Spooky Spectacular!
Site Update
You survived 31 days of October on Aywas, congratulations!
As a reward for your accomplishment, our famous Pumpkin Patch King has opened the Seasonal Shop doors!
Let's take a stroll through the shop and see what goodies await!
Oh, and if you hear any music drifting through the store, do your best to drown it out--it seems there are sirens afoot, and they will trick you into wandering away from our marvelous wares. D:
If your pet doesn't want to be alone at night, the Petrified Starfish, Will o the Wisp or Wide Eyed Owl might just be the companion they need to sleep safe and sound!
Hopefully you are drowning in bags of candy or maybe have been dining on some Halloween-inspired dishes. But if you're like me and missed out on trick-or-treating, our new edibles might interest you. :3 We have a Spoopy Potato and Love Pumpkin stocking in the Seasonal Shop, while our Love Blood Oranges are a permanent addition to the site and are stocking in Energy Dishes.
I can slay food pretty easily, but if you're after a more substantial achievement, especially after having braved the Haunted Lake for a month, I recommend the Nautical Monsters book. This item will unlock the forum title/achievement "Kraken Slayer."
Itching to try out some new potions on your pets and see what happens? We have a brand new set of three lighthouse-themed potions that all contain exclusive colorations; your pet will be transformed into one at random. The Classic Lighthouse Vial contains 3 possibilities, the Striped Lighthouse Vial contains 5 rare pet options, and the Foggy Lighthouse Vial contains 6 hybrid pets. Each item has the possible pet outcomes listed in their respective descriptions if you'd like to look them up, but I won't post them in case you'd like to be completely surprised. :3
To help you fight everything from monsters under the bed to foes in Adventure, we have three water-inspired weaponry items for you to choose from. The Siren's Harp offers a power bonus, the Beeswax is a defense/toughness item, and the Tricky Triangle will help you be a speed demon. They also offer various resistance levels, so be sure to check out the descriptions for full stat details.
Many of you have already been sporting spooky outfits all month, but we have two additional trunks to feed your HA addictions! The Black Cat Trunk contains 5 pieces to turn your HA into a Black Cat, while Rowan's Trunk will give you the 9 items needed to pull off the NPC's look! Check out the previews here.
This year, our new breeding admins wanted to reintroduce you to some of our old favorite breeding add-ons--though they might look brand new if you've joined recently! Rowan's Magic Hat, the Ghostly Book, and Cursed Waters are now stocking in the shop. See their item descriptions and the Knowledge Base for full details.
The original shopkeeper has returned!
Once again, we have the Pumpkin Patch Potion custom creator available for you to snag.
As usual, you can use this item to upload a custom of our Soli shopkeeper up there with up to 30% edits. If you like the default image, you are also welcome to simply upload that version.
(Click the image above to download the PSD.)
In addition to our beloved Soli, we would also like to introduce you to two brand new shopkeepers for the 2015 season!
Opterix | Plio
(Click the above images to download their respective PSDs.)
To create a shopkeeper Opterix or Plio custom, you will need the Caped Potion.
You have up to 30% of edit room. Like all of our shopkeepers, if you want to create a custom with the default image provided above, you are more than welcome to. :3
Now, what else do I have in my treat bag here? Something seems to be squirming around in here...
Oh, but of course! You didn't think I forgot about the pets did you?
There are 24 standalone pets for you to snag from the Seasonal Shop.
But, if you're a little low on pumpkins, we have a potion that can help you out.
The Bewitched Bottle can be found in Trash for Treasure and will randomly transform your active pet into one of the 2015 October Seasonal Shop pets (aka, any one of the 24 pets you can individually purchase).
You might also notice the above bottle sitting pretty in the Trash for Treasure shop as well. This item--the Haunted Lake Potion--will randomly transform your active pet into one of the colorations from the Haunted Lake this year!
Psst. We have a contest for the Haunted Lake background (day version) wrapping up tonight. So that probably means that there's another batch of Adventure pets still to be released; all of those will be included in the Haunted Lake potion as well. :3
The Seasonal Shop will be open through November 9th at 11:59 p.m.
Rowan's Potion Brewing and Cauldron details will be announced separately. We're still finalizing a few things on the Cauldron and anticipate opening it next weekend as part of our closing finale. I'll give you plenty of info ahead of time! n_n
I will be posting a separate announcement with a final timeline on all of our festivities, but rest assured you pretty much have at least a week still on the fall features.
Don't forget to visit our friendly Full Moon Lunaris at the Advent Calendar tomorrow, November 2nd, for a final advent gift--until it reopens in December!
Enjoy the goodies!

PMBC alert!
Site Update
The PMBC queue is scheduled to run out of breedings in approximately a week and a half. It's finally gotten over the Mayday submissions! Let's make sure those artists don't run out of assignments to do, shall we?
Until 11/2, 11:59 PM, every purchase of $25 will come with a free PMBC. For GP, this is instant (note that $25 = 26 GP). For USD items, send me a message with the total of your purchase to redeem your PMBC(s).
Keep the artists busy!
Want a little preview of what we've been doing? Our programmer is busy recoding the breeding section of Aywas so that add-ons are locked to their compatible coins, meaning you'll never attach the wrong add-on again!

Frankenstein's Lab
Site Update
Visit the lab to create pet projects with everything from Spooky Seashells to Glow in the dark Grins. Hover over each item to learn what quantities you'll need to create a particular pet.
There are 12 lab pets for you to breathe life into, but here's a small sampling of what you'll be able to craft:
The lab will be open for approximately two weeks, so you will have plenty of time to nab the creatures you desire. :3
Enjoy!

Museum Collection
Site Update
A new Museum Collection has appeared!
Our curator now seems to be looking for the following 10 gatherables from the Haunted Lake:
In exchange for them, you will receive a Dusty Cauldron:
You will need this item to participate in our Cauldron custom feature, which will be opening during the last days of the month. If you are not able to claim a custom from the feature, don't worry! The Dusty Cauldron will be transformed into an "openable" goodie bag item for you to enjoy. :3 More details about the Cauldron custom feature will be revealed as we near the end of the month.
The museum curator isn't the only one after your Haunted Lake gatherables...
Yasu's tinkering around in Frankenstein's Lab, so I will let you know as soon as it's completely up and running! *u* Get your science gloves ready!
