Path of Idle: Old Gods Rising Guide & Wiki

Yes. Small Mill released the full game on Steam on August 12, 2026 for Windows and Apple-silicon macOS. The earlier demo was retired before launch. If you are comparing an old video or guide with your game, check its date and version first: several progression, talent, equipment, and automation systems changed during the launch-week patches. The official Steam announcement feed is the most reliable place to confirm the current build.

The latest official update verified by this guide is version 1.0.9, published August 23, 2026. It fixes resource-cap claiming, changes Warehouse Core Renovation to improve high-quality Adventure chest spawns, adds Affix Seal auto sync and Codex Preferred Masteries, and fixes several Rune and inventory issues. Check the version displayed by Steam before following exact numerical advice.

The full Steam description advertises six unique classes with distinct skill systems. Earlier demo material prominently showed Warrior, Hunter or Archer, and Mage, while release notes also reference Priest and Cleric skills. We avoid presenting a permanent tier list because launch patches can change individual skills. A safer team-building method is to cover three jobs—survival, reliable damage, and healing, shielding, summons, or control—then compare clear consistency on the same stage.

Follow Monument objectives until the game has introduced each major system, keep the Godsworn in your active lines equipped, and spend town resources on the system currently stopping progress. Poor recruit options point toward the Prison; level or Baptism limits point toward the Temple; weak gear points toward the Workshop; storage pressure points toward the Warehouse. Change one variable, retest the same stage, and only then make the next investment.

The Monument is the built-in objective and reward track. Follow its current tasks before optimizing systems out of order, use the Tutorial button when a requirement is unclear, claim the reward, and then identify whether the next bottleneck is combat, recruitment, equipment, storage, or a missing Exploration material. Use the installed objective text for exact requirements and rewards because public sources do not provide a verified complete table.

SteamDB did not show a published Steam Deck compatibility rating when this page was checked, and the official requirements list Windows and Apple-silicon macOS rather than SteamOS. That does not prove the game cannot run through Proton, but it means compatibility, controls, suspend behavior, and performance should be treated as unverified. Check the current Steam store badge and recent Steam discussions before buying specifically for Deck play.

The developer announced that demo save data could carry directly into the full release. Use the same Steam account and allow Steam Cloud synchronization to finish before starting destructive troubleshooting. If progress is missing, record the game version and platform, restart Steam, and use the official Steam Community discussion area. Do not download replacement saves or executables from third-party guide sites.

Automate the repetitive action you already understand rather than enabling every rule at once. Version 1.0.7 expanded Market and Prison automation and added Outlands plane switching and Exploration level settings. Configure one rule, observe at least one complete cycle, check inventory and resource results, and only then add another. Conservative filters are especially important before a long idle session because an unfamiliar set or build-enabling item can be more valuable than its level suggests.

Check class and weapon requirements first, then compare useful base attributes, ordinary affixes, rare or legendary effects, sockets, and set bonuses. Rarity alone does not decide the winner. Removing one set piece may disable a valuable bonus, while a lower-level item may support the exact damage type or skill used by a Godsworn. Forge only after the candidate wins the complete comparison, since launch resources are expensive to recover.

Yes when moving from a build before version 1.0.5. That patch changed Blessing to grant one Talent Point every five levels, up to six, without random rolls, and the developer explicitly instructed players to reset Talents so the new points apply. Version 1.0.7 also fixed talent slots updating when Inspire changes. If a build appears to have missing points or slots, confirm the installed version and refresh the affected setup before replacing the character.

Write down the installed game version, operating system, exact screen, action immediately before the problem, and whether it repeats after a restart. Include the relevant chapter, class, town building, item, skill, or automation rule and attach a screenshot or short video when possible. Update first, because version 1.0.7 already fixed possible Baptism errors and Chapter 20 map artifacts. Submit the report through the developer's official Steam channel rather than an unrelated download site.

No universal full-release team has enough stable evidence to be presented as permanent. Enemy composition, available recruits, equipment, talents, and frequent balance patches all affect results. Build a durable frontline, a dependable damage source, and utility; then test alternatives on the same stage with comparable gear. Record survival and clear consistency over several attempts instead of choosing a team from one unusually fast or lucky fight.

Use the tooltip in your installed build for current coefficients, requirements, costs, and effects, then compare it with the latest official Steam announcement. SteamDB is useful for public history but is not a strategy authority. This site focuses on verified systems and decision methods and deliberately avoids inventing undocumented rune recipes, skill values, or drop tables when a reliable source is unavailable.
