Welcome to November!
Site Update
Welcome to the month of November!
As the seasons change, these GP Shop pets will be by your side--from baking to reading to growing old.
And our BP Shop pets aren't fair weather friends only either!
If you colored one of these fun pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so you no longer have to send them in. However, please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-November) so we have time to snag 'em for science!
Looking for a refreshing change from all that candy? The Essence of November 2015 could whet your whistle!
This fig inspired potion will transform your active pet into one of the monthly colorations above at random.
The premium monthly item will be revealed soon!
Have a party, it's your birthday!
The Beaver Moon Lunaris you see above will be reigning over the skies through the entire month of November; a new Lunaris will take over on December 1st.
Don't forget to check out the birthday link to claim your gift from Aywas on your big day! Need to change your birthday? Click here! Missed your birthday Lunaris or picked up the wrong one? Contact Kyu (#1010)!
The new monthly contests have been announced!
December Monthly Pets - BP Shop: Enter
December Monthly Pets - GP Shop: Enter
December Monthly Customs
Theme: Antlers
Good luck with your entries!
The Nova custom creators remain in the BP/GP Shops for November and will pop back into the Premium Outlet for December before cycling back to BP/GP in January and February.
Nuts 'n Bolts Nook
A monthly update from behind the scenes.
In addition to continuing our fall festivities, we will also be doing NaNoWriMo activities once again!
If you are participating and have already started, keep an eye out for the Aywas version opening soon. *wink*
Much of this month will also be preparing for more upcoming holidays, so be on the lookout for ways to participate in that as well. n_n
Cheers!

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!
