Ay vs. Ara Seasonal Shop!

Site Update

store-npc-21.png
When two worlds collide... there are awesome prizes!
The Ay vs. Ara Seasonal Shop is now open!
And hopefully you took my warning seriously, because I slashed a lot of the prices.

On that note, prices are based on average overall point totals and were designed so that everyone at every tier can take home something fun and valuable without anyone running away with a crazy game-changing advantage.

We have a lot of new items to take a look at, so let's begin with an Aywas staple--potions!
magic_aypotion.pngmagic_arapotion.png
Above is the Ay Potion and Ara Potion. Each contains four exclusive pets native to its region!
That means when you use the Ara Potion, for example, your pet will randomly be changed into one of four specific Ara pets that you cannot buy in the shop! Here's one pet from each potion (you can find the others in the Aywapedia):

Hopefully these colorations look somewhat familiar to you, considering what they're based on! *wink*


magic_worldscollidepotion.png
Here we have the Worlds Collide Potion, which contains all of the buyable Ay vs. Ara Seasonal Shop pets. If you don't have enough for all of the pets or you love a good gamble, this bottle might be the one for you!

magic_phoenixtreeroots.png
While these Phoenix Tree Roots clearly are not filled with liquid, they are a chance pet-related item. These are essentially a ONE USE Miniature Phoenix Tree; you can apply these to a TRE and will then hatch a random AD pet! No charges, no regening, but a fun item to take a risk on. :3

If potions aren't dangerous enough for you, then you might enjoy our new Adventure items!

The Ara Torch and Ay Torch are not only cool souvenirs from the smackdown and nice testaments to your team, but they also double as weapons with fire and burn resistance!

explore_lockpick.png

For all you dirty thieves out there, we have added the wildly popular suggestion of a Lock Pick to our equipment repertoire. This item has a 24-hour NO BREAK period and increases your chances of picking the lock on a treasure chest by a whopping 20%! We do not encourage a life of crime, so after this 24 hour period of plundering fun, the Lock Pick will have a 15% chance of breaking.

The lovely Leaf Whistle is the younger sibling of the Leaf Harmonica. It works in exactly the same way--that is, it increases your chances of encountering pets you don't already own in Adventure--but only for 24 hours. Like the Lock Pick, after the no-break time, it has a 15% chance of breaking.

Now, if the idea of roaming around in Adventure doesn't tickle your fancy, we have some items for more relaxing enjoyment.

Foodie lovers and drink aficionados might appreciate this spread:

From alcohol to hunger and energy food, these items will make great, inexpensive treats for your pets or nice collectables!

For our resident Fauna lovers, we have two new Ara- and Ay-themed pets for your pets! Meet the Orb Creature and Crystal Creature!

I am really excited to talk about this next item--the Key to the Stars.
collectable_keytothestars.png
This item is usable from your inventory and will unlock the Lunar Meteor site theme.

Guys, this is going to be a thing. DO YOU KNOW HOW EXCITING THIS IS?!
Yes, this means you can decide if you want your site background to be your current Adventure location, or an unlocked theme of your choice! (Account - Settings - Edit Account - Site Theme Settings.) We will definitely be utilizing the potential of this brand new feature as time goes on! I really hope you enjoy it. :3 And, best of all, at 5 points, the item is inexpensive enough for you to hopefully snag one for yourself and a few friends.

But wait! We still have some neat items to see!

If you consider yourself an Aywas pro or think you could use some pointers, then dress your HA in the clothes from the Aywas Schoolhouse Wardrobe!

Here's a preview of some of the items so you can get an idea of the style. All items are male and female compatible and there's a lot of unisex mix-and-match options!

Two items that are not included in the wardrobe are the following shirts:
clothing_ayt-shirt.pngclothing_arat-shirt.png

The Ay and Ara T-shirts are 1 point each and are great mementos from the event that let you show your world pride! (Yes, they are HA-wearable.)

While we are offering a lot of affordable items, there are a few in higher tiers that I'd like to show you too.

collectable_clonertalisman.pngcollectable_glitteringtalisman.png

The Cloner Talisman has 5 charges, and each will give you a Claw Cloner.
Similarly, the Glittering Talisman has 5 charges, and each will give you a Glittering Rock.

The rarest prize we are offering is the Magic Custom Trove, which was developed from a user suggestion.

This shiny item is our newest breeding add on. When you use this item in a hybrid BC breeding, your offspring will be made on alternate hybrid lines! The caveat with this, of course, is that you have to pick a pairing that will produce a hybrid that actually has alternate lines. We'll be working on adding more alt hybrid line sets. :3

And, last but not least, of course we have a plethora of pets to choose from!

BUT ERI, you say, wildly stamping your feet.
ARA WON, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY AY PETS?!?!? THE INJUSTICE!
Well now, I'm glad you brought that up!

Since Ara won, we will be having a mini explosion of (mostly) Ara pets into Adventure just after Halloween for everyone to enjoy. :3

Seasonal Shop Tips
There are a lot of ways to strategize when playing a game, and while I don't want to tell you how to play or enjoy Aywas, I thought I would give you a few quick tips that help me!

- if you have limited points, buy what you can afford that isn't easily obtainable through another method. (Remember, there are lots of ways to obtain pets!)

- invest in "exclusive" items--aka, things that you don't think will be readily re-released.

- buy what you'll use! If you're an adventure-a-holic, you most likely won't want to spend all your points on clothes and fauna.

- buy what you like. <3 If you hate gambling, potions probably aren't your thing. If you LOVE that Gemberry Pie but don't want to feed it to your pet, who cares? Pretty up your inventory.

- don't have any points because you couldn't participate? Scour the forums for some deals! Chances are, people will be looking to replenish their hoards or sell off extra items, and the good ol' pet and item obtaining methods aren't going anywhere.

The Seasonal Shop will be open through Monday October 29th at 11:59 PM.

For the Adventure guide- will lockpicks and leaf whistles be available anywhere after the seasonal shop closes or they exclusive to this event?
