AFK HeroesUpdates in October 2026
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%.
Mining bonuses now make you dig fasterBalance
Gold and scrap bonuses used to add extra ore on top of what a hex holds. Now a bonus makes you dig faster instead, every hex takes 3x more digging, and a hex gives exactly what it holds. This season's extra ore was taken back from the hexes.
What to do: Gave to a closed hex that was opened as mined out? Your $AFKHERO gift is back in your balance. Hex funders: your 30% of the ore taken back is ready to claim in the mine.
Best deals now show in empty Featured slotsNew
When a Featured slot is free, it now shows a Celestial, Angel or God item listed well under what the same item recently sold for, marked Best deal. Paid placements still come first.
What to do: Open Market → Gear and look at the Featured row.
Horde Trial: top 20 now win, a Night score, and a pause cooldownBalance
Each prize pool grew by 1,000,000 $AFKHERO and now pays the top 20 of each board. The Long Night ranks by Night score: time survived and kills together. Pausing now has a wait that doubles with each pause in a run.
What to do: Refresh the Horde Trial page before your next run.
The Horde Trial is live: two modes, over 2,000,000 $AFKHERO in prize poolsNew
A new game mode: The Long Night, where every class starts equal, and Trial Ladder with your own hero. The top 3 of each board share its prize pool. A daily quest pays 250,000 gold. Ends Nov 15.
What to do: Play at afkheroes.xyz/
Sakura Maiko, a limited skin: only 50 numbered copiesNew
Sakura Maiko is here: a cherry-blossom skin with its own aura and a sakura burst on every hit. Only 50 numbered copies will ever exist, at $50 worth of $AFKHERO. It adds +10% all stats and +2.5% Upgrade Luck, rising to +20% and +5% at +10.
What to do: Open Store and pick Limited Cosmetics. Your hero keeps their own weapon.
Change your profile frame from your own cardNew
Your own profile card now has a Change Frame button. Tap a frame you own to preview it on your card, then Equip it. Blacksteel, the free default, is always there if you want to turn your frame off.
What to do: Open your own profile card and tap Change Frame.
A simpler top bar and phone menuImproved
Ten tabs are now a few clear menus: Shop, Community and Earn. Invite & Earn has its own button, one bell holds your notifications and mail, and Gold and $AFKHERO sit side by side. On phones the bottom menu matches.
What to do: Looking for Guide, Discord or Log out? Click your name at the top right.
Smoother duels on slower phones and computersImproved
Your duel Graphics choice is now kept. On Automatic, a phone, a slower computer or the game's Low graphics setting starts duels on Performance, a duel that runs slow lightens itself at once, and duels use less processing power everywhere.
What to do: Pick your duel graphics once in the game menu (Graphics); the game keeps your choice.
Season board: the Earned column now shows this seasonImproved
The Earned column on the Season board now shows what each hero earned this season, the same amount the Earnings bonus uses, instead of their all-time earnings.
What to do: Nothing to do.
Season board: the Earnings bonus now counts this season onlyFix
The Earnings bonus on the Season board was counting tokens earned in past seasons. It now counts only what you earned this season, the same rule as your own rank, and the points breakdown shows that amount. A few close ranks swapped places.
What to do: Nothing to do. Tap any score on the board to see its breakdown.
Pickaxe renting: lenders set the longest rental, renters can extendNew
Lending a pickaxe? You can now choose the longest rental you allow, 1 to 8 hours with extensions included. Renting one? Press Extend in My Listings or on the mining screen to add hours at the same price, instead of renting it again.
What to do: Lending? Pick the longest rental when you list. Renting? Tap Extend before your rental ends.
Shorter boss cooldown for Vault and Titan stakersNew
The Idle Warden is ready again 3 minutes after each kill for Vault stakers and 1 minute for Titan stakers, instead of 5. Each fight still uses one Boss Key.
Duels: new controls, clearer skill aiming and keys you can changeNew
Take control of a duel to fight it yourself: right-click to move or attack, hold Q, W, E, D or R to aim and release to cast. Aim markers are clearer, and skills pressed quickly cast in the order you pressed them.
What to do: In a duel, press T to take control. To change a key, open the game menu and choose Controls.
Diamond and up keep the Earning Boost when they withdrawNew
Withdrawing no longer resets the "24h no withdraw" Earning Boost task while you stake Diamond, Vault or Titan, so your boost stays where it is.
