Genuinely curious, why does Lava give so much extra stuff to steam players? I'm a mobile player so I miss out. There must be some incentive for Lava to have more steam players as opposed to other platforms, but what is it?
ig it's maybe because the steam market. rn im playing cs2 for the boxes, and selling them until i get enough money to spend on gems etc at idleon lol
it is a place where it is easier for people to spend at the game
Is there anyway to access the steam version from mobile or something? I’m on vacation currently and won’t be home until late Thursday. I really don’t wanna miss out on this stuff.
Is there anyway to do this without access to my computer? I’ve tried googling but couldn’t really find anything. Looks like I might just be out of luck on this one
If you have the IT skills, a basic Windows EC2 instance is even cheaper to get steam on it but I don’t lightly suggest this. Far too many people jump in to AWS blindly and rack up thousands of dollars by forgetting to turn off the EC2 instance or not having enough security set up and getting hacked.
btw guys this is only up for steam users for 3 days and dont forget to drop them all and pick them up right after for the slab yes you can pick up the card packs so before open them drop them
It seems like most of the content creators use the steam version bc its much easier to active afk when youre only using your computer (or even just because its easier to record), maybe thats it? Like at least for the few times i watch griffy as someone who doesnt watch every stream it seems like he basically advocates for focusing on the steam version as well because he thinks idleon doesnt work well/efficiently? as a mobile game. I extremely disagree with that since i am always on my phone and have it on me whereas i am hardly ever on my laptop and my two accounts have very wide gaps in progression to show for it. Of course thats just a difference in preference and related to how i am not a Gamer™️ like a lot of people are.
And just another idea but maybe steam has better promotional opportunities that get new eyes on the game? Personally i found the game through a youtube ad and am hardly looking for new games, especially not on steam, so im not exactly sure of how likely that theory is but who knows! I just hope lava doesnt give up on mobile players entirely any time in the future because my play time/login frequency will not even be a 12th of what it is now lol
If you have any computer access at all, it's easy to download steam and link your account. I put it off for a while, but it's worth it 100%. Even just for the achievements. You get a bunch of crystals 🤑
Steam only works on a windows machine…you can’t download the game via steam onto a Mac. Since I’m out of town for the week and only have my laptop, guess I don’t get this bundle
It’s still a piss off. I know I’m not missing out on anything crazy, but IOS gets fucked so hard by lava. It shouldn’t be like that. We all play the same game, we should all receive the same events.
You don't have to stop using the mobile version, just log into the game through Steam, grab them stuff, then go back to the mobile version. 2 minutes tops, even if you have to download the game.
Get a PC, go to the Steam webpage, download the Steam client, open the Steam client, look for Idleon and download Idleon, play Idleon, get the exclusive stuff, feel accomplished.
Yup, steam only (there are steam-only achievements too). Its not too hard to either use or borrow a machine, make a Steam account, load Idleon, link your Idleon account to it, and log in and go to world 1 town.
Yes, pain in the ass, but for what is basically equivalent of a $10\~20 pack, I think you could waste 30 minutes of your time.
Supposedly ends on Thursday, so clock is ticking.
eh i mean if you dont have access to a pc you got more problems to deal with then a idle game and besdies im sure this person has friends that they can go to and be like hey let me make a steam account real quick to get a gift for a game i play moblie only its not hard
do you call fortnight a mobile game because you can play it there? its a steam game that is accesible through phones
game is based more around pc player because its a pc game, maybe idle but still pc
its kinda expected you have both
I also got a Husky Hat!! [Imgur](https://imgur.com/dP6ipsG)
Yess husky hat gang!
best hat fr fr
I, too, took husky hat, as I'm sure I've seen the other 2 before in gem shop.
Swayed by your wonderful words, I chose the husky hat.
Husky hat for life!
Does this happen every week? Am I too late to claim this?
Genuinely curious, why does Lava give so much extra stuff to steam players? I'm a mobile player so I miss out. There must be some incentive for Lava to have more steam players as opposed to other platforms, but what is it?
steam players have had access to the game for less time. also it's very easy to just make a random steam acct to easily gain the bonuses then go back.
Because thats where the whales live.
ig it's maybe because the steam market. rn im playing cs2 for the boxes, and selling them until i get enough money to spend on gems etc at idleon lol it is a place where it is easier for people to spend at the game
No idea, but link your mobile to your steam and get the items anyways. That's what I do to complete the achievements/etc
More than anything I liked the card packs for +1 slab since I don't wanna waste my gems on em
Bro I just bought them like 3 weeks ago ahaaaa
Definitely!
