Greetings, Explorers!

We would like to extend our gratitude to your love and support for PixARK. We will continue our work on PixARK and bring to you an even better game. Happy Thanksgiving!

The Thanksgiving update is scheduled to go live at 12:00 am PDT on November 22nd. Official Servers will be offline for a few hours.



New Gameplay

Since the discovery of Cobalt Ore in Skyward, resulting mutations from the emitting radiation has been observed. Don’t worry, this is something explorers can utilize!

  • Added Radiation Mutation Platform. Craftable at level 90. Players can place Pixblocked tames into the Platform. Place the required materials to trigger the mutation. The result will be the creature’s mutated counterpart.
  • Added Cobalenergy Golem. Currently the only mutable tame. We’re looking into expanding the list of mutable tames in later patches.



Thanksgiving Gameplay
  • Thanksgiving Banquet. Place six different Thanksgiving dishes on the Thanksgiving Dining Table, and then press E to enjoy the treat and be rewarded with the Thanksgiving Buff. Placing Roasted Turkey right at the center of the Thanksgiving Dining Table will bring something special to Explorers.
  • Pardoned Turkey Event. In the Noviceland biome, Explorers may find wild Turkeys locked in cages. Players will need to break the cage to free the Turkeys. Once they are freed, Turkeys will drop Turkey eggs that provide rewards. While freeing the caged Turkeys, explorers have a 10% chance of running into special Pardoned Turkey, which can take players up in the sky once tamed.



Thanksgiving Creatures
  • Pardoned Turkey. While freeing the caged Turkeys, explorers have a 10% chance of running into special Pardoned Turkey, which can take players up in the sky once tamed.



New Items
  • Thanksgiving Decor: Thanksgiving Dining Table, Thanksgiving Chair, Thanksgiving Recliner, Thanksgiving Curtain, Thanksgiving Decor Balloon, and Thanksgiving Wall Decor. All of which may drop from the Supply Beam and the Turkey Egg rewards from Pardoned Turkey Event.
  • Thanksgiving Dishes: Roasted Turkey, Pumpkin Pie, Beef Wellington, Salad, Brownie, Sweet Potato. All of which may drop from the Supply Beam and the Turkey Egg rewards from Pardoned Turkey Event.
  • Thanksgiving Equipment Skin: Turkey Hat. Drop from the Supply Beam and the Turkey Egg rewards from Pardoned Turkey Event.
Functional structures
  • Alien Crop Plot: craftable at level 90 in the Industrial Skill Engram. It is used to plant Cobalt Berries. Cobalt Berry Seed can only be harvested with Cobaltstar Beetle from bushes in Cobalt biomes.



Balancing and Changes
  • The Ancient Wyvern King and the Poison Wyvern will do 50% of their poisoning effect on Cobaltstar robotic creatures.
  • Cobaltenergy Golem: Iron Fist skill attack will have longer cast animation and effect area indication. Once cast, the first round of damage will be effective immediately. The second round of damage will be effective 5 seconds later if it is not interrupted by Light magic.
  • Optimized how tames are released from tame Pixblocks to reduce tame loss.

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where Tek Cloning Chamber incorrectly cloned tames’ stats.
  • Fixed an issue where in some cases, the Cobaltstar Spaceship Challenge can be taken unlimited times.

PixARK - SG_Raytings
Greetings, Explorers!
Halloween is just around the corner, and our next PixARK Halloween update is scheduled to go live around 12:00 am PDT on October 26. Official Servers will be offline for a few hours.

First, let’s take a peek at the Halloween main menu screen.



New Dungeon/Challenge
To start the Ancient Wyvern King challenge, players will need to Summon an Ancient Wyvern King Challenge Gate and be teleported to where the Wyvern King resides.

The Challenge Gate can be summoned in the Inscription Book when you put in Dark Magic Stone, Water Magic Stone, Wind Magic Stone, Thunder Magic Stone, Fire Magic Stone, Light Magic Stone, and Earth Magic Stone. You have the chance to produce one of the three different Challenge Gates once the summoning is done. Each of the three Challenge Gate has its own color, size, and summoning rate. The numbers of players and tames allowed to be teleported through these Challenge Gates also vary.

