Remember... full Patch Notes are now IN-GAME via Menu button in bottom-right! New Content • New research game - Jelly Operator! Unlocked via Research Grid [H3] • As the role of Jelly Operator, it's your job to form a team of Cells in order to remove obstructions from your Jelly Patients! • Unlock 8 cell types and buy 37 different upgrades with Bloodcells earned during your operations! • There's currently 72 obstructions to remove, with each one giving a Bonus that affects the rest of IdleOn! • There's currently 72 obstructions to remove, with each one giving a Bonus that affects the rest of IdleOn! • New Research Grid upgrade: [F3] • New Research Grid upgrade: [G3] • New Gaming Pallete Bonus - Mossy Green • New Atom - unlocked from one of the obstruction bonuses in Jelly Operator • New Tome Metric - Successful Jelly Operations, worth 800 PTS at max • New sushi, meaning there are now 64 unique pieces of sushi • Season 5 of The Grand Tournament starts later today! Season 4 rewards have been given out. • Brand new CHAMPION PET - Bronze, Silver, and Gold Earls! • New pet types added to Pet Mart+ • New Limited Time Gemshop section, make sure to claim the freebie! Quality Improvements • Added the stones to the middle of the summoning upgrade board. Visually fulfilling! Balance Changes • Sushi Combo Highscores reset due to the following balance change below. • Salt Shaker no longer counts for Sushi Combo. While I intended it to be a fun, small part of building a combo, I've come to realize that due to its large potential effect on combo, it incentivizes purposefully avoiding proper interaction with sushi in order to build up a massive stockpile. This removes what I believe to be the more fun and strategic way to build your best ever combo, which is through real combining and not spamclicking salt. Bug Fixes • Fixed Royal Guardian's "Commander Rank" - it now correctly gives a new unit every rank (Worker, then Trader, then Guard, then Surveyor) from rank 1 onward, as youd' expect. Before, it only gave units when you reached rank 4 onward. Rank EXP required to rank up increased slightly (retroactively applies to all players, so people with higher ranks are not arbitrarily ahead) • Completely fixed the lag that happens when gaining huge Summoning EXP (those white orbs) • Completely fixed the lag that happens when opening the Summoning Upgrade menu • Fixed a negative novadust bug that was affecting the tippy top of endgamers • Fixed a bug where crystal mob spawn chance multiplier from cards got mixed up with other additive bonuses • Fixed a bug where Marble Drop Chance for Royal Guardian became lower after 100 drops in certain cases

Spend your Lil' Orblets dropped by the Orb of Verisimilitude on permanent bonuses, including a way to automate the leveling up of your Statues! • New Miniboss - Verminous! Find them in large swarms beneath the floor of the Royal Castle, but don't expect to kill many early on... • New spelunking cavern - Exiled Throne!

Have fun!

