Big update: ladder, daily quests, new armour, trading, pets and smoother play

October 2, 2026

Ladder

Highest level, deepest descent, and the first to defeat each guardian: names on the ladder stay forever. Press L in the game, or see the ladder page

Daily quests

Three new quests every day (reset at midnight): slay monsters, Magic/Rare monsters, a guardian, or gather gold. Each pays Emberstones, gold or crafting orbs at once; all three pay an Orb of Ascent. They sit under the minimap.

Armour, capes and shields

Two new slots: cape (everyone) and shield (Knight), and 15 new bases such as the Wizard Hat, Horned Cap, Leather Jerkin, Fur Mantle and Spike Shield. Every piece shows on your character. All items →

Trading

In town, click a player and choose Trade (or /trade name), put up items and gold, both confirm, and the server swaps safely. How trading works →

Pets

Aldo now sells four pets: the Ember Imp, Bog Blob, Little Shade and Abyss Squidle. They follow you and pick up gold, Emberstones and crafting orbs nearby. See the pets →

Smoother play

  • Characters and the camera no longer stop and jump when the connection wobbles (the delay adapts to your network).
  • The server now sends updates at an even 50 ms beat.
  • Auto quality no longer flips resolution up and down every few seconds.
  • Packs walking into view no longer drop a frame, and skill sounds are loaded ahead of time.
  • Picking up gold no longer rebuilds the whole bag, and the character window opens without a hitch.
