Adventurers, we’re opening up the second part of Region 3 and bringing back the Fire Realm A.A.R.C. for a second public test (please excuse any bugs, we are still improving the tooling). The update is planned to go live at 9:00 am ET, Saturday, January 24th, pending review. 

Please see detailed patch notes below.

Gameplay

Highlights

  • NEW! Region 3: Battle for the Ankh. Challenge Anubis, find a new Secret Pet, and finish your journey through the Pyramid in the second half of this Region.

  • A.A.R.C. Returns. Our Admin Abuse portal returns this weekend for another public test. Travel to the Fire Realm to capture limited availability Wild Pets, battle Bosses, and farm Tycoon Crystals that are +1 to your maximum progress. Admin Abuse will start promptly at 12 pm ET, but will not be fully functional this week. There will be more improvements on our next update.

  • Region 3 Tycoon Optimization. We made a few mistakes with Region 3’s progression on the Tycoon side. Now we’re looking to set it right by lowering area unlock costs, making Crystals easier to break, fixing an error with how Overharvest calculates, and significantly buffing Auto Gather (from Rebirth).

Combat

  • A.A.R.C. Improvements. We’ve made several improvements to the A.A.R.C., including a new user interface in-world for timers related to the Elite, Apex, and Secret Pets.

  • New Wild Pets. There are several new Wild Pets to collect in Region 3, including Water Pets and a Secret Pet hidden somewhere in the Pyramid.

  • Better Prize Wheel Odds! We’ve raised the odds of winning better loot across the board, which should make farming for Dust a lot more fun in boss-type battles.

Tycoon

  • Region 3: Cost Optimization. We've adjusted the Area costs in Region 3 as follows:

    • Area 1 cost remains at 5.00Sx

    • Area 2 cost set to 20Sp (down from 100Sp)

    • Area 3 cost set to 400Sp (down from 200Oc)

    • Area 4 cost set to 75Oc

    • We will continue to monitor player progression through these Areas and make further improvements as necessary.

  • Region 3: Crystal Optimization. We've adjusted the Crystal HP in Region 3 as follows:

    • Area 2, 3-star Crystal: 1.60Sp → 250Sx

    • Area 3, 5-star Crystal: 200Sp → 40.0Sp

    • Area 4, 7-star Crystal: 120Oc → 20Oc

    • Crystal Break Bonus is one of the best ways to earn Shards in Super Pet World, so we’re lowering the HP on several Crystals to help players take advantage of Overharvest more easily and progress at a faster rate.

  • Auto-Gather Buff. Auto Gather has been significantly improved and now takes into account Strength bonuses from Rebirth, Area Unlock, and Codex. You should see a substantial increase in your Shard collection from this Rebirth Skill.

Other

  • Siphon has a new SFX.

  • Updated island code graphic on the HUD.

  • Normalized audio db for several Combat Skills.

  • Added additional safeguards for protecting player save data in persistence.

Bug Fixes

General

  • Overharvest was accidentally calculating incorrectly (doing more than 100x the damage to Crystals than we intended). We’re bringing it back to what it should be by fixing the error so we don’t have trouble adding future Regions. In the coming weeks, we’ll be sure to monitor progression and make further adjustments, if necessary, to ensure Overharvest still feels fun to play with.

  • Fixed a bug where Holy VFX fired with incorrect alignment.

  • Fixed LOTS of bugs related to the A.A.R.C. and Admin Abuse from its last public test (too many to list).

  • Please report all issues you notice in this A.A.R.C. test, even if you reported them in the last one. Once we have a stable test, the A.A.R.C. will start to rotate to new locations weekly!

Game Version 1.002.003. January 24, 2026.

We discovered a critical bug where your Tycoon gather rate was significantly lowered on accident. We are working to deploy a hotfix immediately. Thanks for your patience!

We've patched an issue where Power Bash, Lattice Smasher, and Critical Strikes were hitting for significantly reduced damage. We are working on a fix to Overharvest, which is also incorrectly calculating, and will update here when that is live.
