  What's New

  Crystal Economy

  • Three new purchasable upgrades — Crystal Pulse (3,000), Crystal Surge (20,000), and Crystal Tempest (150,000) fill the dead zone between 600 and 2M crystal sinks; early players now have meaningful things to spend throughout the mid-game
  • Achievement crystal rewards bumped — click_deity 5K→15K, prestige_master 5K→15K, prestige_legend 25K→75K
  • Early quest crystal seeding — first_steps (+5) and goblin_camp (+10) now award a small amount of crystals to introduce the currency sooner

  Daily Challenges

  • Crafting challenge type added — three templates (craft 1/2/3 recipes); the daily set now guarantees 1 clicks + 1 crafting + 1 from the progression pool, so stuck players always have 2 of 3 challenges completable regardless of where they are in the game
  • Crafting challenge progress tracked server-side; crystals awarded on recipe completion

  Prestige & Runestone Loop

  • Runestone yield increased — runestonesPerPrestigeLevel raised 15 → 20 (~33% more per prestige level)
  • Upgrade costs reduced — income_10 22,500 → 15,000 runestones; income_11 60,000 → 35,000
  • Quest failure rate capped at 15% — previously some zones could reach 40%; harder zones still fail more than easier ones, but the ceiling is now reasonable

  Quality of Life

  • Achievement timestamps — achievements now record the exact moment they were earned
  • Companion progress bars — progress toward companion unlock thresholds is now visible in-game
  • Max runestone indicator — resource bar shows when you're approaching your runestone cap
  • Auto-prestige max-runes mode — new trigger option: auto-prestige fires when runestones hit the cap
  • Public timers API — read-only endpoint exposing live quest and exploration timer data

  Balance Pass

  • Crystal Shard buffed — click multiplier 1.65× → 1.90×, gold multiplier 1.20× → 1.30×; now actually competitive as an epic trinket
  • Click-power recipe ceiling raised — curve smoothed across late zones: Chaos Lens (z13) 1.20→1.22, Universe Seed (z15) 1.22→1.25, First Artefact (z17) 1.25→1.28, Absolute Focus (z18) 1.28→1.30
  • Militia base cost reduced 100g → 65g, smoothing the Peasant→Militia hiring jump from ~10× to ~6.5×

  Bug Fixes

  • Auto-boss loop no longer halts after the first fight — the server-side state update was invalidating the client's anti-cheat signature; boss fights now return a fresh HMAC signature and both auto and manual boss paths update from it
  • Expired sessions now redirect to the login page automatically instead of showing a stuck error screen with no recovery path
  • Crystal multiplier from runestones now correctly applies to boss crystal rewards
  • Exploration areas correctly unlock when their parent zone is unlocked
  • Companion unlocks now apply in real time without needing a page refresh
  • Exploration end time persists correctly across sessions
  • Auto-prestige formula corrected
  • quest_eternal achievement threshold corrected
  • Lifetime gold achievement tracking fixed
  • formatInteger letter suffix uses Math.round instead of truncation, fixing floating-point display glitches at certain values
  • Story banner crop and gold icon display corrected
  • Crafted items persist correctly after the craft API responds
