ποΈ [EVENT CONCLUSION] - DREAMS OF THE DEEP
Posted 1 month ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by Nev⦠DREAMS OF THE DEEP
As the novelty of the Starwell wears off, once enthusiastic citizens find they must return to their lives. People pack up their tents, their shops, and their boats, and they leave the Starwell behind. Some donβt even bother doing that, and leave their stands and boats to fall to ruin as time marches on. A few might dream of the deep longer than others, but eventually even that most mysterious side effect will fade away, and the Starwell will persist as only a fond, nostalgic memory.
Even so, the Starwell remains outside of Sor Solir, growing inch by lonely inch...
TOTAL APPROVED EVENT SUBMISSIONS: 1,917
This is the largest event we've seen... ever! Thank you for the participation and enthusiasm for Celestial Seas... and fishing. We hope you had fun spending your summer at the Starwell!

β¦ If you win a MYO SLOT you will be on cooldown and unable to enter for the next MYO SLOT after this one + You can't win the slot from both event raffles.
β¦ Cooldowns mentioned above expire after the next raffle of the same type only! (EX: If you win a MYO slot you just skip the MYO slot in whatever the next raffle is)
β¦ Winning a companion/game item does not place you on cooldown. However, in this instance you cannot win the Stone of the Sea from both raffles. Companions are considered game items.
β¦ You can only win once per raffle

β¦ ITEM AVAILABILITY & FUTURE PLANS
NO ITEMS RELEASED IN THIS EVENT WILL BE PERMANENTLY RETIRING.
β¦ MAGICAL SLUGGY, like all special trait items, will be added to Galstrod's goods several months to a year from now. The traits may also appear on premade designs occasionally!
β¦ The MAGICAL PET EGG will return in the future revamped fishing prompt. You can also hatch a sluggy from the Cosmic Egg, which will be rarely available in other events and raffles.
β¦ The SPARKLURE SUNDAE will return very rarely during events/future features, and occasionally show up on premade designs. The trait will remain specific to that item!
β¦ Event crafting/event shop items will return for future events, some return seasonally.
FISHING
Fishing will be leaving, and the event version of fishing is retired. I've noted the feedback on it + understand several issues that I want to fix. (how the bait and rod work and art obtained as one example)
A NEW fishing prompt structure is something I'm working on as a permanent addition. The rod and bait you have left over will be used for this overhauled version.ROD AND BAIT will not be usable in any prompt until revamped fishing is ready. NO ETA on when it'll be added yet!
β¦ Upcoming additions will be more slower paced and laid back for a while to give the community and staff a breather
β¦ More permanent/repeatable content. Based on feedback... Everyone enjoyed being able to draw aquatic versions of characters so we'll be preparing a similar prompt that's permanent.
β¦ Next larger update is planned to be the TRUBULL SUBTYPE RELEASE, reference materials, and a short permanent prompt questline for trubulls ALONG WITH guidelines for kitbulls and longbulls and the reintroduction of several missing kitbull traits. All kitbull traits will not have visual references by the time this is released, but they are being worked on
β¦ Additionally, a large multi-month eventΒ is in the early planning stage. The last event of a similar scale was the SUMMER 2020 event. It will be a long while before this new one is ready due to the workload. Multiple smaller releases will happen before then.
Β
β¦ EVENT RETROSPECTIVE
Hey it's Corrin!
It's been a while since we've regularly run events due to my IRL situation. Now that I'm able to actively work on C-S again I'm gradually bringing them back. To keep things fresh I'll be trying different event structures, reward types, prompt systems, items, etc! Events take a long time to prepare, even smaller ones, so please be patient while I work on them!
Something I want to acknowledge is: while many enjoyed the Dreams of the Deep event, I realize it was still stressful for some as they worried about missing out on possible rewards and felt like there wasn't much breathing room.
This was absolutely not intentional AND we did not expect such a massive influx of submissions. The completion requirements were around where we thought most people would stop. There WILL still be fast paced events occasionally, but this one has given me a better grasp on how to balance them. Seriously, thanks for the amount of interest and participation!! It's awesome to see and we're happy to welcome so many new faces to the community.
Β
β SPECIAL DESIGN AUCTION β
β¦ THERE IS AN UPCOMING SET OF GUEST DESIGNS PLANNED! There are x8 in total, keep an eye out, as this one is pretty special...
β ASTREAN UPDATE β
β¦ The ASTREAN browbird subtype have seen a full overhaul! All their traits now have full guidelines and visual examples along with a lore drop.
β Miscellaneous β
WELCOME NEW FULL MODERATORS!
Cypherlife, Dracula, limesparrowΒ
β¦ FORTUNES FOUNTAIN
Payouts on this prompt have been increased! UP from [1 Celestial shard] to [5 Stargold, 2 Celestial shards] to keep it in line with Wisher's Well. If you already submitted one this week you may submit a claim to make up the difference in earnings.Β
β¦ MYO/DESIGN SUBMISSION COOLDOWN
There is more SG, MYO slots, and players than ever before, so we're naturally seeing an influx of designs to review. To help ensure designs are approved on time, there is now a cooldown on design submissions shared between MYOs and DESIGN UPDATES.THIS MEANS: You must wait 1 week (7 days) between each design/update you submit.
You can still have multiple designs in queue as long as they were submitted 7+ days apart.
This only applies to NEW SUBMISSIONS (MYO or DESIGN UPDATES), so if your design/WIP is sent back and you re-submit it later, that re-submission does NOT count against your cooldown. NEWLY CREATED COMPANIONS also do not count.

