IdleOn Patch V1.05 World 7 Part II Update

The second major patch update for World 7 in IdleOn is now live and with it comes a massive amount of new content updates, including a brand new skill and updates to previous IdleOn mechanics.

Patch V1.05 was released on 20th February 2026, titled World 7 - Part II. For the last few months we've had plenty of teasers about this patch, which is one of the biggest in IdleOn history.

During the live Dev Stream, Lava Flame has now confirmed that weekly updates will again resume, including a new free event just around the corner!

World 7 Updates

Researching

World 7 was first released in December, which brought new skills and upgrades that gave every end-game account significant upgrades. Part II is exactly the same, with lots of new mechanics added that can be unlocked to further boost your stats.

But that's not all- World 7 adds plenty of new updates to previous IdleOn Skills and mechanics, allowing newer players to reach World 7 a lot faster.

The first big update is the release of a new skill called Researching. This skill will passively level up and give you Research Points, allowing you to invest in Research Cards that unlock several new powerful mechanics in World 7.

Those mechanics include the new Minehead Game, where you take of increasingly difficult opponents that give account-wide bonuses to all your characters once defeated. You can find the new Minehead Game in World 7: Shimmerfin Deep / Minefield map, one of the new maps added in Patch V1.05.

Pet Updates

The Grand Tournament

This patch came with huge updates to the Pet Companion system, now making it even easier to obtain pets that give account-wide boosts.

First off, head to Pet Park in Blunder Hills (world 1) to claim your free pet. For this week only, you can get a free pet every single day!

The next big update is The Grand Tournament, that runs every day where it puts your pets up against a random player in your league. If your pets defeat your opponents, you'll gain Tournament Points allowing you to progress to the finals.

The prizes for The Grand Tournament are purely cosmetic, so there are no additional pay-to-win features with this feature. The prizes include cosmetic pets that are awarded if you manage to win your Tournament's Bracket for that day.

The Grand Tournament also includes a new shop called the Pet Mart, where you can buy pets directly with Green Gems. The Pets rotate each day, so it's a semi-decent way to obtain pets you've missed; although the prices are quite high compared to rolling for pets at the Pet Park.

Other Updates

There is a new limited time Golden Ball multiplier bonus currently going on for the Arcade, so go spam your balls, as well as a new shop rotation.

Construction buildings in World 3 no longer need materials to upgrade them; you only need Salts! There are also 3 new salts to produce...

New Artifact tier for Sailing has been added, unlocked via the new Research skill in World 7.

New Sigil tier added for Alchemy, unlocked via the new Research skill in World 7.

Gaming has a new Superbits page upgrade added.

Farming in World 6 has new Stickers to collect from Megacrops.

Spelunking World 7 Skill has a new tunnel to explore and unlock.

Over 7 new maps added to World 7 Shimmerfin Deep to explore and battle through.

There's loads more I'm missing, so read the patch notes below!

You fight for GLORY, not for bonus stats, as rewards are purely cosmetic!
Lose all 3 lives, and you're out... but the final 1024 surviving players live on and make THE BRACKET, where they face off in Single-Elimination matches that the entire playerbase can watch in REAL TIME until there is but a single Champion! The Champ will win a CHAMPION PET to commemorate their achievement, so all the world can know what they achieved! (Champion Pets have no stats)
You'll earn Rank PTS based on how well you did, and can gain promotion to higher divisions if you can get enough PTS! You do NOT need to watch your matches to get your points by the way, once you register for the day you're good to go!
Players will be rewarded with Cosmetics based on the best Division they were able to reach, so don't worry if you're demoted half way through the season. These cosmetics will serve a cosmetic purpose, consisting of what cosmetologists would deem appealing visuals!
For FULL info on Tournaments, press the "INFO" in the top-right corner of the Tournament Lobby!
PET MART has opened its doors, found in the Tournament lobby! Buy pets you want directly, no randomness involved! Pets rotate daily, sometimes on a discount, and always in Tradeable form! [Pet Mart sources their pets directly from old and new sets alike, but not from bundles]
The first IdleOn MAJOR CHAMPIONSIP will take place on March 7th 12:00pm PST
Major Championships take place at the end of every season, and will consist of all players in the Gold Division. In other words, the winner of Gold Division on March 7th will be crowned the 1st ever IdleOn MAJOR Champion, and will take home an insanely special cosmetic prize, which will be revealed on March 1st.

