The mobile game Idle Skilling incorporates several systems for player advancement, including an Ascension mechanic and various promotional elements. The provided source data focuses on the in-game mechanics of these systems, detailing how players can utilise specific perks and potentially redeem codes for rewards. This information is drawn from game-specific wikis, community discussions, and code redemption pages.
The Ascension Mechanic and Perk Systems
In Idle Skilling, Ascension is a core progression feature that allows players to reset their current progress in exchange for permanent bonuses. According to the game's wiki, players keep 20% of their souls when they ascend. The amount of Ascension Points (AP) earned is determined by five primary sources: Total Kills, Total Reps, Total Ores Mined, Total Fish Caught, and the Total of all Skill Levels.
Players can increase the amount of AP gained through various multipliers. These include: * Allocating perk points to the 8th blue perk, which grants +4% AP per level, up to a maximum of +40%. * Unlocking the Pig's Head secret, providing a +40% AP bonus. * Crafting Enigmatic Boosters from level 40 Smithing, which increases the AP bonus by 2% per level. * Unlocking the level 70 Summoning AP Rift, granting 25% + 5% per level AP gained on Ascension. * Crafting the Bonus Reset AP trinket at level 70 Smithing, giving +2% AP per level. * Purchasing the Double AP bonus from the Gem Shop for 100 gems, which adds +100% more AP per purchase.
AP Perk Trees
The Ascension system is supported by several perk trees that unlock specific bonuses. The source data outlines perks available in different zones, such as the Desert, Grasslands, Mist, and Clear Mountains.
In the Desert perk tree, players can invest in upgrades like "Candy Freebies," "Counterfeit Tickets," "Monster Decimation," "Idle Torment," "Monster Laundering," "Desert Collector," "Cashback Guarantee," and "Star Card Limit+." The "Candy Freebies" perk specifically relates to the acquisition of free candy, which is a consumable item in the game.
The "Candy Freebies" upgrade reduces the time required to receive a free candy coupon. The data indicates that at Level 0, a free candy coupon is received every 48 hours. At Level 1, this time is reduced to 46 hours. At "Level Max," the time is reduced to 24 hours. It is important to note that the source data does not specify the exact number of levels required to reach the maximum tier, only the benefits at these specific milestones.
Other perks in the Desert tree include "Counterfeit Tickets," which gives a chance to receive double tickets every two hours, and "Cashback Guarantee," which adds a percentage of cashback on all cash spent and increases starting cash when ascending. "Monster Decimation" adds to the kill count for every monster killed, and "Idle Torment" increases damage for each Idle Attack.
In the Grasslands perk tree, upgrades include "Starting Perk Points," "Yellow Crystals," "Grasslands Collector," and various H2O (likely referring to a resource or stat) boosts for Accuracy, Damage, and Health.
The Mist perk tree features perks such as "Greedy Fish," "Star Card Rarity+," "Excellent Timing," "Trinket Tinkering," "Skilltree Overcharge," "Mist Collector," "Banana Bonk," and "Shoulder Tap." The "Skilltree Overcharge" perk allows Skilltree perks to be leveled up further, noting that this is "Further upgraded by Rebirth."
The Clear Mountains perk tree includes "Rift Kickstarter," "Purple Crystals," "Mountains Collector," "Idle Whirlwind," "Weapon Savant," "Skill Point Bonanza," "Blue Crystals," and "Skill Max." "Rift Kickstarter" adds a starting level for every Rift, while "Skill Max" adds a starting level for every skill.
In-Game Candy and Gem Shop Mechanics
Candy is a consumable item in Idle Skilling that can be purchased or obtained through specific perks. According to the Gem Shop information, buying candy costs 50 Gems. However, if a player has earned Candy Coupons from Raid drops or through the "Candy Freebies" AP Perk, candy can be purchased freely without spending Gems.
When candy is purchased, there is a chance to receive different flavours, which correspond to varying durations of effect. The flavours and their associated chances are: * 2 Hour: 44% chance. * 4 Hour: 26% chance (Flavortext: "Not too shabby"). * 8 Hour: 18% chance (Flavortext: "Hey that's pretty good"). * 24 Hour: 8% chance (Flavortext: "I don't quite believe it"). * 72 Hour: 4% chance (Flavortext: "Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner").
The Gem Shop also offers other permanent upgrades purchasable with Gems, such as "2x Spirit EXP," "2x Summon EXP," "2x AP," "Hyper Spirits," "Bonus Rift EXP," and "Gem Rift." The "2x AP" upgrade costs 100 Gems and permanently doubles the amount of AP gained per Ascension. The "Gem Rift" upgrade costs 500 Gems and provides 150 Gems every day for 10 days.
Idle Skilling Codes and Redemption
The source data mentions Idle Skilling codes, which are promotional strings that players can redeem for in-game rewards. These codes are often distributed during game updates, events, or through promotional campaigns. A page dedicated to these codes suggests that they can provide exclusive in-game bundles and other rewards.
According to the source, codes can be redeemed in the game, though the specific user interface or menu for redemption is not detailed in the provided text. The data suggests that codes might drop during battles or be included in game updates. One source mentions that "Idle Skilling gift codes redeem today on ios" is a phrase associated with finding codes, suggesting that codes are platform-specific or at least promoted in that context.
The source also notes that registration or login is not required for the LINEGames™ platform, implying that the code redemption process is straightforward and does not involve complex account creation. However, the precise steps for redeeming a code are not explicitly listed in the provided chunks. A user comment from a Steam community discussion suggests that the coupon for free candy is "automatically added" when accessing the ascend perk or gem shop, but this is an unverified user report and should be treated with caution.
Conclusion
The provided source data details the internal mechanics of Idle Skilling, specifically focusing on the Ascension system and the "Candy Freebies" perk. Players can utilise AP to purchase perks that reduce the cooldown for free candy coupons, with the maximum tier reducing the time to 24 hours. Candy itself can be purchased with Gems or via coupons and offers various duration buffs. The Gem Shop provides further permanent boosts, including double AP gains. Additionally, the game features a code redemption system for promotional rewards, though specific redemption instructions are not detailed in the available documentation.
