v0.15b, Artisan Forge, on 19 October 2026. Crafting is rebuilt: forged gear lands near your level and rolls its rarity like a summon, from Common up to Cosmic, and 16 craft-only Artisan Lines add 112 new pieces with their own art and an Artisan Codex. Online features use far less data, and clicks no longer get lost while your hero fights. Full patch notes.

Yes, start to finish. No system, zone or feature is behind a purchase.

No, and that one is not negotiable. The only purchase planned for the game is an optional Supporter Pack: cosmetics, and conveniences like a longer offline window. You cannot buy power, gold or gacha luck. With a shared economy and a public leaderboard, that is the whole point. Patreon supporters do get optional boosts in the Discord edition, and the Support page lists exactly what each tier gives.

Yes. Flip one setting and the whole world runs on your device. A cast of 42 rival adventurers keeps leveling, stocks the market and fills the leaderboard without a connection. Built for a flight, a commute, a quiet evening. Reconnect and your progress syncs, and the real players come back.

Yes. Gold, XP and gear pile up while you are gone, up to 4 hours by default and 24 with the Camp Lantern maxed. You come back to a "While You Were Away" report of the lot.

Not in real time. The Coliseum pits you against exact ghosts built from other champions' records, quickly or by hand, on a monthly rating ladder. Everything else between players is cooperative: parties, clans, factions, world raids, the market.

A live backend handles the market, parties, factions and clans, the realm-wide raid, community seasons and the leaderboard. If it ever goes down, every online screen falls back to the local rivals, so the game never stops working.

Godot 4.7, with its own GDScript engine underneath and 199 parity checks keeping combat and balance honest, plus the live online layer.

Windows, macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel, Linux, and Android 7+ on arm64. Android gets a touch-first layout for portrait and landscape. Rich Presence is Windows only; cloud restore, cross-save codes and bot linking work everywhere.

Invite them to a co-op party by handle or code, join the same faction or clan, and raid the world boss together. Send them to the download page first. On Windows, share the whole zip: a lone exe opens to a blank window.

Yes. The AwayWard bot runs the real game in any server or DM: idle combat, gathering, summons, factions, world bosses, the market, housing, rebirth. It also has things the game does not: the Stormcaller, Herald and Alchemist, 50 more companions, Companies, trading, co-op Expeditions and friendly spars. Free, same as the game.

Yes. Link once, from Settings then Cloud in the game or /link in the bot, and the same character plays in both. Your save lives in the cloud and syncs in the background. If the same hero moved on in two places, you pick which to keep; nothing is overwritten quietly. A Discord-only class plays in the game, and Discord-only companions stay with your hero over there.
