The secret of Quibblet evolution revealed!

Skylar sighed, leaning back against the rail of their boat. Hop was frolicking with a group of other Quibblets in the waters all around, but the researcher still felt no closer to unlocking the secret behind evolving the Minimals into their prismatic final form.

Adventurers from all over Santae had shown Skylar their own Quibblets, and shared all kinds of items gathered from places as hazardous as the Flamefall Cascades and as distant as the towering Celestial Peaks. With the generous donations, Skylar had been able to confirm the Quibblets’ voracious appetites. But something was still missing. Hop chose that moment to distract Skylar from their contemplation by leaping up out of the water to land in the bottom of the boat with a splat.

“Woah!” Skylar laughed. “Someone’s excited. What’s going on, Hop?”

But Hop didn’t pause or listen. It made a beeline for Skylar’s pack, wiggling quickly across the boat. Diving eagerly inside, Hop plucked a huge berry from the pack. The Quibblet stuffed the berry quickly into its mouth, then squirmed right back over the rail and into the water.

“Hop, wait!” Skylar called after it. What had gotten into their little companion?

Night was falling. Skylar could barely see the ripples in the water as Hop swam toward the stream leading to the Quibbit Cove. But then, slowly, Hop’s outline started to look clearer and clearer.

Skylar looked on in astonishment. Hop was glowing!

They leaped out of the boat and ran to follow Hop into the Cove.

Inside Quibbit Cove, Hop nestled itself in the most comfortable part of the pool. Its strange glow reflected across the shimmering water, the walls, and the eyes of the Quibbits and Quibblets watching from their perches in the nooks and crannies of the cave.

Skylar took in the scene in front of them with wonder. “Hop!” they exclaimed. “Are you trying to evolve?”

As if in reply, Hop threw back its head to finish swallowing the berry it had snatched before. Then it flapped its fins at Skylar, letting out an imploring squeak.

“Still hungry…” Skylar muttered. They pulled yet another berry from their bag and tossed it towards the center of the pool. Hop bounced up to eat it right out of the air. The strange glow under Hop’s skin grew brighter – then even brighter! Something was happening!

“That’s the secret!” Skylar cried, watching with a huge grin. “You needed a lot of food to help you grow up. But it wouldn’t work until you came here to Quibbit Cove!”

The glow grew into a blinding flash – and when the light faded, Skylar could see that Hop had transformed!

Hop let out a delighted croak and fluttered its new wings experimentally. It lifted up into the air, only a little wobbly, and began to fly back to Skylar.

“Hop, you’re amazing!” Skylar threw their arms open to catch Hop in a hug as the newly-evolved Quibbit flew towards them. They spun around, laughing and giving their friend a big squeeze.

“We need to share this knowledge with all of the adventurers who helped us,” Skylar said. “Thanks to them, the ancient mystery of the Quibbit has been solved!”

Evolve Quibblet into Quibbit at Quibbit Cove

With the community’s help, Skylar and Hop have discovered how to evolve Quibblet Minimals into the prismatic pet species, Quibbit!

Adventurers now have the ability to place a Quibblet into Quibbit Cove. Feed the Quibblet lots of berries to give it the energy to transform - it seems higher rarity berries give a greater boost to the evolution process!

Now that the first rush of Quibbspawn is finished hatching, they appear to have returned back to the Uncommon rarity and are no longer Widespread. Silvershade has also announced that they have been seeing less and less Quibblets in the wild, so be sure to tame one for yourself before they disappear from Herding! 

Silvershade and Skylar are confident that Quibbspawn will continue to be available from assorted fishing spots going forward though, so adventurers will always be able to continue hatching their own Quibblets provided they acquire enough eggs.

The Quibbspawn, Quibblets and Quibbits you collect are covered by the Alpha Rollover Policy, and will be returned to you once we perform our post-alpha wipe. (Quibbits will be returned in the form of a Divine Natural Quibbit Figurine)

Furthermore, all participants that contributed to the event at any stage, will receive the Quibbit Event Trophy in the next few days!

Travel to Quibbit Cove to get started!

Quibbit Cove has been released and is the first pet-create feature that does not conform to the "unique pet names" algorithm. You can name your Quibbit any pet name - even one that already exists. We'll be progressively rolling that out to other pet-create locations soon too. Note: "First Edition" functionality will not be applied until the Rollover occurs.
