Have at 'em! You can only collect one pet per 30 minutes, so hopefully they'll last longer this time.

Halloween Features
New Feature
Great job on unlocking the Halloween features! While the Haunted House and the Battledome may be under some construction while we address the lag issue, here are some tidbits about the other new features.
Garden
In the Garden you'll find various witch brew plants growing. The garden tells you which ones are in the process of growing so you can know when to come back to the page and check later. You'll want to grab as many as you can (though there are limits on harvesting) as you'll be needing them in the Giant Cauldron.
Giant Cauldron
This is where customs are born! Hundreds of Halloween customs are lined up in the Giant Cauldron. You'll need to collect plants from the Garden to get the recipes, though, so you'll want to start harvesting. You'll always need a cauldron to do it - either a Special Cauldron (r100) or an Empty Cauldron (r5).
Empty and Special
Common pets require an Empty Cauldron and 3 plants as ingredients (in various amounts), uncommon pets require an Empty Cauldron and 4 plants as ingredients, hybrids require a Special Cauldron and 5 plants as ingredients, and rares require a Special Cauldron and 6 plants as ingredients.
Frankenstein's Lab
This is where you can create some really awesome looking site pets by combining items found in the Haunted House. Common pets require three items in various amounts, uncommons require four, hybrids require five, and rares require six.
You can see the recipes you can attempt by viewing the page, then you can select one you'd like to try.
Treasure Chests
Chests were a little derped with people opening them without keys. Soon as they're fixed and reset, you'll be able to obtain ONE key by finishing the Haunted House's quests and battling the monster boss at the end. Then, you get to try your luck on one of the chests... you could win big, or small... but you'll win something!
Happy haunting!

Lag Issue * UPDATE *
Site Update
Hey guys!
As most of you are aware of, the site lag has gotten pretty annoying =/ In order for me to help determine what's causing the lag, I will be disabling a few areas of the site. If you happen to access a page that says it's under maintenance, just check back in a minute or two.
*** UPDATE ***
We have started to disable multiple scripts on the site to see if we can pin point which ones are causing the lag on the site. The Adventure, Battle, Battledome, and Explore systems will be disabled temporary until we figure out which one of them is slowing the site. As we determine which are doing what, we will enable them one by one and hopefully rid ourselves of this lag problem =/
As well, we intend on disabling other scripts around the site to see how much much more the site improves with them down. Those scripts will be re-enabled soon after we have completed out tests.

Stage 2
Site Update
You're all bound to move onto Stage 2 shortly...
Why not acclimate yourself to the Battledome? You'll be needing it soon!
Enjoy!
There are monsters between all of you and the Halloween features. You won't let that get in your way, will you? Kill 'em!

Call for Artists!
Site Update
Hey everyone, I think you can pretty well guess what this newspost is for! That's right, another one of my 'we're looking for artists' posts. This one is a little different than normal, though, and for several reasons.
First off, we're looking for more than just LBC or BC artists for now (though we really do need these as well!). I'll get to that in a minute however.
I know that school is in full-swing for many users on Aywas, yet if you have the free time to dedicate to breeding, we're looking for people who can do LBC and BC breedings! LBC pays 5 GP per baby, and BC pays 10 GP per baby. The time constraints for LBC is 10 pairs in 10 days, and BC is 10 pairs in 14 days, making it about an average of 1 LBC pair per day, or 1 BC baby per day (if you schedule it out). Currently we do offer cash incentives for finishing work faster (while still keeping within the realm of quality) up to a certain dollar amount (discussed upon potential hire). As for contract LBC/BC artist, we currently have a waiting list for these so we aren't offering them at this moment, though if you are interested in earning cash as a dedicated contract artist you may include that in an application to be considered if feasible in the future.
It has always been a question as well if people may apply for half-lists, meaning half of the above work instead of a full list. After some consideration (and because of some people's time constraints again), we are also offering Half List positions for a limited time. For a Half List LBC breeder, you would take on 5 pairs every 7 days, and for a Half List BC breeder you would take on 5 pairs every 10 days. If this interests any applicant be sure to label your application as such when you apply, so I know that you are looking for the option for less work. For Half List breeders you are not eligible for cash incentives, keep this in mind!
Now, onto the other positions! We are not only looking for BC and LBC artists, but also MBC and RBC artists! We have a huge backlog of Metal breedings and Radioactive breedings so I made up applications for those as well. Each application has the terms for applying on them. MBC pays 5 GP per breeding with the same workload as LBC, and RBC pays 5 GP per mutant/10 GP per 'normal' baby, with a quota of 20 pairs per 10 days. A similar cash incentive is offered for these two positions (discussed upon potential hire).
To apply for any of the above positions, please check the Breeding Chat forum and check over all of the stickied applications.

LBC Artist Application
MBC Artist Application
RBC Artist Application
All applications are to be emailed to [email protected]. I hope to see many new faces on the team soon! If anyone has any questions don't hesitate to email the above email or PM me on site (or comment on this newspost!).
And don't forget to check the fun new stuff Slash added for October below this post! :]
