This game made my whole life. I loved it dearly and it made things seem beautiful when they were grey, that is how I know it is of Love.

I am sad I can no longer play this here. :(

Disappointing in that it is that kind of an idle game where it does not matter what kind of numbers go up, and the theme of the game is just a decoration for those numbers. Yeah, you have three progress bars instead of one where you mine the resource in the first progress bar, craft the item from the resource in the second, and enchant it and sell it in the third, but it feels so shallow considering it does not matter what kind of thing you craft outside of 50 missions without any reward or a limited scope of events, and like, why the hell a knife takes several times more resources to make than a sword, and wood is more laborous and expensive to work with than iron or silver?
I would honestly exchange the stock market and venture investments features which do not even relate to the blacksmithing for more kinds of events, more simultaneous events, missions which actually do have some effect on the game, and more sensible balance of resources and productions that does not get bottlenecked at the resource mining stage for anything more complex than a shield.

wont load,just stuck on a black screen

Graphics and layout are amazing! I haven't gotten everything yet, but I will :)

The game itself was pretty entertaining and very easy to play. I liked that there are a variety of ways to strategize to both maximize the money you can get and also lower the prices of things. I did manage to play through all 50 levels, upgrade all the abilities to their max level of 30, and therefore obviously got all the upgrades to mining/forging/enchanting. It was a fun way to pass the time.

My only complaints are that I think the upgrades levels are a little nonsensical. I knew I was upgrading things to higher levels, but the percent increase fluctuated between each level and there wasn't really a way to tell either for the upgrades or just levels in general how far you are into the process. There is also the fact that the game just doesn't have much replayability in my opinion, both because I don't see the point in replaying an idle clicker, and also there's no actual way I can see within the game to restart.

Oh, and apologies for how long this is, but I have seen some comments on this game claiming that without an autoclicker that this game is impossible and that is 100% not true. Honestly the easiest way to get the higher level things is to turn off auto enchanter until you've forged enough (the game doesn't penalize you for taking a while to fill an order so there's no reason to stress over getting it in that first appearance) and then just solely use the actual job time to enchant.
