Aniimo September 23 Update: Version 1.1 Times & Unlocks

Home / Checked October 15, 2026

This page records the September 23 Version 1.1 update; it is not a notice of the latest patch. Reviewed October 14. Its announced maintenance window was September 23, 00:00–10:00 UTC+8; it is not a notice of a current outage. The published compensation was 500 Glimmer for accounts registered before the update.

The official September 23 launch announcement confirms that mobile service opened. Event windows are separate from maintenance: match your server and rank before using the schedule below.

Later notices: a plan is not a released fix

Checked October 15: the October 1 Dev Dispatch describes future Sparkling Hue switching and fixed Irisalis Potential. The October 13 Dev Feedback still describes an ATK-calculation revision as planned. Those notices do not establish deployment dates; do not use this page’s September “Version 1.1” label as proof they are live.

For a failed account link, use the official relink-ticket checklist. For current Sanctum symptoms, use the Egg Heist checks and planned-change boundaries. The September event schedule below remains a dated reference.

Version 1.1 schedule and requirements

October 14 schedule check: Floral Soirée ended October 2, Discovery’s announced round ended October 9, and both published Vein Abundance stages ended by October 12 in their listed server zones. Journey Chronicles remains within its announced October 1–29 window. The public official news list reviewed today does not establish a later Inferlupa stage or a Harvest event cutoff. Check the current event screen for subsequent rounds. For the community-reported Harvest naming issue, use the Bright Blooms / Bountiful placement checks.

The table below uses Aniimo-Apac (UTC+8). For Europe and Americas, use the regional note immediately below the table; event starts are not all simultaneous worldwide.

Europe and Americas: use your server clock

For Egg Heist Chaos, Glamour Star, Aniimo Discovery, Vein Abundance and Journey Chronicles, the official notice gives the same calendar dates and clock times as this table, but in UTC for Europe and UTC−4 for Americas. For example, Discovery ends October 9 at 03:59 in each server’s listed zone, not at one shared instant.

Irisalis starts September 25 at 10:00 in each server’s zone. Its end is December 9 at 23:59 UTC (Europe), December 9 at 19:59 UTC−4 (Americas), or December 10 at 07:59 UTC+8 (Apac). The historical maintenance window was September 22, 16:00–September 23, 02:00 UTC for Europe and September 22, 12:00–22:00 UTC−4 for Americas. Holo-Battle’s notice gives Thursday 04:00–Monday 03:59 without a separate region table; confirm its in-game timer.

Vein Abundance locations: The published window for Prismana Melloblum is Rosetower Woods from September 28 to October 5; the window for Prismana Waleetle is Berylline Vale from October 5 to October 12. The Apac windows run 04:00–03:59 UTC+8; use the same dates and clock times in Europe UTC or Americas UTC−4. Both published stages have ended by the October 14 schedule check. This table does not confirm a replacement stage.

What the new activities actually require

Irisalis and Blessing Gifts

  1. Reach Student I and use the new weekly-limited source of Iris Petals.
  2. Craft the Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis to unlock its Rift Space encounter.
  3. After befriending Irisalis, its exclusive Transmog ability unlocks.
  4. During the season, additional Iris Petals can craft the Legendary Aniipod: Windchaser’s Departure. The official notice guarantees that this seasonal Aniipod captures at 100%, with Perfect Innate Potential, Sparkling Form and exclusive seasonal perks.

The notice does not publish the required Iris Petal counts, so this guide does not invent a farming total.

Holo-Battle and Egg Heist Chaos

Holo-Battle Interlink lets a four-player team or AI teammates challenge three routes. The Team Leader selects buffs in co-op, and the system keeps the highest Star Rank for each route before combining the total for milestones. For team slots, route records and the next reward decision, use the Holo-Battle Interlink setup and stars guide. Egg Heist Chaos is a separate high-difficulty mode with stricter escape conditions and higher published drop opportunities; “higher” is not an exact drop-rate percentage.

Practical QoL changes and documented fixes

AreaWhat changesWhat it means
Companion ModeRemote invitations, standardized start/end entries, and shared rare-resource gathering for members in the Companion state.Read the Companion Mode guide for the older Guide/member behavior and unresolved UI boundaries.
Story and HomePathfinder voiceover toggle, Promotion Series naming, Home Shop/Co-op Store shortcuts, E-Mode and controller-navigation improvements.Use the named settings or Home Management areas; do not expect a redesigned quest or build system.
SystemUnobtained Sparkling Forms are temporarily hidden in Aniilog; Branch opens from Outpost; selected outfit sets can activate Affinity Abilities.Absence from the preview after the update is not proof that a Sparkling Form was removed permanently.
FixesThe notice lists red tint, GPU blackout and an infinite reconnection loop among the resolved issues, plus rendering, UI-stutter and memory optimizations.The fix list is version-specific; record your device and exact symptom if the problem persists after updating.

Using this schedule after the update

  1. Update the client: restart after applying an update before diagnosing a symptom listed in the patch notes. This page does not report live server health.
  2. Match the server zone: use Apac UTC+8, Europe UTC or Americas UTC−4 as specified above, then check the in-game countdown.
  3. Check the rank gate: an open event window does not remove its Student or Trailblazer requirement.
  4. For mobile: use the official store routes and device checks.
