Contracts redrawn, new ability effects and settings in your profile

Idle Forge 1.6.0 redraws the contracts screen so the week reads at a glance, gives two more abilities effects of their own, and tidies the profile, the settings and the shop.

The 1.6.0 release build is dated 6 September 2026.

Contracts, redrawn

The weekly tab now leads with a points meter and the next reward you can claim, and every day of the week has a theme. The daily tab is titled Daily Contract, and the Royal Contract opens on collection day.

Lightning Strike and Poison Cloud

Both abilities have hand-drawn effects and sound, and ability research now previews an ability by playing its actual combat effect instead of a picture of it.

Settings live in your profile

Settings are a second tab beside Profile, redrawn throughout.

The shop and the forge

The shop shows its products as two columns of cards. The forge hammer swings, and a sale bursts coins off the anvil.

Correction

Corrected on 29 September 2026. This post first described pets and a third daily dungeon as part of 1.6.0. Neither was in that release: both arrived in 1.7.0, as the Soul Forge and the Ember Crypt. The address of this page has not changed.
