Roblox morning briefing — September 24, 2026: both anniversary prizes appear in the catalogue, five more clues go live, and refunds start announcing themselves

Both anniversary prizes appeared in the catalogue overnight

• Both items are credited to Roblox itself, and both sit off sale at a nominal price of 1 Robux — the state Roblox parks an item in when it means to grant the item rather than sell it. 12
• Each carries a Latin line in its description. The cape's reads Aurora musis amica — dawn is a friend to the Muses. The Dominus's reads Ab initio, ad vicesimus — from the beginning, to the twentieth. 12
• The cape landed first and the Roblox news accounts read it two ways. 4Lulz, which tracks new catalogue uploads, called it "the grand prize of The Hunt: R20" at 00:38. 3 RoNews reported at 03:21 that the cape goes to players who complete all 20 regular and secret badges. 4
• Roblox has published neither assignment. The event page and the developer thread that carries it promise only that finishing all 20 years unlocks Year Infinity, and that Roblox Plus subscribers can earn three exclusive items during the event. 56
• The Dominus is the better documented of the two. Bloxy News reported on September 19 that the first 20 players to complete the anniversary's 20 new quests receive an exclusive Dominus. 7 4Lulz repeated the same limit of 20 at 02:28 this morning, when the hat became viewable on the website with new effects added. 8
• Neither item page says who the item is for. Both show a name, that Latin description, and no way to buy anything. 910
• The cape's in-game look travelled fast. Bloxy News reposted a clip of it at 02:33 showing "PBR, beam effects & particles", and the clip passed 180,000 views before this morning. 11

Five more clues opened, and the badge page shows which

• Fifteen of the twenty are live. Five still read zero: S02, S09, S10, S12 and S20. 13
• The waves have run every other day: five quests on September 19, five more on September 21, five more last night. That puts the fourth and last wave on Friday, September 25, two days before the event closes on Monday, September 28 at 10 a.m. Pacific time — 19:00 here. 5

• The hub has now taken 200,427,639 visits and 210,417 favourites, and held 12,773 players when this briefing read it at 08:08 this morning. Wednesday's edition read 191,400,195 visits and 204,726 favourites from the same endpoint. 14
• Three further badge slots that are not among the twenty — R20D, VCS and The Twentieth Teapot — also still read zero. 13

Refunds now announce themselves

• Until now a refund a player requested through Roblox customer service was invisible to the developer. Roblox's own example: a player buys a 400 Robux developer product, takes the currency pack, and a week later the payment behind those Robux is refunded or charged back. The Robux leave the system and the boost stays in the economy. 15
• The webhook fires when a Robux purchase tied to a creator's content is refunded or charged back, and covers developer products, game passes, private servers and paid access. Subscriptions are not in it; they already have their own webhooks. 15
• Each delivery carries the buyer's user ID, the product type and product ID, the Robux amount, the universe and place where the purchase was made, the transaction or receipt ID, and the time of the refund. Roblox reports the product's original price rather than what the buyer actually paid. 15
• Roblox handles part of this by itself. A refunded game pass or avatar item loses its ownership automatically. A developer product does not, because the benefit — 500 coins, a 2x multiplier, a cosmetic — lives inside the game's own code, so only that code can take it back. 15
• Setting one up runs through Creator Hub: account settings, Webhooks, Add Webhook, an endpoint URL, a secret to verify the roblox-signature header on each delivery, the Transaction Refunded box ticked under Analytics, then Test Response before saving. An account can hold five webhooks, and for a group-owned experience only the group owner can configure or receive them. 15
• An endpoint that happens to be down when a refund lands receives nothing — the notification does not fire. Roblox says Roblox Wallet will later mark refunded transactions too, so a developer can also find them there. 15
• The replies turned into an argument about developer products specifically. Several developers wrote that they had not known a purchase could be refunded at all; others accepted the notice and asked what they are supposed to do with a consumable already spent. "How am I supposed to realistically track and 'remove the benefits from the player's save data'?" one wrote about an instant-use product. Another pointed at the case where a bought item has already been traded away. 15

Three Studio tools in one evening

• Texture generation now has three doors: a button in the ribbon, right-click then Generate > Texture, and the /generate_texture command in Assistant. Roblox describes the output as a starting point a creator refines, and the tool can now re-texture a model that already exists. 16
• Mesh segmentation used to work only on models Studio generated. Now /segment_mesh splits an imported mesh too: a creator names up to five parts, gets those parts back as separate pieces, and runs the command again on any part that needs more. Roblox publishes a list of recommended part names, because the names are what tell the Assistant where each piece belongs. 16
• /generate_mesh and /generate_procedural_model now return four generated images to choose between, and accept a reference image instead of a written prompt — Image mode for a mesh, Upload image beside Hint Image for a procedural model. 16
• The second announcement gives EditableMesh quad faces. A script can now pass four vertex IDs to EditableMesh:AddFace(vertexIds) to build one four-sided face, where before every face had to be a triangle and each quad had to be hand-managed as two. Quads and triangles can mix on the same mesh, and Triangulate() now splits a quad along whichever diagonal gives the better-shaped triangles. 17
• The limits come with it. Each quad counts as two triangles against EditableMesh's existing 20,000-triangle ceiling, and converting a mesh to an asset triangulates every quad with no way back — so quad topology survives only inside the EditableMesh. The feature is a Studio beta: File > Beta Features, tick EditableMesh Quads, restart Studio. 17

• The replies sorted themselves quickly. Quads drew the joke the feature has been waiting for — "blender in roblox before gta 6" — and a Roblox engineer confirming on the thread that the new type is mostly a convenience, since the engine still triangulates for rendering and the batch API is the faster path. 17
• The texture tool drew the sharper complaints. One creator reported that generating a texture reset a mesh's custom normals into a flat-shaded look and changed the mesh's ID; another asked how moderation will treat textures produced by Roblox's own built-in tool; a third wanted to keep a generated image before rerolling, because a bad reroll loses the acceptable one. 16

Shorts ideas to chase first

1. Twenty of these exist. The Dominus Infinitum's catalogue page on screen, the name, the Latin line, and the number: twenty players finish first and everyone else watches. 8
2. The prize nobody announced. Amictus Infinitum's page, uploaded at 00:22 with no post from Roblox to explain it, plus the in-game clip of the cape's beams and particles. 311
3. Fifteen lit, five dark. The badge page as a scoreboard, with S04 at 28,342 and S07 at 9,192 as the two fresh numbers and Friday named as the next wave. 13
4. The refund switch. Creator Hub, Webhooks, the secret, the Transaction Refunded box, Test Response — a forty-second walkthrough, because the path is the value. 15
5. One mesh, five parts. /segment_mesh on an imported model, five part names typed in, then a material on a single piece. 16