ποΈMINI EVENT: DREAMS OF THE DEEP
Posted 3 months ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by CorrinBREAKING NEWS! A hole has opened up just outside Sor Solir. It is estimated it to be over 1500 meters across, reported to be filled with dark, starry water. Authorities are still investigating the nature of this anomaly. Citizens are advised to exercise caution and avoid approaching until the cause of the event can be discerned.
The depths call to you...
Mini event ends on July 31ST at 11:59 PM EDT
About a day after it was broadcasted...
Dubbed relatively safe by the city council, the oddity outside of Sor Solir has been opened to the public! Everyone with the faintest sense of adventure has come to check out the phenomenon that has been officially dubbed the Starwell. Huge crowds are drawn to the rare anomaly, and with them comes massive festive parties and pop-up shops trying to capitalize off an influx of tourism. Itβs become the seasonβs hottest new fishing spot, even though (or especially because!) the things people are reeling in are a bitβ¦ different. And then there's the dreams everyone's been talking about.
Just as soon as investigators concluded it posed no immediate danger to life around it, denizens of the Celestial Seas began flocking to the Starwell to check it out! The Starwell has become a major attraction overnight, now surrounded by colorful tents, hastily-built stands, carnival rides, performance stages, and makeshift docks. Some have even brought their own rafts and boats to go farther out on the water for better fishing, though Sor Solirβs city council has advised against diving until the Starwellβs origins are better understood.
The Starwell itself is a perfectly round disc of blue water streaked through with glowing white specks. It is 1500 meters in diameter, with a 50-meter ring of shallow water around its edge. At the end of the shallows, the Starwell drops off steeply, so deep that nobody can see the bottom. When viewed from above, it looks almost like an enormous stargate set into the ground.
Aside from the numerous parties and natural curiosity β both massive draws for any denizen of the Celestial Seas, to be sure β fishing has become an incredibly popular pastime! People have reported catching anything from strange artifacts to gigantic mutated fish.
Strangest of all, however, is that everyone whoβs seen the oddity reports having dreams of what lies within the deep waters. The dreams of those who have actually taken a dip in the Starwell are especially vivid, almost as if something is reaching out to them. There has been heavy debate as to what this could mean, but given that nobody has been hurt so far, itβs probably fine!
As this is a single-part mini event all the main content is available from the start! Though there are a few smaller updates planned to be added during the event.
Some quests are exclusive to the event. Prompts can be done with your own character or as gift art. Complete them to get game currency and special rewards!
β¦ Dreams of the Deep β¦
Swim down, down, downβ¦
β¦ The Beach Episode β¦
Friends, food, and fireworks. Enjoy the festivities surrounding the anomaly!
β¦ Gone Fishing β¦
Strange things have been spotted swimming in the Starwell. Cast your line and see what you catch!
This is a "MINIGAME" PROMPT with different mechanics to normal prompts. First you'll need to get your hands on some bait to make an attempt...
β¦ Hot Brow Summer β¦
A general summer themed prompt available until the end of August!
100% EVENT COMPLETION 1. Dreams of the Deep - Complete the prompt 1 time 2. The Beach Episode - Complete the prompt 1 time 3. Gone Fishing - Complete the prompt 3 times -OR- 1 time with 3 baits attached! 4. Hot Brow Summer - Complete the prompt 1 time as gift art Completion reward:

