The Goopper Awakening, Community Event & QoL Updates!

25 Jun, 2025

Published by: The Santae Team

The Goopper Awakening Begins!

"From shell-bound slimes to legendary power..."

For months, the Goopper Grotto lay silent. The Ancient Runes are still active, still scattered across Santae, most remained untouched. Without their matching companions, there was no way to activate them... until now, they have emerged and in great numbers.


Vespera had traveled to the Grotto to investigate recent magical shifts, and had made a shocking discovery! Tucked behind a layer of moss was a small etching on the inner wall, showing the original Goopper forms and one more she never had seen.

“At first, I thought it was just another variation we hadn’t logged,” she told Allarice. “But… the shape, the symmetry, it doesn’t resemble any Goopper. It’s something older.” “It might be a myth.

Or a mistake. Or… the first of them all.” She calls it the Gastromyth and now, the Grotto hums with magic once more. Further research is needed to uncover this.

Adventurers across Santae have begun to report sightings of new Goopper evolutions emerging deep within the Grotto's mossy depths. Perhaps something even more mysterious will be uncovered.



The Goopper Awakening Event Has Begun!


We need all adventurers across Santae to help us investigate the Grotto’s awakening!

The Ancient Runes have begun responding again and we need your help collecting them.

Each Rune collected helps us uncover more about this long-lost creature and supports the evolution of Goopper companions from across the regions.


Next Update

In our next update we’ll address a recent staff conduct issue and talk about some next steps. Also, we have brought in a new member of Management, they will introduce themselves soon! 



Regarding Chest Items

Knight
Knight's Arsenal Chest
Vault of Shadows Chest
Vault of Shadows Chest

We’d like to address a recent mix-up involving the Vault of Shadows Chest and the Knight’s Arsenal Chest.

Between June 23rd and June 25th, the associated Minimal, Book, Stamp, and Food items for each set were mistakenly included in the reward pools for these chests. These items were not intended to be part of these chest rewards and were added inadvertently during an update.

As of June 25th at 11:45 AM ST, the reward pools for both chests have been corrected. You can always refer to the official breakdown of what's included with each chest here.

If you purchased either chest during this window, please submit a support ticket and we’ll be happy to assist you.

We appreciate your understanding and patience, and we’ll continue working hard to ensure future releases are as smooth and accurate as possible.


QoL Updates


Below is a summary of some of the QoL changes that have been added recently to Santae

  • ★ Inventory 
  • - "Newest Obtained" should now correctly put items to the start of inventory when receiving an item you already own
  • - New "Item Actions" Flag called "Requires Pet". If set to NO then the user does not require a pet to use the item action. If set to YES then it will do the pet check.
  • - FRIENDLY ERROR: If the user doesn't have an available pet and the new flag (above) is set to YES, then a friendly error message "You do not currently have any pets available to use this item with." is shown instead of the popup error "There was a problem processing the request". This will allow people do do things such as open giftboxes while their pet is gathering etc.
  • - Giftboxes: Having multiple giftboxes in your inventory and sending one to someone now correctly sends the selected one to the target user (sometimes had a chance to send the wrong one).
  • ★ Cellar 
  • - Ability to now remove items in bulk quantities
  • - Ability to search for items
  • - Ability to Filter by Item Type
  • - Pagination
  • - Ability to Sort Items

  • ★ Trades 
    • - Now has an internal flag "mixed", "pet only" or "item only" assigned to each trade
    • - Trades - New dropdown filter "All", "Pet Only" or "Item Only" to use that flag so users can filter item-only and pet-only trades.

  • ★ User Profiles 
    - "Add Friend" button added
    • - Pending friend / Already Added tag added
    • - Fix: Habitat now correctly shows day/night on user profile

  • ★ General 
  • - SanSparks now only appear at features that are within guardians keep.
