Reminder!~
Site Update
Remember, you have just a little over 24 hours to snag the limited-edition clothing sets inspired by this month's festivities!
You can find these stocking in the GP Shop, BP Shop, Premium Outlet and Trash for Treasure!
October 31st is the final day of the Giant Cauldron! But be sure to hang onto your Ornate Cauldron even if you don't manage to snag a pet from the bubbly brew, as we will be turning it into a goodie bag of sorts. :3
Also, be sure to grab the Advent prize on the 31st! It won't be openable quite yet, but you'll probably want what's inside when the magic is ready. *wink*
And don't forget to enter our standard monthly contests for BP and GP Shop pets, as well as the custom game giveaway!
Be sure to check out Slash's pretty post below for some neat, spooky pet/art finds from your peers!

Facelift
Site Update
The Purchase GP and Premium page has gotten a little facelift with some new graphics. A lot of other pages have gotten similar graphics too, so look out for them in the next couple of weeks!
Some small notes:
- Our paypal script was changed. You probably won't notice the difference (though the review feature is cool!), but we definitely like it better!
- The "Mystery Item" is the same for every user and outputs automatically. It is also one per purchase.
- Later today, the paintbrushes will be scripted to be given out automatically. Woo!

Giant Cauldron Creaking
Site Update
Have you heard any noises coming from the Giant Cauldron room lately?
Something tells me it's about to awaken...
(Personal spooky custom owned by myself and Dew!)
Bubbling over with magic, the Giant Cauldron has the power to produce 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 for 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 Ornate 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, 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.
Things to keep in mind!
- You can only create ONE custom from the cauldron, so choose wisely.
- 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 27th - October 31st, 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 Ornate Cauldron will be turned into an openable goodie bag after Halloween! 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.
Every recipe will require one Ornate Cauldron and a random number of different plants from the garden.
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; keep that in mind. :3
Good luck!