New Content • Summer Event is HERE, with all the classic rewards you love, and a BIG NEW REWARDS you WONT wanna miss! • BIG NEW REWARD: The one of a kind PET BONUS TOKEN! Defeat one monster to receive it, and use it to get the bonus of ANY pet you want... yea, ANY! Note that you only get the bonus and not the pet itself, but if you DO get the pet later, your token is REFUNDED and you can use it on a different pet bonus! See INFO DUMP for details. (yes you can collect multiple of this item, but you only get one token to use) • Skeleton Keys: Earned from the Event Game "Buried Treasure", these can give Prisma Bubble Fragments, Cosmic Balls, or Gold Balls. Or you could save them in the hopes they give better rewards in the future, but maybe the rewards will be worse.... I wouldn't just make it worse in the future though, would I? • New EVENT EXCLUSIVE Friend Bonus: +% EXTRA KILLS! There'll be new friend bonuses every event, sometimes from older events, so while this isn't your only chance to get this new bonus, it will be for a long time! • New Map, with a new monster: the formidable GLOWFISH! They have 5,000T crystal HP, a their card gives passive Research EXP! Quality Improvements • Added "Crystal Trillion" Damage Notation within your Player Stats display! For example, if you had 5324235M~7943045M Crystal damage, it will now show as 5.324T~7.943T Crystal Damage! • Added scenery to World 1 maps which reacts to your movement! Go ahead, frolic through the grass! You'll also find this in the new Glowfish map, so go ahead and frolic through the bioluminescence! Balance Changes • The max Friend Bonus has increased, but the scaling has become more harsh -- this means lower-leveled bonuses have decreased, BUT there is a higher ceiling way beyond the previous Lv.12,000 cap! Basically, you gotta pump up those numbers, but for doing so you'll end up with more bonus than ever possible before! • Buffed the Killionaire upgrade in Cavern 18 - 1.50x stonger, and cheaper cost scaling. • Also buffed the following Cavern 18 upgrades by 1.5x each: Slop Drop, Droplier, Droplier+ Bug Fixes • Cardiovascular and Pulsation Talents now drop properly -- go get those Lv 100 books! • Fixed a bug where VERY high-leveled accounts couldn't send friend bonuses. You can now! • Fixed display in Player Info - Base Stats were overlapping, player name display wasn't Case Sensitive, and also simplified the TRADE ui to be more clear and pleasant on the eyes. INFO DUMP FOR READERS (help me spread correct information to those who can't read god bless 'em) • The Pet Bonus token is my thanks to you for playing my game! You can get dozens of the item itself, but only one usage. While instructions are clearly written on the item itself, in order to use your token you must find the desired pet in-game, double click that person, click the trade button, then you'll see the "Use Token" system on the right. • You get ~2.41 Event Points per play on average from the Buried Treasure event game. Obviously sometimes you get 1, sometimes you get 10, but if you played it 100 times you can expect ~241 Event Points. I post the average every event, so you can know just how juicy the odds are! • You are more likely to get Bin Goosey before pity than you are to hit pity, just like for Poppy and Glunko before! • Bin Goosey's bonus is that all your Daily Ribbons earned have a 50% chance for +1 tier, 40% chance for +2 tiers, and 10% chance for +5 tiers. • Skeleton keys give 2200 gold balls on average when landing on the Gold Ball drop table, mainly because of the HUGE 64,000 balls top prize. That's a Mean, not a Median, your middle school math teacher was right, you WILL use this in real life. IdleOn is real life. Cease your contact with grass, stay inside.

New Content • Cavern 18 - The Crystal Glunko Cove! • Collect gooey shapes, from Triangles to Nonagons, in order to upgrade your Cove Stats -- you have a unique Drop Rate, AFK Gains, and Multikill value while in Cavern 18. • Each Gooey Shape counts on the Slab, so thats +12 new Slab Items to add to your collection! • Green Water added to Cavern 16 - The Fountain • 20 new Green Water upgrades which include bonuses to the rest of IdleOn of course, 3 new Fountain Currencies, rubber ducky and more! • 7 new Schematics to build via Kaipu, the Engineer villager! • 6* Cardifiers added - everybody gets 1 for free... in fact, I'm gonna DOUBLE that to 2 cardifiers for everyone who is an active player!! They will show up on special occasions in the Limited Gemshop section, and are of course used in the Cards section of Codex to turn any 5* Card into a 6* card. • New Crystalline Glunko pack and Limited Items available now in the Gemshop! Quality Improvements • The kill requirement for the next map is now show in the top-left! This used to only be true for the first few worlds, but it's permanent, it makes the furthest map you've reached feel like you're on the front-lines, gives it that battle vibe! • Changed most big number displays in the game to be more uniform and better -- for example, say you had 4216B / 52T exp. Not only would this now show in just Trillion notation, but you'd also get a decimal place, so it would be 4.2T / 52.0T • The killcount of Gloomie Mushroom, Ancient Golem, and new Crystal Glunko cavern monsters are all properly shown by each mob's Card in Codex

