Yesterday was Idle Clans' 2nd birthday and an in-game event went live earlier today to celebrate it. Bonus experience for everyone for a couple of weeks!

A lot has changed since we launched 2 years ago. Thanks to the incredible work of our wiki contributors, the entire update history (along with a ton of other cool stuff) can be found in our wiki if you'd like to read up on what has been going on.

https://wiki.idleclans.com/index.php/Patch_Notes

Still, there's much still to come. Later this month, you'll be get ting a new challenge to take on either by yourself or with a group of players. As usual, with the chance of receiving some lucrative new rewards.

Hope you're all having a great spring. Happy gaming!

Our servers are due some maintenance so this update will come with a bit of downtime. Shouldn't be longer than 20 minutes if things go smoothly.

• Fixed the max total level requirement for clans being 2280 instead of 2400
  
• Fixed drinking potions multiple times causing a notification to trigger for each consumption when the effect ended
  
• A portion of the brightness slider in settings was redundant and you would be at max brightness far before reaching the end of the slider. Fixed
  
• Fixed a visual issue where if you dragged an inventory item using 2 mouse buttons simultaneously, you might end up with a duplicate ghost item until you relogged
  
• The loot slider in the clan member claimable items popup should no longer go over item amounts when a player has a lot of uncollected items

• A "Timestamp" field is now available in chat messages

New clan event: Skilling party

• Requires a new type of currency to enter - skilling tickets. Similar to chests, these can be found whilst skilling and are dropped at a slightly higher drop rate than exceptional chests. They are automatically submitted to your clan's collection as you receive them.
  
• You can create a party for a skill when you have at least 1 ticket for that skill. If you have multiple, they'll all be used and rewards will scale accordingly.
  
• Tickets cap at 10 per skill to prevent funnelling.
  
• No cooldowns or daily limits.
  
• Experience is about half of what you get from other skilling events per ticket.
  
• Loot:
  
  • Resources based on your clan's level in used skill.
    
  • 1% chance to receive a pet per ticket.
    
  • 2% chance to receive skilling gloves per used ticket. More on skilling gloves below.
    
  • Loot is given to everyone in the clan when the event is completed, not just participants. Non-participating members can claim their loot via the bag icon in the clan front page.
    

New item type: Skilling gloves

• For gathering and crafting skills, skilling gloves provide a 5% chance to double your loot (does not grant extra experience) when completing tasks. This stacks with existing mechanics, so if you, for example, proc "The Fisherman" upgrade to double your fish, skilling gloves will potentially double the already doubled fish.
  
• As Agility doesn't produce items, Agility gloves work differently. When worn, you'll have a chance to receive random boss keys instead of chests whilst doing any skill:
  
  • 75% chance to receive a key instead of common chests.
    
  • 50% chance to receive a key instead of rare chests.
    
  • 25% chance to receive a key instead of exceptional chests.
    

New clan upgrade: Ways of the Genie

• Unlocking it permanently raises Otherworldly Essence's effect from 30% to 72% for all clan members.
  
• Costs 250k clan credits.
  
• Requires your clan to have used a total of at least 1,000 skilling tickets.

Other

• The inventory space token activation cap was raised from 5 to 10, bringing in 150 new inventory slots for use.
  
• When attempting to leave a clan as GIM, the confirmation popup now has a 15-second timer until the confirm button can be pressed. Kicking players has the same functionality.

Bug fixes & tweaks - some of these already went live as minor patches

• Made some improvements to data initialization on game startup. Hopefully, some lower-end devices that weren't able to load the game before will be able to play now as well.
  
• Fixed some issues in the Group Ironman clan standings leaderboard tab.
  
• Fixed about a dozen texts in the game not being localized correctly.
  
• Fixed the "Kronos who?" upgrade requiring only a total of 50 Valley of the Gods kills rather than needing to have killed each of them at least 50 times.
  
• Fixed an issue where if you DM'd a user after creating a party chat and had the DM chat active when the party chat dissolved, you wouldn't be able to open any other channels until closing the DM chat.
  
• Attempting to enter Reckoning of the Gods now specifies that you need 25 kills in the Valley of the Gods rather than general boss kills.
  
• Fixed an issue with new skilling equipment not being sorted as such when auto-sorting your inventory.
  
• The X button in the confirmation popup now acts as a background click.
  
• Fixed offline Exterminating not awarding quest kills as it should've.
  
• Block icon in raids was using the wrong icon, fixed.
  
• Fixed an issue with retrieving clan logs.
  
• Added Exterminating to leaderboard Standings pages.

Valentine's event

The event will start on the 14th of February at 9AM UTC. This event normally lasts for a week, but due to our Christmas event ending prematurely, I've set this one to run for 2 weeks. Additionally, as the Christmas event ended with 10B still in the supply, I'll be sneakily donating that amount to this event once it starts.

• You must be in a clan to start playing. When you first log in on a group ironman account, you'll be presented with a popup where you can either join an existing clan or create a new one. Once you're in a clan, your journey begins. If you created a clan, you can recruit players who have not yet joined a clan.
  
• Group ironman clans can a maximum of 6 players
  
• Group ironman has its own leaderboards and weekly cups
  
• There are (almost) no untradeable items between group ironmen. With the exception of skill capes and enchanted jewelry, every item can be transferred between members via the clan vault
  
• You can only join a clan once, so choose carefully. Once you've joined or created a clan, you will NOT be able to join another player's clan again
  
  • If you leave or are kicked from your clan, you'll be forced to create a new clan before you can continue playing
    
• You're allowed to have more than 1 group ironman accounts but you're not allowed to have more than 1 in a single group/clan
  
• Note: there is currently an issue with displaying item receival notifications on ironmen. So if you send game shop tokens to an ironman, no notification will appear about the received token. The items will still appear in the item withdrawal box as they normally would.

