Costumes Added to the Rainbow Crystal Shop
Added Dark Cacao Cookie's Dusk of Silence and Mystic Flour Cookie's Morning Dew of Apathy to the Rainbow Crystal Shop.
Town Square Shop Items
Added the Catacombs Lantern II Bell of Glory Item to the Town Square Shop. This item may randomly appear in existing Bell of Glory Item slots, and activates a Hot Time effect that reduces the amount of materials required for Sugar Gnome Laboratory research by 20%.
Town Square Time Rewards Improvements
Buff Time Rewards obtained every 5 min while in the Town Square are doubled. The maximum reward amount remains unchanged, while the time required to earn all rewards has been reduced from 2 hr to 1 hr under normal conditions. The Town Square Time Booster buff obtained by participating in Town Square Games now provides +10 min as opposed to +5 min.
Changes to Arena Grandmaster 3 and Elite 1 Requirements
The requirements for reaching certain Kingdom Arena tiers are being adjusted to make progression goals for higher tiers clearer. Grandmaster 3: top 0.5% of Master with 3,000 Trophies → top 1,500 overall with 3,000 Trophies. Elite 1: top 1% of Master → top 2% of Master. The requirements for reaching Grandmaster 1 and 2 remain unchanged, and the new requirements apply to Arena Seasons beginning after the update.
Arena Fast-Forward Improvements
The fast-forwarding condition in the Kingdom Arena has been adjusted: it is now based on your current highest achieved Tier.
Kingdom Optimization Improvements
The Resolution option in the Settings menu has been optimized to reduce device overheating, though slight pixel differences may occur on some high-end devices. A new Simple Buildings option has been added to the Settings menu, which displays the animations of some Kingdom buildings as static images to reduce memory usage for smoother gameplay — it is enabled by default on iOS devices with 4GB RAM or less and Android devices with 3GB RAM or less, and can be changed in the Settings.
Cookie Hire-Out: Info Button
Added a button to the Hire Out Your Cookie menu that lets you check the currently registered Cookie's info — its equipped Beascuit, Toppings, Topping Tarts, and more.

The probability of obtaining an Epic Topping Tart when using Common or Rare crafting is increased: Common 0.3% → 1% and Rare 3% → 10%, with the chance to get a Common or Rare Topping Tart diminishing accordingly.
CRIT% Value Display
The way CRIT% values are displayed for Toppings and Topping Tarts is improved: values now show one decimal place instead of two.
Great Sage's Gem Balance Adjustments
Some effects of Great Sage's Gem have been increased. Team DMG Resist at the start of battle: +15% → +25%. ATK upon activating Immortality: +20% → +35%. DMG Resist upon activating Immortality: +15% → +30%.