β ALL NEW ITEMS β
β¦ Several new items have been added for summer and the event! Click the item to be taken to it's info page.
Some are obtained from event quests, others from the shops, and a few are exclusive to crafting during the event!
TO CRAFT ITEMS YOU MUST COMPLETE THE CRAFTING QUESTLINE! Crafting isn't required for the event, but it's highly recommended that you unlock it!
β COMPANIONs β
βββ THERE IS A COMPANION SHOP DROP PLANNED FOR JUNE 26th! A post will be made in the discord when it's close to going live.
β¦ β¦ β¦
Β
β¦ A strange energy swirls within that garbage Chance was selling, and from it emerges a new life... or un-life? The Ghost Talonfish can now be hatched from the Useless Trash Pet Egg item!
β¦ Cherubuns prefer to group together and form angelic choirs, but there's the occasional odd one out that sings to a different tune. These rebels will eventually get cast out from their group and start doing their own solo thing. Uncommon cherubun's are now available!
Β
β¦ Eight companion bases have been entirely overhauled! These are the NEW common and uncommon bases for these four companion species. The old bases these are replacing are now permanently retired after this update.
You aren't required to update your old base designs, but updating to the new base is free. Just remember... You can't go back to the old base! If submitting an update the design must remain about 90% the same. (Same colors and markings but can be tweaked slightly.)
β CHANGES TO ASTREANS β
β¦ Several changes have been made to the Astrean subtype, you can read the updated info page HERE! It is still being filled out and finalized, but it should give a good idea of how they'll be handled from now on.
- Astreans are now switched over to only allowing +1 Astrean trait (+unlimited traits from the free section) with the creation of an Astrean to keep them more in line with mythic and planned legendary subtypes.
- To compensate for the above, new traits have been added/moved to the "Free Traits" section.
- You can add extra non-free Astrean traits to an Astrean character using the new Chromatic Conch item. It can be purchased at Galstrod's Goods!
- Plate Scales are no longer astrean-only, it is now a general mythic trait any browbird can obtain!
- Astreans have been updated to the NEW subtype model that we've been testing with longbulls. This allows you to change one or multiple current forms into an Astrean (essentially the same rules as before) OR add ONE new form that is just an Astrean without modifying the other forms. Check the subtype info for more details on how it works! This is still being worked on so there may be further adjustments in the future.
During the event, Astreans will also be getting a LORE DROP and visual trait references added to the guides!
β MYO slot Sale β
10 slots will be going up for sale during the mini event!
- You can read up on MYO info + prices here
- It will be a FLAT SALE RAFFLE anyone can enter
- It will be open for 24 HOURS before winners are drawn
- Winners will be announced in discord
- ALL 3 species are available for purchase
- You must be 18+ to purchase a MYO slot
- EVENT EXCLUSIVE: You will be able to purchase the new "Sparklure Antennae" ($25 each - same price as an UC trait) and the "Sluggy" traits ($30 each - same price as a peculiar) onto newly purchased and any existing [PLAT] slots. These traits can only be obtained via their SPECIFIC ITEMS otherwise!
This has a planned opening of July 10th!
β Miscellaneous β
- Remember to join the PRIDE RAFFLE if you haven't yet! The raffle and mini prompt will close at the end of JUNE!!
- Crest Guidelines have been entirely overhauled
- Raptor Feet have been updated with proper references, new options, and are now an uncommon trait, all designs with this trait have been granted +1 rare trait credit for the rarity decrease.
- WISHER'S WELL payout has been increased to 5

