Update Log

News from the realm: every update to Kingdoms of Iron, newest first.

Security and stability improvements

Behind-the-scenes work to keep the realm safe and running smoothly. Nothing changes in how you play.

Security & Stability

  • Overall security and stability improvements across the game, including the Old Realm.
  • No action is needed from you, and your progress, items and settings are untouched.

An ad-free realm, fairer crafting and a round of fixes

Kingdoms of Iron no longer shows any advertising, crafting can no longer be rushed, and a set of combat, loot and quest problems are fixed.

Economy

  • The game no longer shows advertisements of any kind.
  • Rewarded ad videos are gone, so Diamonds can no longer be earned by watching ads.
  • Any Diamonds you already have are yours to keep and can still be spent on cosmetic skins.

Crafting

  • Every crafted item now takes its recipe's full crafting time. Crafting several at once takes that time for each item, so ten crafts take ten times as long as one.
  • Time spent away no longer builds up into instant crafts: a recipe is busy until its current craft is finished, and you can start it again once that time has passed.
  • If a craft is refused because you are missing materials, nothing is spent and the recipe is not left busy.
  • Your manual crafting yield bonus now adds its stated amount once per craft, exactly as its description says, rather than multiplying with the number of items crafted.
  • Very large craft orders are limited to 500 items at a time.
  • Recipes, their ingredients and their crafting times are unchanged. If you craft one item at a time in the Village, as the game normally does, crafting works exactly as before.

Combat & Loot

  • Critical hits in the Sundered Rift now deal real critical damage. Before, they hit for just 1, which made critical-hit upgrades weaken your run instead of strengthening it.
  • Some of the rarer elite monsters can now drop Epic items, as originally intended.
  • Trying to reforge a Secret-rarity item now shows a clear message instead of failing with an error.

Progression

  • Gaining skill experience can never lower a skill's level.

Quests

  • The quest board loads reliably, even when the game is open in several tabs or on several devices at once.
  • Daily quests refresh cleanly once a day and are no longer occasionally reset after you have already started or finished them.

General Improvements

  • A brand-new character's first daily login reward no longer occasionally fails to load.
