Something tells me it'll be awakening soon...
(Personal spooky customs owned by myself and Dew!)
The Giant Cauldron sat quiet and still, covered in cobwebs and dust that had accumulated over the last year. Seemingly untouched by the October magic floating around Ay and Ara, to the unfamiliar eye the cauldron could be dismissed as a relic of the past, but to those who were willing to take a closer look, the cauldron's true enchantment would be revealed.
The Giant Cauldron has the power to create unique custom pets, and one of them could be yours if you're a skillful brewer!
Here's how things work!
(If you're a cauldron veteran, this will sound very familiar, but if you're a newer player, you'll want to read up since this feature is unique to October. :3)
- a random custom's image will appear on the Cauldron page and remain there for ~30 minutes.
- during that time, there will be a line of text that gives you a hint about what the upcoming recipe will be that's needed to create the custom. The recipe will use plants from the Witch's Garden. It will look something like this:
It is currently unknown how to make this pet, but it requires 4 different plants.
(Note: The Antique Cauldron will count as one of the ingredients/"plants." This item is required for every cauldron recipe.)
- when ~30 minutes has elapsed, refresh and the required ingredients will be displayed, like this:
To create this pet, you need this recipe:
- similar to Frankenstein's Lab and Rowan's Potion Brewing, you can hover over the item images to see how many of each are required. However, since the cauldron deals in custom pets and not site colors, this is a first-come, first-serve feature; if you are the first person to successfully turn in all of the required ingredients, you will receive the custom as a new pet in your lair.
- once a custom is claimed, either a new one will show up and the 30 minute timer will begin again, or the cauldron will take a little break ("The cauldron is quiet. There is nothing to mix tonight.").
Things to keep in mind!
- You can only create ONE custom from the cauldron per account, so choose wisely.
- Again, if you see a message that says the cauldron has gone quiet, that means it's taking a break. We'll do our best to fill the cauldron with customs at various hours to hit all timezones.
- There will be 50 pets total put into the cauldron between October 29th - November 2nd, working out to roughly 10 per day. Pets will be put in at random times, and not necessarily all one after the other.
- We'll run the Cauldron until we exhaust our stash, and I will make an announcement when it is officially empty.
- The Antique Cauldron will be turned into an openable goodie bag after Halloween/November 2nd. So even if you don't manage to snag a custom with the help of one, you'll still get some treats!
Remember, you can only claim ONE custom, so choose wisely.
Again, every recipe will require one Antique Cauldron and a random number of different plants from the garden.
The cauldron doesn't open until tomorrow (the 29th), but I wanted to give you this information ahead of time.
The Giant Cauldron is a fun custom giveaway tradition that we'd like to keep going every year, so please be sportsmanlike about it. It's a bonus for our October festivities finale, not the focus; please keep that in mind. :3
Good luck!

Ive been here for several years, this is the first Ive heard of this, but phew it sounds too hard, or maybe Im making it harder then it is. I dont care for the first come first served, so will just pass. Good luck to those playing :)

I wonder how many people will even have plants left over from scrambling to get potions.
