Adventurers, we’re ringing in Lunar New Year with a brand-new A.A.R.C. Realm, bringing a fresh limited-time space to explore and plenty of reasons to jump back through the portal. This week also comes with a big first: Starter Pets can now appear in the A.A.R.C., including Zippu, Wispen, Seafang, and Pyrosaur, so keep your eyes open while you’re hunting. Be sure to gather all the Wild Pets and resources you want before the portal closes Sunday at 11:59 pm ET.
On top of that, World Level 11 is here, raising the ceiling for your journey and improving your chances at snagging better Quality Epic Pets as you climb.
The update is planned to go live at 9:00 am ET, Saturday, February 21st, pending review. Please see detailed patch notes below, and thanks for your support!
Gameplay
Highlights
NEW! A.A.R.C. Lunar New Year Realm. Our Admin Abuse portal returns this weekend with a new location! Travel to the Lunar New Year Realm and get a lucky chance to capture all the previous rare spawn A.A.R.C. Wild Pets and Starter Pets, battle boss-type enemies, and farm special Tycoon Crystals designed to help you advance faster. Admin Abuse will start promptly at 12 pm ET.
NEW! A.A.R.C. Secret Pet Fight. Fight the “???” Turnipa and get a chance to capture one of the Secret Pet companions, Charbun, Luma, or Zippa! Good luck - this Turnipa hits hard!
NEW! World Level 11. We’ve added a new World Level for you to challenge and capture Epic Pets with better Quality rolls.
Combat
Added a new location: A.A.R.C. Lunar New Year Realm.
We’re doing an overhaul on the balance of regional Pets to ease the bridge into the A.A.R.C. for new and existing players. Note all balance changes will apply retroactively to Pets you have already collected and should be reflected in their stats once the update is live.
Increased the stats of Starter pets by 30%, Regional Pets by 50%, and we normalized Fire A.A.R.C. Pets to normalize with the Pets from Nature A.A.R.C. and Valentine’s A.A.R.C.
Increased the health of bosses in every region to compensate for the Pet buffs. So the difficulty should be similar if you are fighting them with Regional pets, but harder if you were fighting them with A.A.R.C. pets.
Lowered all enemy Wild Pets ATK by 30%, excluding boss-types and secret-types.
Lowered all regional enemy Wild Pets Base HP by 20%, excluding boss-types and secret-types. A.A.R.C. Wild Pets remain unchanged and will still be more challenging engagements. We will continue to monitor their difficulty relative to other content.
Tycoon
Added World Level 11.
A.A.R.C.
Admin Abuse “Shard Rain” now lasts for a longer duration.
Admin Abuse “Shard Rain” & “Super Spawns” art has been updated to celebrate Lunar New Year.
Admin Abuse “Super Spawns” now spawn Starter Pets.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a critical bug where save data could fail to load correctly, but players would be able to continue playing while saving was disabled, thereby losing progress. You will now be kicked from session if this happens and receive a warning if the kick fails.
Fixed a bug where Froselle’s profile image was an incorrect color.
Fixed a bug where the notation board said Mo instead of No for Nonillions.
Fixed a bug where Siphon was showing an incorrect VFX.
Fixed a bug where Quests for “Defeat Pet(s)” did not properly advance when you completed the requirements.
Fixed a bug where Region 3 Quests were not providing the correct Food.
Fixed a bug causing Surge Overload Damage to deal WAY more damage than intended.
Please report all issues you notice in this A.A.R.C. test, even if you reported them in the last one.
Game Version 1.003.004. February 21, 2026.