Mining now unlocks at 100% Earning BoostNotice
Mining and Diamond Digger trips now need a 100% Earning Boost, the same as offline earnings. Mining you already started finishes normally, and you can always claim your cart.
What to do: Tap Mining or open the Earning Boost card to see which tasks are left.
"What's New now shows inside the game"New
The updates we post on Discord now also show inside the game. When you log in, a What's New window pages through the ones you have not seen yet, newest first, with a short clip when there is one.
Challenge any player to a friendly duelNew
Challenge any online player from their profile card. They get a pop-up and have a minute to accept. Friendly duels never change ratings, wins or losses, and if someone declines, you can challenge them again after 5 minutes.
What to do: Open a player's profile card and press Challenge to duel. Answer a challenge from the pop-up or the bell within a minute.
Gold costs adjustedBalance
Gold costs adjusted: stat rerolls cost 3x the gold (gear and pickaxe), +N upgrades 5x (Angel and God unchanged), potions 2x, salvage 2x and pickaxe repairs 2x. Skin upgrades now cost 1M gold at +0 → +1, rising by 1M per level to 10M at +9 → +10.
What to do: If the game says gold prices changed, reload it once.
Rich veins are in the minesNew
Every mine zone now has 3 rich veins on its far-out hexes: twice the ore, dug twice as fast. Fund a path of hexes to reach one. There are only 3 per zone this season, and once mined out they are gone.
What to do: Open the mine map and look for the glowing hexes far out. Fund a path of hexes to reach one.
Your Drop Boost now speeds up Diamond Digger mining trips tooImproved
While your Drop Boost is on, a Diamond Digger on a mining trip digs twice as hard, up to the hex limit. Trips already out follow it minute by minute: they speed up when a boost starts and go back to normal when it ends.
Leave freely when your guild leader is away 3+ daysNew
If your guild leader hasn't played for 3 days, you can leave with no 48-hour wait and join another guild right away. Donations still waiting for the next level come with you as a credit, and your vault items come back by mail.
What to do: Your guild page shows when it applies. Open Guilds > Settings and tap Leave guild.
Higher-level Diamond Diggers rest less after a mining tripImproved
A Diamond Digger now rests less after its trip as it levels up: 6 hours, 5 from level 3, 4 from level 6 and 3 at level 10. Diamond Diggers that were already resting got their shorter rest too.
Mages now score full leaderboard pointsBalance
Mages had a 10% cut on leaderboard points to balance their higher power, and this season that no longer made sense. It is gone: every class now scores the same points for the same play, including the points already earned this season.
2x Drops now says it doubles your dig rate tooImproved
The 2x Drops boost doubles your dig rate in the mine, not only your chest drops in combat. The Store, your bag and the Docs now say so.
What to do: Use one when you mine: it doubles your dig rate, up to the hex limits.
XP and Drop boosts are now limitedNew
The +100% XP and 2x Drops boosts in the Store now have a limited stock of 100 each. A small bar under each one shows how many are left.
What to do: Check the bar under each boost in the Store to see how many are left.
Google, email and wallet sign-in no longer get stuckFix
Signing in with Google, email or a wallet app no longer hangs or fails with a missing address. If the sign-in window takes too long, you now get a Cancel button, and tapping the same button again starts a clean attempt.
What to do: If the sign-in window is slow, use Cancel and tap the same button again. A different way in opens a new account.
Guild banners now fly over the hexes a guild holdsImproved
Every hex a guild holds now carries the guild's banner on the mining map, with its emblem, or its tag on a shield if it has none. The hex panel shows the emblem too.
What to do: Nothing to do. Upload a guild emblem to see it on your banner.
Invite commissions on a new player’s first pack now clear in 1 dayImproved
When a friend you invited buys their first pack, your 25% commission now goes to the daily review after 1 day instead of 7. Commissions that were already waiting have been moved up.
Withdrawals are open againNotice
An automatic safety check paused withdrawals by mistake for about six and a half hours on October 22. It has been fixed, and withdrawals work again.
What to do: If a withdrawal was refused on October 22 between 10:59 and 17:28 UTC, send it again. Nothing was taken from your balance.
Look around the mine without stopping your fightImproved
Opening the mine no longer stops your hero: look at the hexes and fundings while you keep fighting, and your hero stops only when you press Mine here. Press Mining again to go back. If mining stops, the reason is shown with a Back to battle button.
What to do: Press Mining to look around, then Mine here on a hex when you want to start.
