Version 1.1 went live on 23 September with a long list of changes that never made the patch notes. Several Aniimo kits play differently, two Held Items work differently, Home costs moved, friend exchanges follow new written rules and several wild spawns relocated. This roundup lists the ones you will notice, with the numbers.
The announced side of the update, from the maintenance window to the event dates, is in our September 23 update guide. The first look at the new files, with the Illusory Egg Heist gear and the Irisalis costs, is in the September 23 datamine.

Combat kits and Held Items
The tooltips for these read the same as before. The behaviour behind them changed.
| Kit or item | What changed in 1.1 |
|---|---|
| Ignitis, Dark Soul | Hits every enemy within 2.5 m of where Ignitis lands. It used to hit one target in a 95° cone |
| Sherro, Thunder Slam | Absorbing water now also grants Torrent Slam, +15% Damage Amp for 20 seconds |
| Lunara and Fennelun, Silver Moon Mark | Stacks stay until you spend them. They used to vanish 3 seconds after combat ended |
| Budclaw, Shrubclaw, Geoclaw, Tubster and Nimbi | Basic attacks no longer restore EP on hit |
| Sherro, water basic after Torrent Blade | No longer restores 3 EP per hit |
| Sparkelf | Basic fireballs fly 50% faster; Spark Energy roots Sparkelf while you aim, with a 0° to 50° aim range |
| Capacitous Battery | Refunds 10% of the Ultimate Points spent on ultimates over 50 UP: 20 UP on 200-UP ultimates |
| Marching Flask, Legendary +15 effect | Doubles its 20% EP-restore chance above REGEN Potential 15, down from 30. The tooltip still says 30 |
The Dark Soul change is the biggest. Ignitis still teleports to one target, but the strike now lands on the whole group around it, so a single cast can finish several weakened enemies. The Ignitis build and Sherro build cover both kits.
Capacitous Battery's refund now scales with the cost: the three 200-UP ultimates (Irisalis's Florae Descent, Grizbo's Rock Smash and Pawney's Ironclad Armament) get 20 UP back, and 100-UP ultimates still get 10. The Held Items guide lists every effect.
One announced fix belongs next to these: Blazen's Overcharged lock on Ultimate Points now applies only while Blazen is on the field, so switching out restores UP gain.
Irisalis extras beyond the notice
The notice covers the Irisalis event dates. These details come with it:
- Memory: The Faded Rainbow is a new weekly solo rematch against Irelia, open once you finish the main story quest Rainbow of the Ground. Break the Fire, Grass and Water pillars, win the fight, then claim up to two chests a week at 50 Primegy each. Each chest pays 250 Safaris, 20 Windborn Stamps, 50,000 Credits and 3 Irisalis Petals, up from 2.
- Blessing Gifts, the stage where you craft the seasonal Legendary Aniipod: Windchase Departure, opens as soon as you craft the Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis. It has no calendar date.
- The Windchase Departure pod can be twined into a Hatchinator hatch. The hatched Aniimo gets Perfect Potential, Sparkling Form and the season's exclusive Sparkling effect.
- The Floral Rainbow Feather, a new Irisalis Bonded Held Item, costs 30 Irisalis Petals in the Legendary Journey Shop after your first Irisalis pod craft. Summoned clones deal 30% more damage with it.
- The same shop sells the Breezy Mission Letter for 428 Glimmer, 5 a week. Each letter's guaranteed Irisalis Flower opens into 5 Petals.
The Irisalis unlock guide walks through the full route, including the new Soothe step in Rift Exploration: Irisalis.
Home: cheaper decorations, longer meals, bigger blueprints
| Change | Before | After 1.1 |
|---|---|---|
| Tilling Chest at friends' Homes | 10 tills | 15 tills, 1 chest a day |
| Shared blueprint cap | 100 pieces | 500 pieces |
| Garden Gate and Pawprint Swing | 415 Bud Tickets | 346 Bud Tickets, still 415 Habitability |
| Premium Rose Freshener | Perfumery Lv 2 | Artisanship Lv 2 |
| Clearing the 36 Season Tile clutter pieces | 16,400 Wood Block and 5,100 Mineral Sand in total | 10 Moonray Wheat each, 360 in total |
Premium dishes also keep workers fed far longer:
| Dish | Food value before | Food value after |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Bread | 8,910 | 26,740 |
| Premium Potato Soup | 7,040 | 23,470 |
| Premium Jello | 12,810 | 47,440 |
| Premium Berry Chocolate Coconut Pudding | 37,910 | 142,560 |
The pudding is now the most filling dish in the game. Premium Bread and Premium Potato Soup used to feed less than plain Bread and Creamy Potato Soup; they now match them.
