The Soul Forge, a fair first fight and the Daily Forge Gift

Idle Forge 1.7.0 fixes the opening fight a new hero could not win, reorganises the shop, and gives every player an hour of forge income a day.

The Soul Forge and the Ember Crypt

The Soul Forge summons souls that fight alongside your hero — twenty-four to collect, three in each rarity, three equipped at once. The souls you have equipped now show on the main screen beside the fight. Summoning is paid for with Soul Embers, a new currency, and the Ember Crypt is the third daily dungeon, where you earn them.

The opening fight is winnable

A new hero no longer starts the game by losing a fight it cannot join. The first combat now waits for gear the player actually has.

The Daily Forge Gift

One hour of forge income, free once per UTC day, for every player.

A shop you can read

The shop is laid out in sections, so permanent upgrades, currency and featured offers are no longer one undifferentiated list.

Clearer crafting advice

The crafted-item popup stops recommending a sword over a staff, defeats report the stage they actually reached, and Near Miss no longer overstates how close the fight was.