New Content • Cooking Mastery is HERE! Unlocked via Rift 61. • New Ribbons - Rank 21~25. Must be unlocked via Rift 61. • New Research Grid - [K3] • New Vial - uses Chapter 6 spelunking pages, and is called Canteen Read. Just sayin. • New Arcade Bonus type - go max it out while it's there! • New Salt Lick upgrade - you MUST build it via Construction. If you were in middle school when the last Salt Lick upgrade released, you'd now be in university. This is not an exaggeration. • New Zuperbit upgrade Balance Changes • Important note: The "chance for +2 rank when combining ribbons" bonus from gambit does not apply for Ribbon Rank 20+ reason being so that RNG does not have as much of a role in ribbon progression in the future. • All Salt Lick upgrades now cost salt, and cost amounts have been adjusted to account for this. Bug Fixes • Fixed the Dreadnaught rare drop from last update not being in the slab, nor properly sorted as an item. Hey patch notes reader, have you seen my Abacus Frog recently? Little green fella, real cute... I think he got STOLEN!! If you can find him by beating my new game Fortune Mill, you can have him as a permanent pet follower in IdleOn!

New Content • Tournament rewards given out: New Nametags! These cannot be added to the gallery nor slab, and of course are purely cosmetic... no bonuses bro! • There's a special reward for everyone who beats Fortune Mill, as an extra thanks from me to you! An exclusive Abacus Frog pet - he has no bonuses, only tournament power. There is no deadline to earn him, so feel free to take your time before buying, and enjoy your playthrough if you do! Quality Improvements • Greenstacking is now PERMANENT! When you greenstack an item by getting 10M+ of them in your Storage Chest, it stays greenstacked! • Added greenstack display to Slab, so you can keep track of which items you've greenstacked! Bug Fixes • Fixed the Construction Cog-board being un-usable for some players. Simply put, your new character was being auto-placed incorrectly due to a full cog inventory, and I have fixed this retroactively for all, no action required by you other than updating the game! • Fixed the "Lv. 72 Research" observation not showing up in its intended area, near the top of the summit in W7 • Fixed "Button snapshotting" regarding its bonuses, it is no longer viable.

• 11th Character is HERE! Requiring Account LV. 5000+, you can create them on the main menu! • The "Countdown" is finally being revealed, keep reading: For the last 7 months, I've been working on a NEW GAME in secret... A premium, standalone idle game called FORTUNE MILL! It comes out THIS THURSDAY at 9am PST, just 2 DAYS from now! A "short" idle experience, Fortune Mill will take you anywhere from 12 hours to 25+ hours to beat, full of interesting upgrades and mechanics, with optional side modes extending that further. From start to finish, the game is a blast, bringing together the best of what I've learned about good game design, but SIMPLE and MORE FUN! Everything came together while making this, and I couldn't be more excited and proud to share it with you all! It's priced at 7.99 USD, but will be 25% OFF on launch for just 5.99 USD, and will have regional pricing options! • Have fun escaping the Fortune Mill this Thursday! Normal IdleOn updates are resuming now.

• The SENTINEL CAVERNS have been discovered over at The Hole in World 5... with TWO brand new caverns now available! • Note: new caverns mean only 12 lanterns can be used daily. You'll see, use them wisely! • NEW CAVERN: The Fountain! • NEW CAVERN: The Bottomless Trench! • 5 new Schematics to build with Kaipu the Engineer villager! • 1 new bonus to Conjure with Cosmo, the Conjuror villager! • 1 new bonus to Upgrade with Minau, the Measurement villager! • 2 new locations to Study with Bolaia, the Lore villager! • The Bell has a new bonus to give once you unlock Cavern 16! Consider cleaning your bell and ringing it from scratch again! • Season 1 Tournament rewards have arrived! All rewards have NO bonuses; for example, these hats cannot be added to the Hat Rack and thus cannot give +1% hat rack multi each. If there is ever a situation where Tournament Rewards give special bonuses (i.e. bonuses LOCKED behind tournament success) I will fix it... like if I accidentally add Tournament Rewards to the Slab, I will remove them ASAP!

