addedTime Shifting – Time Shifting now only Shifts you to half of your MAX stages reached. For example if you reached a max stage of 800 and you time shift you will only go to stage 400 on your time shift ((Your mage level will also be 400)). Everything will reset as normal, but you will have skill points of the same Mage level’s worth (400 levels worth of skills points to spend in this example). You still have to spend everything like a normal time shift. This is mainly to speed up your climbing back up to your max path and MP/KP gains/farming. -- This should still allow you to have your burst killing speed of time shifting without making the grind of getting back up to your max stage quite as much of a hassle. It also has an added benefit of making your Master of Time buffs useful regardless of your distance into the game. -- Also note - After time shifting you’ll have 0 MP as you would normally but your rate of building it back up will be over a much shorter amount of stages. Your multiplier (The 3x 9x etc over you mp/kp on the main screen will act as it normally would, if you time shift and are above stage 250 you’ll remain at a 3x etc). - Skulls – Skulls and their experience deficit have been removed.
addedOffline Progression – Offline progression has now been added to the game. You can now advance STAGES while offline. -- If you were offline long enough to progress stages you’ll see a message in the Offline Rewards window in orange. If you did not progress any stages you will not see the message.
addedIdle Chest – An IDLE CHEST has been added to the game. You can find it in the bottom left hand corner under the Curse Eater window icon. The Idle Chest generates additional loot (Liquid Gold, EXP, and Arcane Scrap) while the game is running. (It does not generate loot while offline). You can see how much it is generating from the numbers next to it. Increasing in stages or increasing your bonuses (for example through the liquid gold window) can increase how much your chest generates. This loot stacks up in the chest. Hovering the chest will show you how much loot is stored in the chest. Click the chest to grab all of the loot that is stored up! Note: Time Shifting will empty your chest! Remember to grab it and spend it before time shifting if you want to use it.
addedRUNES/Boons – A new Boon has been added to the Fairy Runes tab. OVERCHARGE. This Boon gives you a small amount of HP/DMG when you add Runes to it. Note: You will only see this new Boon if you have all of the current Boons you own maxed out. It was added as a way to spend runes if you had all of your current Boons maxed. It has an exceptionally high cap. - As stated this is a way to spend extra runes once you have maxed all of your currently unlocked Boons. If you have not unlocked the 3 extra boons you can still access this, it works for currently unlocked boons. If you only have the base 9 and max them all you will see this new Boon. If you have 10 boons unlocked and max them all, you will see this Boon. If you have this boon open an unlock a new boon, it will be temporarily disabled (you will still have the bonus from it) until you max your newly unlocked Boon and then it will reappear.
addedLiquid Gold/Runes – The Liquid Gold and Fairy Rune windows now have a toggle for Spending different amounts. You can find the toggle in the top left corner of the window. It toggles x1, x10, x25, x100, and x1000. The two toggles are separate so you can set them separately for each window.
addedOffline Gains – Offline gains (As well as offline progression) can now be gained for up to 7 days of offline time. -- This is up from the previous 18 hours. - Shop – Shop Item: Booster added. We got a lot of requests for the perm bonuses from the value pack to be available for philo stones. Booster has +10% HP/DMG +10% Liquid Gold drop amounts, and +10% Arcane Scrap drop amounts. 1000 Philosopher Stones. - Shop – Lost in Time weekly limit removed.
