[EVENT]🔮 Over, Under, and Through
Posted 10 months ago :: Last edited 10 months ago by spockirkcoy🔮Over, Under, and through🔮
Welcome to the May - June 2024 Over, Under, and Through Portals Event!
Portals are commonplace around Skire, used for countless reasons by countless beings around the continent. One may use them for travel, to leave their home and traverse quickly across the landscape to another city, to visit friends, pick up supplies, or simply explore. Portals of countless shapes and sizes are also key for continental commerce, driving goods of countless types through specialized portals that bring them where they need to be.
Portals can often fall into disrepair. Their space magic is upheld by infused caster speak, and like all machinery, they wear down over time. Wires come loose, conduits fall apart, and molding metal rusts, meaning Skire is littered with portals that have long-forgotten uses. Many seek to repair these portals simply out of curiosity to see where they go. Some are even employed for their upkeep.
A portal may be built by a single person, or used by a community, company, hive, or other group. Many build their homes around these landmarks for ease of movement across Skire.
Travel! There are many interesting places to explore around Skire... Where will you go?
Prompts do not need to be completed in order.
🔮Must be completed once within the event period in order to claim the completion badge.
Draw or write about an Official Skire Character (Yours, someone else's, or an NPC) travelling through a portal.
- Does your character regularly travel through portals?
- Do they stumble upon one on accident, or find something mysterious or broken?
- Where do they end up? Draw them in a new biome or location.
- Do they avoid portals for any reason? Explore their thoughts on travel around skire.
Portals are an integral part of daily life across the continent. How does it effect your life?
Prompts do not need to be completed in order.
🔮Must be completed once within the event period in order to claim the completion badge.

Happy April 1st!
Meanwhile...
"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..."
[Scavenger Hunt available throughout April. Ends April 30, 2024 @ 23:59:59]
REMINDER! Please do not spoil the hunt. You may request help and hints from other users, but sharing direct answers, links, or hints that are too obvious are not allowed in chat.
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!

OPENING Guide
Welcome everyone! Its been a lot of hard work from the team since this new website's conception to get this up and going, but we are ready for our first wave of ARPG testing! Please check out the guide below for what is currently available to complete!
Hello and thank you guys endlessly for the kind words, excitement, and of course patience with us as we got to work with the ARPG!
We are so excited to be able to unveil the start of what we hope to be multiple parts of the release for the ARPG and features for the site!
There’s a lot of details below about what is coming in this first part later in this announcement and what we hope to be working on next, along with some other small things. It’s really exciting, and I'm so thankful to the team and members who helped contribute everything they have to make this a reality!
As a reminder, this is going to be the first part of the ARPG so it is quite limited compared to what we hope will be the full picture later as we progress. Consider it like the first true beta test round for the ARPG I think! However, as previously mentioned, there aren’t any plans to remove progress or wipe any progress during this unless there is a potential bug or site feature that breaks and does something completely unintended, but that is unlikely. Knocking on wood of course omg…
BUT for now, I just want to give everyone who helped out as well as all the people who have been excited for everything my utmost appreciation and gratitude. There’s a lot that has changed since the initial concept of the ARPG, but I’m really excited for what is becoming real and the plans we have and options available to us as we go forward. It’s a new experience for me overall, and I’ve been having a fun time learning and I aim to keep doing so as we continue onward with more! Slowly but surely, the site and ARPG as a whole has been expanding with lots of new things and possibilities, and I cannot wait to see where things go!
- WellHidden

We aim to roll more mainstay prompts with time, and are in active development of more! Payout values are also subject to change. If you participated in the alpha you may have noticed that they have changed a lot! The team believed that this system was more complex than necessary, and wanted to start smaller, so that numbers felt like they had more weight to them when earned, and adding up payout values could be made easier to undertsand.
Payout guide
All prompts listed as "Standard Payout" Will have a calculator attatched that will help you calculate payour rewards. These payouts have a chance of changing over time! With this first release, we aim to test how they go!

OTHER UPDATES and what comes next
SITE CURRENCY / ITEM TRADING
You may trade/transfer any item that you own that is not marked as account bound. All trades require admin approval
Item Trades:
- Transfers of Skire Club currency ("Crowns") or items to other individuals should only be done if obtaining art or something Skire.club related. (Examples being: a Skire character or items able to be obtained on Skire.Club).
- You may trade your Crowns and Skire items for art (including art dolls, badges, plushes, and other physical work), Skire Characters, or other Skire items. MYO Slot items cannot be traded under any circumstance. You may determine your price in crowns for items or art, and it does not have to adhere to onsite standard pricing. Art does not have to be Skire themed, but all other trades must be Skire related. Items and currency cannot be traded for non-Skire characters.
- Individuals may not sell or purchase Crowns or Skire Club items for real-life money or currency by any means. This rule excludes characters or MYO Slot items that have resale values listed. Skire characters are not considered an item such as trait tickets, trait items, crafting items, etc. If this rule is found to be broken at any point a ban may be made on-site and in Skire community spaces.
- Crowns and Skire Club items cannot be exchanged for real-life goods such as gift cards, games, attire, etc. by any means. Crowns however may be exchanged by users for custom handmade crafts such as character plushes, character physical artwork, etc.
- Crowns and Skire Club items can be exchanged to others as gifts, however exploitation of multiple accounts to obtain Crowns or items is prohibited, and can result in the revoking of items obtained unfairly and a ban to the offending accounts. You may not utilize multiple accounts under any circumstance, especially to generate items via free gifts, or any other means of exploiting the ARPG System.
- Improper listing of a "gift" in order to circumvent any of the above rules is strictly prohibited and may result in a ban on-site and in the Skire community.
- You are required to use the onsite Item Trades function when creating trades. Please provide sufficient proof of terms via image links, detailed lists, etc. Trades will be rejected if proof of their terms are insufficient.
- Parties involved in trades must both approve the trade twice. Please make sure your trade partner attaches the correct items. Users are responsible for managing their trade's completion, and the Skire admin team cannot reverse trades.
- You may offer commissions for crowns/items at your own preferred pricing. You may also gift items or crowns, but must specify this when trading.
-
If we are made aware of multi-accounting, any items transferred will be removed from the account, and all accounts involved are at risk of a ban. Multi-Accounting is against the rules and the spirit of the ARPG. BY CREATING TRADES YOU AGREE TO THESE RULES.

[Update] General Rules, ToS, & Privacy Policy update!
Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by WellHiddenHello everyone!
For those unaware the goal was set to release the first snippet of the Skire.club ARPG around January 14th!
I think we're still set for this though of course any potential delay will be notified likely on the Skire discord server.
In preperation for the upcoming ARPG there have been some updates to our site and community Rules, ToS, and Privacy Policy to ensure individual safety and proper usage of the site.
With the update we ask you please be sure to read through as usage of the site and participation in the Skire community requires agreement to these!
As a reminder, this upcoming release will only be part 1 of expected multiple parts for full release to come gradually.
The first part will be testing small parts of larger site functions, currency values, the first four basic mentors, and some mainstay prompts.
We hope to obtain feedback regarding these things and see what we can do with them overall to expand! We have a number of things planned regarding these that may not come in part 1 but are slated to come in the future.
This is essentially going to be the start of "beta" for things and changes are to be continuously made as we watch and experience how things go!
It is not expected that a "rollback" or wiping of anything earned during this time will be necessary even if large changes are made, however if something is done accidentally through testing or usage of new site features that results in unintended behavior or a bug then corrections may be made in case!
You may see further updates notified on-site and on the CCCat discord server as the day gets closer for ARPG release and after release in case!
Thank you guys!!
