AFK HeroesUpdates
What changed in the game, newest first. These are the notes posted on our Discord.
Horde: chests no longer give you a weapon you did not pickFix
When nothing you have can level up, a chest now gives a Limit Break (+5% damage). It no longer puts a new weapon in your empty slot, like knight weapons on a rogue or mage. Reload the Horde page to get the fix.
Titan bonuses now start at item level 50Balance
The DAO vote passed. Titan items below item level 50 no longer give the earning bonus, the gold bonus, or the bigger 16% set bonus (they count like Celestial for the set). Their stats do not change, and Titan items of level 50 and higher work as before.
A new Wallet windowNew
The Wallet has a new look. It opens on your balance, with Deposit, Withdraw, History and Buy buttons. Each one has its own page, and you check a withdraw before you send it.
Discord stats now show Titan Dust and Heart of TitanImproved
The Discord LIVE STATS channels now also show how many Titan Dust and Hearts of Titan exist right now. The count refreshes every 3 hours.
Burn a skin to upgrade another skin by +1New
You can now burn a skin to give another skin +1 for free. No Gold and no $AFKHERO. Both skins need the same base bonus (10% with 10%, 5% with 5%). The burned skin is gone, and it always gives +1, whatever its level.
Titan materials now drop in three Nightmare zonesBalance
Titan Dust and Heart of Titan now drop only in Nightmare, in Frozen Spire, Singularity Vault and Void Abyss. Heart of Titan used to drop only in Void Abyss. Normal mode and other zones no longer drop Titan Dust.
What to do: Play Nightmare in Frozen Spire, Singularity Vault or Void Abyss to find them.
Titan forge bonus now needs item level 50Balance
Upgraded Cosmic items give a Titan item more power when you forge it. This bonus now works only if the Titan item is level 50 or higher. Below level 50 there is no forge bonus.
What to do: To get the forge bonus, use Cosmic items of level 50 or higher.
Lower minimum prices for Mythic and lower itemsBalance
Gear, pets and skins below Cosmic can now be listed cheaper. New minimum prices: Mythic 900, Legendary 500, Epic 250, Rare and lower 200.
What to do: List your spare Mythic, Legendary, Epic and lower gear, pets or skins at a lower price.
New Titan gear, made from 10 Cosmic itemsNew
Titan is a new gear tier between Celestial and Angel. Make it from 10 Cosmic items, 5 Titan Dust from bosses and 1 Heart of Titan from Nightmare monsters in the last zone. Both are rare and reset every season.
What to do: Get 10 Cosmic items of one type. Open Craft, tap Open Ascend, then pick Titan.
Pickaxe Crates are 30% off for 24 hoursNew
Opening a Pickaxe Crate costs 30% less for 24 hours: $2.10 for one, $18.90 for ten. The sale ends at 19:35 UTC on November 3.
What to do: Open your crates from the bag, or get crates on the Market before the timer ends.
Buy orders for rare items can now offer a real priceImproved
Before, items that rarely sell (like Tier IV Elemental Stones) only allowed buy orders of 10. Now you can offer up to just under the cheapest listing.
What to do: Open a rare item in the Market and place a buy order up to just under its cheapest listing.
Angel and God pickaxes have new powersNew
Energy lasts 12 hours with an Angel pickaxe and 24 with a God. Diamond Digger trips last 3 and 12 hours. Only they can mine the new Angel Hex in each zone center, and only God pickaxes can mine the God Hexes.
What to do: To make one, fuse 3 Celestial pickaxes into an Angel, then 3 Angels into a God.
The Hero tab is newImproved
Your hero now stands on a stage, in a pose made for their weapon. Your gear lights the room, and Angel and God gear get their own scenes. Try on any skin for free, even one you do not have, and find it on the Market.
Every pickaxe now has a limitNew
Each pickaxe now has a limit: the most it can mine, with all your bonuses. A higher rarity has a higher limit.
What to do: While you mine, look under your earnings per hour to see your limit.
