Glub glub...

the waters of Skire warm as spring emerges... silly little guys seem to be popping up in the sands...

Click each image to enter yourself into one of our self-enter raffles. These raffles will close April 03rd @ 11:59:59 Site Time! What creatures might you find waiting?
Happy April 1st!


Meanwhile...
Uto bustles with life as the denizens of Skire move about, finally free of winter's chill. Travel and commerce across Skire is expedited by its complex magical portals, bringing people and things from every corner into to the city. Somewhere in Choice, a bit of construction begins...

"Oh, Hi..." The crook standing at the mouth of the broken portal rubs the back of their neck, a bit bothered by the interruption. They are dressed in mechanics fatigues, covered in what surely looks like years of oil and grime stains, and a hat with an old logo obscures their face some.

"Listen, if you're going to hang around, I need some help," He grumbles, shuffling in their baggy clothes a bit as they stare up at the machinery. Something about the glow of their eye beneath the brim of the cap seems familiar, but you can't quite be sure. "Seems like this portal's missing a few things... Wonder how long its been here... 

"What? a DJ? I don't know who you're talking about..." They wave off the question, opening up a bright red toolbox covered in stickers, "If you're done with the questions, why don't you stop by Grant's and get yourself a pouch to carry stuff in..."

UserGuides_ExclaimationPointSmall.png IMPORTANT UPDATES SEE BELOW

 

TRADING UPDATES

  • Beginning at the time of this announcement, all accounts created after April 01st, 2024 00:00:00 must complete one prompt to be eligible to trade items and crowns. ALL prompts that do not require character ownership are eligible.
  • This does not apply to character transfers that do not involve items.
STARTER PACK UPDATES

  • The starter pack has been phased out of the free gifts shop at the time of this announcement due unfortunately to consistent instances of exploitation. This was a problem with the original welcome box as well, and we aim to mitigate this.
  • The starter pack will be reintroduced via a yearly Standard Payout prompt with low requirements that will grant the Starter Pack as part of its rewards.
  • Users who claimed the starter pack may still do this quest upon release.
NEW ITEMS + Updates

  • 20 new trait items have been added to the website... will you discover them all...?
  • All of these items will be available via normal means later!
  • Certain items are subject to change as well!
  • New items have been updated to have different border colors and a small symbol to denote rarity. Older items will eventually be updated to use this system.



OTHER UPDATES
  • Some trait items have been updated to include more traits that they can apply! Some traits have also been adjusted so that all items only apply traits of a single rarity. Keep your eyes peeled for these items!
    • Stinger Sourpop - Addition of Insect Wings (Gravents)
    • Sappy Sweetsticks - Addition of Complex Tongue Tip (Crooks/Gravents)
    • Thorny Flower - Addition of Spiked Tentacles and Leafy Tentacles (Nautipods) 
    • Feather Duster - Addition of Particle Crowns (CCCats), Particle Tendrils (Crooks), and Particle Vent Wings(Gravents)
    • Silky Brush - Addition of Royal Feathers, Quill Feathers, Royal Vent Wings, and Royal Tail Strands (Gravents)
  • We are in the process of clarifying trait definitions! This is planned to include a comprehensive list of rules that each trait has. Hopefully this will provide more clarity when designing! We are working by species currently, and when one species is finished, the other will be started. This may take some time as we have nearly 700 traits! [Preview Here!]
  • We are reviewing crown payouts and are working on creating further guides for prompts. At this time no changes can be confirmed!
  • Trait images are completed! They are currently pending edit and upload to the site, as it is a time intensive process. Thank you for Sweet-n-treat for the amazing art!
  • Progress has begun on a questline where users will be able to earn a MYO slot and traits! This will be available regardless of ownership status and be a one-time-only quest available for completion at any time, with no time limit to do so. 
  • Crafting is being worked on! Recipes have been concepted, and past items will slowly be uploaded to the site! They will not have as much use until we can create the necessary gathering processes, prompts, and recipes! This will also include daily and weekly claims. 
  • Please welcome Muy as our newest mod! He will be assisting the team in the discord mainly but you may see him around elsewhere! We are excited to have him!
  • The Skire Scoop has been updated to a new question -- "What is your comfort food?"
  • General Store stock has been updated!
  • A new Magic Bonus button has been added to the Prompt Payout Criteria!
