We’ve made some fixes to address issues that help increase stability and overall quality of the title.

Key Changes (Updates In-Game & Compliance Bugs)

  • The gift of giving 🎁: You can now gift presents to the Villagers!

    • Visit Marj to obtain Sugar and Salt in her Gifting Shop everyday

    • Use them as ingredients to craft gifts for Villagers - you’ll notice each Villager has a favorite gift you can give them 💕

    • Gift crafting recipes will be automatically added to nearby crafting spots

  • Sprite’d away: Sprites were renamed and are now called Blots!

    • We changed the name to make it easier to differentiate Sprites from Spirits, which was causing some initial confusion for new players. 

    • Sprite Charms were also renamed to Blot Bells!

    • We added new rarities and new movement types to make catching Blots more dynamic! Keep an eye out and don’t miss the catch on some Mystery Blots, Bouncing Blots and Roaming Blots!

    • Oh lawd he comin: there was a complete revamp of the Giant Blot Den, which is now back in-game! Legendary giant blots will spawn around the wilderness and move every 15 minutes. Get the band together to catch them!

    • Blots now have an Angst rating which affects how much ink they give and ranks them in Blot catching tournaments.

    • Did anyone say tournament? (Us, we said it). For those looking for some healthy competition, there are two brand new Blot catching tournaments!

  • And speaking of tournaments… We didn’t forget about you fishing fans! 🎣
    Feel like Lunkers are not biting today? Good news: catch the smallest fish to win the Smallest Fish Tournament