Send every Diamond Digger to the mine, even from your bagNew
Every Diamond Digger you own can now go on its own mining trip. Tap one in your bag and press Send to the mine, no need to equip it. It comes back to your bag when it has rested, and your hero keeps the bonus of the equipped one.
Titans wear the Celestial Atlas frameNew
Reach Titan and the Celestial Atlas frame, +100% earning while worn, is yours within 10 minutes and goes on unless you already wear one as strong. Drop below Titan and it leaves, and your best other frame goes back on.
What to do: Open your profile card to see it.
Free mining hexes now hold half as much oreBalance
The free hexes in the centre and first ring of every mine now hold half as much ore. They dig just as fast but run out sooner, and they refill when the next season starts.
What to do: Nothing to do. Funded hexes are unchanged.
Server Goal bar now changes size every dayBalance
The Server Goal bar now follows the day before. If it filled before 12:00 UTC, the next bar is 25% bigger; if it ended under 25%, the next one is 25% smaller. It always stays between 250,000 and 2,000,000 $AFKHERO.
What to do: Check the bar size on the Server Goal card in the Quests tab each day.
A simpler Server Goal card, with auto-joinNew
The Server Goal card is simpler: one line says where you stand, one button joins, and the top players are always shown. Tick Auto-join daily and it joins you now and every day at 00:00 UTC, so a goal that opens while you sleep still counts you in.
What to do: Tick Auto-join daily on the Server Goal card in the Quests tab.
In Nightmare, stronger gear now kills fasterNew
In Nightmare, the more your power exceeds what the monsters need, the faster the next one arrives, up to 4 times faster. You get more kills and leaderboard points, plus more gold, XP and loot per hour.
What to do: Nothing to do. It works in Nightmare online and offline. The kill animation stays the same; the extra kills show in your kill count and on the leaderboard.
Sell All and Salvage All now take every item from a big chest openingFix
When an opening found more than 100 items, Sell All and Salvage All handled only the first 100 and the rest stayed in your bag. They now take the whole opening.
What to do: Items a sweep left behind before this fix are still in your bag. Sell or salvage them there.
Normal and Pro pack sales now show how many packs are leftImproved
When a Normal or Pro pack sells, the Discord message now says how many of that pack are left this season, the same way the Paragon message does.
Server Goal target cut to 250,000 $AFKHERO - milestones within reachBalance
The daily Server Goal now needs 250,000 $AFKHERO for a full bar instead of 2,000,000, starting with today's goal. Every 25% still unlocks a longer boost for the heroes who joined, so the milestones are within reach again.
What to do: Join from the Quests tab with at least 1,000 $AFKHERO. If the day still closes below 25%, every contribution is refunded.
Items now show their own picture in sale feeds and the mailboxFix
Pets, materials, chests, boosts and name tags now show their own picture in #in-game-sales, the auction feed and the stream's last sold list, instead of a sword or no picture. The mailbox shows pets and skins with their level, and where each item came from.
What to do: Nothing to do.
Guild members now get a pop-up when a guild funding startsNew
When a guild leader or officer starts a guild funding, every member gets a pop-up to give from, right in the game. Guilds with their own Discord channel get a message there from our bot, and another when the hex fills.
What to do: When the pop-up opens, give right from it. You can also find it under the bell.
Hex funders now get 30% of everything mined thereBalance
The funders of a hex now share 30% of everything mined there, up from 10%, split by how much each one gave. Miners on funded hexes earn the same per minute as before, and funded hexes now run out a little sooner.
What to do: Nothing to do. Your share from hexes you funded keeps arriving when you press Claim.
Guilds can now fund a hex for their members onlyNew
Guild leaders and officers can start a guild funding on a hex. For 24 hours only members can give; when they reach the price, the hex opens for the guild alone and earlier funders get every gift back. Not filled in time? Every gift goes back.
What to do: Leaders and officers, pick a hex that can be funded and press Start guild funding. Members give from the same panel.
Rent a pickaxe by the hourNew
Rent another player's pickaxe for 1 to 8 hours and your hero mines with it, or lend your idle pickaxes and earn the rent, less the market fee.
What to do: Open Marketplace, Gear, Pickaxes and switch to For rent. To lend one of yours, press Rent out a pickaxe.
Diamond Digger trips are openNew
Send your Diamond Digger to the Scrap Yard, the Gold Vein or the Fragment Rift with a pickaxe from your bag. It digs for 1 hour, brings the goods to your mining cart, then rests for 6 hours.
What to do: Open your bag, go to the Pets tab and press Send to the mine on the Diamond Digger.
