Site Update
The Giant Cauldron sat quiet and unused for nearly a year, gathering dust and providing a home for many a spider and their webs. As the clock struck midnight on October first, the heavy kettle suddenly creaked as though it heard the coming call of Halloween, responding to its magic. With each day in October, more and more dust miraculously got whisked away, and a strange liquid began to bubble up out of air.
Now, all that's needed are a few plants, and the real magic will begin.
The Giant Cauldron is stocked full of unique custom pets like this--one of which can possibly be yours if you have the magic touch.
Here's how things work!
A 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 on what the upcoming recipe will be, like this:
It is currently unknown how to make this pet, but it requires 4 different plants
(Note: The necessary Shiny Cauldron will count as one of the ingredients.)
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, this is a first-come, first-serve feature, so don't dilly-dally if you want a particular custom! If you are the first person to successfully turn in all the required ingredients, you will receive the custom as a new pet in your lair.
Once a custom is claimed, a new one will show up and the 30 minute timer will begin again.
If you see a message that says the cauldron has gone quiet, that means it's taking a break (read: it means Erienne is probably sleeping or something and will add more pets as soon as she can).
We'll run the Cauldron until we exhaust our stash, and I will make an announcement when it is officially empty.
Remember, you can only claim ONE custom, so choose wisely.
Every recipe will require one Shiny 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 Halloween, not the focus; keep that in mind.
Good luck!

You can only claim one... this is a limitation outside of just requiring a shiny cauldron, I assume? The people who went out and bought extras are going to be disappointed if so.

i'm getting tired of seeing people get irritated because THEY jumped the gun and bought a bunch of extra cauldrons. I do feel sorry for people with lair partners, but i understand the staff's reasoning behind this as well, like eri said earlier - allowing one per player would just lead to people suddenly getting mysterious new 'lair partners'. Sad but true.
Quite frankly i"m happy this is how the cauldron will work this year. :) It makes it so much more fair to everybody. Every player has an equal opportunity for a pet this time.

Woot! It would be great if you could make an announcement when it's ALMOST done, because some of us may be holding out waiting for a certain species ^^;
