*Burps*.
Okay, my stomach feels a bit less empty but it's no where near enough. I've lowered the tier unlock requirements for the Appetizer Raffle and the Big Feast Raffle! The Appetizer raffle has unlocked two tiers and the Big Feast raffle has unlocked one so far.
Keep on sending! The raffles will only be open for another week.

Rowan's Knowledge Base & Potion Brewing!
Site Update
"Oh gosh I'm sorry, where did my manners scamper off to? I'm Rowan, and I am so delighted to meet you!" Her cheerfulness seemed to be bubbling over as she bobbed excitedly in the air, broomstick dutifully in tow.
"I'm new in this area, though I'm picking up things pretty quickly! I'd absolutely love to sit down and chat with you about your adventures, but I have two pretty important announcements to make, so I'll drop by later to catch up with you, promise!" Nodding quickly, she then fell silent, focusing on what must've been some sort of spell. Just then, a small cloud of purple smoke exploded in her hands and began to part, revealing an aged brown book.
It floated above her fingertips, then magically flipped open, its pages fluttering though there was no breeze.
"I made this for you guys! I hope you like it, I've been working really hard on putting it together. It still needs some work, but the great thing about magic is that more pages will appear any time we need them, and we can rewrite anything without needing an eraser! I'm particularly proud of that last part."
Introducing the Knowledge Base!
Aywas is a complex game with a lot of unique features and policies that you don't find on other sites, so it can be a difficult adjustment for new uses, and all of the information is hard for even veteran users to keep up with at times. The Knowledge Base helps us out by functioning as a centralized location for information, guides, FAQs, etc. If this doesn't excite you enough, here's some additional perks:
- the KB can be edited by any staff member, ensuring efficient progress, accuracy, and consistent maintenance.
- the date that the article was last edited on is displayed at the top, so you can see how up-to-date something is at quick glance.
- articles have tags, so they can be grouped by category and therefore easier to find.
- there's a built-in search specific to the knowledge base, so you can look for a key term or phrase and pull up related articles that can hopefully answer your question!
The Knowledge Base is a work in progress, but staff has truly dedicated a ton of time to putting it together and will be working our tails off to make it as comprehensive as possible. We have some articles that are incomplete, some that still need to be added, and quite a bit of polishing to do, but there is a LOT of information currently in the KB that answers plenty of everyday questions, so we wanted to make it available to you now. :3
We have also created a Knowledge Base Think Tank thread for all your KB-related feedback!
This is your resource, so tell us what you want to see in it!
If you would like to author an article for the Knowledge Base, you can do that as well.
We are currently taking Knowledge Base Submissions. Read more here about how we add articles and what's in it for you!
"I have one more thing to show you for the evening! I've been experimenting with some new potions all month, and I think they're finally ready for you to try out. Please let me know what you think! (They're a set of herbal specials, and use all local ingredients.)"
Our new seasonal crafting feature, Rowan's Potion Brewing, is now open!
Here's a quick guide to what each new potion does:
Awakening Essence: Heals 25% of HP.
Crimson Cordial: Will change your active pet into one of 4 exclusive colorations.
Witch's Tea: Works like the Hash Brownie, only your energy is unlimited for 5 minutes.
Banish Brew: Repels monsters for 100 steps in Adventure.
Potion of Transportation: Small chance of yielding a Scroll of Transportation!
Fertility Brew: Small chance of yielding a Fertility Potion!
Transformation Potion: Will change your active pet into any site coloration of your choice.
Recolor Potion: An enchanted, potent tea that will allow you to completely recolor a Gen 1 custom you own. You cannot change, add, or remove lines or anything that would otherwise alter the edit %; the item is for coloring changes only. Overlay only. Cannot be used on site pets or offspring. *Before using this item, please be mindful of any rules that may apply to your custom (such as from the artist, previous owner, etc.*
The potion brewing feature uses herbs gathered from the Witch's Garden, so make sure you're collecting those plants!
(The herbs will also be used in the Giant Cauldron feature, opening next weekend.)
We hope you enjoy Rowan's debut surprises! She's been itching to show you these. :)