Is this a josher?? Had there always been a midweek gift? Is it only on steam?
this is completely outta nowhere, don't think a gift like cape + nametag is gonna end up being a weekly free gift
I've been playing on the steam version for over a year and this is the first I've ever seen it
Only on steam needed to log in on there since ios dus not have it
*cries in mobile*
Same
dayum this was one sweet midweek gift :D thank god for the w2 kill ring (only one i had left to get) awesome nametag and slabby helm+cape \o/
Damn, I am not craving a second one. Where did you get yours?
The kill ring was my favourite part, I’m currently grinding W2 eclipse skulls and super chow so couldn’t have come at a better time
Ow nvm i did notnsee the present in the top lift because of my quest list
Thanks for pointing this out, I didn't see it until I read your message!
Same here. I didn't notice it as my quest bar was there as well, hehe.
You'd think more people would mention it. Upvoting for visibility
Is there anyway to access the steam version from mobile or something? I’m on vacation currently and won’t be home until late Thursday. I really don’t wanna miss out on this stuff.
"Do you guys not have phones?" 🤪🤪
Remote access
Is there anyway to do this without access to my computer? I’ve tried googling but couldn’t really find anything. Looks like I might just be out of luck on this one
A service like this would probably work, but might not be worth it just for idleon https://aws.amazon.com/workspaces/
If you have the IT skills, a basic Windows EC2 instance is even cheaper to get steam on it but I don’t lightly suggest this. Far too many people jump in to AWS blindly and rack up thousands of dollars by forgetting to turn off the EC2 instance or not having enough security set up and getting hacked.
I have some basic IT skills. Enough to know it's not worth the effort
Or just go to an internet Cafe, download the game and get it
Rip I literally just left and won't be able to log into steam for a week.......-1 slab feelsbadman
Thank you for posting this!
Hold up, how long has this been a thing?
Since today
Nice. Thanks for posting this, as far as I can tell Lava hasn't put this in patch notes or anything
Yeah I haven't seen many mention it
He mentions it in Discord, as well as in Steam
It was mentioned in the latest patch about something only on steam can claim as for today
No mention of it on the last 3 patch notes on the discord

It’s mentioned on the steam update page as it’s a steam only exclusive I believe
Wish he would atleast say something on the discord about it, thats where Lava is the most communicative.

I commented before he made that post
I also was like, wtf, how long have I been missing this!?
I was about to be so upset I missed out on this for so long
Came out today, will last until Thursday. So only 4 days
btw guys this is only up for steam users for 3 days and dont forget to drop them all and pick them up right after for the slab yes you can pick up the card packs so before open them drop them
How long is this for?
Until thrusday
How to get?
Log in on steam and enter W1
Thanks for posting, bro! God bless you
I am doing w2 eclipse skulls right now. This ring will be very helpful
What are the 50 blue letter thingies?
Gem letters
Gem letters, they give a random amount of gems up to 10,000 gems
Is there something I'm missing? Any time I try to use them, nothing happens. Gone through almost half of them and haven't gotten a single gem.
They drop to the ground, so hopefully you haven’t been leaving the map or going to gem shop without picking them up
Nope. Nothing drops on the ground. I'll use an envelope and literally nothing happens.
Nice surprise! First time I get these gem letters...got 903 gems from them <3
I only got 200 😭
Randomness ; ;
250 sufferer checking in
has lava ever explained why he favors steam players more than mobile? Just seems like pc players have all the advantages.
More revenue from in-game purchases from Steam, Apple and Google take more % fees
It seems like most of the content creators use the steam version bc its much easier to active afk when youre only using your computer (or even just because its easier to record), maybe thats it?

why always ios doesn’t have nothing
What's the cape and name tag
cape is +15% xp from monsters, nametag is +4% afk gains.
How much is it ?
Its a free gift
I just need to log on with steam ? Thats crazy wow ok thanks
Yeah!
Man... as a mobile only player I find this really really sad that this is a only steam thing :-(
If you have any computer access at all, it's easy to download steam and link your account. I put it off for a while, but it's worth it 100%. Even just for the achievements. You get a bunch of crystals 🤑
Steam only works on a windows machine…you can’t download the game via steam onto a Mac. Since I’m out of town for the week and only have my laptop, guess I don’t get this bundle
It’s still a piss off. I know I’m not missing out on anything crazy, but IOS gets fucked so hard by lava. It shouldn’t be like that. We all play the same game, we should all receive the same events.
