incrementally harder to obtain and adds one effective level. There is no realistic limit of mastery levels.

How do I obtain heat?

Burn logs, coal or sticks. Alternatively, pyre logs give more heat, but require crafting, cooking and fishing to obtain. Click on the heat icon above your inventory to filter for all items that can be burned.

What does the number after my name in chat mean? Why do some people have colored numbers after their names?

This is your total level of all your skills combined. The color depends on the league that your character belongs to.

Game Mode Color in chat Active
Regular [Level] Yes
Ironman [Level] Yes
No Gather Ironman [Level] Yes
Pre-Season [Level] No
Season 1 Regular [Level] No
Season 1 Ironman [Level] No
Season 2 Buff Madness [Level] Yes

Why do some players have stars behind their levels in chat?

When a player reaches max level (99) in all skills, their level in chat will now show their total mastery levels rather than regular levels.

How can I get a chat icon?

There are multiple ways to get chat icons. When you have one you can choose it in your chat settings.

Icons are never given out on request, and there is no point in asking for them. Donation icons are only obtained through buying in-game buffs and cosmetic items with platinum. Bug Finder and Community Stars icons are given on staff incentive after several (and/or serious) bug reports or if the player is providing game related assets/guides/improvements etc. Asking for a bug finder/community star icon does not get you one quicker.
