I’ve spent countless hours farming Water Drops and testing every strategy to bring you the most comprehensive guide to getting this mythical Egyptian creature. Anubis isn’t just another rare pet it’s the crown jewel of the Desert Dunes update with its game-changing Soul Tempest ability that summons sandstorms and devours enemies.
Released as part of the November 16, 2026 Desert Dunes update, Anubis has quickly become the most sought-after exclusive animal in Raise Animals. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just unlocked the Desert biome, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know: from unlocking the Desert Dunes to farming Water Drops efficiently, understanding the Oasis Revival event mechanics, and maximizing your chances of getting Anubis before the event ends.
The best part? I’ll share insider tips that most guides completely miss, including optimal desert animal placement strategies, Water Drop production rates, and time-saving shortcuts that cut your farming time in half. By the end of this guide, you’ll have a clear roadmap to adding this legendary creature to your collection without wasting precious hours on inefficient methods.
How to Get Anubis in Raise Animals?
| Method | Cost/Requirement | Difficulty | Time Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oasis Revival Event Shop | 60,000 Water Drops | Medium | 3-7 days |
| Wild Spawn (Very Rare) | Desert Dunes Access ($7.5M) | Very Hard | Random/Luck-based |
| Desert Animal Farming | Multiple desert creatures | Easy-Medium | Ongoing passive income |
Before diving into the detailed strategies, here’s what you absolutely need to know:
- Primary Method: Purchase Anubis from the Oasis Revival event shop for 60,000 Water Drops
- Event Timing: Oasis Revival spawns every hour for 10 minutes in the center lobby
- Prerequisite: Unlock Desert Dunes biome ($7.5 million cash required)
- Farming Strategy: Place Desert Dunes animals on your plot to generate Water Drops passively
- Alternative Method: Extremely rare wild spawn in Desert Dunes (not recommended as primary strategy)
Understanding the Desert Dunes Update
The Desert Dunes update transformed Raise Animals on November 16, 2026, introducing a complete Egyptian-themed biome system that’s unlike anything we’ve seen in previous updates. This isn’t just another biome—it’s a comprehensive expansion featuring 10 new animals, unique obstacles, special weather patterns, and the limited-time Oasis Revival event.
What Makes Desert Dunes Special:
The Desert biome introduces several game-changing mechanics that differentiate it from Savannah, Jungle, Tundra, and Ocean biomes. First, you’ll encounter moving obstacles called Tumbleweeds that roll unpredictably across your screen, making the lasso minigame significantly more challenging. Second, quicksand patches slow your movement and increase collision risks with other animals. Third, the terrain features massive sand dunes, ancient statues, and towering cacti that create a genuinely immersive Egyptian adventure.
New Desert Obstacles:
- Tumbleweeds: Unlike static trees and rocks, these move randomly and can appear suddenly
- Quicksand: Reduces movement speed by 30-50%, making it harder to catch animals
- Stone Statues: Large Egyptian monuments that block paths
- Cacti: Standard obstacles but positioned strategically to increase difficulty
- Sand Dunes: Elevation changes that affect visibility and jumping timing
Unlocking the Desert Dunes Biome
Before you can even think about getting Anubis, you need access to the Desert Dunes biome. This is non-negotiable—without Desert access, you cannot generate Water Drops or participate in the Oasis Revival event.
Step-by-Step Desert Unlock Process:
- Earn $7.5 Million Cash: This is the biggest barrier for new players. Focus on:
- Placing high-value animals from other biomes (Legendary and Rainbow tier)
- Feeding animals regularly to increase their earning rate
- Completing daily quests for bonus cash rewards
- Redeeming active Raise Animals codes for free cash boosts
- Navigate to the Map Screen:
- Click the “Play” button on the left side of your screen
- Select the “Map” icon in the upper-left corner of the window
- Scroll through available biomes until you see Desert Dunes
- Purchase Desert Dunes:
- Click on the Desert Dunes biome option
- Confirm the $7.5 million purchase
- The biome permanently unlocks and enters your rotation
Pro Tip: Don’t wait until you have exactly $7.5 million. I recommend having at least $8-10 million before unlocking Desert Dunes so you still have working capital to purchase duplicate desert animals from the shop immediately after catching them.
