Eldara Skill and Rebirth Planners
Paper tools for idle blocks — the game window is still the calculator.
This hub holds planning tables, not addons. Eldara 1.0 does not need a damage sim. It needs a written order so you do not park the wrong skill for three nights and then prestige a Forge wallet by accident. Everything here is static: early / mid / late training rows, and a keep-versus-reset list for rebirth. Nothing on these pages scrapes your save or updates when you click a monster.
Two child pages:
- Skill training planner — copyable tables for early, mid, and late idle blocks. Firemaking stays on every row. Combat, gathering, and artisan lanes split after the fires are lit.
- Rebirth reset planner — what you keep (Codex, collections, achievements, pets, refinement) versus what you throw away (Eternal Forge Echoes and Forge upgrades), plus when 64 ranks and 5,000,000-Echo crates should delay a prestige.
If you wanted a live XP-to-level widget, this is the wrong site. Idle the skill, read the tooltip, come back and rewrite the row. The seventeen-skill map explains inputs. The skill training priority explains why the first row is always Firemaking. These planners only sequence the clicks.
How to use a static planner in an idle RPG
- Write tonight’s bottleneck in one word: fires, food, bars, ammo, pet, dungeon, or Echoes.
- Open the matching planner. Do not open both unless the bottleneck is “I was about to prestige.”
- Park one action. Eldara pays for focus. Three styles overnight is how refinement stalls.
- After the offline window, cross out the row and write the new bottleneck. The table is allowed to change. The Firemaking rule is not.
Houses, pets, and bosses can rewrite a row without rewriting the hub. A Verdant Circle donation plan might push Cultivating up a night. A missing Steelfang might push Melee mastery above a crate. A mythic hunt might demand food more than ore. Those systems live on the factions overview, not inside a spreadsheet.
What these tools refuse to do
- They will not invent XP-per-hour. Patches move numbers; roles last longer.
- They will not invent boss hit points or a “safe level” for Ignarath’s throne.
- They will not tell you to spend money. Eldara is a one-time Steam purchase with no microtransactions.
- They will not invent a shop loop. Eldara is a one-time purchase.
- They will not schedule multiplayer lockouts. The game is single-player with offline progress.
Hardcore users can still use the tables. They just cannot afford a wrong combat row: one life, half XP, half gold. Put extra food on every combat line if that is your save. The hardcore rules are the mode; this hub is the paper.
Related pages that are not tools
Loadouts belong on melee, range, and magic builds. Pet chase order belongs on pet rankings by domain. Patch dates belong on the patch history hub. Official store and Discord belong on the links hub. If a planner and a Steam note disagree, the note wins and the planner should be rewritten.
New saves should not start here. Start on the day-one walkthrough and the how to play idle page, then come back when you are choosing between two honest actions and need a table to break the tie.
These planners are paper, not addons. Copy a row, idle, then rewrite the row. If you want live math, the game window is the calculator; this hub only sequences the questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Is the skill planner a live calculator?
No. It is a set of early, mid, and late tables you copy by hand. XP rates live in the client. Open the skill training planner when you need order, not arithmetic.
What does the rebirth planner actually track?
Keep versus reset: pets and Codex stay, Eternal Forge Echoes do not, refinement goes up about +5 per cycle. Use the rebirth reset planner before you confirm prestige.
Should I use these tools during Early Access?
Early Access ended on 2 September 2026. The tables describe 1.0 rules, including Forge ranks taught in August. History sits on the Early Access recap.
Do the planners include house donations?
Only as a warning. Donate surplus after you park the skill row, and remember a gift can cut rival houses. Details on the three faction houses.
Where do I go if I need combat steps instead of tables?
The idle combat guide and the combat loadout rankings. This hub will not simulate a hunt.
