IdleRaiders Workshop & Enhancement Update - Your Equipment Journey Begins!

IdleRaiders Banner

Greetings, Raiders! I'm excited to announce a major milestone in IdleRaiders development - the Workshop System is now live! This massive update introduces brand new crafting and enhancement systems, plus a revolutionary in-game pack purchasing feature that changes how you play IdleRaiders forever.


🏗️ The Workshop: Forge Your Destiny

Brand New Feature!

The Workshop is a completely new addition to IdleRaiders - your headquarters for equipment crafting and enhancement. This new system, located in the game's main interface, allows you to transform raw materials into powerful gear for your heroes for the first time ever!

Blacksmith Requirement

To access workshop features, you'll need to stake at least one Blacksmith hero. These specialized heroes are essential for:

  • Forging new equipment
  • Enhancing existing gear
  • Determining your workshop capacity

Pro Tip: More staked blacksmiths = more concurrent crafting slots and better enhancement success rates!


⚒️ Equipment Forging: Create Your Arsenal

How It Works

Transform collected materials into powerful equipment through our time-based forging system:

  1. Select Equipment Recipe - Choose from helmets, armor, weapons, and accessories
  2. Gather Materials - Collect ores, leathers, woods, and essences from raids and activities
  3. Pay Crafting Cost - Spend RAID coins based on equipment rarity
  4. Wait for Completion - Forging takes time, but quality gear is worth the wait!

Rarity & Costs

  • Common Equipment: 500 RAID + basic materials (15 minutes)
  • Rare Equipment: 2,000 RAID + rare materials (30 minutes)
  • Epic Equipment: 8,000 RAID + epic materials (1 hour)
  • Legendary Equipment: 25,000 RAID + legendary materials (2 hours)

Material Requirements

Each equipment piece requires specific material combinations:

  • Metals for durability and strength
  • Leathers for flexibility and comfort
  • Woods for lightweight construction
  • Essences for magical properties

Equipment Enhancement: Power Beyond Limits

The Enhancement System

Take your forged equipment to the next level with our 20-tier enhancement system! Each enhancement level increases your equipment's power significantly.

How Enhancement Works

  1. Select Equipment - Choose any equipment from +0 to +20
  2. Gather Cores - Defeat specific monsters to collect their cores
  3. Pay Enhancement Cost - Spend shards, coins, and monster cores
  4. Roll for Success - Higher enhancement levels have lower success rates

Enhancement Costs & Success Rates

Early Levels (1-5):

  • Lower shard costs (1-4 shards)
  • Basic monster cores (Goblin King, Spider Queen)
  • Success rates: 50% base, up to 90% with blacksmith bonuses

  • Moderate costs (6-20 shards)
  • Intermediate bosses (Soul Reaver, Lich King)

High Levels (11-20):

  • Expensive costs (25-100 shards)
  • End-game bosses (Ancient Dragon, Demon Lord)
  • Success rates: 25% - 2.5% base, up to 70% - 50% with bonuses

Blacksmith Bonuses

Your staked blacksmiths provide crucial success rate bonuses:

  • Common Blacksmith: +0.5% success rate
  • Rare Blacksmith: +1.5% success rate