Server Goal contributions come back if the day misses its first milestoneImproved
If a day's Server Goal closes before its first milestone (25%), every $AFKHERO contribution now comes back to the player who gave it. Past days that missed it, back to September 28, were refunded on October 17: 845,989 $AFKHERO to 297 players.
What to do: Nothing to do. Past refunds are already in your balance.
Mining now earns guild GP and Season points, plus a new Mining boardNew
While you mine, your guild now earns GP at the same rate as when you fight, and mining adds to your Season score at half the fighting rate. A new Mining tab on the Leaderboard ranks the gold, scrap and fragments mined this season.
The Season 4 carry-over button is gone from the bagFix
The Season 4 carry-over button no longer shows in the bag now that the carry-over window is over. Reload the game if you still see it.
What to do: Reload the game if you still see it.
The wallet now shows your withdrawal limitsImproved
The wallet now shows the most you can withdraw at once. Diamond and Vault stakers also see a line saying their higher limits are active.
Buy more market listings in the StoreNew
You can now have more than 50 items on the market at once. Each Market Listings +10 purchase in the Store raises your limit by 10, and My Listings shows how many you are using.
What to do: Open the Store and buy Market Listings +10. Each purchase adds 10 more, up to 100 for now.
Your wallet shows the right $AFKHERO balance while you mineFix
While you were mining, the wallet could keep showing your balance from before you started, so a market sale or a referral claim seemed to vanish after a few seconds. Your real balance was always correct, and the wallet now shows it while you mine too.
What to do: Nothing to do. No tokens were ever lost.
One Mining board with one scoreImproved
The Mining tab is now one board: your gold, scrap and fragments from all three zones side by side, ranked by one score. The score is what your haul is worth: gold divided by 7,001, plus 1 per scrap, plus 10 per fragment.
The earnings panel tells you when your zone stops payingImproved
A zone only pays $AFKHERO while it is at most 10 levels below your hero. When your hero outgrows its zone, the earnings panel now says so and moves you to the easiest zone that still pays with one tap.
What to do: See "Not earning here"? Tap the Move button to jump to the easiest zone that still pays.
Season badges now count only the seasons you actually playedBalance
A season badge, worth +20% earning each, is now given only for a season you played. If you held a pack but did not play that season, that season's badge no longer counts.
What to do: Nothing to do.
XP bonuses now add up, and levels from 30 need more XPBalance
Every XP bonus now adds to one total. An XP Boost, a Server Goal XP window, an XP event and Nightmare each give +100% XP on top of your gear, guild and skin bonus, instead of doubling everything. Levels from 30 up need more XP than before.
What to do: Nothing to do.
Cosmic, Divine and Celestial gear now drop far less often from chestsBalance
Cosmic, Divine and Celestial gear now drop about five times less often from chests, so top gear keeps its value and is easier to sell. Gear you already own does not change.
What to do: Nothing to do. Gear you already own is not changed.
Auto Reroll now charges one roll at a timeImproved
Every Stat Reroll attempt is now charged on its own, Auto included. Press Stop at any time and nothing more is charged after the roll on screen.
What to do: Nothing to do.
Frozen accounts now see why they earn nothingImproved
If an account's earnings are frozen, the Earnings strip now says so instead of showing a bare 0, with a link to open a support ticket on Discord if you think it is a mistake.
What to do: If you see it and think it is a mistake, open a support ticket on our Discord.
Higher withdraw limits for Diamond and Vault stakersImproved
Stakers with 15M or more locked can now withdraw more: Diamond 1M per withdrawal and 2M per day, Vault 1.5M per withdrawal and 3M per day. Everyone else keeps 500K and 1M.
What to do: Keep your stake tier active: the higher limits apply only while it lasts.
New in the Store: the Skin Level Transfer StoneNew
Move a skin's level onto another skin. The skin you take the level from is destroyed, and the other skin gets exactly that level: it replaces the old level, it is not added.
What to do: Buy it in the Store. Then tap the stone in your bag and choose Use, or press Transfer on a skin card.
Earnings breakdown now shows your card binder bonusFix
Your card binder bonus (up to x3.00 at Prismatic) now has its own line in the Earnings breakdown, and How to earn more lists it too. The gear and invite tips now show the right numbers.
Live PvP duels are open for testingNew
PvP now matches you live against real players in the Shrine. Your hero fights on its own, or you take control at any moment. Duels count for your PvP rating only. The old auto-duels are retired, and the PvP leaderboard now shows the live rating.