New Content • 5th Anniversary event is LIVE! • Collect 50 boxes every day from monsters, which also gives you +1 Event Play, and open the boxes for unique hats, event cards, gems, and more! • Get a GUARANTEED nametag when you open your 500th box! • Every 5 minutes, a random player online will win an exclusive pet like Riptide or even Glunko Supreme!

Earn new and old nametags by scoring big points, Event Points, and even some Cosmic Balls to 2x your maxed-out arcade upgrades! • Spend Event Points at the Birthday Cake, theres 4 new ones to collect this time around, as well as 8 from old events! • The 2nd IdleOn MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP is THIS SUNDAY! It also marks the END OF THE SEASON, rewards will be given out next week. Bug Fixes • Fixed a rare issue where you couldn't click on anything when swapping to a character. • Fixed an issue where the "Pet Offer" button wouldn't go away. I'm leaving it up for another day (hence why it says Last Chance), but then it will be taken down until further notice. INFO DUMP FOR READERS (help me spread correct information to those who can't read for themselves) • You get ~2.3 Event Points per play on average. Obviously sometimes you get 1, sometimes you get 10, but if you played it 100 times you can expect ~230 points. • This is the first event to EVER give out 3 nametags from playing the event game! • This is the first event to EVER give out 4 nametags from playing the event game! • You are more likely to get Poppy before pity than you are to hit pity -- same was true for Glunko! • Poppy doubles Bonus Ballot and Multi Meritocracy • The chance of revealing a 5,555 PTS slot (yes, in a single slot, insta jackpot) is a 1 in 4000 for each slot. This isn't the primary way to get jackpots, just a fun fact for if you hit one naturally!

Balance Changes • Respawn times for all monsters in Worlds 1, 2, and 3, have been severely lowered, so they respawn MUCH faster.

Take bites of sweet chocolate pieces, while avoiding the BITTER ones... only problem is, there's no way to know which is which! Rewards include the Lovely Day nametag, the NEW Choco Nametag, Gold Balls, and of course Event Points! • TONS of ways to earn Bittersweet Bites: 1. Collect all 50 choco boxes from monsters. This gives +1 every day! 2. Have IdleOn running, the exact timer is shown in the bottom-right corner of the Bittersweet Game display. 3. Buy them in batches of 2, 5, or 10 with gems! You can only buy a single batch every day, so choose wisely. 4. Open up IdleOn for the first time! That's right, I gave everyone +1 play for free, and I gave it with love from me to u xoxoxo 5. This isn't a way to get more plays, but its important. Event plays CARRY OVER to the next event! Just sayin'. So do Event Points, duh. • New EVENT SHOP, talk to the Loveulyte NPC in World 1 Town to see what's in stock! • New Research Grid bonus [O8]: Game Design 102 - boosts Research EXP gain based on total Observation LV, optical monocles are back in style! • New Research Grid bonus [N4]: Divine Design - Arctis is now permanently counted as linked for all players... one step closer...

