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!

I hope that the unused cauldrons after the raffle will still be used for something for the thousands of people who won't get a custom. Maybe a custom making item for Halloween or Fall themed customs, or something like that.
It just seems odd to have it be a basically useless item from finishing a collection if you aren't one of the relatively few people who will get a custom.

Is there an estimated time on how long the cauldron will run? I know the short answer is 'until the customs run out', but it might be nice to have a guesstimate on how long the cauldron will remain stocked. Another day? A few days? The rest of the week? TIA

I like Kayana's idea. I still have yet to see a list and the pet is gone within seconds after the 30 minutes is up. A lot of people are going to end up with an item from a collection that's useless.

For those that are wondering how the pets are getting grabbed so fast? It's a little add-on to their web browser called auto-refresh. You can set it up to AR every 2sec and some of them even less.
I also agree with several others that don't have lightning fast internet/reflexes and a life I'd like to see something useful done with those of us who don't get a custom. A raffle just won't cut it all that hard work turning in a collection just to get a raffle ticket for a 1 in 1,000 chance of claiming something?

:/..That doesn't seem fair if people are using an add-on/bot to refresh for them. That seems like cheating. Most sites wouldn't allow something like that to be used.