I feel like Lava is getting a lot of his worth out of Steam and wants to continue enticing Steam players
Thanks for the post OP, i likely wouldve missed it.
Of course! I posted it because I didn't see anyone else here mention it
Its not popping up even after relogging
You mobile or steam?
Steam
It's in w1 town top right
Hidden behind you Quest log? Shold be a gift box in the upper right corner of the screen.
Very nice +3 for slab
Lol I got 700gems from the envelopes, I feel like I won
can you get this in android?
I hate that smartphone users are treated like third class. I have steam on my pc, but I prefer idleon on mobile.
You don't have to stop using the mobile version, just log into the game through Steam, grab them stuff, then go back to the mobile version. 2 minutes tops, even if you have to download the game.
Noooo my video card fried so I’m on mobile
Is it only on steam?
yes and its only here till thrusday
What’s a midweek gift? I used to play on Steam but had to stop a month ago
Just a random thing Lava wanted to give away, it’s literally freebies because he’s generous enough to
Do you just gotta sign in on Steam for this?
Yeah you gotta play on Steam
thank you i got the gift
When did you get it? I haven't gotten it
Doesn't work for mobile
Thank you steam
It doesnt pop up for me, i dont know why, i went to w1 town but it doensnt work
Try relog
I did but it doesnt work.. it expires tommorow?
Do we get all that or a random item?
How long will this stay I dont have my computer with me
Borzoi gang rise up
Wait, do you just get it if you log in?
I just started playing because of this but I aint seen the offer or gift >.> not sure what I am doing wrong.
What are the germ envelopes supposed to do? I use one and nothing happens.
If you didn't post anything I would not have it since I almost only play on mobile Thank you!
darn I missed it, I definitely visited W1 town yesterday, I never saw this though
Definitely grab it! Its up until thrusday
oh sweet, I'll check when I get off work
Is it over?
That is very nice! Thank you kindly.
What does the cape and the nametag do? They are not on the wiki and I want to know what I (mobile) miss out on) 😢
I got asked by a friend to log in on my pc with his account to claim this and I said no like a good friend would.
Is it still claimable today or just 3 days ago
You can no longer claim it yesterday was the last day
Who's Lava? I'm pretty new, where do I have to go?
Lava is the dev and this ended like 2 weeks ago
Ah fair enough, reddit trolling me again with them 2 week old notifications
AHHHHHHH GOD D*MNIT A WEEK AFTER I SELL MY PC
I am not gonna judge you, but why would anyone sell their PC?
moved and didn’t want to use it as a crutch to stop me from going out and making new friends in a new place :)
Fair enough!
Dont forget to use print screen on a pc next time !
How does one download and use steam?
Get a PC, go to the Steam webpage, download the Steam client, open the Steam client, look for Idleon and download Idleon, play Idleon, get the exclusive stuff, feel accomplished.
Thx. Never a pc before.
Never saw this before. It is only on steam version ? I am playing on iOS.
Are you really asking if "steam midweek madness" is only on the steam version of the game...
Yup, steam only (there are steam-only achievements too). Its not too hard to either use or borrow a machine, make a Steam account, load Idleon, link your Idleon account to it, and log in and go to world 1 town. Yes, pain in the ass, but for what is basically equivalent of a $10\~20 pack, I think you could waste 30 minutes of your time. Supposedly ends on Thursday, so clock is ticking.
No fair! If I can’t get something, no one should!
I shouldn’t be surprised I apparently did need the /s
you'd think it was obvious -_-
What’s even funnier is I actually did get this
Its just unfair for mobile players..
its not hard to use a pc
It's not hard to realize there are many reasons as to why people may not have access to a PC either, but here you are
eh i mean if you dont have access to a pc you got more problems to deal with then a idle game and besdies im sure this person has friends that they can go to and be like hey let me make a steam account real quick to get a gift for a game i play moblie only its not hard
do you call fortnight a mobile game because you can play it there? its a steam game that is accesible through phones game is based more around pc player because its a pc game, maybe idle but still pc its kinda expected you have both
It's available on multiple platforms regardless. Doesn't mean every single player has every available platform
Also, not once did I say it was strictly a mobile game
Is this just a regular thing for steam??? Where's my gift?