What to do: Turn PvP on and keep the game open while it searches. Take control any time, or let the AI fight for you.
Forge Mastery — earn Boss Keys and Scrap by forgingNew
A new lifetime quest rewards spending tokens in the Forge — upgrades, rerolls, seals, and skin and pet upgrades — with Boss Keys, Scrap Metal and XP Boosts, step by step. Progress counts from today and starts over when Season 4 begins.
What to do: Open the Quests panel to see your next Forge Mastery step, and claim it when the bar is full.
Guilds can now set an entry feeNew
Guild leaders can now set an entry fee in $AFKHERO. New members see it and confirm before joining; it funds the guild's next level first, the rest goes to the guild vault, and it is never refunded.
What to do: Leaders: open Guilds > Settings and set an Entry fee in $AFKHERO (0 = free).
Card Dust: turn extra cards into Dust and craft the cards you wantNew
Extra card copies can now become Card Dust, and Card Dust with a small fee crafts any Origins card you choose, even a numbered Prismatic. The cards in your binder are never touched, and Card Dust trades on the Market under Materials.
What to do: In your binder, open My cards and tap Turn extras into Dust, or Dust on any card.
Season 4 Paragon Pack presale is openNew
The Season 4 Paragon Pack presale is open: 140 packs at 0.99 SOL, one per wallet. Founder and Vanguard holders go first for 24 hours at 10% off, then Season 1 veterans and earlier pack owners for 24 hours, then everyone. Paying from your in-game balance takes another 10% off.
What to do: Open the Presale page to buy. One pack per wallet; it arrives when Season 4 opens on 16 October at 15:00 UTC.
Ask the AI helper in Discord with /aiNew
Type /ai with your question in any channel of our Discord, and the AI helper answers right there, from our Docs and in your language. Up to 20 questions a day each. It can be wrong, and it never asks for your wallet, keys or a payment.
What to do: Type /ai and your question in any channel.
Gold Vein base gold loweredBalance
Now that your gold bonuses count in the mine, the Gold Vein's base gold per dig is lower to keep gold balanced. Your gear, guild, card and Server Goal bonuses still multiply your mined gold on top.
What to do: Nothing to do. Gold already in your cart keeps its value.
Tap your gold to buy or sell itImproved
The gold amount at the top of the screen is now a shortcut: tap it and the Market opens straight on the Gold swap, where you can buy or sell gold for $AFKHERO.
What to do: Tap the gold amount at the top of the screen to open the Gold swap on the Market.
Season 3 pack sales closed early, only the Beginner Pack is on saleNew
Vanguard, Pro and Normal packs are no longer on sale for Season 3. Only the Beginner Pack can be bought until Season 4 opens.
More room for Star-sealed Celestial gearBalance
The supply of Star-sealed Celestial gear in the busiest slots has doubled, so Seal crafts that were waiting in the queue went through.
What to do: Waiting players got their item in the mailbox. Claim it and equip or seal it before the season ends.
Seal Craft now warns when a soulbound item is in the mixFix
If one of the items you pick for a Seal Craft is soulbound, the panel now warns you before you craft, because the result will be soulbound too. The result screen now shows the real reason.
What to do: Check the line under the Seal preview before you craft. It turns orange if a picked item is soulbound.
My cards - every card you own in one listNew
The Origins Binder has a new My cards view: every card with the copy in your binder and how many extra Normal, Holo, Gold and Prismatic copies you hold. Filters show what you are missing and what is ready to fuse.
What to do: Open the Origins Binder and tap My cards at the top left.
Fuse your extra cards into Holo and GoldNew
Every 10 extra copies of a card now fuse into 1 copy of the same card in the next finish: 10 Normal make a Holo, 10 Holo make a Gold. The fee is shown before you confirm, and the cards in your binder are never touched.
What to do: Store, then Cards, then Open the Origins Binder: the buttons are under Extra copies.
Backpack now grows to 10 pages, with a + button to add oneNew
Your backpack can now hold up to 10 pages. The page numbers sit in one compact row, and the + at the end buys the next page for the same price as before.
What to do: Tap the + next to your page numbers, or buy a page in the Store as before.
Gold and scrap now come mainly from the MineBalance
Selling gear to the vendor now pays a tenth of the gold, and salvage gives a tenth of the scrap (at least 1 per item). Salvage also costs a tenth of the gold, so each scrap costs the same as before.