Quality Stuff

Added new Damage Symbols for Crystal Damage -- both M for million and T for Trillion! Can you hit the new max damage display of 999,999T?
DB's Charred Bones & WW's Aethermoons can now be held-down on and are used one at a time, just like AC's Arcane Rock!
Various important NPCs added to the Map Info, from Soul Totems to Subfeatures like Coral Kid and Keymaster!
Edited the AFK-Gains display of "Ores/Logs Per HR" and "QTY of Drops" for both ores and logs, so that they are much cleaner. For example, no more "QTY Per Drop: 2423423", instead it'll show "QTY Per Drop: 2.42M"
Breeding creatures are now called Mobs, not pets. Companions are now Pets.
Statue Carry Capacity maximum is now 999,999,999 instead of the previous 9,999,999
Minor adjustments to "Crop Depot" number displays in the Farming Market to make it more legible, less overlapping numbers.

Balance Changes
Aethermoons are now earned every 1hr, and give 1hr of dust instead as a result, so that it matches the 1hr timeline of the other Masterclasses.
Construction "material" costs are no longer. They now just got salts from the refinery.
POW required for last few tunnels has been lowered a lot, in the 10x~1000x lower range.
Quick Slap bubble adjusted to be based on POW of movement speed (albeit base 2, not base 10 for those who understand Logarithmic scale) to be more in-line with "Big Meaty Claws" and "Name I Guess" bubbles which scale based on POW of HP and MP respectively.
Coralcave Crab HP reduced: 8M -> 3M Crystal HP
Coralcave Guardian HP reduced: 200M -> 100M Crystal HP
Coral Reef costs for Tome, Gallery, and Ninja related corals increased by about 1.10^LV
Octosoda will continue doing exactly what it gave you currently, which was Spelunking AFK gains, but will not give AFK gains for the rest of W7 skills. If there wasn't an abundance of All-Vial-Bonus-Multi sources, this change wouldn't be necessary, but there are, so it is!
Charge Syphon increases Max Charge by +1000% per LV, instead of +10% per LV, but Time Candies no longer give Worship Charge
"Total LV of Sigils" Tome Metric now maxes out at is now 120 (new sigils). It should've been 96 before because of Spelunking's bonus, but it wasnt, thats why it's jumped from 72 -> 120 at once. As such, the PTS from this metric have gone way up for maxing it, from 250 -> 500!
The PTS from the "Total Vial LV" metric has been increased from 500 -> 600
Added a cooldown to "guaranteed crystal mob spawn", so that you can only get 2/sec. You still get the same number of them, this isn't a nerf. The only reason I am even writing this here is because I foresee some players getting understandably confused why their first few kills aren't overloading the map instantly with crystal mobs. If you have, say, 1000/day, it'll take 500 seconds to cash-in on them all, but you will still get 1000, got it?
Teh TOM now caps at +1200 Tome PTS. Why not +1000, since Max Lv is 500? Well, because that's misinfo, fake news, and quite frankly no longer the case.

Bugs
Fixed an issue wherein Deposit All button, only when it came to statues coming from storage chest, wouldnt take into account the full bonus exp from having other Zenith Statues
Fixed Funguy's Party Crashin' Quest from being uncompletable -- if you were trying to complete it, simply forfeit it in Codex and try again now.
Fixed the Daily Task requiring sending a "friend message" by making it require sending a "friend bonus" instead.
Fixed the Daily Task requiring dropping a leaf on Stiltzcho, since he got moved.
Fixed an issue where the "Grand Discovery" elixir in Spelunking could prevent you from finishing a run -- this wasn't a bug technically speaking, but it was still annoying enough to warrant "fixing".
Fixed "Picasso Gaming" Legend Talent, the one that boosts all Palette Bonuses from all colours. I have also adjusted the bonus itself -- normally I wouldn't od this, but considering the bonus itself was incorrect previously, I am doing it.
Fixed a small end-game overflow regarding Shrine EXP

Notes
Research AFK gains is only for OFFLINE gains only. Online Research gains are 100%, so if you on you good!
Duplicate pets do NOT count in Tournaments, and never will. You have 17 Riptides? Good for you, only 1 Riptide makes the team.
When you Register for a tournament, you're locking in your team for that day. If you get a new pet after, it will only be in your team for the next time you register!
Tournaments are for glory and bragging rights, not for getting stats.
All mega-rare pets, like my very own Glunko Supreme as well as the new Champion Pets, always have just 10 Power. They have basically no impact on a tournament match... but they'll still be there, dying at the slightest tough in the first fight!
Champion Pets, which are awarded to the winning player of each tournament, have NO IdleOn stats.
You can change which Username you use for Tournaments on Pg 2 of "Info" found in the Top-Right of Tournament Lobby. This is seen publicly by other players in Matches, on the Leaderboard, and in the Bracket!
Rat King's Crowns are not made equally, as the ones further down the log book are way harder to get! Have fun getting TONS of crowns early on as you reclaim all the commons... you'll miss that feeling soon enough...
