Gacha Pets Update 8.1

May 26, 2026

Endless Forest Auto Mode
The Endless Forest may now be put on auto mode so that you don't have to manually explore it. On Alexa, it will ask you if you want to enable auto after you select the pets you want to enter the endless forest with. On browser, you may simply hit the auto button to enable auto mode.

The Crucible
Ancient Gifts have been reworked into the new Crucible boss system.

You can now find Boss Keys inside lock boxes. Take these keys to the Crucible to summon powerful bosses. When you defeat a boss, you claim its soul. Boss souls can be exchanged at the Crucible to add unique gifts to your pets.

To add a gift, go to the Crucible, select a pet, and choose Add Gift. Each boss soul grants a different gift.

Bosses can also be challenged at higher difficulties after you defeat them enough times. Higher difficulty bosses can drop multiple souls, making them a faster way to earn gifts once you have mastered a boss.

  • Normal: Available by default. Defeat a boss 25 times on Normal to unlock Hard.
  • Hard: Can drop up to 2 souls. Defeat a boss 25 times on Hard to unlock Elite.
  • Elite: Can drop up to 3 souls and drops 1 additional item. Defeat a boss 50 times on Elite to unlock Heroic.
  • Heroic: Can drop up to 4 souls. Defeat a boss 50 times on Heroic to unlock Ascendant.
  • Ascendant: Can drop up to 5 souls and drops 2 additional items.

The old Ancient Gift system has been removed. Pets that previously had Ancient Gifts have had those gifts converted into boss souls, which have been mailed to you at the Post Office.

The Crucible includes 8 new bosses, each with unique drops. New food and tool recipes have also been added that require materials from these bosses.

Maps
You may now find maps in lock boxes that can quickly "sweep" the endless dungeon and mines. Pets can sweep to levels of the endless dungeon and mines that they've previously reached. There are 4 sizes of maps, small, medium, large and very large. Small can sweep 100 floors, medium can sweep 300 floors, large can sweep 1,200 floors and very large can sweep 6,000 floors.

New Supporter Pets
2 new supporter pets have been added: Slider and Buzzlet. You can find their evolution brands in the Endless Dungeon, Mines and Forest.

Misc. Changes

  • Lock boxes, bait pouches, herb pouches and seed pouches are no longer a rewards from contracts. You may now purchase up to 5 lock boxes from each of the guild vendors each day. 5 Pouches a day may be purchased from the corresponding guild vendor.
  • Beans, rice, ginger, and potatoes now require seeds rather than re-planting the crop itself.
  • Gifts no longer add resilience. You will need to use food, drinks, potions or forge resilience onto your equipment to get resilience.
