IdleArc · Patch Notes

Season Updatev1.2.1

June 26, 2026

The biggest IdleArc update yet — a brand-new Rogue class, the endless Tower, the Echo World, account-wide Achievements, gear Skins, Rune Words and a full Arcstone Ascent rework, alongside a top-to-bottom balance and quality-of-life pass.

New Features

Permanent + Seasonal Realms — a dual-character system: a Permanent character that never resets, and a fresh Seasonal character each season.
A new class: the Rogue — a dual-wielding assassin with twin daggers, inherent double-hit, and three skill trees: Assassin, Shadow and Thief.
The Tower — a new endless climb of 30-second boss duels that hit back, with a tougher boss every 5th floor and no ceiling.
The Echo World — six new endgame biomes with fresh monsters, materials and permanent Echo Blessings; Epic, Legendary and Infernal gear now drop far earlier.
Achievements — permanent, account-wide badges for you and your guild that rank up as you play and carry across seasons.
Your gear evolves as you upgrade it — your armor, weapons and jewellery take on new artwork and names at each rarity tier, up to a final Awakened look.
Gear Skins & the Wardrobe — buy cosmetic skins with Arcstone to change the look of your equipped gear.
Gear Set Bonuses — complete your loadout at a rarity tier for powerful always-on bonuses that climb through Awaken ranks.
Gilded Drops — every drop can roll Gilded, Radiant or Mythic, giving its bonus the power of a higher-tier item.
Combat Stances — pick Aggressive, Beastmaster or Harmony to favour attack, pet, or a balanced hybrid build.
A new stat: Intelligence — a third primary stat that boosts your damage.
Rune Words — place matching rune types next to each other to form 24 named words granting extra bonuses.
Rune Awakening — awaken runes with Runic Cores to multiply their entire bonus, with no rank cap.
Arcstone Ascent reworked — the daily pool is now a rolling 24-hour window, with a new daily Tribute Cache of scaling rewards.
Talisman Infusion — talisman upgrades are now a guaranteed gold + ruby cost with no gambling, plus a chance at free Lucky levels.
Talisman Inscriptions — endgame talisman sacrifices let you pick one of three rolled affixes to keep forever.
Class skill trees doubled — every class gained new skills, so each tier now offers a real choice between two.
Pets now level by fighting — Pet Mastery XP comes from combat, so pets grow as you play and no longer cost Rubies.
Pet affixes reworked — pets hold up to four affix slots now, level with no cap (and in bulk), and Evolve to unlock more.
Favourite Pets — spend Pet Mastery Points to make the species you want hatch more often.
Auto-Presets — set a gear/rune/skill/pet loadout per activity and it applies on the fly; unlocks for Arcstone, account-wide.
Auto-Match Pet — Premium keeps your strongest pet for the current enemy active automatically.
Passive Skill Tree presets — keep up to three separate trees and swap builds anytime.
Retype Drop Bonuses — swap an item's bonus between Attack and Pet Damage without re-farming a second set of gear.
New pets to hatch — Zolwik, Grzybek and Kurcze join the roster; Ameba retires.

Progression & Balance

Combat reworked — monsters have more health and hit back harder, so survival, defense and life-on-hit matter. Your overall progression speed is unchanged.
Faster climb through monster levels 10–30 — about 30% fewer kills per level.
Warrior swords and Mage wands gain power faster early — their base damage ramps up sooner through the lower tiers, with the endgame ceiling unchanged.
Endgame upgrading is less grindy — failed upgrades refund 30%, and the guaranteed-success safety net arrives sooner.
Pet damage from gear and runes rebalanced — lower in the early and mid game, with the awakened endgame preserved.
Pet compounding repriced by rarity, with per-rarity level caps (Legendary stays uncapped).
Pet rarity is now rolled independently of species — any pet can hatch at any rarity.
Pet eggs drop half as often from combat.
Elemental weakness bonus reduced — hitting a monster with the element it's weak to now adds +25% damage, down from +50%.
Ruby income retuned — high-rarity salvage gives fewer rubies, and combat ruby drops now scale with your power.
Dodge now caps at 90%, so no build is ever completely un-hittable.
Skill-tree flat damage, defense and Life on Kill now scale much higher in the late game.
Weekly quests rebalanced for season start, with eased ruby payouts in the opening weeks.
Guilds can buy up to 5 extra member slots with the guild's rubies.

Quality of Life

Welcome-back summary — see everything your character earned while you were away.
Filtering & sorting added to your Stash, Runes and Pets — narrow by type, rarity, bonus and more.
More combat stats on your character sheet — Boss Damage, Lucky Chance, elemental conversions and more, each with a tooltip.
Plan skill-tree changes before committing, with refunds — free on the passive tree, 1 Arcstone per class-skill point.
The Arcstone Store is now a tabbed one-stop hub — packs, skins, names and account-wide utility unlocks together — and you can gift skins to other players.
Preview any class's full skill tree before you pick or change class.
Time Boosts moved onto your dashboard, with a reminder when none are active.
Character screen reorganized — Runes get their own tab, Materials joined the Stash, and the gear layout is cleaner.
Premium keeps both your Permanent and Seasonal characters fighting at once.
Leaderboard badges now reward the top 100, not just the top 10.
More error messages now appear in your language.
Pet storage now has a cap with buyable, account-wide expansions.
More live season-first shout-outs in chat and on Discord — guild levels, big Infusions and talisman inscriptions.

Visuals & Cosmetics

Premium skins now have living animated effects — Void glow, Infernal fire and Divine radiance — and they restyle your attack animations too.
Every biome monster got fresh, unique artwork, including the Echo World.
Sharper artwork when playing in a desktop browser.
Attacks and damage numbers now land on the monster instead of the empty space around it.
Big class-skill procs now pop on screen — TITANIC!, PERFECT!, INSTINCT KILL! and more.