, up from 3 and 1 respectively.
- BUNNY MILKSHAKE can now be chosen from the Fantastic Feast item

Additionally, I'm in the process of setting up for a possible "Patreon Reward" system that will actively help support the site and the creation of events like this one, it is NOT CONFIRMED yet, and still in the early stages of planning. You can read more about some of the ideas and give feedback here!

Other Updates
β UPDATEs β
β¦ GOING FORWARD in order for any trade containing ARPG ITEMS, ARPG CURRENCY, OR A COMPANION to be approved you must have a verified account of at least a week old AND have at least 1 approved prompt on your account. Funneling and other rulebreaking trades have been cropping up more often so we hope this will curb these somewhat!
β¦ COMPANION CREATION and editing guidelines are being updated on companion eggs and editing items to allow for more freedom and some clearer editing rules. The full companion guide is still a work in progress but you can expect it at a later date.
β¦ LOOT TABLES with % chances have been added to several item descriptions.
β¦ Several traits are being condensed or in the process of being condensed. Thanks for the patience while we continue working on updating traits!
β¦ Efforts are also being made to make prompts more lenient! If you notice what's accepted being shifted around a little this is why, as we are hammering out the specific changes to make.
β¦ A new event is on the horizon...
β IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING KITCOIN! β
The Catβs Out Of The Bag: Crypto Market Collapses In Wake Of Kitcoin Boom
One day, it was booming. The next, everything crashed overnight. No one saw it coming.
No one, it seems, except for Chance himself, who withdrew 40 million stargold to an offshore account in Harara days before.The dropout-turned-crypto king has managed to orchestrate a rugpull of previously unheard scale. Through the use of his revolutionary βUFTβ Ponzi scheme, Chance was not only profiting off the work of exploited creators, but also allegedly laundering money on a truly staggering scale.
The Kitcoin entrepreneur was apprehended as he attempted to flee New Centuary last night and will be dealt with by the relevant authorities, who will attempt to prosecute for his laundry list of financial crimes.Honestly, itβs a wonder that anyone fell for this thinly veiled scam in the first place.
Happy April Fools everyone!
Soon after the news broadcast, you sense something odd about this garbage. But it's a magic you cannot access yet... You will know when it is time.

Huge thanks to Sol for prompt and item writing!

Posted 8 months ago :: Last edited 8 months ago by Sleepyβββββββββββββββββ‘β¦ βοΈ πΈ βοΈ π
Hello everyone, we hope you're having a lovely new year so far!
We have an exciting change to share. Thanks to the latest bug fixes we're able to launch a big change we've had planned! Going forward we will be having seasonal rotations live every season. Things like seasonal crafting, shops, bonuses and seasonal gift art will no longer be tied to events and instead have set times that they will open and close yearly.
The current rotational dates are as planned:
βοΈ Winter: December 1st to February 28th
πΈ Spring:March 1st - May 31st(CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT...)
βοΈ Summer: June 1st - August 31st
π Autumn: September 1st - November 30th
Though there's only a bit over a month left of winter, we will be launching these changes live today, with winter crafting, shop, and bonuses closing on

Also, as a thank you for your patience we've restocked a free winter gift, so be sure to claim that before the season ends! πΒ

Alongside this new change, we are also in the process of working on including spring as one of our seasonal rotations! There is currently a lot in development for this such as new traits and items, which involves a lot of asset art! For full transparency, due to other things being worked on, it's currently uncertain if we'll be able to have this live for this spring, but the rest of the seasonal rotations will go live as planned!