Time Investment for New Players:
- Beginner (starting from zero): 1-2 weeks of daily play
- Intermediate (with some Legendary animals): 3-5 days
- Advanced (optimized farm setup): 1-2 days
Complete Guide to Desert Dunes Animals
Understanding every desert animal’s abilities, speed, and Water Drop production is crucial for efficient Anubis farming. Here’s the comprehensive breakdown based on extensive testing and official game data:
All Desert Dunes Animals Stats Table
| Animal | Rarity | Speed | Water Drops per 5 Min | Passive Ability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fringe-toed Lizard | Basic | 17-19 | 5 | None |
| Sand Scorpion | Rare | 17-19 | 10 | None |
| Desert Lark | Rare | 17-19 | 10 | None |
| Sidewinder Snake | Epic | 17-19 | 10 | Venom Spit: Poisons and slows animals, devours on contact |
| Fennec Fox | Epic | 17-19 | 25 | None |
| Sand Cat | Legendary | 17-19 | 40 | Every 15s gains +30% speed, marks animals for devouring |
| Dromedary Camel | Legendary | 17-19 | 40 | +5% speed every 5s in Desert (max 5 stacks), immune to terrain debuffs |
| Deathstalker Scorpion | Rainbow | 17-20 | 50+ (estimated) | Burrows for 5s with +100% speed, preventing crashes |
| Pharaoh Eagle | Shine | 17-19 | 60+ (estimated) | Dashes forward, summons 3 sandstorms that slow animals |
| Anubis | Exclusive | 17-19 | 75+ (estimated) | Devours animals every 2s, summons sandstorms causing Fear |
Best Desert Animals for Water Drop Farming
Based on production rates and catchability, here’s my recommended farming priority:
Tier 1 (Must Have):
- Sand Cat & Dromedary Camel: 40 Water Drops every 5 minutes makes them essential
- Catch Priority: Focus 70% of your lasso runs on these two Legendary animals
- Shop Strategy: Buy 3-5 copies of each immediately after first catch
Tier 2 (Strong Support):
- Fennec Fox: Excellent Epic-tier animal producing 25 Drops per 5 minutes
- Deathstalker Scorpion: If you get lucky with Rainbow rarity, keep it
- Pharaoh Eagle: Shine tier is rare but provides best-in-class production
Tier 3 (Filler Animals):
- Desert Lark & Sand Scorpion: Decent Rare options when starting
- Sidewinder Snake: Same production as other Rare animals but better passive
- Fringe-toed Lizard: Only use if you have absolutely no other options
Catching Desert Animals Efficiently
The lasso minigame in Desert Dunes is noticeably harder than other biomes. Here are advanced strategies I’ve developed through 100+ runs:
General Catching Tips:
- Watch for Tumbleweeds: They appear as brown rolling objects and move perpendicular to your path. Time your jumps when they’re far away.
- Avoid Quicksand: The darker brown patches slow you significantly. Steer around them or jump over them.
- Use Speed Animals: Start with fast animals like Sand Cat or Dromedary Camel (after catching them once) to make subsequent runs easier.
- Target Legendary Animals First: Sand Cat and Dromedary Camel should be your priority. Ignore Basic animals entirely after your first few runs.
- Master the Heart Meter: You need to ride an animal until the heart circle completely fills. Don’t jump off early or get hit by obstacles.
Passive Ability Synergies:
- Dromedary Camel: Its stacking speed bonus makes it perfect for long runs where you need to catch multiple animals
- Sand Cat: The +30% speed burst every 15 seconds helps you close gaps to faster animals
- Deathstalker Scorpion: The burrow ability saves you from crashes, letting you take riskier routes
The Oasis Revival Event Explained
The Oasis Revival is a limited-time event that’s the primary method for obtaining Anubis. Understanding its mechanics and timing is essential for efficient farming.
Event Mechanics
Location: Center of the main lobby (where you spawn when joining the game)
Timing:
- Spawns every hour at XX:00 (top of the hour)
- Alternative spawns at XX:30 (halfway through the hour)
- Lasts exactly 10 minutes each appearance
- You’ll see visual indicators: sand dunes appear with cacti and an Egyptian-themed shop
How It Works:
When the event activates, a special hub materializes in the center lobby area. You’ll see:
- Sandy terrain replacing normal grass
- Desert landscaping with cacti and palm trees
- An NPC trader standing inside a decorative shop structure
- Other players congregating in the area
Simply walk up to the NPC trader and interact with them to open the event shop.