The Simmering Pot and Woodworking Bench now take a 2x2 footprint, and the RV Lv 16 and Lv 17 rewards are renamed Homebuilding Hours and Star Stream. The announced RV change is the headline one: RV Lv 15 and Lv 18 each add a guaranteed Prismana Egg. The Home priorities guide plans the full RV ladder.
Friends: the exchange rules finally match the game
The Aniimo Exchange rules screen was rewritten. The limits behind it did not change, but the old text sat one Affinity Level too low and promised a random Acquired Potential gain that never happened.
| Affinity Level | What you can exchange | Highest Acquired Potential per stat |
|---|---|---|
| 2 Good Friend | Common Aniimo, Lumin Stage, Basic Form | 8 |
| 3 Close Friend | Common Aniimo, Basic Form, any stage | 8 |
| 4 Trusted Friend | Common and Umbral Aniimo, Region and Weather Forms | 9 |
| 5 Best Friend | Same as Level 4 | 10 |
| 6 Soulmate | Same as Level 4 | 10 |
- You can make 5 exchanges a day. Each costs 1,000 Credits, plus 150 Voxel Coin if either Aniimo has Perfect Potential, and leaves you 5 Growth Bud.
- An exchanged Aniimo cannot be exchanged again for 30 days.
- Prismana Form Aniimo and seven species cannot be exchanged: Helion, Soleon, Lunara, Fennelun, Besauce, Somniwing and Irisalis.
- You can hold one Illusory Aniimo per Illusory Friend. Making a second one with the same friend removes the Illusory state from the first, after a confirmation prompt.
- Close Friends (Level 3) unlock Travel Perks and Team-Up Perks, which auto-accept that friend's world-join and team requests if you do not respond in time.
The trading guide has the full exchange walkthrough.
World and spawns
- Three Nurture sites moved: Nimbus Fields by 168 m, Mistwoods by 248 m and The Argent Strait by 72 m. The Prismana habitat points moved with them.
- A new Nimbi camp in Nimbus Fields adds 12 Nimbi, 6 Rainstorm Form Nimbi that appear in rain, snow or thunder, and a Celestis. The nearby Lunar Daisy patch grows from 5 to 8.
- Popota and two Susuta moved into Echoback Landing, so plain Popota and Susuta no longer spawn in Berylline Vale.
- All 10 wild Wisptis (Forest Form) spawns in Mistwoods now appear only at night, 20:00 to 06:00.
- The Berylline Causeway Baleetle camp shrinks from 8 to 5 and moves 84 m north-east.
- Five Mistwoods chests are now owner-only Basic chests that pay 5 Glimmer, 5,000 Credits and 5 Sparkling Crystal each. Three of them used to be Standard chests worth twice that plus a Rare Held Item.
- 26 story, Blessed and challenge encounters lost their 1-in-20,000 Sparkling roll.
The announced world change is the Wild Surge window, which runs 180 seconds instead of 120. The Nurture guide and the interactive map cover the sites.
Chaos Challenge and Egg Heist
Chaos Egg Heist is now Chaos Challenge. The recommended loadout drops from Legendary to Epic, and each entry costs one Chaos Ticket. The Gilded Key on the difficulty screen opens locked Key Rooms during a run. Elite Egg Seeker IV players can buy up to 20 Chaos Tickets a day. The first costs 20,000 Eggshell Coins, and later tickets cost more, up to 400,000 each.
- The 24 Chaos collectible variants (Chaos Evercrystal Egg, Chaos Prismatic Iris, Chaos Butterfly Dream Amber and Chaos Dragonflame Horn, in 1-, 2- and 3-tag versions) were deleted from the item list.
- The Egg Heist Shop's Hot tab adds a Mystery Egg Box for 500,000 Eggshell Coins, 30 a week, for Egg Heist Master players. The price rises to 800,000 from the 10th purchase and 1,000,000 from the 20th.
- Team Mode hallways gain breakable gates that take three hits.
- Pro Egg Snatcher and Elite Egg Seeker now say 5 chests a day. The limit was always 5; the text used to say 6.
The Egg Heist guide has the full difficulty ladder.
Compensation and smaller changes
The maintenance compensation is 1,000 Glimmer (500 for the maintenance and 500 because the servers reopened late) plus 1 [[item:sparkling-cube|Sparkling Cube]], sent in two mails. The Glimmer goes to accounts registered before 1.1.
- Glamour Star: Floral Soirée milestones drop from 300, 400, 500 and 600 points to 260, 360, 460 and 560, with the same rewards.
- The Test of Strength rematch against Instructor Lita in Elite Training now requires the main quest Assessment: Starlight's Witness.
- The Bubble Gachapon decoration now unlocks at the Home story step "Go check out Fannie's surprise" instead of at RV Lv 14. It still costs 300 Bud Tickets.
- The Floral Moon Record Player from the Fragrant Moonlight Set now counts toward the Home Handbook for 40 points.
