Sidequest Update - October 13, 2026

Mother Spindle

  • The third Oozefest boss, Mother Spindle, arrives on Wednesday, October 14 at 12:00 AM Eastern and stays until October 19.

  • She has 325,000 health, twice as much as Gourdon and the Bone Broker combined, so bring everyone.

Boss Remains

  • When a boss falls, it now leaves its remains behind until the next boss arrives.

  • The Attack button becomes Rummage. Rummaging uses your daily boss swings, including the bonus swings from the Battle Stew and from finishing Today's Challenges.

  • Each rummage has a chance to turn up something from that boss's own loot table, and a small chance at an Ooze Core.

  • Rummaging does no damage and pays no Ooze, Ectoplasm, or pass XP. Kill rings and the Top 10 are only for the real fight.

  • About one rummage in ten turns up a surprise...

  • The Battle Stew no longer warns you about wasting it while there are remains to rummage. Candy still warns, since Sugar Rush only adds damage.

  • Two new achievements: Grave Robber (your first rummage) and Scavenger (50 rummages).

Tooltips

  • Creatures and bosses now have hover tooltips, like items.

    • Creatures show their animation, family, level range, where they live, their top drops, and the Gold they carry.

    • Bosses show their status (Upcoming, Live, Fallen, or Escaped), health bar, dates, and story.

  • Any link to an item, creature, or boss page gets its tooltip automatically, anywhere on the site, including articles, guides, comments, and threads.

  • Items you can trade now show Cheapest listed, Last sold, and the 7-day average from the Marketplace in their tooltip.

Sidequest BBCode

  • You can now link Sidequest things in comments, threads, and messages:

    • sqitem links an item with its icon in its rarity color. Add qty=5 for a stack.

    • sqcreature and sqboss link a creature or a boss.

    • sqitem plus the word "card" shows the whole tooltip in your post. It works for creatures and bosses too.

    • sqloot shows a creature's or boss's full drop table.

    • sqbosscard shows a live boss card: a countdown before the boss arrives, its health as the fight goes on, and how the fight ended.

  • Item, creature, and boss pages have a Copy BBCode button next to the title, so you don't need to remember any of this.

Gear

  • Gear sets now store their gear. When you switch away from a set, its pieces go into the set and stop using bag slots. Switch back and they are equipped again.

    • Taking a piece out of a set needs one free bag slot.

    • A stored piece can't be deleted, traded, listed, or donated until you take it out.

  • You can favourite gear from your gear page now: every slot, bag card, and stored piece has a star.

  • Stats that are true percentages now show a % everywhere (character sheet, tooltips, bag, Marketplace, shops, crafting, and gear compare).

  • Legendary items are orange now, not yellow.

Crafting and Food

  • Recipe scrolls in your bag have a Learn Recipe button.

  • Dish tooltips now say how much energy they restore.

Profiles

  • Your Bestiary progress (how many creatures you have defeated) shows on your profile's Sidequest section and on your new member hover card.

  • Hover cards also show your class, level, and the boss kill rings on your trophy shelf.

Search and Sharing

  • Site search now finds Sidequest items, creatures, bosses, and seasons.

  • Links to items, creatures, and bosses now have proper previews on Discord and social media.

Discord

  • Our Discord bot has three new commands:

    • /item shows any item's tooltip card.

    • /creature shows a creature's level range, home, and drops.

    • /boss shows the current boss, or the next one to arrive.

The Sidequest World

  • Now loads in chunks around you and can stretch far past the town, so new areas can be added over time. More areas coming soon!
