About
The forge never sleeps
Oathforge Idle is a dark Nordic idle and incremental RPG. Run eighteen gathering and production professions, assign workers, forge gear across a deep tier ladder, push open-world combat and sealed dungeons, and swear an oath on the Class Board. Twelve classes — Hersir through Skald — sit at character select with the same cards you see here. Play Online is the live game: browser or Windows, same account, same realm. Guilds, all eight Outpost trees, weekend global raids, and the player market are already running. Premium currency is Oath Tokens.
Systems
Gather. Craft. Fight. Swear an Oath.
Dark Nordic idle systems built for long campaigns — eighteen professions, twelve Norse classes, a Class Board you swear on, and uniques that drop from the fight.

Quarry
Woodcutting
Foraging
Fishing
Hunting
Farming
Smithing
Carpentry

Masonry
18 idle professions
Seven gathering halls and eleven production crafts. Workers keep mining, quarry, foraging, smithing, leatherworking, and the rest running while you plan the next forge.
The Forge
Craft weapons, armor, and profession tools across a deep tier ladder. The Reroll Bench sits beside the anvil. Uniques drop from combat — they are the chase.
Combat & dungeons
Open-world zones T1–T100, sealed dungeon runs, party packs, and guild-scale threats. Weekend global raids need no guild. Combat drops uniques on drop bands that scale with the foe.
Class Board
Combat identity. Each class has three oaths — Tank, DPS, and Healer. Swear one. Twenty skills. The action bar is what you press in a fight.
12 classes
Hersir, Húskarl, Berserkr, Víkingr · Bogmaðr, Skjaldmær, Skuggaleikr, Jötunbindi · Goði, Völva, Seiðkin, Skald. Male and female heroes with signatures. Combat identity is the oath you swear.
Play Online
Browser or Windows 0.96.42. Same account, same realm. Offline still works on the desktop installer. Steam closed beta is next.
Character select
Full roster — 12 classes
Three families. Twelve paths. Male and female heroes with signatures and growth — the same cards you see at character select in 0.96.42. Combat identity is the Class Board oath you swear.
Strength
Physical damage · holds the line
Dexterity
Piercing damage · strikes at range
Intelligence
Magic damage · mends and unmakes
Torstein
Hersir
Character select
Torstein
Hersir · Warrior
“Stand at the front and refuse to move.”
A hersir holds land by holding the line, and answers to no jarl who will not stand in it beside him. He is the sworn point of the shield-wall, first to close and last to give ground. Where the hersir plants his standard, the war-band forms.
Signature · Planted Standard
+14 HP · +4 Mana · attrs STR (2/level)
Strengths
- · Holds enemy attention off softer allies
- · Heavy armour and a deep health pool
- · Trades blows as readily as it absorbs them
Weaknesses
- · Little answer to a foe that will not close
- · Slow to reposition once committed
Gender quirk
Standard-Bearer+4% threat generation
Combat identity is the Class Board oath, not this quirk.
- Planted Standard · Tank
- Line Breaker · DPS
- Rim Trade · Healer
Combat identity
Swear an oath. Play that job.
The Class Board is how a character fights. Each of the twelve classes has three oaths — Tank, DPS, and Healer. You swear one. Twenty skills sit on that class: five shared, five per oath. The other two oaths wait on a reset. The action bar is what you press in a fight.
- ·Twelve classes × three oaths — thirty-six locked oaths
- ·Hersir example: Planted Standard, Line Breaker, Rim Trade
- ·Natural job follows the class attribute — Strength holds, Dexterity kills, Intelligence keeps
- ·Live online and on Windows. Same board in the browser client
