• If you plan to do the challenge: pace yourself, take breaks, and remember it's meant to be fun!
• Along with day 31 granting bonus inkdrops, there will also be another way to get inkdrops after browtober concludes during our novemeber mini event so these prompts are not the ONLY source!

‼️ REMINDER ABOUT ANOMALY TRAITS - Anomalies are essentially "illegal/rulebreaking/accidental" features, strange mutations, or unclassified "pre-release" traits. They have a chance of becoming obtainable as normal traits later OR may be merged into existing traits! Keep this in mind when using them as you will NOT get any item refunds/credits for an anomaly that has a rarity change.

✦ 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 don’t 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...

✦ ITEM AVAILABILITY & FUTURE PLANS

NO ITEMS RELEASED IN THIS EVENT WILL BE PERMANENTLY RETIRING.

✦ 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!

✦ 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.

✦ 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!

✦ 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!

✦ Upcoming additions will be more slower paced and laid back for a while to give the community and staff a breather
✦ 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.
✦ 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
✦ Additionally, a large multi-month event  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.

✦ 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.

★ SPECIAL DESIGN AUCTION ★

---

✦ THERE IS AN UPCOMING SET OF GUEST DESIGNS PLANNED! There are x8 in total, keep an eye out, as this one is pretty special...

★ ASTREAN UPDATE ★

✦ The ASTREAN browbird subtype have seen a full overhaul! All their traits now have full guidelines and visual examples along with a lore drop.

ASTREANS

WELCOME NEW FULL MODERATORS!
Cypherlife, Dracula, limesparrow

 

✦ 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.

 

✦ 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.

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. It’s become the season’s hottest new fishing spot, even though (or especially because!) the things people are reeling in are a bit… 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 Solir’s city council has advised against diving until the Starwell’s 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 — both massive draws for any denizen of the Celestial Seas, to be sure — 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 who’s 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, it’s probably fine!

✦ 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!

✦ 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!

 

✦ 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.)

★ CHANGES TO ASTREANS ★

---

✦ 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!

★ UPDATEs ★

✦ 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!

✦ 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.

✦ LOOT TABLES with % chances have been added to several item descriptions.

✦ Several traits are being condensed or in the process of being condensed. Thanks for the patience while we continue working on updating traits!

✦ 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.

✦ A new event is on the horizon...