Quality Improvements • You can now claim +1 TOME for watching my streams without needing to get a Gem Drop. • Artifact Chance display has changed for really low odds -- if you have less than a 1 in 10,000 chance for the current chest you're about to open, instead of just saying "0.01%", it will say the actual odds, like 1 in 63,354 for example. • DNA drops in Gaming no longer show up if you have all Mutations. Balance Changes • Everyone's Transcendent Artifacts are dead. Due to a large imbalance in odds -- to the point where Transcendent Artifacts from the first 6 islands were more common than Eldritch artifacts -- I have removed all of the ill-gotten transcendent artifacts. As for the rest, they were 100x rarer than they're meant to be, and have been lowered. • Changed the "Jackpots Hit in Arcade" Tome metric. It now caps at 4 jackpots, giving 20 PTS each (80 PTS max). Before, it was less fair, as it had a much higher max. • Glimbo Insider Trading Secrets now gives DR multi every 100 trades, instead of every 25. • Guaranteed Crystal mobs spawn rate increased: 2 per sec-> 5 per sec. While I will be looking further into reducing lag overall, I am making this slight adjustment to help make things better in the meantime. Bug Fixes • Fixed the Bleeding Heart elixir in Spelunking. It now works exactly as it says it does, boosting POW by 100x and raising Stamina Costs by 4x for every use -- e.g. 5 uses would put you at 500x POW and 20x Stamina costs. • Fixed the "Auto not working!" situation for Pirate Mess Hall endgame map • Fixed the glitch causing Research EXP/LV to be inconsistent between characters. • Fixed a display issue where Glimbo & Boomy Mine pets were missing from the Bonuses list in Pet Park. Their bonuses worked, it's just their displays that were missing. • Fixed a display issue where cog claims could show up in Tiny Cog slots. These gave no stats, if this happened to you simply drag the cogs back into your inventory to clear up space for your tiny cogs.

THE TRENCH IS NOW OPEN! 7 new maps and monsters, a BRAND NEW SKILL (Skill #20 - Research!), TONS of new content like Mr. Minehead's Depth Charge, tons of new OLD content added to gaming, farming, sailing, construction (all unlocked through Research), and THE GRAND TOURNAMENT, a game-wide competition where player's Pet Collections compete for glory (and glory only, rewards are purely cosmetic). Check the in-game patch notes for full details! ... and best of all, come back next week for WEEKLY UPDATES! I'm taking us to new idle gaming heights with this weekly update run, you gonna find out for real!

Remember to make a wish on DECEMBER 25th to get a special guaranteed limited reward! Also, fixed a bunch of things: • Added a warning when trashing the ONLY copy of a companion you have, properly informing you that you'll lose their bonus if you do trash them while also helping prevent accidental trashing of final copies. • Fixed a rare issue regarding Winter Candle not visually letting some players buy their pity Riptide when they reached pity. • The new Material Bags from Anvil VII now visually show up in your "Storage Info" section above your player stats. • Fixed an issue where endgame Sneaking Nunchaku would say "infinity" damage around the 10e100 mark. This no longer happens and they display their proper damage value. • Fixed an issue with Divinity Kattlekruk not giving his daily bubble LVs to a small subset of players in certain circumstanes some of the time. • Fixed an issue regarding the "DING! Free Ticket!" system for leaving IdleOn running being stuck for some users, shown by needing 6 trillion hours for the next free ticket. For these users, not only have I fixed getting new free tickets every 24hrs you leave IdleOn running, but I am also giving all the free tickets you missed out on the last few weeks because of this bug! You'll see what I mean when you login, you'll get LOTS of dings! So if you were worried you'd be permanently without the free tickets other players got to have, worry not, you'll catch up instantly! Merry giftmas! • Nova Blasts from elixirs (that includes the Spelunker Shop Upgrade that causes blasts when using any elixir) now disables the Escape Rope from appearing within the first 4*N depths. For example, if you trigger 10 blasts from elixirs, the Escape Rope will not appear until at least Depth 40 • Fixed a mobile overflow regarding Statues - specifically the displayed requirement to level up a statue.

GIFTMAS IS HERE! Celebrate every day with giftboxes, ticket plays, and free wishes until Dec. 31st! • Collect 50 giftboxes a day, and open them for exclusive hats, event cards, gems, nametags, and more goodies! • Play the new Starry Night Delight ticket in W1 town -- win a new Nametag, Premium Hat, event points and more! • Talk to Giftie in W1 Town to spend Event Pts! • Make a wish with the Blue Candle every day, maybe it'll come true and you'll get an Exclusive Companion -- Bunny, Hedgehog, Panda... maybe even RIPTIDE! • Make a wish with the Yellow Candle to win a Top 0.1% Tome Nametag! Merry Giftmas! Personally, I'm gonna use my Yellow Candle to wish for... a happy new year for all my fellow IdleOn gamers!

