A brand new Master Class has arrived in IdleOn for Patch V2.40 and we also got a new timeline update for the release of World 7.
Bubonic Conjuror can now advanced to Arcane Cultist by speaking to the World 6 NPC Masterius. This class, like previous Master classes, resets you back to Blunder Hills where you take on the Arcanist Form and battle your way through IdleOn maps.
The Arcane Cultist requires you to defeat Arcane mobs to unlock the various portals throughout IdleOn. All mobs drop a new currency called Tachyon, used to upgrade the Arcane Cultist's skills. For your reward, you'll be able to get the new Prisma Bubbles for Alchemy, first introduced in the Summer Event.
If you want a quick boost for your new Arcane Cultist, there is also a brand new Arcanist Crown in the Gem Shop that gives +25% extra Tachyon.
With this update, Windwalker Master class now has an AFK mode! You'll need to collect 1000 Aetherfragments whilst actively playing in order to unlock it.
The Summer Event is still on-going, and ends on 26th June!
Patch V.240 Notes
NEW CLASS: Arcane Cultist! Unlocked on your Bubonic Conjuror by talking to Masterius in World 6
15 new talents for the Arcane cultist, including "Arcanist Form", "Tesseract", and "Arcane Crystals".
In "Arcanist Form", you must lift the Arcane Barrier on each map to progress.
Collect tachyons to upgrade the "Tesseract", which gives 58 new bonuses!
Summon "Arcane Crystals" to cultivate permanent "map-bound" bonuses to EXP, Drop Rate, and AFK Gains!
You can now AFK Windwalker - just collect 1000 Aetherfragments first, similar to how DB works!
2 new upgrades to the Compass for windwalker, allowing you to toggle Tempest drops, and guarantee Tempest stones succeeding.
2 new Gold Ball Arcade Shop bonuses to upgrade, along with 7 others from past rotations!
Added the "No Bubble Left Behind" display to Alchemy, for those that have NBLB.
World 4 lag when entering should be basically eliminated.
Auspicious Aura damage decreased: +3% DMG per LV -> +.6% DMG per LV, and hits less frequently. [Note: Since this is the only Balance change, I've put it here to keep notes cleaner]
Fixed a rare bug where the "personal" obols would go missing for a select few people who did the full-class-reset. If you lost your obols, please email me with proof of lost obols, and you will be given gems to re-buy these missing obols from the Limited Specials gemshop.
World 7 News
This patch also brough us an update from developer LavaFlame2 with regards to the upcoming World 7 Expansion.
The release date for World 7 is going to be around September, with the World being released in "parts". from the image above, it looks like World 7 may very well feature underwater themes!
LavaFlame2 posted both on Discord and Reddit with the following World 7 details:
Yes, it's true! I have officially decided to develop and release World 7 in several parts.
I want to give you all my full plans so you have the right expectations for what is to come -- what's the same, and what's different-- while explaining for the curious the reasons behind this decision.
With World 6, I left you all for ~4 months. From Oct. 2023 to Feb. 2024 you saw no game updates, just teaser posts here on discord. After those 4 months, you saw 14 new monster maps, 3 new skills, 1 sub-feature (the beanstalk), and ZERO off-path maps.
With World 7, I will not be leaving you all for 4 months to release in November 2025, but instead more like 2 months and releasing in September 2025. I will be hitting you with 1 new big skill, 6 new monster maps, and MULTIPLE sub-features (think beanstalk) and MULTIPLE off-path maps (think sewers). I will not be doing weekly updates after, but regular updates with skill 2, skill 3, 12 new monster maps, MORE off-shoot maps and 1-off cool features included in those.
So... why am I doing this?
Simple, really. There is nothing that IdleOn needs more than new end-game maps to push. (I don't mean this literally. There's a reason I'm not rushing to add "Samurai 2" map or JUST a new monster map. I mean the overall idea of the game's world progressing beyond World 6).
That is the #1 thing that pushed me in this direction -- why postpone the launch of what we need most (new maps) back several months just for the sake of getting all 3 skills out at the same time? The only reasons are: "Tradition", and "vibes".
For Tradition...? Well, I just am not a fan of sticking to tradition for the sake of it, at least when it comes at the cost of quality. The only tradition I follow is genuine quality content thats fun to play.
For vibes...? Yes, it is nice to get all 3 skills at once. I think it worked well for earlier worlds when you needed that huge overload of stuff to do. But with so many things in the game already, its just not as necessary -- especially since you all know the 3 skills will come out quickly enough.
Other reasons are pretty simple:
I'd like to see what a more iterative approach would result in for a new world. I've always just made entire worlds with NO feedback (except for feedback on previous worlds), so maybe releasing part 1, getting your feedback, then making part 2 and so on will make for a better overall World 7!
My own sanity, although I want to share an important point. While I have been considering releasing World 7 in parts for a while, I only knew for certain I would do it in parts when I accepted that I would NOT. I needed to be sure I made this decision to make IdleOn better, and not because I wanted to skip out on the "tough times" of making the whole world in one go.