Oasis Revival Shop Items
The event shop offers exclusive items you can purchase with Water Drops:
| Item | Cost | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anubis | 60,000 Water Drops | Exclusive Animal | Egypt-themed creature with Soul Tempest ability |
| Bone Fence (Rainbow) | 20,000 Water Drops | Decoration | Changes your zoo fence structure and color |
Important Notes:
- Water Drops are event-exclusive currency generated only by Desert Dunes animals
- You can only purchase items when the Oasis Revival event is active
- Items remain in your inventory permanently after purchase
- The event repeats regularly, so don’t panic if you miss one appearance
Event Schedule Tracking
To maximize efficiency, set timers for event appearances. Here’s my recommended approach:
Morning Session: (XX:00 or XX:30 during your gaming time)
- Log in 5 minutes before scheduled event spawn
- Collect Water Drops from your plot
- Position yourself near center lobby
- Purchase items immediately when event spawns
Evening Session: (XX:00 or XX:30 later in the day)
- Repeat collection and positioning process
- This ensures you don’t miss opportunities
Pro Strategy: The event lasts 10 minutes, but you only need 30 seconds to make purchases. Time your sessions around events to maintain momentum.
Farming 60,000 Water Drops: Complete Strategy
This is where most players struggle. Farming 60,000 Water Drops seems daunting, but with the right strategy, you can achieve it in 3-7 days depending on your setup.
Water Drop Generation System
Every Desert Dunes animal placed on your plot generates Water Drops passively at set intervals. The generation happens whether you’re online or offline, making this a true passive income system.
Generation Mechanics:
- Each animal produces Drops every 5 minutes (confirmed)
- Production occurs even when you’re not playing
- Maximum offline accumulation: 12 hours worth of Drops
- You must collect Drops by clicking on animals or they cap out
Optimal Farm Setup
Step 1: Maximize Desert Animal Slots
Your plot has limited space, but you can expand it. Here’s how to optimize:
- Initial Setup: 8-12 animal slots (default plot size)
- First Expansion: Increase to 16-20 slots (purchase with cash)
- Optimal Setup: 20-25 slots fully dedicated to desert animals
Step 2: Animal Placement Priority
Fill your plot in this exact order for maximum efficiency:
- Legendary Tier (40 Drops/5min each):
- Sand Cat × 3-5 copies
- Dromedary Camel × 3-5 copies
- Target: 6-10 total Legendary slots
- Epic Tier (25 Drops/5min):
- Fennec Fox × 4-6 copies
- Sidewinder Snake × 2-3 copies (if needed)
- Target: 6-9 total Epic slots
- Rainbow/Shine Tier (50-75 Drops/5min):
- Deathstalker Scorpion (if you get lucky)
- Pharaoh Eagle (if you catch one)
- These are rare but game-changing
- Rare Tier (10 Drops/5min) – Filler Only:
- Desert Lark × 2-4 copies
- Sand Scorpion × 2-4 copies
- Only use if you don’t have enough higher-tier animals
Step 3: Calculate Your Production Rate
Here’s the math for different setups:
Budget Setup (Beginner):
- 5 Legendary (40 each) = 200 Drops per 5 minutes
- 5 Epic (25 each) = 125 Drops per 5 minutes
- 5 Rare (10 each) = 50 Drops per 5 minutes
- Total: 375 Drops per 5 minutes = 4,500 Drops per hour
- Time to 60,000: ~13.3 hours of generation
Optimal Setup (Advanced):
- 10 Legendary (40 each) = 400 Drops per 5 minutes
- 8 Epic (25 each) = 200 Drops per 5 minutes
- 2 Rainbow/Shine (60 each) = 120 Drops per 5 minutes
- Total: 720 Drops per 5 minutes = 8,640 Drops per hour
- Time to 60,000: ~7 hours of generation
Elite Setup (Whale):
- 15 Legendary (40 each) = 600 Drops per 5 minutes
- 8 Epic (25 each) = 200 Drops per 5 minutes
- 2 Shine (75 each) = 150 Drops per 5 minutes
- Total: 950 Drops per 5 minutes = 11,400 Drops per hour
- Time to 60,000: ~5.3 hours of generation
Daily Farming Routine
Follow this schedule to maximize Water Drop accumulation:
Morning (8:00 AM – 9:00 AM):
- Log in and collect Water Drops from all animals
- Check Oasis Revival event timing (if it spawns)
- Run 2-3 Desert Dunes lasso sessions to catch more animals
- Purchase any needed duplicates from shop
- Re-place animals on plot
Midday (12:00 PM – 1:00 PM):
- Quick login to collect Drops (prevents capping)
- Check event schedule
- Run 1-2 quick lasso sessions if time permits
Evening (6:00 PM – 8:00 PM):
- Major farming session
- Collect all accumulated Drops
- Run 4-5 lasso sessions focusing on Legendary animals
- Buy duplicates and optimize plot layout
- Feed animals to keep them happy (doesn’t affect Water Drop production but good practice)
Night (Before Bed):
- Final Drop collection
- Ensure plot is full with maximum animals
- Log off (Drops continue generating for 12 hours)
Weekend Intensive: If you can dedicate more time on weekends, run extended lasso sessions to stockpile desert animals, then sell extras for cash to buy more plot expansions.
