The September 30 and October 15 updates came without downtime: restart the client to download them. Each gave 100 Glimmer to Pathfinders who registered before the version 1.1 update.

What did the October 17 patch change?

• Companion Handbook EXP boost: a limited-time multiplier on Companion Handbook EXP while your handbook is below level 70. It starts October 19 at 04:00 server time. No end date was given.
• Fixed severe menu lag on console, offset Aniimo nicknames in Operation: Egg Heist on console, and broken icons in some menus.
• Tiered Grand Gifts Stage 4 rewards couldn’t be claimed. Pawprint temporarily disabled them, then listed the problem as fixed.

What did the October 15 update add?

The Home Season entered a boost period: Moondew Radish and Waxing Moon Pepper mutate more often, and products made from them earn more Harvest Moon Points. Stage 3, Harvest Gathering, lets you host or join gatherings for rewards:

Server	Harvest Gathering opens
Aniimo-Europe	Oct 20, 20:00 UTC+0
Aniimo-Americas	Oct 20, 16:00 UTC-4
Aniimo-Apac	Oct 21, 04:00 UTC+8

The bat-themed Batlock Holmes outfit set went on sale in Shop > Recommended on October 16 at 10:00 server time.

Area	Fixes
Outfits	Forest of Butterfly Dreams skirt clipping; Gilded Bough Dewpearls ignoring skin tone
Home	Furniture Store quantity jumping back to 1; new controller Select All for batch acceleration
Egg Heist	Key doors staying shut after the key was used
Other	Elite Training lag; missing sparkelf statue in Horizon Square
Console	Crashes in Holo-Battle Sim, Holo-Battle Interlink and NPC duels; slow loading; out-of-order chat; controller focus that could spend rare items such as Sparkling Sigil on the wrong Aniimo

What changed on September 29 and 30?

The September 29 patch listed 14 fixes, and the September 30 notes repeat most of them and add more.

Area	Changes
Aniimo and combat	Blurry textures on Irisalis transmog styles, Grizbo, Luminelle and Sherro; failed Alpha catches; Aniimo sinking into the ground; Irisalis transmog presets raised from 3 to 5
Operation: Egg Heist	New enemy Erlath with group support abilities; more Stellarys Starine drops on Chaos; missing Sanctum entrances
Quests	Early “Come to My World” party joins blocking progress; blockers in Family Reunion, Russet Highlands, Mistwoods and A New Journey
Home	Lower Harvest Moon Point requirements; furniture and order fixes
Interface	Teleports loading the wrong scene (fix it with the green interaction point at an Outpost); chest markers with unclaimable rewards
Console	PlayStation Album stutter; three achievements that couldn’t unlock

The shop added the limited Forest of Butterfly Dreams appearance and the Frostburst Punk set for 680 Lumin Crystals.

What came with the September 22-23 maintenance?

This update brought the global mobile launch. Maintenance was scheduled for September 22 16:00 to September 23 02:00 UTC on Europe, 12:00-22:00 UTC-4 on Americas and September 23 00:00-10:00 UTC+8 on Apac. Pawprint promised 1,000 Glimmer (half for the maintenance, half for the delayed launch) plus 1 Sparkling Cube for a known issue, by in-game mail once the mailbox was restored.

• Irisalis: the Windchaser’s Departure stage runs until December 9 (Europe and Americas) or December 10 (Apac). Iris Petals, from a new weekly-limited source, craft the Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis, then the Windchaser’s Departure Aniipod, which guarantees a catch with Perfect Innate Potential in Sparkling Form.
• Holo-Battle Interlink: a weekly Alpha challenge for 4 players or AI teammates, open Thursday 04:00 to Monday 03:59, from Trailblazer I.
• Egg Heist Chaos Mode: the top difficulty, from Tier IV Elite Egg Seeker. It needs a Chaos Ticket to enter and has higher Prismana egg drop rates.
• Quality of life: a Pathfinder Voice volume option, Companion invites without meeting face-to-face, shared rare gathers in Companion mode, Blooms lasting 3 minutes instead of 2, and fixes for red tinting, GPU blackouts and reconnect loops.

The Journey Chronicles login event from this update runs until October 29 at 03:59 server time.

What did the launch-week patches fix?

• Sept 16: repeated disconnects during client lag, abnormal damage numbers, Xbox and Xbox PC purchases not arriving, and text layout errors in several languages.
• Sept 18: the red screen bug, red eyes on some graphics cards, and a blocked story quest. Chat Auto Voice is now off by default.
• Sept 19: Aniimo failing to Revive in a Sanctum, catch results not processing, wrong Bond Egg hatching conditions, and NPCs vanishing during interactions.

What is Pawprint working on next?

For version 1.1, per the October 1 Dev Dispatch and October 13 Dev Feedback:

• Switch freely between any Sparkling Hue you’ve unlocked for a Prismana Aniimo, including its original hue.
• Fixed Innate Potential for Irisalis (ATK 10, REGEN 10, HP 5, BREAK 5, M.DEF 5, P.DEF 5); anything above that converts into Starcryst Essence.
• Legendary Aniipods usable on Sparkling Aniimo you already own.
• A damage formula change so raising ATK raises damage more directly.

For Operation: Egg Heist, Pawprint plans easier rescues with rewards for helpers, more Aniimo and Chip sources (including Heal Chips) for Chaos Mode, temporary abilities from Sanctum mechanisms, and more reliable ways to get Season 1 Collectibles, with past Collectibles returning in later events. It aims for major updates each season plus smaller ones every two weeks. A dedicated team is also working on lag and overheating on mobile.

What hasn’t been announced yet?

• A date for version 1.1.
• When Season 1 ends.
• Egg Heist spawn and aggro changes: Pawprint says it hasn’t changed spawn rates and is still investigating player reports.
