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)
- No, enchantments do not stack, the highest level one will be the one that is picked.
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 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?

Talismans
How do I obtain Talismans?
- Currently you can obtain them as rare drops from chests and as combat drops, currently Fire Giants, Moss Giants, Ice Giants, and Bone Giants drop talismans.
I opened a chest but didn't get a talisman!
- There is a 20% chance to get a talisman from a chest.
Enchanting
Enchanting is a broad subject, you can read more about it on Enchanting
Does the Superheating enchantment give smithing xp?
- No.
Does the Superheating enchantment require all the ore and heat it normally requires to make an bar?
- No additional ore or heat required. You mine one ore and produce one bar.
Does the Superheating enchantment require smithing level to smelt bars?
- No. It can smelt any bar you can mine.
Does the Gathering enchantment work with Superheating?
- Yes, if it activates at the same time it'll produce 1 bar and 1 ore of the ore you're currently mining
How do smithing enchantments work?
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.
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.
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.
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.
