Forge Together: official rules

Forge Together is an invite-a-friend event in Idle Forge, run by Pieters Studios. These rules are also shown in the game, on the event's Rules tab. Apple and Google are not sponsors of this event and are not involved in it in any way.

1. When it runs

Forge Together runs once a month. Each event starts on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 UTC and runs for 7 days; it is announced in the game a day before it starts and shown with a countdown. No event is running at the launch of version 1.11.0: until an event is announced in the game there is no competition, no milestone chest and no community goal, and an invite earns the per-invite rewards only. The results are final when the event ends. Prizes, milestone chests and the community reward can then be claimed for 24 hours, until the time shown in the game; unclaimed event rewards expire after that. Invite codes, friends and the per-invite rewards keep working between events.

2. Who can take part

Anyone who plays Idle Forge. Every player has an invite code in the game from the start, shown on the Forge Together Friends tab as a code and a QR code. A player who has cleared World 1 can also enter your code under Add a Friend: that only makes you friends, pays no reward and does not count as an invite. Taking part is free and needs no purchase.

3. What counts as a successful invite

• Your friend is a new player who enters your code within 7 days of their first session and before clearing World 1.
• For the competition, milestones and the community goal, the code must be entered while the event is running (between its start and end), and your friend must clear World 1 before the event ends. A code entered outside the event still earns both of you the per-invite reward, but does not count for the competition.
• A friend can use one code, once. It cannot be changed later.
• Your own code, your own other accounts, existing players and invite loops do not count. At most 25 invites per player count in one event.

4. Rewards

• Your friend gets 2,000 coins when the code is accepted, once: a player can only be invited once.
• When your friend clears World 1, you each get 5 gems and one hour of forge gold (gold is calculated from the highest forge level you have reached, at the moment you claim). Per-invite rewards continue after the event, up to 50 per player.
• Milestone chests in each event, counted again from zero in every event: 1 successful invite: two hours of forge gold; 3: 25 gems; 5: 60 gems.
• Community goal: if all players together reach the goal, everyone with at least one successful invite in that event gets three hours of forge gold and 10 gems after the event. The goal is reviewed once a day at 12:00 UTC on days 2 to 4 of the event; it can only be raised, by at most 25% per review, never once the community has reached 75% of it, and it is locked from the day-5 review. Every change is shown in the game.

5. Top-3 prizes

The three players with the most successful invites win: 1st 150 gems, 1,500 arcane shards, 700 soul embers, 3 gold keys and 2 arcane keys; 2nd 90 gems, 900 arcane shards, 400 soul embers, 2 gold keys and 1 arcane key; 3rd 60 gems, 600 arcane shards, 250 soul embers, 1 gold key and 1 arcane key. A prize part you have not unlocked yet in the game is replaced by six hours of forge gold. Ties go to the player who reached that number first. A player with no successful invites cannot place. All rewards are in-game items with no cash value and cannot be exchanged or transferred.

6. Fair play

We may exclude invites or players that break these rules or that we reasonably believe abuse the event, for example with multiple accounts. Our decision is final.

7. If something goes wrong

A code has to be entered in the game; if it is not accepted before your friend clears World 1 it cannot be added afterwards. If you believe an invite was not counted because of a technical problem, contact support@pietersstudios.com with your player support ID before the event ends.

8. Privacy

Your player name and avatar may be shown to other players on the event's top 3, as on the other leaderboards. A friend who entered your code and you become friends: you see each other's player name, avatar and World 1 progress and, while you are friends, current world, forge level, combat power and whether the other is online. Tapping a player opens their public Hero profile. See the Privacy Policy.

9. Changes

We may change or end the event for technical, legal or fairness reasons; changes are announced in the game and on Discord.
