Adventurers, this week we're excited to bring you a new, limited time Valentine's Realm inside the A.A.R.C. which will include a new Admin Abuse, special variants of familiar Pets, new Pets, and even a rare chance to battle Zippu. Be sure to gather all the Wild Pets and resources you want before the portal closes Sunday at 11:59 pm ET.
In preparation for future content, we've also added a 5th Strength page to your Signal Remote and rebalanced some of the previous costs.
The update is planned to go live at 9:00 am ET, Saturday, February 14th, pending review. Please see detailed patch notes below, and thanks for your support!
Gameplay
Highlights
NEW! A.A.R.C. Valentine's Realm. Our Admin Abuse portal returns this weekend with a new location! Travel to the Valentine's Realm to capture limited availability Wild 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! Strength Page 5. We've added an entirely new page to the Strength menu in your Signal Remote. This should help end-game players break through barriers and challenge Anubis as we eagerly await Region 4's arrival next month.
Combat
Added new location: A.A.R.C. Valentine's Realm.
Added 10 new Wild Pets to collect and discover in the Codex.
Added 2 new boss-type Pets to battle and discover in the Codex.
Increased the stats for all Starter Pets.
A.A.R.C.
There is a new Admin Abuse that is replacing "Food Rain" from last week. Be sure to participate if you can and let us know what you think!
Admin Abuse "Shard Rain" spawn rates and max spawns increased.
Admin Abuse "Shard Rain" multiplier increased to 4000x-6000x (up from 100x-300x).
Admin Abuse "Gift Box" drop rates optimized for improved loot.
Admin Abuse "Gift Box" now displays Rarity, Tier, and text for Dust and Essence.
Admin Abuse "Gift Box" Food quantities increased.
Tycoon
Added Strength Page 5.
Added exponent names to Jacky's notations board.
Optimized Strength VIII through Strength XIII, Strength XIX, and Strength XX. These should be more affordable for players than before the update. We will continue optimizing Strength costs to improve new player conversion over the coming weeks and help grow the game's community.
General
Censored a few troublesome Pets that increased our rating to "T" for Teen. We will try to lower it again once the remaining offenders have been neutralized. 😅
Magic Shop is now available more widely within the world.
Added more analytics to help track the new player journey.
Return to Village button on the Signal Remote is now disabled in the Tutorial area.
Removed instructions from the new player combat tutorial. We want to test whether new players onboard better with less handholding from us.
Leaderboards for “Lifetime Shards Collected” and “Pet Codex” have been updated. Submit your progress on Discord to compete.
Bug Fixes
Fixed several typos in various Quest dialog.

Fixed a bug where Overharvest's duration upgrade was not resetting on Rebirth under certain conditions for a limited time.
