What is Cindervale Idle?
Cindervale Idle takes everything addictive about a deep fantasy RPG and strips it to its purest form. Train, gather, craft, and fight with a single click — then close the game and let your embers keep burning. Offline progression means the grind never stops, even when you do.
Whether you've sunk a thousand hours into classic skilling RPGs or you've never touched one, Cindervale is built to fit around your life. Idle when you're busy. Min-max when you're not. Every system rewards the time you give it.
A world forged in ash
The realm of Cindervale is a dark-fantasy land of dying embers, shadowed forests, and things that stir in the deep. Chop haunted timber, mine cinderstone, brew volatile potions, and forge weapons worthy of the horrors ahead — then carry that hard-won gear into twelve cursed combat zones, from the lowly Rat Warrens all the way to the Demon Sanctum.
Main Features
12 skilling professions — Woodcutting, Mining, Fishing, Foraging, Smithing, Cooking, Alchemy, Firemaking, Agility, Jeweler, Farming, and Crafting. Every skill feeds the others.
A 98-point mastery tree for every skill — Deep, meaningful passive trees let you specialize, not just level up. Build your own path to Grandmaster.
12 combat zones & 80+ foes — Grind standard monsters, hunt rare spawns, and topple a boss at the end of every zone. From the Rat Warrens to Thornwood Thicket, Frostfang Tundra, the Ashen Steppe, and beyond.
Forge, socket & enchant — Smith tiered gear, slot socketable gems, and enchant your loadout. Two-handed weapons, shields, and off-hands all change how you fight.
9 collectible familiars — Rare monster spawns seed a collection of zone-specific pets. Gotta hunt 'em all.
Raids — One shot gauntlets that test your best gear and build for the best loot.
Offline progression — Your skills and battles push forward while the game is closed. Come back to a haul every time.
33 achievements — Long-haul goals to chase across every corner of the game.
Multiple save slots — Run different builds side by side.
Master twelve skills
Every profession in Cindervale interacts with the others. There's no dead-end skill — every hour you pour into one pays off across the rest. What order will you master them in?
Descend into the dark
When your gear is ready, take the fight underground. Battle through twelve escalating zones of rats, spiders, shades, and demons, each capped by a boss that guards its rarest drops. Track every kill in the Monster Log, chase rare spawns for your familiar collection, and spend your Combat Mastery points across a sprawling tree that reshapes how you fight. New combat styles and content land in regular updates — the darkness keeps growing.
An idle game that respects your time
Cindervale is designed to be played your way. Leave it running in the background, check in on your phone-sized breaks, or sit down for a deep min-maxing session — the game meets you where you are. Auto-eat keeps you alive, offline progress keeps you moving, and there's always one more level, one more drop, one more zone.
The embers of Cindervale are waiting. Will you let them die — or forge something legendary?