Once the Challenge Gate is summoned, the dungeon challenge is not activated yet. Players will need to obtain Energy Stone, craftable in the Alchemy Stove, and place them on the Challenge Gate to initiate the portal to the Ancient Wyvern King. If you want to challenge the Ancient Wyvern King for another time, you will have to place Energy Stone to create the portal again.

Out of the three Ancient Gate, only one can be activated via the Teleportation Platform at a time. A cooldown of 24 hours will be attached to players who have taken on an Ancient Wyvern King challenge.
  • Challenge Gate (Blue): summoning rate is 70%; teleport up to 5 players and 5 tames
  • Challenge Gate (Green): summoning rate is 25%; teleport up to 10 players and 10 tames
  • Challenge Gate (Purple): summoning rate is 5%; teleport up to 15 players and 15 tames


New Boss - Ancient Wyvern King
The Ancient Wyvern drops Wyvern Armor (Wyvern Head Armor, Wyvern Claw Armor, Wyvern Body Armor, and Wyvern Wing Armor, equitable on Fire Wyvern, Lightning Wyvern, and Poison Wyvern.) It also drops Magic Broom.
  • Wyvern Head Armor: reduces damage by 15%; drop rate is 10%
  • Wyvern Claw Armor: reduces damage by 10%; drop rate is 25%
  • Wyvern Body Armor: reduces damage by 15%; drop rate is 40%
  • Wyvern Wing Armor: reduces damage by 10%; drop rate is 20%
  • Magic Broom: drop rate is 5%


New Halloween Creature - Pumpkin Soul Reaper
Pumpkin Soul Reaper can be found in these biomes: PixARK - Novice Grassland and Grassland; SkyARK - Dawn Island, Woodland, and Void.

They drop Pumpkin Seed, Limited-Time Magic Broom (spoils in 7 days), and Clown Costume Blueprint.



New Engram and Items
Limited-Time Magic Broom (Halloween-only): drops from Pumpkin Soul Reaper; includes a spoil timer and disappears once the timer is up.

Magic Broom: drops from Ancient Wyvern King.



Halloween Decor: Halloween Trees, Halloween Gravestone, Pumpkin Candle, and Halloween Wall Decor: obtainable from Clown Supply Beam.





Halloween Clown Costume: Craftable at the Tailor’s Workbench, but first players will need to obtain Clown Costume blueprints from the Pumpkin Soul Reaper. They will need to obtain Pumpkin Seed from Pumpkin Soul Reaper to grow Pumpkin, which is used as a crafting material for Halloween Costume.





Halloween Candy Grenade: Throw various Halloween Candy Grenade at other players to turn them into characters wearing various Halloween Masks for ten minutes. Halloween Candy Grenade can be obtained from the Clown Supply Beam.



Pumpkin Mini Train and Bone Track: create the rail in Halloween style and enjoy a spooky ride.





Halloween In-game Event
Clown Supply Beam: the current Supply Beam has been changed to Clown Supply Beam, and drops Halloween decor and Halloween Candy Grenades.

Pumpkin Hat: Some creatures will be wearing Pumpkin Hats. There is a chance they can drop the Pumpkin Hat to equip on your tamed creatures.



Double Harvest Rate: Players will be able to receive double Harvest Rates for Ore during the Halloween Event.

Higher EXP gain from Pumpkin Soul Reaper: Players will receive more EXP compared to the normal Soul Reaper after players defeat them.

Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where Cobalt Minotaur could not be tamed by Magic Sleepy Arrow.
Fixed an issue where Cobalt Minotaur could not consume Cobalt Organics as feed.
Fixed an issue where steel structures and other structures above steel-tier could be damaged by Tek Saddle laser and Tek Rifle.

New Servers
We are also launching a total of eight official servers, all of which are server-transferrable:
