Super Bear Adventure changed how players get items in update 13.0. Lootboxes now sit with Grannytalus, and the Wheel of Fortune that used to be the route to legendary items is gone.

Many older guides still recommend spinning the wheel or saving resources for a specific lootbox tier. The rules have since moved on. This article pieces the changes together from the official Earthkwak changelog on superbearadventure.com, with Android currently on version 13.0.8.

Quick answer: After update 13.0, Super Bear Adventure lootboxes and the item shop are handled by Grannytalus in Bear Village, and the Wheel of Fortune has been removed. Lootbox types still differ in item count and rarity odds, but Earthkwak does not publish the percentages in its changelog.

What Update 13.0 Changed for Lootboxes

Update 13.0, known as The Bundles Update, arrived on July 20, 2026. The changelog names Grannytalus as the new Bear Village shopkeeper in charge of the item shop and lootboxes. Paid cosmetic bundles are sold separately at Capitalos' blue shop.

The same update removed the Wheel of Fortune and added more than 150 new items. Nintendo Switch players also lost Pierre Music Kit lootboxes, since the 13.0.0 notes state that PMK lootboxes were removed on that platform.

How the Item System Evolved

The Super Bear Adventure cosmetics system has been reworked several times since early 2023. These are the milestones recorded in the official changelog.

VersionDateChange
10.1.0Feb 25, 2023New cosmetics system, shop rotates every 6 hours, Maybee's Gift Shop
10.2.0May 10, 2023Donor items become legendary, new legendary items added
10.4.0Aug 22, 2023Capitalos' Wheel of Fortune added, legendaries unlocked through the wheel
11.0.0Apr 5, 2024New lootbox types, shop grows to 18 items, 8-hour rotation
13.0.0Jul 20, 2026Grannytalus runs shop and lootboxes, wheel removed

With the wheel gone, the changelog does not spell out the new source of every legendary item. Players chasing something specific should check the shop and cosmetics menu in the game.

What Is Actually Known About Lootbox Types

The only official description of lootbox types appears in version 11.0.0, which says new lootboxes offer different amounts of items and different rarity drop rates. The changelog does not state how many types exist, what they are called or what the odds are.

Specific percentages circulating online should be treated with caution unless they come from the developer. Notes from version 10.5.3 indicate that lootboxes cost coins, but the price shown in the game is the safest reference.

Lootbox or Shop: Which Makes More Sense?

The main difference is certainty. The shop shows exactly what can be bought, while a lootbox gives a random result.

RouteStrengthBest for
Item shop18 visible items, new set every 8 hoursA specific target item
LootboxRandom results, item count varies by typeFilling out a collection
Capitalos bundlesPaid themed item packsGetting one theme at once

The Best for column is editorial advice based on what each route does.

If coins are tight, check several shop rotations before opening a lootbox. The item you want may appear in the shop and save your coins from a random draw.

Shop and Lootbox Fixes Since 13.0

Several fixes followed the overhaul. Version 13.0.1 corrected the rarity of the Mummy Shicka cosmetic, the price of the honey pot cosmetic and unlocking issues in the Bee Shop. Version 13.0.2 upgraded the Google Play billing library, and 13.0.3 fixed a lootbox animation issue.

Version 13.0.4 closed in-app purchases and shops during speedrun mode, and 13.0.7 fixed further in-app purchase problems. Anyone who has run into transaction issues should make sure the game is on 13.0.8.