• A new Exterminating shop item has been added: Extended assignments
  
• Costs 5,000 Exterminating points
  
  • Monsters that you can only fight as assignments will come in 50% larger quantities. These are the monsters that you can see in the Exterminating tab inside the Combat page
    
  • Can be toggled on and off
    
• Moderators have received better tools to deal with abusive behaviour in the game chat
  
  • Moderators now have a special icon in the chat
    
  • We'll be recruiting more in-game mods soon to ensure that the chat remains a civil place at all times
    
  • Muted users will now receive better information on their mute
    

• You can now immediately choose to reroll your Exterminating assigment upon receiving one
  
• Saved profiles are now sorted into unique tabs in the main menu based on their game mode. The profile limit per game mode is 3.
  
• The default recruiting state for new clans is now enabled
  
• Premium, Gilded, Ironman and Group ironman icons have been updated
  
• The total level requirement to chat no longer applies to clan chat
  
• When creating a guest account you'll no longer be taken into game mode selection but rather taken right into the game in the default game mode

• Exterminating no longer has a (broken) loadout
  
• Fixed the displayed gold cost not updating in the local market store section when changing the item quantity
  
• Ancient and stone boots were facing the wrong way. Fixed
  
• Fixed new accounts not being able to chat in the clan chat until they relogged into the game once
  
• Fixed a client side issue where offline progress against bosses would not correctly remove the required key to fight the boss, leading to a desync in your inventory
  
• Exterminating is now a part of player leaderboard profiles
  
• Fixed clan boss KC counting towards the Reckoning of the gods entry requirement

Note: neither ironman or group ironman players are able to donate to the active Christmas event but they will share the experience boost from default player's progress. This will most likely be changed in future events but we had to go this route for the remainder of the active event.

Additionally, there are now dedicated channels with a ticket system in our Discord server for reporting other players and sorting out any account issues you have may have (such as forgetting login information or appealing a chat mute).

- Exterminating auto completer can now be toggled on and off
* It will always be on when you log in to prevent situations where you accidentally leave it off and miss out on offline gains. You can turn it off during your session when you want to switch Exterminating experts.
- Basilisk scale leather crafting tasks are now available
- Completionist capes can now be purchased without the required Exterminating level
- Some tasks from Eldric are now assigned in lower quantities
- Fixed the current assignment text not updating until you left and re-entered the Exterminating page if you were on that page when you completed the assignment
- The required Exterminating level is now mentioned when clicking Exterminating monsters
- The chance of being assigned monsters is now displayed in percentages rather than weights
- Exterminating monster entries now in the Exterminating page now have loot buttons to more easily see what they can drop
- Fixed the Cooking icon not appearing in enchanted items
- Exterminating is now tracked in clan cups
- Fixed Stone boots going into the wrong slot

Important note: Exterminating isn't yet a requirement for the Completionist cape. However, it'll be added to the list of requirements a year after its release, so on 28th of October 2025. If you don't have requirements for the Completionist cape when the level requirement starts being enforced, any capes you're ineligible to wear will be stripped off of you and they'll be unequipable until you meet the new requirements. Any future skills will follow this model as well.

The first skill since the game's launch has been added - Exterminating!

To train it, you'll need to find the Exterminating experts in the Exterminating tab. Experts become available to you based on your health level so you'll be able to get suitable assignments for your skill level right away.

These experts can assign you monsters to hunt and when you're killing monsters on assignment, you'll receive some experience in Exterminating. The monsters they assign are a combination of old monsters you've already fought and about a dozen new ones.

The new Exterminating monsters have Exterminating level requirements and you won't be able to fight them until that level requirement is met. You also won't be able to fight them without them being your current assignment.

• Completing Exterminating assignments awards you with Exterminating points
  
  • These can be used in the new Exterminating shop. It currently contains 2 items to purchase:
    
    • Cancel assignment - cancels your current assignment. This is a repeating purchase
      
    • Auto completer - purchased once and unlocked indefinitely. With this, you'll automatically receive and start new Exterminating assignments as you complete them. Works both online and offline
  • The game shop has a new tradeable token for $3.99 that when activate, you'll permanently receive 25% more Exterminating points from assignments

• Currently, nothing. Exterminating does not yet have its own skill cape so your existing completionist capes will continue working as before

The skill is still far from finished. I didn't want to overwhelm you (and myself) with too much stuff at once but you can expect additions to the Exterminating shop, Exterminating monster drop tables and eventually new Exterminating monsters as well. I hope even in its current state it'll keep you entertained for a good while though - there is a fair amount of stuff to go through and obtain!
I'll leave the rest for you to figure out!

Note: Exterminating won't appear in Leaderboards quite yet

• Skilling pages can now be dragged by pressing empty space between instantiated elements
  
• Build sizes should now be significantly smaller
  
• Fixed pressing the "'Player' sent you an item" notification not opening the item withdrawal popup if you weren't in the profile page
  
• Item requirements for upgrades are now displayed more clearly
  
• All monsters in the game have received graphical updates to be a little more "flat" and more in tune with the rest of the game (note: known issue that some monsters may appear slightly smaller than they should on some platforms)
  
• Small bug fixes and tweaks here and there that went untracked
