Moonstone Island – Ver. ???

  • Release date: July 30th/31st 2025
  • Patch notes:
  • NEW: two new evolutions for Capacibee and Ankylo
  • BUG FIXED: The “Raise Level 32 Spirit“ objective in the evolution quest should be properly marked as completed now! Any player who already has a Level 32 evolvable Spirit will automatically have this objective marked as completed, too
  • BUG FIXED: Zed’s Quest “Spirit Research: Taming Spirits 101” also gets properly marked as completed now
  • BUG FIXED: Entering any festival or Rift party after midnight will no longer result in skipping one day. If you experienced this bug, we have also made sure to re-deliver any mail missing because of the midnight bug!
  • BUG FIXED: spamming “Use“ button when making an offering during the Spring festival no longer removes the wrong item from the inventory
  • BUG FIXED: Replaced a missing Deck Reset Potion sprite. In the future, if an item sprite is missing, a green gem will spawn instead of Dark Matter
  • BUG FIXED: Starting a new save while another save was in progress was carrying over Spirit Research data, preventing Zed’s quest “Spirit Research: Spirit Basics” from being completed. We fixed it! It doesn’t do that any more
  • BUG FIXED: Ribrr’s Poison Surge ability works! It transfers poison properly now
  • BUG FIXED: Evolving Spirits no longer select a card when levelling up if you skipped it
  • CHANGED THING: Disabled the Warp Whistle in the Barn and the Medallion so it can’t break stuff
  • BUG FIXED: The save/load menu now correctly shows the Holo Spirits in your party
  • BUG FIXED: Your Holo Spirits now correctly show up during the Spirit evolution cinematix
  • BUG FIXED: The Holo “shimmer” effect is back!
  • BUG FIXED: The pips around compass should light up properly now

Moonstone Island – Ver. ??? (Evolutions Update)

Here’s what the Evolutions Update gets you:

  • 28 new evolved Spirits
  • A new quest to teach you the basics of evolution
  • A new type of mine – the DEEP MINE

And here’s some of the details of how Spirit evolution works:

  • Once a Spirit reaches level 32, they gain an “evo meter”
  • Winning battles and playing that Spirit’s cards add to the meter
  • Once they reach 1000 evo points, you can use an Evo Stone to evolve them
  • Evo stones can be found on Psychic Islands
  • Evolved Spirits gain:
    • A new ability
    • A new, second elemental type
    • The ability to choose from 4 cards instead of 3 when levelling up
  • Additional notes: none

Moonstone Island – Ver. ??? (Cooking Update)

  • Release date: July 31st 2024 (North America, Europe) / August 1st 2024 (Japan)
  • Patch notes:
New Content
  • The ability to COOK!
  • New crafting stations (prep table, stove, recipe book)
  • Dozens of meals with unique effects
  • New cooking questline (given by Ossono on Spring 16 or a few days after updating for in-progress games)
  • New LORE
  • New cooking-themed decorations
  • Four new spirits: Eleplant (water), Jelbell (psychic), Grampus (ice), and Fangface (dark)
  • New NPC likes/dislikes (spoiler: they’re all meals)
Bugfixes
  • Did you use a broom/fishing rod/warp whistle near a shrine or a warpstone, and accidentally activate it instead of using the item? Not any more! We fixed it
  • Used the correct font for the “purchased” text in other languages
  • You can no longer feed Spirits old boots. Also, don’t do that! Ew!
  • Increased the size of the white circle shown when activating the Ando tree, because you cool dudes with ultra-wide monitors weren’t getting the full effect
  • Magic Man’s house was appearing underneath the swimming pool. He’s mysterious and strange, but not THAT mysterious and strange, so we changed that
  • You can no longer feed Spirits multiple stat reset potions to cause them to gain points somehow. I’m continually impressed by all these cheats but we must fix them, sorry
  • You can no longer feed fish to Spirits in battles. Apparently Fishbo assumed it was a mean intimidation tactic and he got really upset
  • Tobin bought some glow-in-the-dark paint online, and now the fishing bobber lights up at night for easier fishing
  • Restored Magic Man’s missing dialogues – he’s meant to say stuff after you pick up the temple seals!
  • You can no longer steal Zed’s museum of Spirit resources. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU INVENTED STEALING ON A PEACEFUL ISLAND. You monsters.
  • You can’t place furniture in other people’s houses and workplaces any more. I mean, I know Quill’s taste in decor is very “guy who owns a single armchair and a PlayStation 5”, but he has to learn that on his own, k?

And finally, the Delicious Layer Cake, also known as the Chef’s Kiss DLC, is live today. It’s a paid DLC, but it’s decor only!

As a reminder of what it includes:

  • Bakery House Skin
  • Donut Rug
  • Cloche
  • Pot Rack
  • Marble Counter
  • Marble Counter with Sink
