Group Finder revamp, Marketplace price guard, loadout fixes and mobile polish.
New Content
- Group Finder revamp:
- Tabs are now Duo Zones, Dungeons, Custom Groups and History. The Queue tab is gone; search counts sit on the zone tiles.
- Each zone has one target difficulty, and a match starts at the highest difficulty everyone accepts.
- A zone only searches when every party member has a loadout linked to it. Tiles show that loadout's gear score.
- Dungeons tab: a Dungeon keys grid (click a key to search for it, click it again to stop) and a key augmentation range.
- New preferences: Teammate minimum gear score (off by default), Group with (Everyone / Guild / Friends / Guild + Friends), Allow mercenaries (on by default), and roles (Tank / Support / DPS).
- Buttons read Find Team and Stop Searching.
- Combat zone and dungeon pages have a collapsible Group Finder section with its target difficulty, so you can search right there.
- Stopping a Group Finder run also turns off your search.
- History tab: your runs from the last 30 days with outcome (Victory, Defeat, Left, Stopped, Stalled), members, loot, duration and Add friend.
- Crafted Cannon parts (Illegal Barrel, Firing Mechanism, Unstable Powder, Reinforced Stock, Enchanted Scope), Djinn's Blessing and Eye of the Storm now show in the Encyclopedia.
Balance
- Awakened World Shaper and World Walkers add one piece to a single set instead of every set: of the sets worn on head, body or legs that haven't reached their top bonus, the one with the most pieces.
- Void Anchor is now a Melee necklace: requirement magic 80 -> attack 80, intellect 18 -> strength 18, Magic accuracy 12 -> Melee 12, damage affinity Magic +1 / Melee -2 -> Melee +1 / Magic -2, augment bonus intellect 1.8 -> strength 1.8 and Magic accuracy 1.2 -> Melee 1.2.
- Crusader's Great Helm, Crusader's Cuirass and Crusader's Tassets gain +6 strength, intellect and dexterity (+0.6 each per augment level); Crusader's Sabatons gain +4 (+0.4).
- Fractured Identity is crafted under Hybrid instead of Melee.
- Shrine Marks from guild offerings now follow contribution points x (0.25 + 0.025 per Chapel level). They used the gold value of the offering, so one Basic Rations could hit the weekly cap.
- Elite scrolls: forced monsters are capped at the scroll's limit (augment level / 10, rounded down, + 1). The Bestiary and Encyclopedia show the trimmed waves.
- Marketplace: a fill trades at the price of the order that was already listed, not the incoming one.
- Mercenaries can't be edited, reordered or dismissed during combat ("Cannot change mercenaries while in combat!"). Edits used to apply mid-fight.
UI
- Price check on the Marketplace: listing below half the reference price (7-day average or lowest listing) or below the highest offer, or offering above double it, shows "Check the price" and needs a second click on Confirm price.
- Whisper from a chat name or the guild member menu opens the conversation and focuses the chat box. It also expands collapsed chat on desktop and opens the chat tab on mobile.
- Combat zoom: Fit keeps refitting until you pan or zoom yourself, and the Fit button resumes it. Fit and Back moved next to the status strip on desktop. Default Zoom is reset to Fit for everyone.
- New setting Always Show Recipe Details (mobile): keeps a recipe's Variants and Cost sections open. Their open or closed state now also sticks for the session.
- Enable Pinned Tabs is on by default for new characters.
- Mining, Fishing and Foraging zones are a card grid with at least two zones per row on phones. Wishlist cards are wider.
- Patch notes now live on idlescape.com/patchnotes, and the in-game News panel reads them from there.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed linked loadouts not applying before an action started, start requirements ignoring the linked loadout, and combat starting before the loadout was equipped.
- Fixed the loot log not naming the monster that dropped the loot.
- Fixed browsers autofilling your account password into chat channel passwords, settings and talent fields.
- Fixed iOS zooming into input fields, text inflating in landscape, landscape phones losing the mobile layout, and the bottom dock sliding off screen.
- Fixed item hover reflowing or overflowing grids in the inventory, crafting, cooking and currency panels.
- Fixed marketplace buttons clipping, the brewing quality slider resetting, brewing and crafting panels not scrolling, the fertilizer selection highlight, and long popups and dialogs not fitting on screen.
- Fixed set bonus tooltips merging differently worded tiers into one garbled line.
- Fixed the profile dungeon, icon and achievement editors.
- Fixed mobile overlaps in Runecrafting, the Platinum Shop, Augmenting, Scrapping and the combat header, and the squeezed mobile header. Marketplace search is always visible on mobile, and mobile combat has a Back to Combat button.
- Fixed switching crafting variants losing Max or overshooting the quantity, and number inputs hiding their digits.
- Fixed desktop dialogs not focusing their first field, and the Enter that opened a dialog also submitting it.
