v0.10.0 - Fishing Rework!
11 November 2021 | v0.10.0 | ExpandFishing Rework! |
---|---|---|
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!
To use the baits simply add them to the new tacklebox inventory which is now visible on the fishing page. ![]() 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! ![]() 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:
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? ![]() Yes, Stormy Seas is a dangerous location. ![]() Last but not least, Lofi Beats to Fish in Idlescape To: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n071AKmCTB0Remember, INFO is watching. :) |

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 -

v0.8.12 - Achievement Backend + Minor QoL
30 July 2021 | v0.8.12 | ExpandAchievement Backend + Minor QoL |
---|---|---|
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:

v0.8.10 - Elite Challenge Changes + Linking Opened Chests
21 April 2021 | v0.8.10 | ExpandElite Challenge Changes + Linking Opened Chests |
---|---|---|
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.
Some other changes include:

4 April 2021 | v0.8.8 | ExpandEvent Shop + Easter Hunt + Elite Challenges + QoL |
---|---|---|
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 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!
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.
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.

v0.8.7 - Event Tokens + other
23 March 2021 | v0.8.7 | ExpandEvent Tokens + other |
---|---|---|
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:
Some other backend changes, not sure if they were already on server or not :D
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! -Boohi |