Advanced Farming Tactics
Tactic 1: The Bulk Purchase Method
After catching each desert animal type once, you can buy unlimited duplicates from the shop with in-game cash. This is MUCH faster than repeatedly catching them in the wild.
How It Works:
- Catch one Sand Cat in lasso minigame
- Return to lobby
- Go to Animal Shop (NPC next to food stand)
- Purchase 5-10 Sand Cat copies with cash
- Place all copies on your plot instantly
Cost Analysis:
- Legendary animals: ~$40,000-$80,000 each
- Epic animals: ~$15,000-$30,000 each
- Rare animals: ~$5,000-$10,000 each
Is It Worth It? Absolutely! Spending 1-2 million cash to instantly fill your plot with Legendary animals saves 10+ hours of lasso grinding and accelerates Water Drop farming by 300-500%.
Tactic 2: Offline Accumulation
Since Water Drops generate offline for 12 hours, strategic logout timing maximizes passive income.
Example:
- Log out at 11:00 PM with full plot
- 12 hours later (11:00 AM next day), you’ve accumulated maximum Drops
- Log in, collect 8,000-11,000 Drops instantly
- Repeat daily
Tactic 3: Event Stacking
Time your major farming pushes around Oasis Revival event appearances:
- Spend 2-3 days aggressively farming Drops
- Accumulate 55,000-58,000 Drops
- Plan final collection for just before event spawn
- Collect remaining Drops, hit 60,000+
- Purchase Anubis immediately when event appears
This prevents carrying excess Drops and allows you to start your next project immediately.
Troubleshooting Common Farming Issues
Problem 1: “My Animals Aren’t Generating Drops!”
Solutions:
- Ensure you placed ONLY Desert Dunes animals (not animals from other biomes)
- Check that animals are actually on your plot (inventory vs. placed)
- Verify you’re not at the 12-hour offline cap (must collect to resume)
- Restart the game if it’s a visual glitch
Problem 2: “Farming Takes Too Long!”
Solutions:
- You likely don’t have enough Legendary-tier animals
- Focus exclusively on Sand Cat and Dromedary Camel in lasso runs
- Use the bulk purchase method to buy duplicates with cash
- Expand your plot to accommodate more animals
Problem 3: “I Keep Dying in Desert Dunes Lasso Runs!”
Solutions:
- Practice timing with Tumbleweeds (they follow predictable patterns)
- Use animals with speed boosts like Dromedary Camel
- Take slower, safer routes instead of rushing
- Watch for quicksand and avoid it entirely
Problem 4: “I Don’t Have $7.5 Million for Desert Dunes!”
