RealmForge is an idle collector where every Artifact you forge mines Essence for you every second, even while the app is closed. The Essence you build up can be redeemed for gift cards, PayPal, Venmo, and more, as a loyalty reward for playing. No purchase is ever required to earn or redeem. HOW IT WORKS 1. Earn Forge Sparks. Watch a quick ad, finish a daily goal, spin the wheel, complete an offer or survey, or play one of the arcade games. 2. Spend your Sparks to forge an Artifact, and roll for rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic or Legendary. 3. Every Artifact you own mines Essence automatically, every second, forever. 4. Watch your Essence tick up in real time. A real, moving counter you can see. 5. Redeem your Essence as a loyalty reward. TRUE IDLE. ESSENCE ALWAYS GENERATES. Your Artifacts keep mining the entire time you are away. Come back and collect everything you earned. The more Artifacts you own, and the rarer they are, the faster you mine. COLLECT, LEVEL UP, REBIRTH • Build a collection of holographic Artifact cards, each one stamped with its Realm, its number and its rarity. Rarer Artifacts mine dramatically faster. • Level up an Artifact to boost its rate. Rebirth to reset with a permanent multiplier and a prestige emblem that is yours alone, then climb faster than you did the first time. ONE REALM, FORGED TOGETHER • Every player forges from the SAME finite pool of Artifacts in the active Realm. • When the community claims them all, that Realm is complete and the next one opens for everyone. You are not grinding alone. You are forging the Realm alongside every other player and watching it change in real time. THE ARCADE: EARN SPARKS • Try out the Tahjongy, FIRSTLIGHT Tycoon, Codebreaker, and Sparkle arcade games! • Mini-games, offers, and surveys. • New arcade games and mini-games keep arriving. ALWAYS MORE TO DO • Daily goals and dozens of achievements. • Login streaks with milestone rewards. • Global leaderboards for Artifacts, rarity, streaks and rebirths. • Live events with boosted earnings. • A free-entry weekly prize drawing. LOYALTY REWARDS The Essence you generate can be redeemed for gift cards, PayPal, Venmo, and more, as a loyalty reward for playing. It is based on how much you have built up over time, not on chance, and no purchase is ever required to earn it or to redeem it. WEEKLY PRIZE DRAWING Separately, there is a free-entry prize drawing every week. Entries are earned free in game. No purchase necessary. SPARK PACKS If you would rather skip the wait, optional Spark packs are available to buy. They are a shortcut, never a requirement: every Spark in the game can be earned free and buying them does not change your odds of forging any rarity. Free to play. Free to earn. Forge, idle, and collect! Download RealmForge and forge your first Artifact today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RealmForge is free to play and supported by ads, with optional in-app purchases. Essence redemption is available to eligible users 18+ in the United States only. The Weekly Prize Drawing is available to eligible users in the United States, Canada, and Australia who are 18+ or the age of majority where they live. Canadian winners must correctly answer a skill-testing question. No purchase is ever required to earn or redeem Essence, or to enter the Weekly Prize Drawing, and a purchase will not increase your odds of winning any prize or of forging any rarity. Void where prohibited. See in-app rules for full details.
