Master Orb of Creation from First Conjure to 1.0 New Game+
Orb of Creation Wiki
Orb of Creation is an active incremental-puzzle game by Marple Games where you play a wizard building magical industry through keyboard spellcasting, spell bar loadouts, and deliberate upgrade order. The game reached full 1.0 release on June 23, 2026 with New Game+, randomized discoveries, Agromancy, and soft gates—the latest patch is v1.0.4 with Auto Buyer and Agromancy QoL. This wiki covers mechanics, walkthroughs, patch notes, builds, and honest answers—no fake promo codes.
Quick Start for New Wizards
New players should learn controls first, then follow the early-game walkthrough before branching into spell combos or alchemy. Orb of Creation rewards active keyboard play: duplicate conjures across bar slots, buy capacity upgrades whenever a resource bar fills, and resist spreading effort across five resources at once. The guides below walk through the first hours in order so you snowball instead of stalling behind invisible cap walls.
Core Systems
Resources & Capacity
Every resource in Orb of Creation has a maximum capacity determined by Workshop upgrades, Magic trees, research books, artifacts, and later alchemy. When a bar fills, further conjuring produces nothing—capacity is the primary progression gate from the first hour through endgame. Mental resources like Knowledge and Memory gate research; magic resources like Mana, Energy, and Space underpin every spell and augment.
Spells & Loadouts
Conjuration spells generate resources on each keypress. Augmentation spells toggle persistent buffs that drain mana or energy while active. Combat spells clear ritual gates and enemy types. Tags like Conjure, Augment, Quick, and Small define which buffs amplify which spells—planning your nine-slot spell bar like a loadout matters more than unlocking every spell once.
Alchemy & Transmutation
In Orb of Creation 1.0, alchemy unlocks mid-game once you meet Magic and research prerequisites. The equivalent-exchange design lets you convert materials between types—transmutation scales resource pipelines, herbalism ties planting to harvest, brewing produces potions and oils, and mutagens grant permanent ramping buffs. Automate water through transmutation as a priority; manual water conjuring stalls brewing and potion progress for hours. v1.0.3 added cheaper discovery paths, and v1.0.4 introduced another discovery option.
Rituals & Combat Gates
Rituals are timed combat encounters that gate Magic upgrades and exclusive rewards. Entering a ritual without a combat loadout wastes cooldown timers; ignoring rituals blocks alchemy and Magic progression you need mid-run. Convert Blaze mana management, Firebolt damage, and QWER potion timing are the core skills—swap loadouts before entering and drink potions before channeling.
Research & Thaumaturgy
Research books are milestones purchased with Knowledge, unlocking major systems as you progress. In 1.0, Expert research paths offer unique payoffs worth planning toward. Discoveries are randomized, so a focused purchase order matters more than grabbing every visible upgrade. Flow and Control Magic remain central but now integrate with 1.0's softer gates and prerequisites.
World, Agromancy & Druidry
Orb of Creation 1.0 added Agromancy under the World tab: plant Oak Trees for wood, fuel growth with Verdant Energy from Conjure Life, harvest with Construct generating Skill, then unlock Druidry with 50 wood and 1,000 knowledge. v1.0.3 halved plant growth times; v1.0.4 halved recovery for advanced plants. Vigor is the priority early Druidry upgrade.
Items, Equipment & Harvest
Artifacts provide unique synergies that reshape builds. Equipment slots hold staves and gear sets with tag-specific bonuses. Crafting materials feed workshop production, and potions bound to QWER slots enable burst windows during rituals. Harvest integration through herbalism connects farming loops to transmutation pipelines at scale.
Stuck? Solve Common Progression Walls
Most Orb of Creation stalls come from a handful of predictable causes: full resource bars, skipped capacity upgrades, ritual attempts before minimum spell levels, or augments draining more mana than you regenerate. The problems below match what players ask on Discord and Steam daily—each links to a focused guide rather than a generic tips list.
Resource bar full, cannot buy upgrades
Click the resource icon to inspect every capacity source, then buy the cheapest cap increase before leveling spells further. Casting conjures into a full bar generates zero progress and is the number-one early stall.
fix stuck progression from low capsAgromancy confusing or growth feels too slow
Unlock Conjure Life and Construct first. Buy Druidry Vigor for Verdant Energy capacity. v1.0.3 halved growth times—update to v1.0.4 for further recovery buffs. See the Agromancy guide for plot and harvest workflow.
Agromancy and Druidry guideCannot unlock Flow, alchemy, or second aspect
Follow the mid-game walkthrough milestone order and verify research book purchases. In 1.0, soft gates let you use content early at higher cost—check if prerequisites are soft rather than hard blocks.
unlock Flow and alchemy guideRitual combat progress frozen or failing
Swap to a combat loadout before entering rituals. Bind mana potions to Q, cast Convert Blaze at reduced level, drink before channeling, and use Solar Flare or Lightning Spear with cooldown augments.
beat ritual combat reliablySpell combos and modifiers feel weak or confusing
Match augment tags to the spells they amplify on your bar. Duplicate conjures early for output; duplicate critical augments late for refresh swaps. Modifier math is additive—stacking the wrong tags wastes slots.

Community-tested loadouts for each game phase, from starter conjure duplication through ritual combat setups and endgame permanent augment chains. Tier lists rank spells, aspects, upgrades, and alchemy recipes by impact—check patch notes because v1.0.3 and v1.0.4 rebalanced Agromancy, attributes, and rituals.