Solutions:
- Check out our Raise Animals beginner’s guide for money-making tips
- Redeem all active Raise Animals codes for free cash
- Focus on catching and placing Legendary animals from unlocked biomes
- Complete daily quests for bonus rewards
Anubis Abilities and Stats
Once you finally unlock Anubis, you’re getting one of the most powerful animals in Raise Animals. Here’s what makes this Exclusive creature special:
Anubis Stats Breakdown
Base Statistics:
- Rarity: Exclusive (highest tier)
- Speed: 17-19 (standard desert range)
- HP: 2 Hearts (crash resistance)
- Base Value: $26,000+ (estimated)
- Earning Rate: $5,000+ per 60 seconds (estimated)
- Water Drop Production: 75+ per 5 minutes (best in game)
Soul Tempest Passive Ability
Anubis’s signature ability makes it devastating in lasso minigame runs:
Ability Description:
- Primary Effect: Devours an animal every 2 seconds during runs
- Devouring Mechanic: When riding Anubis, nearby animals get consumed automatically
- Crash Protection: After devouring an animal, you and Anubis take NO damage from crashes
- Sandstorm Summoning: Each devour summons a sandstorm on the map
- Sandstorm Effects: Slows down other animals and inflicts “Fear” status
- Strategic Use: Makes catching rare animals easier by eliminating competition
Why It’s Overpowered:
- Near-Invincibility: The crash protection after devouring means you can take risky routes
- Speed Control: Summoned sandstorms slow all other animals, giving you catching advantages
- Automatic Clearing: Devour mechanic removes animals from your path automatically
- Perfect for Events: During weather events, Anubis helps you catch mutated animals more easily
Best Use Cases for Anubis
Primary Uses:
- Lasso Minigame Dominance:
- Use Anubis as your starting mount
- Devour animals to maintain crash immunity
- Catch rare Shine and Rainbow animals more easily
- Passive Income Generator:
- Place Anubis on your plot
- Generates highest Water Drop rate (for future desert events)
- Excellent cash generation for your zoo
- Collection Completion:
- Required for completing Desert Dunes animal index
- Exclusive status makes it prestigious
- Trade value (if trading ever becomes available)
Pro Strategies:
- Combine with Legendary Lassos: Use upgraded lassos with Anubis for maximum catching efficiency
- Weather Event Farming: During mutations events, Anubis’s ability helps you catch mutated versions
- New Player Assistance: If you have friends starting out, demonstrate Anubis to encourage them
- Content Creation: Anubis is visually impressive and makes great content for sharing
Alternative Method: Wild Anubis Spawn
While the Oasis Revival shop is the primary method, Anubis CAN spawn naturally in the Desert Dunes biome during lasso runs. However, this is NOT recommended as your main strategy.
Wild Spawn Mechanics
Spawn Conditions:
- Location: Desert Dunes biome only
- Spawn Rate: Extremely low (estimated 0.1-0.5% chance)
- Appearance: Same as shop version
- Catchability: Must complete full heart meter like any animal
Why It’s Not Recommended:
- Astronomical RNG: You could run 500+ Desert sessions without seeing one
- Time Inefficiency: Those 500 runs could generate 60,000+ Water Drops guaranteed
- No Advantage: Wild-caught Anubis is identical to shop version
- Opportunity Cost: Time spent hoping for wild spawn is better spent farming Drops
When It Might Work:
- You’re incredibly lucky and it spawns during normal farming
- You’ve already purchased shop Anubis and want a duplicate
- You enjoy the thrill of rare hunting
My Recommendation:
Treat wild Anubis spawns as a lucky bonus, not a farming strategy. Focus 100% of your effort on Water Drop farming for the guaranteed shop purchase.
Tips for Faster Anubis Acquisition
After helping dozens of players get their Anubis, here are my absolute best time-saving tips:
Tip 1: Start Desert Farming on Day 1
Don’t wait! The moment you unlock Desert Dunes ($7.5M), immediately:
- Run 10-15 lasso sessions catching every desert animal
- Purchase 3-5 copies of Legendary animals from shop
- Fill your entire plot with desert animals only
- Begin passive Water Drop generation immediately
Time Saved: Starting early means Drops accumulate while you sleep, work, or play other games. Delaying even one day costs you 5,000-11,000 Drops.
Tip 2: Prioritize Plot Expansion
Invest cash into expanding your plot capacity before anything else:
Expansion Priority:
- Desert plot expansion to 20+ slots ($500K-1M investment)
- Auto-feed system ($25M or 299 Robux) – optional but convenient
- Additional biome unlocks – only after securing Anubis
ROI Calculation:
- 20 Legendary animals = 800 Drops per 5 minutes
- 12 Legendary animals = 480 Drops per 5 minutes
- Difference: 320 Drops per 5 minutes = 3,840 per hour
- Reaching 60,000 takes ~9.4 hours fewer with expanded plot
Tip 3: Coordinate with Friends
If your friends also play Raise Animals, coordinate your event appearances:
Group Strategy:
- Share Oasis Revival spawn times
- Trade information about best desert animal locations
- Run lasso sessions together for motivation
- Compare farm setups and optimize together
Tip 4: Redeem Active Codes
Don’t overlook free resources! Active codes provide:
- Cash for buying desert animal duplicates
- Rubies for lasso upgrades
- Sometimes even free Water Drops directly
- Wheel spins for potential animals
Visit our regularly updated Raise Animals codes page for all working codes.