What to do: Mine the Gold Vein and the Scrap Yard, or trade for gold and scrap on the market.
Switch between Mining and battle every minuteImproved
The wait between switching Mining on and off is now 1 minute instead of 10, both ways. Energy works as before: you still need 10 minutes of it to start mining.
What to do: Nothing to do. The Mining switch is ready again one minute after you flip it.
Trade your cards on the MarketNew
Holo, Gold and Prismatic cards now trade on the Market in a new Cards tab. Buy by quantity from the cheapest sellers, see each card's price over 7 days, and list your spare copies one by one or several at once. Normal cards and the card in each binder pocket stay yours.
What to do: Open Market, then Cards. If the tab is not there yet, reload the game once.
Keep items out of Sell All and Salvage All in the chest windowNew
In the chest window you can now tap an item to keep it, or choose an Auto-keep rarity such as Divine & up. Sell All and Salvage All skip every kept item, and it stays in your bag. Long item names no longer push the list sideways.
Zone cards now show the Power you really needImproved
The Recommended Power on each zone card is now the Power a hero without pets needs to farm there without dying, measured from real fights. Turn on Nightmare and the cards switch to the Nightmare numbers.
What to do: Check the zone cards before moving deeper. Turn on Nightmare to see the Nightmare numbers.
Name tags and frames now boost earnings 10x, Void Abyss pays x40Balance
Name tag and profile frame earning bonuses are 10x higher: a +7% tag is now +70% and the Riftstone frame gives +100%. Void Abyss earns more too, its $AFKHERO weight rose from x24 to x40. Rewards are shared, so boosted players now take a bigger slice. Loot is unchanged.
What to do: Equip your name tag and profile frame to get the new bonus.
Moss Turtle lifesteal now has a per-second limitBalance
Moss Turtle lifesteal now heals at most 25% of your max HP per second (40% at pet level 10), so HP and gear matter again. If your hero dies in Nightmare, it comes back in normal mode.
What to do: If you don't want gold spent on potions, turn off "Auto-buy when empty" in the Auto-Pot panel.
Elemental Stones are hereNew
Every boss you defeat, and every boss of a Boss Rush, now drops an Elemental Stone. Fuse five into the next tier, set one on your weapon for more damage per hit (higher tiers hit harder), and trade them on the market.
What to do: Defeat bosses for stones, fuse five into the next tier, then set one on your weapon from Item Enhancement.
Guild leaders can now auto-kick inactive membersNew
Guild leaders can now remove members automatically after 3, 7 or 14 days offline. Members who stopped playing keep their donations in the guild, and so does anyone a leader kicks after 3 days without playing.
What to do: Leaders: open Guilds > Settings and pick 3, 7 or 14 days under Auto-kick inactive members.
Pickaxe Crates can now be bought and sold on the MarketNew
Pickaxe Crates from boss drops are now tradeable: list yours from 1,000 $AFKHERO a crate, or buy more from other players. Crates are not opened yet; they wait safely in your bag until opening arrives.
What to do: To sell, open Market, then Sell, then Chests. To buy, look in the Materials tab. Reload the game once if you do not see them yet.
Bosses now drop Pickaxe CratesNew
Every boss you defeat now has a 10% chance to drop a Pickaxe Crate. Each crate holds one pickaxe for the upcoming Mining mode, so start collecting: they wait in your bag until Mining opens.
What to do: Find your crates in the bag. Opening arrives with Mining.
New item window with Upgrade and Stat RerollNew
Upgrade and the new Stat Reroll now open in one item window. Stat Reroll rerolls a single stat: each roll costs gold (below Divine) or $AFKHERO (Divine and up), can fail, and a 100% is guaranteed by your 120th roll of that stat.
What to do: Reload the game to get it. Your item cards now show each stat's Roll %, so you can see which stats are worth rerolling.
Item stats rebalanced, only the best gear reaches the caps nowBalance
Crit, Dodge, Defence, Gold, XP and Luck have new values on every item, so only the best gear reaches the caps. Your rolls were kept, Attack, HP and Speed did not change, skins keep their bonus, and Knight shields no longer carry Dodge.
What to do: Nothing to do, your items updated by themselves. Check your market listings and reprice them if you want.
Send $AFKHERO or SOL from a Google or email walletNew
If you signed in with Google or email, you can now send $AFKHERO or SOL from your game wallet to an exchange or another wallet. Withdrawals land in that wallet too.
What to do: Open your wallet, then "Send $AFKHERO or SOL". Check the address before you confirm.
