## What is Idle Rune Foundry?

Become the ultimate Runesmith! Tap to forge mystical runes, build an army of enchanted auto-forgers, and grow your forge into a legendary powerhouse.

FORGE YOUR DESTINY
Start with nothing but a hammer and an anvil. Every tap crafts a rune, and every rune brings you closer to mastery. Upgrade your tap power, land critical strikes, and build explosive combos to supercharge your output.

BUILD YOUR WORKFORCE
Hire Apprentices, enchant Rune Chisels, fuel Mana Bellows, and command mighty Golem Workers. As your forge grows, unlock powerful machines like the Arcane Lathe, Elder Runesmith, Phoenix Furnace, and the mysterious Void Conduit — each producing runes automatically, even while you're away.

ENCHANT & UPGRADE
Convert your runes into powerful Enchanted Runes to unlock premium upgrades. Boost your tap power, increase production multipliers, and automate your enchanting process for maximum efficiency.

PRESTIGE FOR POWER
When you've pushed your forge to its limits, perform a Prestige reset to earn Ancient Essence — a permanent currency that makes every new run faster and more powerful. Unlock Ancient Upgrades that persist forever, giving you an edge that compounds with every prestige.

EARN WHILE YOU'RE AWAY
Your forge never sleeps! Come back to collect runes earned by your workers while you were gone. Upgrade your offline earnings to collect even more.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR FORGE
Express your style with unique forge skins — from the Classic Forge to the ethereal Celestial Forge. Collect them all and make your forge truly yours.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.6 — 2026-04-27

Your kingdom takes shape. Every soldier you forge now wears the colors of the army they were raised for — Crimson Army I, Rose Army II, Plum Army III, and so on. Squad cards show each warrior's army-of-origin chip and a livery sash across the chest, and your active army's color is visible in the resource bar from every screen.

Plate warriors now wear a complete plate harness (cuirass, gauntlets, full leg plate, sabatons) instead of the partial chest piece that floated over civilian clothing. Female plate received a no-surcoat polish pass so its livery reads cleanly.

Polish: smaller realm-progress fixes under the hood that returning players will see fully when 1.1.0 ships the new keep screen.

### 1.0 — 2026-04-16