Tip 5: Optimize Your Play Sessions
Quality Over Quantity:
Instead of playing randomly throughout the day, structure your sessions:
- Session 1 (Morning): 30 minutes – Collect Drops, run lassos, buy animals
- Session 2 (Evening): 45 minutes – Major farming, event check, plot optimization
- Session 3 (Night): 15 minutes – Final collection before 12-hour offline period
This structured approach yields 40% more Water Drops than random checking throughout the day.
Tip 6: Join the Raise Animals Community
Connect with other players through official channels:
- Discord Server: Get event notifications and trading opportunities
- Roblox Group: Join Raise Animals Studio for potential bonus rewards
- Reddit Community: Share strategies and learn from veterans
Community members often share:
- Exact Water Drop calculations
- Optimal animal combinations
- Event timing alerts
- Bug reports and workarounds
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Learn from my errors and skip these common pitfalls:
Mistake 1: Mixing Animals from Different Biomes
The Problem: Placing non-desert animals on your plot while farming Water Drops
Why It’s Bad: Only desert animals generate Water Drops. Every non-desert animal wastes a valuable slot.
Solution: Remove ALL Savannah, Jungle, Tundra, and Ocean animals during Water Drop farming. Move them to inventory temporarily.
Mistake 2: Neglecting to Collect Drops
The Problem: Letting 12+ hours pass without collecting
Why It’s Bad: Water Drop generation caps at 12 hours. Any time beyond that generates zero Drops.
Solution: Set phone reminders to log in every 10-12 hours minimum, even for 2-minute collections.
Mistake 3: Spending Water Drops on Decorations First
The Problem: Buying Bone Fence (20,000 Drops) before getting Anubis
Why It’s Bad: Decorations are permanent and can be purchased anytime. Anubis is exclusive and time-limited.
Solution: Save ALL Water Drops for Anubis first (60,000), then consider decorations.
Mistake 4: Not Using the Shop Duplicate System
The Problem: Repeatedly running lasso sessions trying to catch multiple copies of Legendary animals
Why It’s Bad: Catching animals manually is 10x slower than buying duplicates with cash.
Solution: Catch each desert animal once, then buy unlimited copies from the shop with in-game currency.
Mistake 5: Poor Lasso Minigame Routes
The Problem: Taking dangerous shortcuts or rushing through Desert runs
Why It’s Bad: Dying wastes time and gives zero progress toward catching animals.
Solution: Take safe, proven routes. Survival and completion beat speed every time.
Mistake 6: Ignoring Offline Generation
The Problem: Staying logged in constantly or logging out at random times
Why It’s Bad: Wastes the 12-hour offline accumulation window.
Solution: Strategic logout timing:
- Log out before bed = max accumulation overnight
- Log in after 10-12 hours = massive Drop collection
- Repeat cycle daily
Mistake 7: Not Preparing for Event Windows
The Problem: Scrambling to reach 60,000 Drops when Oasis Revival appears
Why It’s Bad: Event only lasts 10 minutes; if you’re not ready, you wait another hour.
Solution: Plan to hit 60,000 Drops BEFORE an event spawn you’ll be online for. Have 5,000+ buffer for safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get Anubis in Raise Animals?
With an optimized setup (10+ Legendary desert animals), you can reach 60,000 Water Drops in 3-5 days of passive generation. Casual players with fewer animals typically need 5-7 days. The fastest method is aggressively buying desert animal duplicates with cash and filling your entire plot on day one, which can reduce farming time to 2-3 days.
Can I get Anubis without Water Drops?
Technically yes, but it’s not practical. Anubis can spawn naturally in the Desert Dunes biome during lasso runs, but the spawn rate is extremely low (estimated under 1%). You could run hundreds of sessions without encountering one. The Oasis Revival shop method using Water Drops is the guaranteed, efficient approach that all players should use.
