Template:Update history/boosts

From Bconomy Wiki
Release date Update Changes
September 2, 2026 v2026.09.02
  • A bulk set’s Use button greys out if you own none of the boosts.
  • The Use button shows a countdown when the amplifiers in the set are on cooldown.
  • On hardcore profiles the button now respects amplifier cooldowns.
  • Calibrated Amplifier rows in the set editor no longer offer a 2x option.
August 17, 2026 v2026.08.17.2

Improvements

  • Bulk-using a saved boost set now tells you which item’s amount was too high instead of showing a bare, confusing number comparison.

Bug Fixes

  • On hardcore and seasonal profiles, Amplifiers and Pulsators you own now appear under the pinned category consistently.
August 16, 2026 v2026.08.16
  • Amplifiers used through a bulk set are now properly consumed from your account. Previously they were not removed and could be reused indefinitely.
August 14, 2026 v2026.08.14.2
  • Calibrated Amplifier rows now show which action they target.
  • This finally makes them includable in bulk sets!
August 10, 2026 v2026.08.10
  • Obscure Sigil no longer extends the duration of self-only Calibrated/Arbitrary Amplifier boosts on hardcore profiles.
August 9, 2026 v2026.08.09
  • Personal boosts (T4–T6): combine boosts + Pluperfect Gemeralds to make the next tier, or swap 3 boosts you don’t use into 1 boost you do (same tier).
August 7, 2026 v2026.08.07.3

New Features

  • Save named groups of boosts (either boost items or amplifiers) and use the whole set with one click from the Items sidebar.
  • Each set has its own emoji and name; boosts inside are sorted automatically by tier and action. Manage sets in the item-categories modal.
  • Editor has a Copy button that gives the chat command for the set so you can bind it to a hotkey.
  • Using a set consumes everything at once. Amplifiers that are capped or on cooldown are skipped and you’ll be shown a report; if anything in the set is on cooldown you’ll be asked to confirm first.
  • To be clear: you configure the bulk sets at the very bottom of Items -> Categories modal. Add items or specials (only one per section, can’t mix both) and save. You will see your bulk boosts in sidebar then, which you can toggle visibility on/off using the same bullseye icon that you already had before.

Bug Fixes

  • If the Amnesiac perk triggers while a Noetic Pulsator is active, it is no longer wasted and the charge is preserved.
July 30, 2026 v2026.07.30
  • Hardcore and seasonal profiles no longer see the Noetic Pulsator or Arbitrary Amplifier in the Special Store since they can’t use them.
July 29, 2026 v2026.07.29.3
  • Self-only Calibrated Amplifiers, Arbitrary Amplifiers, and Noetic Pulsators can now be found and added to inventory categories without causing errors.
July 11, 2026 v2026.07.11
  • Home boosts list shows “Personal” instead of “Item” for personal item boosts.
  • Item modals now show a green “Active for <time left>” line while a boost item or Gemerald augment is running.
July 10, 2026 v2026.07.10

Improvements

  • Active Gemerald augments now appear in the Home Boosts.
  • The Boosts panel is now a collapsible tree. Each level shows a combined multiplier and the soonest expiry; you can collapse or expand levels.
  • A view button by Help switches between the tree and a plain list and offers Expand all / Collapse all.
  • When a boost row has more icons than fit, the strip scrolls horizontally.

Bug Fixes

  • Arbitrary Amplifier action picker buttons stop resizing as cooldowns tick down.
July 9, 2026 v2026.07.09.2

Improvements

  • Combined boost multipliers on the Home page drop trailing decimals (e.g. “6×” instead of “6.00×”) and now follow your compact numbers setting.

Bug Fixes

  • Very large stacked boost durations now show their true length (for example a ~150‑year reads as 150 years instead of an incorrect shorter value of 6 years or so).
July 9, 2026 v2026.07.09
  • The Arbitrary Amplifier special can be used on Work again.
July 7, 2026 v2026.07.07

Improvements

  • Collapsed boost categories now show their active boost icons and a countdown for anything ending within a day without expanding, hover/click an icon for the full bar.

Bug Fixes

  • Using an Arbitrary Amplifier or Forbidden Modifier repeatedly from the same open modal no longer fails on the second use.
June 28, 2026 v2026.06.28
  • Each boost category heading now shows the combined multiplier total (for example Fish (4×)) before the collapse chevron so you can see totals at a glance.
June 27, 2026 v2026.06.27
  • Boost item names show their tier (for example: Nautical Compass (T1), Massive Driftnet (T4)) in the item modal, inventory, bulk-boost dropdowns, item lists, and market listings.
  • The active Boosts panel on Overview now shows tiers for personal and boss boosts (for example: Elvish Spirit (T1 Low); a maxed boss boost reads (T2 High)).
May 5, 2026 v2026.05.05
  • The Use button for Calibrated Amplifiers (and similar Specials) now respects the real server cooldown – it stays disabled for the full cooldown even after the boost effect ends, so what you see matches what the server enforces.
  • Arbitrary Amplifier picker now disables action buttons when that action already has the server-side max active boosts, and shows a countdown to the nearest expiry so you know when you can add another.
  • The Bulk Pet / Bulk Farm Boost dialog replaced the single dropdown with independent toggles (Pinned, Boosted, Expiring). Turn any toggle on and choose Yes/No – toggles combine together so you can do things like “pinned + unboosted” in one go.
  • Text command support: compound filters work in commands, e.g. /bulkpetboost <item> 1 pinned,unboosted or /bulkpetboost <item> 1 unboosted,expiring:1h.
April 8, 2026 Relay Preparations
  • The game now counts how many times global boosts are used (this covers the global boost commands you already know).
  • Historical uses have been backfilled from past logs, so overall stats/leaderboards that show boost usage will include past activity too.
March 27, 2026 v2026.03.27
  • Mass pet & farm boosting. (TheDepartedOne)
    • You can now boost all your pets or farm plots in a single operation instead of boosting each one individually.
    • In the pet management modal, click Bulk Boost to open the boosting UI. Same for farming – click Manage Farm and use the Bulk Boost button there.
    • You can filter targets by: all active, unboosted only, or expiring within a custom duration. A preview panel shows how many items you’ll spend and what existing boosts would be replaced.
    • There’s also a Replace existing boosts toggle if you want to overwrite lower-tier boosts with better ones.
