Festival of the Day is winding down...but it seems the festivities are still going? Stay tuned for more, but in the meantime, this is an IMPORTANT REMINDER that there are still some events ongoing.

• Festival Secret Santa closes within the next 24 hours. Enter it here! The first secret santa round yielded some absolutely amazing designs.
• Festival of the Night continues until the end of February. While it's optional to do fully rendered pieces, any time you do one, you will receive a Chronocompass! As you can choose who goes on these Expeditions and have the chance to meet some interesting critters, I highly encourage folks to complete them! You also get the usual rewards of Silver Tickets and SC for new giftees. Apollo's shop remains open throughout the year!
• Festival Advent also continues until the end of February. If you missed too many days, you can use Silver Tickets to zoom through them. There are some pretty amazing rewards this year!

In addition, here are some small updates before the big February one.

New Mods

There are three new design mods! Everyone please welcome Doom, Zincwolf, and MilkRat~

Crafting Restoration

The crafting page has finally been updated to be legible! You can now easily find recipes and choose which buffs to use. It appears there is a new crafting buff as well? What on earth could that be...? Once someone unlocks one of these buffs, a fully detailed update will go out! The only exceptions to the crafting restoration are large and small jewelry, which would be better to add when they have their own art. You can use Claims to craft them in the meantime!

New Items

Two new familiars and a den item have been added! That gryphon hatchling seems to be a little special...

Hatchery Quest Adjustments

This is to make it more in line with group activities, provide more options for storytelling, and so on. Mostly the 'more options' part.

• Only three prompts are needed instead of 4.
• Wordcount now matches normal AR requirements.
• You may complete the prompts in any order.
• All users receive rare eggs from quests, whether or not it is their first quest.
• You may select from 8 different prompts. 4 are new!

To view the new prompts, check out the Hatchery Quest! It is open to both new and old members and grants a free dragon egg once per month.

Design Updates

• The hole in Zebra for the snout may be a gradient instead of solid; It is also optional now.
• Ancient text regarding item count on the debris page has finally been removed.
• Charged Flight Bars may now be asymmetrical.
• Striped now has two visual examples of its Tabby form! Thank you Doom and Zaxarie!

Egg Roller Update

The Eggrolls have been less spicy than usual. While it could be attributed to bad luck, it's much more likely that past rolls were good luck. Because everyone loves spicy eggrolls, the roller has been updated to be more consistent. Rare, Ultra-rare, and Legendary eggs all have an increased chance of traits. Ultra-rare eggs have +1 minimum trait and Legendaries have +2 minimum traits. As this is a straight-up buff, there will be no vote to decide whether or not to keep the old one. Eggs posted prior to February cannot be rerolled. Eggs posted on or after February 1st use the new roller.

As always, players are encouraged to check out the RNG themselves! There are now a few comments and color codes to help with this.

Miscellaneous Updates

• The yearly threads have turned over. Please make sure to update your bookmarks!
• Hatchery Achievements have been added to the game! You receive one for donating and one for having your donated design adopted and uploaded. Good luck all <3 !
• An error in which the Intermediate String recipe with the Master Tailor buff required 1 fleece instead of 2 has been fixed.