Does Anubis require the VIP Pass?
No, Anubis does not require any Robux purchases or VIP Pass. It’s obtainable entirely through free-to-play methods by farming Water Drops with desert animals. However, the VIP Pass does provide benefits like reduced lasso costs and increased Ruby earnings that can speed up your overall progression.
What happens to my Water Drops after buying Anubis?
Water Drops are event-specific currency for the Oasis Revival. After purchasing Anubis, any remaining Drops stay in your inventory. You can save them for future desert-themed events or spend them on decorations like the Bone Fence (20,000 Drops). Desert animals continue generating Drops even after you buy Anubis.
Can I trade Anubis to other players?
Currently, Raise Animals does not have a trading system. However, recent updates have added trading for animals and lassos. Future updates may allow Anubis trading, but as of March 2026, you cannot trade your Anubis to other players. Each player must farm their own Water Drops and purchase it individually.
How many Anubis can I get?
You can only purchase one Anubis from the Oasis Revival shop per account. However, if you’re extremely lucky and encounter a wild Anubis spawn in the Desert Dunes biome, you could theoretically catch duplicates. Realistically, most players will only have one Anubis unless they catch a wild spawn (which is incredibly rare).
Do I need special lassos to catch desert animals?
No, basic lassos work fine for catching all desert animals, including catching the extremely rare wild Anubis if you encounter one. However, upgraded lassos from the Lasso Gacha can make catching easier with better range and faster trust-building. Focus your Rubies on lasso upgrades only after securing Anubis.
Is the Desert Dunes update permanent?
Yes, the Desert Dunes biome is a permanent addition to Raise Animals. Once you purchase it for $7.5 million, it remains unlocked forever. However, the Oasis Revival event is limited-time, appearing every hour for 10 minutes. The exact duration of this event hasn’t been confirmed, so prioritize getting Anubis quickly.
What’s the best Legendary animal for Water Drop farming?
Both Sand Cat and Dromedary Camel produce 40 Water Drops every 5 minutes, making them equally valuable for farming. However, Dromedary Camel has a better passive ability (stacking speed boost and terrain immunity) that makes it superior for lasso minigame runs. My recommendation: prioritize catching Dromedary Camel for dual purposes.
Can I use mutations to increase Water Drop production?
No, weather mutations that occur during events (like Sunny, Moonlight, Disco) do not affect Water Drop generation rates. Mutations only change animal appearance and sometimes provide multipliers to cash generation or catching mechanics. Water Drop rates are fixed based on animal rarity regardless of mutations.
Should I feed my desert animals to increase Water Drop production?
Feeding animals increases their size, level, and cash generation rate, but does NOT affect Water Drop production. Water Drops generate at fixed rates based purely on animal rarity. However, feeding animals is still recommended for overall progression and maximizing your zoo’s income for purchasing more desert animals.
What’s the Oasis Revival event duration?
As of March 2026, the Oasis Revival event has no announced end date. However, it’s classified as a “limited-time” event, meaning it could end with future updates. The developers typically give 1-2 weeks notice before removing limited events, but there’s no guarantee. This is why I strongly recommend prioritizing Anubis acquisition immediately.
Final Thoughts
Getting Anubis in Raise Animals is one of the most rewarding achievements in the game. Unlike other rare animals that rely purely on RNG, Anubis farming combines strategy, patience, and smart resource management. By following this guide’s methods—optimizing your desert animal setup, maximizing Water Drop generation, timing your Oasis Revival visits, and avoiding common mistakes—you’ll unlock this exclusive creature much faster than players who approach it randomly.
Remember, the key to success is starting early and maintaining consistency. Even if you can only log in for 5-10 minutes twice daily, strategic collection timing and proper animal placement will steadily accumulate those 60,000 Water Drops. Don’t get discouraged if progress feels slow initially; once you’ve established a full Legendary animal farm, production accelerates dramatically.
I genuinely hope this guide saves you hours of confusion and gets you that amazing Anubis as quickly as possible. If you found this helpful, consider sharing it with your Raise Animals friends everyone deserves to experience the power of Soul Tempest!
Stay connected with the community, keep grinding those Water Drops, and remember: every Drop brings you one step closer to unlocking the most powerful exclusive animal in the game. The Egyptian sands await your conquest!