Mining is now half as fast, and repairs cost halfBalance
Every hex now digs at half speed, so a hex lasts twice as long. A hex still holds the same amount of ore. Repairs cost half as much for each hour of mining.
The Pets tab is newImproved
All pets are now in one short list that says what each one does. Tap a pet to go inside: it breathes, blinks and answers when you touch it. Costs did not change.
Keep your sealed items safe from Sell AllNew
There is a new Keep sealed items box in the chest window. Tick it and Sell All and Salvage All skip every sealed item. They stay in your bag.
What to do: Open a chest and tick Keep sealed items. You only tick it once. Reload the game if you do not see it.
Chest Limit now costs $1Balance
Each +100 chests now costs $1 worth of $AFKHERO, not $10. Anyone who paid $10 got all of it back and keeps the +100.
What to do: Reload the game to see the new price.
Horde Trial is now one tap awayNew
A new button above Boss shows when your free Horde run is ready, or when the next one comes. It opens a new tab, so your hero keeps playing. Horde Trial is also in the Earn menu.
You can now hold up to 2,000 chestsNew
Chests stop dropping when you hold 500. You can now add 100 more at a time, up to 2,000. It stays forever.
What to do: Tap the + next to Open Chest when it is full, or buy it in the Store. Each +100 costs $10 worth of $AFKHERO.
Horde Trial chests now explain themselvesImproved
Oath of Plenty now shows "+1 from Oath of Plenty" on every chest, so you can see the extra item. Chests also say that Reroll, Banish and Skip are for level-ups.
Fragment Forge has a new lookImproved
Forge Gear, Seal Craft and Dust are now easier to use, with new animations. Pick what you want and press one button. If something is missing, the button tells you what you need. Costs did not change.
Salvage has a new lookImproved
Tap Select All, then Salvage, in the same spot. Or tap a color to pick items up to that rarity. Your gear breaks and the pieces become your reward. Tap the picture to skip the animation. Costs and rewards did not change.
The Forge is now Ascend, and you can add items over timeNew
Ascend replaces the old Forge. Pick Angel or God, then the item type, then the seal. With Star, Moon and Sun items you no longer need all 10 at once: add a few now and more later. They stay after the season ends. Locked items work too.
What to do: Open it from the Crafting tab, or press Ascend on an item.
Your miner moves to another hex when its hex runs dryImproved
When your hex runs dry or closes, your hero now moves by itself to the best hex it can dig in the same zone, and so does your Diamond Digger. If there is no such hex, your hero goes straight back to battle and keeps the energy it has left.
What to do: Nothing to do. A message in the game tells you which hex your hero or your Diamond Digger moved to.
A cleaner Earnings panelImproved
The Earnings panel under the battle is cleaner: your daily earnings (staking included), your share of the whole network and the live line in one row, and today's earnings count up as you play. Boost and Share sit on top.
Sakura Maiko luck now also helps pickaxe upgradesFix
The pickaxe upgrade chance ignored Sakura Maiko's luck. It now adds the same bonus as gear upgrades: +2.5% at skin level 0, up to +5% at level 10.
A cleaner battle screen and zone picture cardsImproved
The battle screen is tidier: a one-line zone banner, arena settings in one gear, and joins, level-ups and boss fights popping up under your session counter. Zones are now picture cards you slide through, and Best zone shows where you earn.
Horde Trial: enemy attacks stay visible in the late nightImproved
Enemy warnings and shots now draw above your own effects, and your hero stays visible in the brightest fights. A new Effects setting dims your own effects, and Limit Break now shows which weapon got +5% damage and its total.
What to do: Refresh the Horde Trial page. You can turn your own effects down under Effects in the settings.
Sakura Maiko luck now raises every reroll resultImproved
Wearing Sakura Maiko now adds the same chance to every reroll result. At skin level 10, Fail drops from 25% to 20% and each result gains 1 point, so a 100% roll goes from 1.5% to 2.5%.
