Update 26.3 Overview

Your guide to the gameplay changes in 26.3

Obligatory Legal Notice: As part of the Kabam Creator Program I was given access to a preview build of the update before it went live which is where the below images were taken. As always, values may be changed on the live update.

Introduction

Welcome to 26.3 – home of the next community event and collaboration, another content pass and a couple of new fountains for the store. Let’s get started.

Jumanji Collaboration

The headline feature for 26.3 is the Shop Titans x Jumanji collaboration which comes in the form of a login calendar, a communtiy event and a content pass. I don’t have pictures of the login calendar sadly as it wasn’t running on preview build but I can cover the other two parts.

Jumanji Community Event

The Jumanji community event will run from the 3rd until the 9th of April. Much like the previous community events there are tasks to be done which will earn points towards a grand prize. Let’s look at what this event requires us to do:

Scoring notes:

• You get 1 point per unit of wood used, so if a blueprint used 300 wood for example you’d get 300 points.
• The craft tiers is 5 points per tier of item, so a tier 6 item would give 30 points.
• The clear quest is 3 points per difficulty – extreme quests give 12 points for example.

All the points gained from doing these tasks will advance the community event bar. Below are the prizes that await if we score well enough:

Jumanji Content Pass

Running from the start of the update until the 21st April it’s a Jumanji-themed content pass. To preempt a possible question: no, I do not know the aura effect as these prints weren’t available for crafting.

New Blueprints

Reward Track

Tasks

Reduced Crafting Times

Crafting times have been reduced for nearly all blueprints that are tier 9 and above to give more breathing space for tier 16 timers. Here’s a few before and after examples:

Timewarp Component Increase

To go along with the change in crafting times the amount of components you earn from the later quests was increased. All quest zones from Sunken Temple onwards received a roughly 30% increase to their component drop quantity. The amount of components you can timewarp in Ancient Jungle was also increased, below are the before and after numbers (these numbers are based on a max level Ancient Jungle) :

New Fountains

You can now purchase a research scroll fountain and an ascension shard fountain from the store. This is usually where I’d include nice fancy pictures but hazard a guess what wasn’t available on the preview build. :P

Miscellaneous Changes

The basement now has a new description when you access it to try and clarify that you’re not getting extra capacity, you’re just moving furniture out of sight:

The description for net worth has also been adjusted to make it clear what affects it:

And that about covers it. Go forth and jumanji? Yeah we’ll go with that.

STC / Reiga News

Impackts are currently on hold at the minute. With Kabam changing the pack release system to 1 pack a week we have to try and make some adjustments on our side to support that and it’s also trickier to make time for them. It may be a case of going back to the older format where we didn’t have the fancy item cards but just a screencap with some text as that means not having to wait for fankit assets.

Next month will mark STC’s 6th anniversary (I know right 6 years of writing this stuff.) I’m not 100% certain what we’ll be doing for it yet but do keep an eye on the site. Or don’t, that way we can keep any prizes for ourselves :D
