Nearly every drop and boss rebuilt AGAIN: the biggest mid-season patch ever. Crate colors have jobs in supply drops and caves: Blue = saddles, Purple = armor, Yellow = weapons, Red = a random mix, mostly saddles and weapons, sometimes armor (about 1 red in 6 has no gear). Regular land supply drops (white to red beams, bonus crates, Scorched Earth buried chests) give crafted gear, not blueprints. The exceptions: Aberration drops (on Aberration and in the Aberration zone on Valguero) can give blueprints, and from blue up all of their gear is blueprints; yellow drops can also hold a Torch blueprint. CAVES: all gear is blueprints, Journeyman→Mastercraft in blue, purple and yellow caves and Mastercraft→Ascendant in red ones. UNDERWATER caves (Island and Astraeos): all gear is blueprints, Mastercraft→Ascendant, red ones Ascendant→Epic. DEEP-SEA crates: saddles Ascendant→Epic, Flak and guns Mastercraft→Ascendant, and about 2 in 3 of those come as blueprints. Tek from caves and underwater rolls Ramshackle→Ascendant. Most bosses, many missions, orbital drops and a few rare crates can give blueprints too, like the Astraeos Lime beam, Genesis pirate treasure and the Genesis pirate outposts. Tiers are ceilings, so the name you see is often lower; Epic shows as Ascendant in game. Most boss tributes now cost BERRY BUSH SEEDS instead of metal (25/50/100 on most maps, drop-only); the Desert, Forest and Ice Titans and the Kalydonios & Erymanthian summon still take metal. Hard bosses pay 800 to 1,000 Element plus a Boss Jackpot on every kill (all but Shallocis on Astraeos and The Final Test): an Epic or better blueprint (Tek saddle, Tek Rifle/Railgun/Sword, Fabricated Sniper or Rocket Launcher) about 2 kills in 3, else +2,000 Element. The Final Test Hard has no Boss Jackpot; every run gives a Tek blueprint (or an Unassembled Mek) and an apex saddle blueprint, both Epic or better. NEW third currency: Cake Slices, which can drop from white to red supply drops, caves and most bosses → Crafting Skill Potions (10 slices) & Dino Color Tokens (5 slices). Snow Globes now fuel the Propagator. Full PvP dino balance pass (see the Dinos tab). 27,000+ junk items deleted from loot. (Loot details checked against the live servers Oct 1, 2026. The current loot guide is on the Server Info tab.)

The biggest stats update since Cluster Alpha launched. Tribe rosters cleaned: ghost members purged and 63 dead tribes pruned, so a 4-man tribe finally shows 4 names. Expanded tribe cards now show every member's kills, deaths, structures and playtime, and linked players show their Discord name right on the board. Kill tracking got stricter: player kills only (tames no longer count) and deaths to mounted players now log correctly. Expect kills to drop and deaths to rise, that's your REAL K/D. NEW: the Discord casino is live in command-chat: /blackjack, /slots and a FREE daily /spin. Server Boost reward upgraded to 500 credits + 5 Regular Lootboxes + 1 VIP Lootbox, and every lootbox drop table is now published on the Kits tab. Fresh slate for everyone at the Sept 5 wipe.
