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!

The Shiny Cauldron was an advent item Inori - did you not claim yours?

Sorry to double post but just realised that it wasn't an advent item Inori - it was obtained from the spooky forest collection so you should be able to get one :D

So, uhh... how many ingredients is it going to need? I realize it says four including the cauldron, but about the other three... is it just one each, or is it going to ask for something like ten of them?

Dragon Princess, the same thing happened to me, only I was refreshing the page like a madman the entire 30 minutes for that last Orimi. I was refreshing literally every half second, if it even took that long. But, it never showed the ingredients. It just went to a new pet. And I know I didn't just miss it, because even though I was going fast, I was still watching like a hawk, so I would have seen if they popped up. I honestly don't see how someone else could have gotten it THAT fast. Less than half a second? Maybe I'm just sad that I didn't get it, which I am. But, just don't understand how it went that quickly...

Sorry for the double post, but I did see the ingredients for the Lacer, so unless there was a glitch for the Orimi, it does seem to be working (though in my opinion asking for way too many of one plant).

I got excited until it got to the part that you needed a shiny cauldron...
