Pets now grow stronger than ever, with Champion Levels expanding beyond the old cap.
Champion Level Requirements:

New Item – Delicious Treat:

Changes:

While currently cosmetic, the improved system hints at possible stat-based bonuses in the future.
New Player Complaint System – Fighting Bots and Unfair Play
Players now have in-game tools to report cheating or disruptive behavior.
Requirements:

Reportable offenses:

This empowers players to maintain a cleaner, fairer game environment without relying solely on external support.

Making the Most of Update 25.1
If you want to hit the ground running after this update, here’s how to adapt quickly and take full advantage of the new systems:
- Prioritize farming on Yohara — it’s the only place you can earn Champion EXP for pets, and it’s also rich in the new materials you’ll need for Stage 4 and Stage 5 advancements.
- Stock up on high-quality pet eggs early — the best potential skills will become harder to find once more players start hunting for them. Having a good selection ready means you can slot in the most powerful bonuses the moment you unlock each skill slot.
- Unlock the Complaint System ASAP — completing the Biologist’s Quest at level 30 gives you the ability to report bots and suspicious activity, helping keep the game environment cleaner.
- Plan your pet’s build — decide in advance whether you want a PvE farming powerhouse or a PvP duelist, and choose your potential skills accordingly.
