Changelog/2026/March 23/Alpha

Hi everyone!

Today we've got an update containing some changes to Jerry Fishing, as well as the official discontinuation of Reforge Anvils within the game. Additionally, we have added several new Abiphone Contacts. Read on for all the details!

Littlefoot's Den is a new Glacite Mineshaft variant. If you are ever so lucky to happen upon one, you'll notice Littlefoot lingering around; it is his home, after all. This little guy packs quite a punch once he gets over his fear of outsiders, so come ready for a fight.

Once defeated or hunted, Littlefoot can drop a number of valuable items:

• Littlefoot Shard -> Grants +0.5 Gemstone Spread for every 29-20 Cold Resistance you have in the Glacite Mineshafts
• Littlefoot Fluff -> Used to craft the Pocket-Sized Igloo, which can upgrade a Baby Yeti Pet to MYTHIC rarity

Littlefoot also has a base 0.1% chance to replace any Glacite Maniac in any given Glacite Mineshaft.

Designer Note: We are looking into upping this base chance and adjusting Mythic Baby Yeti's perk as part of this Alpha session since we're not satisfied with its final design yet.

Udel and Alda have been in fierce competition for some time now when it comes to who can sell the most Abiphones. Their travels have taken them all throughout SkyBlock, and have led to the following NPCs now owning their very own Abiphones. Why don’t you try and add them all to your contacts?

Spoiler: New Abiphone Contacts

• Increased rarity of Arachne Crystal from RARE → EPIC

Starting today, we are beginning the process of removing Reforge Anvil functionality from Hypixel SkyBlock, for the purposes of simplicity. Everything you used to need a reforge anvil for (applying reforges, recombobulators, etc) can now be done in a regular anvil.

• Adjusted itemlore of all "Combinable in Reforge Anvil" items to now say "Combinable in Anvil".
• Converted all Reforge Anvils on Public Islands, such as the SkyBlock Hub, into regular Anvils

To prevent players from abusing the 2m NPC sell price of the Reforge Anvil on the main server while this update is still on Alpha, we have already implemented the changes to the Obsidian Collection that remove the Reforge Anvil's crafting recipe in addition to placing a 1 per SB Year cap on Reforge Anvil purchases from the Smithmonger.
