This update releases next week!
Changes to Update Version Nomenclature
Traditionally, Shop Titans has followed the semver format of versioning for external version numbers. Starting with this release, we're switching to versioning based on the year and month an update releases to simplify communication internally and externally.
This means January's release will be 26.1, February's release will be 26.2 and so forth.

Major Changes
Enhanced Offer Content Previews for Mega Packs
When viewing a Mega Pack, you can now preview the content of that offer to make a more informed decision, all in 3D! You can view the details of blueprints, how much prestige that shiny new furniture will grant and what it'll look like in your shop, and what that fancy customization will look like when on your avatar!
New Virtual Shop Expansion Slots
Four more virtual (furniture-only) shop expansions have been added, allowing you to place more furniture in your Shop with the existing maximum physical shop space. Each expansion will provide +1 shop space like with all other virtual expansions.
We’ve also made some changes to existing slots:
Virtual Shop Expansion 15 will now unlock at Level Loop 1, Level 1 instead of Level 99 and cost 30 billion Gold instead of 25 billion Gold.
Virtual Shop Expansion 16 will now unlock at Level Loop 1, Level 50 instead of Level 99 and cost 40 billion Gold instead of 25 billion Gold.
Balance Changes
Increased the Worker XP granted from crafting Idols and Catalysts.
Reduced the level required by Zephyr in order to craft Tier 8 Idols and Catalysts from 21 to 19.
Added Water affinity to the Titan Admiral Gloves, Titan Admiral Boots and Titan Admiral Arms.
Added Light affinity to the Titan Shotkeeper and Titan Potion.
Added Fire affinity to Obsidian Lava Cake, Crushtacean Pincers and King Crab Appetizer.
The Collector’s Piece Shield has had its steel cost rebalanced to be more in line with the other shields of its tier. This should improve its Favor for the King’s Caprice. At the same time, we noticed the cost of its Ascension Upgrades were far below their intended price and this update will also bring those in line with other Tier 15 items. Now’s the time to ascend while it’s cheaper!
Minor Artifact Keys have been added to some event Extreme difficulty reward tracks. Any rewards it replaced have been merged into other existing rewards.
Minor Changes
With this update, we will begin A/B testing different visuals for Mega Packs. The content awarded remains the same regardless of which version of visuals you see. If you see the new layout, we’d love to hear your thoughts on Discord!
In addition, purchasing the complete pack will now grant the combined Gold and Gems of the individual packs. Depending on your version of visuals for the offer, this may only be visible in the expanded offer details.
When gaining XP, a visual effect trail will now display similar to Energy and Gold gain.
When purchasing an offer that includes a Shop Expansion, you can now select which plot of land to expand into by going into the Edit Shop menu instead of it being randomly selected for you.
The Collection Book button in the menu and the Item Collection button will now display a yellow notification counter informing you of how many items you have available for donation.
A confirmation pop-up will now surface when attempting to activate Zephyr's Altar to prevent accidental activations.
When obtaining a Card Pack, a red notification will now appear in the appropriate menus and buttons leading you to the pack.
An “Open Pack” button has been added to the Card Collection menu.
When purchasing a Card Pack for Gems, it will now be immediately opened.
Added a button to the Fortune Zone promoting becoming a Royal Merchant subscriber for added benefits. This will not appear for those already subscribed.
The quantity of Timewarp components you currently have will now appear on the Timewarp component selection menu in quests.
Adjusted the tooltips for Shop Space and Basement Space to be more accurate.
King Schedule
The King will return as a Guest Champion from February 2nd until February 5th.
Tower of Titans Schedule
Due to the length of the month of February, the Tower of Titans for February will run from February 1st until March 1st, instead of the usual 2nd to the 30th of the month.
King’s Caprice Schedule for 26.2
Heads up, Shopkeepers! The King’s Caprice event scheduled in February will not start on February 19th as you might have expected, instead it’ll start on February 26th! All events scheduled afterwards will continue their usual cadence following this one week delay.
The King’s Caprice for January is unchanged and will start on January 22nd.
Notable Bug Fixes
Fixed some event store packs using an incorrect name for Lost City of Gold, Tower of Titans and Dragon Invasion.
Fixed a few instances where Stone Coins could still be awarded, such as from the Golden Piggy Bank.
Fixed an issue where fallback/alternative rewards did not properly display before being claimed in Content Pass reward tracks.
