How rebirthing works
Summary
When you meet the rebirth conditions, you start a new life and gain access to stronger items and content. The more spare cash you carry into a rebirth, the more lives you can skip in one go. Helping another player through their very first rebirth earns you the Passer of Knowledge badge. Up to six players can share a room.

Forging moves up through rarity tiers: a legendary enchanted item earns the Enchanted badge, and a godly Superstitious-tier item — forged with the thunder god Draedon's help — earns the Superstitious badge. Obtaining the Final Upgrader earns the Hero badge, and picking up a Slipstream item unlocks the Slipstream badge.