New Content • The HAT RACK has been added to World 3! IT lets you store your Premium Hats (earned from events, rare drops, etc) so they give their bonuses PERMANENTLY! This will free up storage space, as well as let you commit fully to wearing the hat of your choice without needing to mess with Premiumifiers / Stat Swapper stones! You can reclaim hats you've added to the Hat Rack as many times as you want, which means you can duplicate them and let all your character's wear them! • Many normal hats are now Premium. Check the first note in "Balance Changes" for a full list! Note that this does not affect how they are obtained, simply their classification. Quality Improvements • You know how you can Hold-Down to reset a talent thanks to the Upgrade Vault upgrade? Well, doing that also resets the Super Talent point invested in that talent, if you turned it super that is! Balance Changes • The following hats are now "premium hats" so they can be stored in the Hat Rack: The Crow Perch, Birthday Hat, Santa Hat, Epic Santa Hat, Big Pretty Bow, Steam Cap, 3rd Anniversary Ice Cream Topper, Bunny Ears, Summer Shell, Nuget Cake Fedora, Honker Hat, Acorn Topper, Apple Launch Hat, Funny Hat, Meteorhead, Ice Guard Helmet, Pink Headband • Small bonuses added to most premium hats that didn't have any -- things like +1% EXP, +2% drop rate, +1% AFK gains multi, +5% money. • "Premium-ified" hats do NOT count toward the Hat Rack, and that system has been retired. I have also added the Invisible Hat to everyone's Hat Rack automatically, as well as removed the 7 "premium-ifier" related items from The Slab. • Reduced the cost scaling to several of Bubba's upgrades, you should have 100s of upgrade LVs just waiting for you to buy them right now! • Total Bubble LV in tome now gives more points for all, and has a max PTS value at 1,000,000 Total Bubble LVs instead of being uncapped. This is a buff for all accounts, as well as an improvement toward a more fair playing ground for everyone. Bug Fixes • Fixed the mobile overflow of items over 1 billion -- instead of dropping as a weird "negative" amount that gives zero, it will drop 1 billion! • Fixed a mobile overflow of Divinity PTS & EXP gained specifically from being in Lab + Goharut divinity (where Lab also counts as Divinity AFK) • Fixed a mobile overflow regarding Trapper Drone's daily Vacuum deposit and Miniature Soul Apparatus' "ALL QUICK" deposit systems sometimes gutting your stacks of critters / souls, leaving you with none. • Fixed a mobile overflow regarding trapping EXP sometimes overflowing from trapping drone specifically • Fixed a display issue for placed traps -- they'd sometimes show, for example, "4325.23452352" critters caught instead of just "4325" critters caught • Fixed a mobile overflow regarding Anvil Quick-Deposit, where if you quick-deposited 5 billion Thread for example, you could end up with none. • With those harmful overflows gone from mobile, it's safe to play again! • I also fixed display overflows. These are bugs that did NOT affect your account itself, but did affect the displayed numbers. • Fixed a mobile display overflow involving "Overaccurate Crit", where it would show you having 0 accuracy if exceedingly high. • Fixed a mobile display overflow regarding the display of Cards collected & Cards needed to LV up a card • Fixed a mobile (and PC) display overflow regarding Artifact Find Chance multiplier, in • Fixed a mobile (and PC) display overflow regarding Divinity PTS/hr • Fixed a mobile (and PC) display issue regarding Bubba's Dice multiplier disappearing every hour • Fixed a mobile display bug where "Exclusive Companions" would not show their bonuses on mobile. They always gave their bonuses, it was just a display problem. • Fixed a bug on all platforms where the final 2 Sailing Artifacts were unobtainable for some users.
