This week's raffle crystal winner is:
~17brewer~ (#18576)
Who had 6 crystals out of 22,152 total and won a Blue Crystal Talisman!
Next week's prize: Finn Egg
I also have a couple of small updates for you guys!
Haunted House: Yasu is still trying to address issues with Explore and Adventure/Battledome. I assure you that we'll open these features back up as soon as we can.
Scav Prizes: I am now handling effort prizes. Slash gave me his list and we've started moving forward on that today! If you are in tiers 2-4 and are waiting on regular game prizes, never fear, I've forced pulled some other staff members to help out with prize distribution, so those should be coming through at a more efficient pace.
Metal Event Payments: Don't worry, we didn't forget about these! You can check out the progress here.
Risk! .. will be making a return appearance next week.
I will also be throwing some customs back into the Cauldron soon, but I don't want to fill it with too many until adventure returns. So, yes, it's been a bit quiet on purpose.
Thanks for all your patience and understanding, everyone!
Last but not least, here are the winners for the October customs!

Art Gallery
Site Update

They won:
This week's theme is NPCs! Have fun. :3
FYI: Staff has been testing the Adventure/Battledome system and we hope to be re-releasing those features for everyone soon!
I have been absolutely inundated with messages regarding the auction system, so I also wanted to reassure you that this is a priority in Yasu's list of fixes this week.
And, finally, make sure you read the important announcement below this if you haven't already.

Slash - Hiatus
Site Update
Good evening, folks!
I have an important, short and sweet announcement that I want everyone to read carefully. As of today, Slash is taking a well-deserved hiatus from the site for an undetermined amount of time (hey, running Aywas for twenty-four hours, seven days a week for over two years has to earn you a little vacation time, right?). He is not disappearing or leaving and we will continue to be in contact through the duration of his hiatus. Similarly, he will still be handling payments, Melo Figurines, and other goodies in the background.
In the meantime, I will be running things for him--yes, that means I have access to coders, artists, etc.--and will be using my staff to its full potential in order to keep things running as smoothly as possible. There really won't be any noticeable day-to-day change and I'm always a message away if you have a question or concern!
Lastly, remember to please be mindful and respectful. I understand that this will be a bit jarring, but I won't tolerate abrasive comments.
*rubs hands together* Now, let's see what we can get done! I've got a lot of fixes planned for Yasu's to-do list, so
I'll see how much torture he can take. Rebel hasn't been in contact with us recently, but we're hoping it will be soon since I have plenty for him to tackle as well.
Thanks for your understanding!

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

And I have one more quick announcement for you!
Make sure that you are visiting the Advent Calendar each day for some early Halloween treats!

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!
