  What's New

  Prestige & Transcendence Rebalance

  • Runestone formula — swapped sqrt for cbrt with a base cap of 200, preventing AFK sessions from generating windfalls that allow instant upgrade purchasing and prestige chaining
  • Prestige threshold — changed from exponential (1,000,000 × 5^n) to polynomial (1,000,000 × (n+1)²); runs peak around 1 day each at P8–10, then get faster as your production multiplier takes over
  • Production multiplier — increased from 1.15× to 1.25× per prestige, ensuring the polynomial threshold becomes genuinely easy in the late game
  • Target timeline — first run to P20 takes roughly 3.3 weeks; ~5 transcendences before apotheosis; ~6 months for a dedicated player

  Boss & Echo Rebalancing

  • Prestige requirements — rescaled from a 0–88 range to 0–20; The Absolute One now requires prestige 20 (was 88), making transcendence actually reachable
  • Echo formula — constant adjusted so transcendence at P20 yields 50 echoes base, up to 187 with all echo meta upgrades
  • Transcendence upgrade costs — total reduced from 866 echoes to 400 echoes across all categories

  Crystal Economy Fix

  • Boss crystal rewards — zeroed for all Zone 7+ boss drops (Celestial Reaches onwards); crystals are an early/mid-game currency and shouldn't flow freely into the endgame (#187)
  • Quest crystal rewards — zeroed for all Zone 9+ quests (Infernal Court onwards) for the same reason (#191)

  Balance Pass

  • Sunken Temple quest rewards corrected — was rewarding 2M gold despite being 4× harder than its prerequisite Witch Coven; now 60M gold, 25K essence, 400 crystals (#193)
  • Essence Guild upgrade buffed to 2× income — was identical to the cheaper Merchant Alliance (1.5×) for 5× the cost (#194)
  • Void Ascendancy crystal cost raised from 10M to 50M — was trivially cheap compared to the parallel Celestial Mandate upgrade path (#195)
  • Eternal Prism buffed to click 5×, combat 3×, gold 2.5× — was barely better than the free Eternity Stone boss drop for 100M crystals (#196)

  New Content

  • 13 missing equipment items created for Zones 15–18 — these were referenced in late-game boss drop tables but never existed, meaning players received no rewards from those bosses (#198):
    • Primordial Chaos: Chaos Mantle, Titan Core
    • Infinite Expanse: Expanse Blade, Void Armour Mk. II
    • Reality Forge: Cosmos Blade, Reality Plate
    • Cosmic Maelstrom: Maelstrom Edge, Cosmic Plate
    • Primeval Sanctum: Primeval Blade, Ancient Aegis
    • The Absolute: Absolute Blade, Eternity Plate, Omniversal Core
  • New achievements — prestige milestones at P50, P100, P150, and P200 now reward runestones rather than crystals to match the late-game economy; new quest milestones at 75 and 100 quests; new boss milestone at 50 bosses; gold milestones extended through 1e90

  Bug Fixes

  • quest_eternal achievement was permanently impossible — required 122 quests but only 112 exist; corrected to 112 (#197)
  • fully_equipped achievement updated from 65 to 78 to match the actual equipment count after new items (#197)
  • Sync New Content now patches canonical fields (stats, costs, rewards) on existing entries so balance changes apply retroactively to existing saves
  • Exploration materials no longer lost during auto-save cycles
  • Exploration areas now correctly unlock when their zone is unlocked via boss kill or quest completion
  • Fixed signature mismatch after the first auto-boss completion
  • Concurrent prestige requests now return 409 instead of double-awarding runestones
  • Auto-buy no longer wastes gold on lower-tier adventurers once a higher tier is available (cap of 100)
  • Auto-buy adventurer preference now persists across prestige resets
  • Codex locked entries now display a hint describing how to unlock them
  • No loading screen flash after prestige completes
  • Prestige bot announcements can be disabled per-player in the edit profile modal
  • Daily challenge set always includes a clicks challenge for new players
  • Resource bar now shows a persistent +N On Prestige runestone preview
