CHECK TICKETS

★ RAFFLE GUIDELINES:
✦ Free raffle designs and designs made from raffle MYO slots cannot be traded or sold! You may gift them to someone else OR return them to staff to be re-raffled.

✦ If you win a PREMADE DESIGN (browbird, kitbull, painted satyr) you will be on cooldown and unable to enter for the next FREE PREMADE DESIGN
✦ If you win a MYO SLOT you will be on cooldown and unable to enter for the next MYO SLOT
✦ Cooldowns mentioned above expire after the next raffle of the same type only! You can still enter for other stuff, you just can't win a design or MYO slot twice in a row!
✦ Winning a companion/game item does not place you on cooldown.
✦ You can win once per raffle
✦ Game items won (aside from MYO slots) are not account bound unless specified and can be traded for anything C-S related (c-s art, c-s items, etc!)

Raffles will be decided by each winner's priority pick! Ex: If you are rolled first and pick prize #4, you get prize #4. Winners will be required to contact Corrin via discord within 48 hours of winning!

‼️ Winners will be edited onto this post and announced on discord when drawn, so be sure to check back! If we don't hear from you, you'll be rerolled!

★ NEW & UPDATED TRAITS ★

---

✦ NEW!

• The above traits were features previously not allowed or had uncertain availability. They have been officially added for use in this update OR will have their specific items released in the future in the case of item-only traits!

✦✦✦

✦ FULLY UPDATED!

Summary of what has been changed:

• Faux wings sizing has been increased and they can now have 2 sets max. Info and examples have also been added
• Embellished mask coverage has been clarified, there are now more options for styles/textures (ex: wood trims instead of metal are now be possible!) AND stitching has been added! Examples have been updated.

✦✦✦

✦ MISC TRAIT ADJUSTMENTS

• Grove Serpent Wings for painted satyrs have had their information better clarified
• Sea tail has been added back to Elder Apple traits for kitbulls
• All painted satyr flora have had their descriptions updated to clarify sizing and coverage. This should allow for more variety! More flora types can also be placed on the mask now.
• Rare satyr patch wording and examples have been adjusted to allow a bit more variety
• More updates to traits are coming! Thank you for the patience with asset creation and trait info!

‼️ 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.

★ Miscellaneous ★

---

• The GLASS BERRY companion item use has been updated. It now allows you to fully recolor the companion. You may entirely redo or change all colors and/or markings. Check item for details!
  
  
• Due to issues with the BIRTHDAY GIFT item appearing for players when it is not their birthday OPENING IT has been disabled until the issue is fixed.
• ‼️ TO OPEN YOUR GIFT: Please send in a CLAIM with your birthday gift box attached and you will be granted the item drops + roll listed on the gift.
  ‼️ NOTE: If the obtained date and your account's birthday are not within a week of each other the gift will be removed from your account, as it was obtained by mistake due to a bug! If you do not receive the birthday gift item in the week surrounding your birthday please let us know!
  
  
• HEADS UP: the new traits/items/etc and other adjustments may need additional tweaks as time goes on, so anticipate changes as we see how the new stuff pans out.
