TheĀ beginningĀ of Santaeās Alpha test on May 12th, was the start of anĀ incredible journey. In the weeks since then, weāve enriched the game withĀ dozens of regular updates and exciting new features.
HereĀ is just a taste of what weāveĀ added to enhanceĀ your experience onĀ Santae:
OnĀ Santae, mystical pets are your adventuring companions. There are plenty to choose from, and many more species on the way! Over the course ofĀ Alpha, we releasedĀ 5 brand new pet speciesĀ for Santarians to befriend. Weāve alsoĀ increasedĀ the amount of pet friends you can add to yourĀ adventure party to 10Ā when you start!
The adorable moth-likeĀ NochturnĀ is ready to join any Santarianās adventuring party as soon as they join the site. Brave adventurers who journey to the Lava Caves of the Flamefall Cascades can find the draconicĀ HarlowinĀ and fearsomeĀ Grusim. The elegantĀ DravaĀ can be found at traveling merchant Vesperaās exclusive shop. And finally, the friendlyĀ QuibbitĀ evolves from its tadpole-like Minimal form.
WhichĀ pet speciesĀ will become your faithfulĀ adventuringĀ companion?
No matterĀ your style, you canĀ customizeĀ your pet companions on Santae with the help of magicalĀ shimmer dust!
We announcedĀ FOUR exciting new pet colorsĀ over the course ofĀ Alpha, with more to come inĀ Beta and beyond. Will your pet let its true colors shine with the beautifulĀ PrismaticĀ shimmer dust? Will it become an adorableĀ Pipsqueak? Will they show class and elegance with aĀ RegalShimmer Dust? Or will you give your pet a taste of retro digital style with the brand-newĀ SynthwaveĀ color?
In the world ofĀ Santae, your pets can adopt enchantingĀ companionsĀ of their own calledĀ Minimals! Choose from dozens of types to find your petāsĀ perfect match.
Santaeās AlphaĀ phase has brought many new exciting types ofĀ MinimalsĀ to join the herd. Which will your pet adopt?
Exciting New Site Features
The world ofĀ SantaeĀ is rich with opportunities to explore, gather, and discover. During the siteāsĀ Alpha phase, weāve unlocked engaging on-siteĀ mini-gamesĀ that bring you and your pets all across the vibrant world ofĀ Santae.
Send your petsĀ GatheringĀ at locations acrossĀ SantaeĀ and they will bring back exciting items to share with you! Your pet might bring you aĀ magical runeĀ from the mysteriousĀ Stormforge Caverns, gather useful plants from theĀ Ancient Grove, or maybe even discover an egg that can hatch into another pet at the volcanic pools ofĀ Ember Springs. You can also direct your pet to pluck rare berries from theĀ Great Berry Tree!
When your pets goĀ FishingĀ at the sunnyĀ Solar SandsĀ ā or in any gathering location acrossĀ SantaeĀ ā thereās no telling what they might find at the other end of the line. You mightĀ reelĀ in a delicious fish, an eel that can join your pet as itsĀ MinimalĀ companion, a piece ofĀ useful equipmentĀ that only needs a small repair, and so much more. MoreĀ discoveriesĀ in the depths of the waters aroundĀ SantaeĀ are sure to come.
If you want toĀ tame wild Minimals, go visitĀ Silvershadeās RanchĀ in the Lani Archipelago! They will send you out into the wild toĀ catch and tame a MinimalĀ through an interactiveĀ HerdingĀ mini-game. Bring berries, toys, and plushies to tempt and distract theĀ MinimalĀ as you and your pet cooperate to befriend it.
Santaeās sunny daysĀ andĀ mysterious nightsĀ each hold their ownĀ mysteriesĀ to explore, watch as the clouds move while you play, and every hour on the hour you can watch the transition to day/night. As the world cycles between states every hour, you and your pets have the chance to makeĀ exciting new discoveries!
Visiting theĀ Lava CavesĀ in the dark of night will bring you face to face with the opportunity to tame a fearsomeĀ GrusimĀ ā but during the light of day, theĀ GrusimĀ retreats. While the sun shines over theĀ Lava Caves, you can instead bring yourĀ Harlowin eggĀ there to hatch into a new companion.
The most important ingredient in the world of Santae is you: The community!
Over the course ofĀ THREEĀ exciting events, ourĀ Alpha TestersĀ have been able to participate in and shape the future of the gameās world. Together, weāve discovered newĀ Minimals, locations, and even new pet species.
Mysterious slug-likeĀ MinimalsĀ swarmed Gathering locations all acrossĀ Santae, prompting adventurers everywhere to collect them in an attempt to learn more.
By collecting theĀ GooppersĀ and discovering their source, Santarians discovered a brand-new location:Ā The Goopper Grotto. This tranquil forest clearing holds an amazing secret: When you bring a Goopper there alongside certain powerfully magical items, theĀ Minimal will transform!
By following the traces of anĀ ancient legend, adventurers learned of aĀ mythical creatureĀ lurking deep within theĀ Lava Caves.
Together, Santarians discoveredĀ sanDust:Ā A secondary currency earned throughĀ site activities. This magical dust proved to be the secret toĀ calmingĀ the ferocious ancient beast within the caves. By working together to collect sanDust, theĀ communityĀ unlocked the ability toĀ tame and adopt the Grusim for everyone!
When Santarians began to discoverĀ mysterious eggsĀ around the site, theyĀ banded togetherĀ to collect them and learn more about them.Ā Together, we learned how to hatchĀ Quibbspawn eggsĀ into a brand-new Minimal:Ā The Quibblet!
But theĀ QuibbletĀ was no ordinary Minimal. MoreĀ ancient cluesĀ pointed the community towards a newly-discovered location,Ā Quibbit Cove. It was there that the true secret of theĀ QuibbletĀ was revealed: Feeding it in the cove causes it toĀ evolve into a fully-fledged pet, the Quibbit!
ThanksĀ to the communityās efforts ofĀ research and discovery, the location ofĀ Quibbit CoveĀ and the secret ofĀ QuibbletĀ evolution are now unlocked for everyone.
