Site Update
You survived 31 days of October on Aywas, congratulations!
Halloween is silly this year--what kind of holiday falls on a Wednesday? Here on Aywas, we will be celebrating Halloween through the weekend, so lets kick it off right!
The Seasonal Shop is now open for business!
What is Halloween without awesome treats? From Spooky Treebark Jerky to Hard Cider, we have your energy and hunger needs deliciously covered!
And there's even a goodie bag to grab!
Inside you'll find 1000 BP, a Melo Pumpkin, and Candycorn Fortune Cookies.
Take a part of Halloween 2012 with you through the Moonlit Tree Wallpaper and Moonlit Night site theme! The wallpaper is equippable through your wardrobe and the site theme is accessible through your account settings once you activate it.
To battle things that go "bump" in the night, we have this creepy lineup of weaponry and armor!
Or, if you'd rather stay cuddled up in bed hiding from the dark and the monsters under your bed, you might want to take one of these fauna with you for some company.
Looks like someone went digging in the Witch's Garden for these three items. Each unlocks a different forum title achievement!
Voodoo Pin - Spooked!
Black Widow - Creepy Crawly
Broken Greenhouse Glass - Witchy
Thankfully, she didn't notice, but it was probably because she was too busy brewing all of these potions:
Here's a rundown of what each one does, along with a pet example. You can find the rest in the Aywapedia. :3
Evil Star Vial - Turns your pet into 1 of 3 Lunarises.
Fading Potion - Turns your pet into 1 of 6 Hybrids.
Hallowed Bottle - Turns your pet into 1 of 4 exclusive colorations.
Poison Berry Potion - Turns your pet into 1 of 3 Vions.
We're also bringing back some old favorites!
The Evil Breeding Coin is returning alongside fan-favorites, OCCs and OCOs.
I was told I'd be burned at the stake if OCCs and OCOs were made findable in Adventure, so they are in the shop for 10 Halloween Pumpkins each.
OCOs and OCCs are still /flooding/ the market from last year and their going rate reflects this surplus.
So, instead of dumping thousands more into the economy through Adventure, we're making them buyable for findable currency. They're still obtainable for old and new players alike, but not to the extreme.
But we also have some more brand new items!
I am particularly excited about this next one.
The Ghostly Book is a BC add-on that will tell the artist to add ghostly wisps/spirits to your offspring!
If you're somehow not in the Halloween mood yet, maybe these HA clothes will help. c:
The ghost is achieved by a standalone item, Draped Ghost Sheet.
In the middle is the Scarecrow set, which has 10 pieces.
And lastly is the Spider Witch set, with 5 pieces.
You can see all of the items in these three previews. :3 Enjoy!
What am I forgetting?
Oh yeah, the shopkeepers!
This is the Spellcast Potion, and it is very special. If you like customs and alternate lines, you will want to have one or twelve of these in your inventory.
Introducing the 2012 Halloween Shopkeepers!
The Spellcast Potion allows you to make a Garu, Woolith or Insi custom with up to 30% edits!
Like all shopkeepers, if you like the above colorations, you can use your potion to submit one of those, but we encourage you to customize yours! The PSDs currently available are the raw PSDs Krista worked with to make each of these specific colorations, so we'll probably offer simplified versions in a few days. :3
And, of course, we have creepy pets galore for sale as standalones in the seasonal shop.
Need some help snagging these pets? You might like the Blood Brain Potion
This potion will turn your active pet into a random coloration from the Seasonal Shop. You can pick this one up in the Trash Shop.
Along side the Blood Brain Potion, you will find the Spooky Forest Potion. This will turn your active pet into one from the Spooky Forest!
Speaking of the Spooky Forest, we will be leaving that open through Sunday November 4th at 11:59 p.m., at which time the Pumpkin Patch, Famine's Potion Brewing, the Garden, and the Lab will also be shut down. I will also be adding small batches of customs to the Giant Cauldron this weekend at all different times to try and hit as many timezones as possible. (read: You can stop madly refreshing until then. XD)
The Seasonal Shop will be open through Tuesday November 6th at 11:59 p.m. to give you a week to grab all the goodies!
In case you're curious what's inside this lovely bag (today's Advent prize), here are the contents:
Happy Halloween!
We will return to our regularly scheduled updates tomorrow. :3
(aka, trivia, raffle crystals, etc. I took a wild guess and figured you guys might want the Seasonal Shop first!)

Just a comment...it would have been REALLY nice....like REALLY nice....to get that heads up on the orange crystals/orbs BEFORE the end of the month? 'Cause I spent my ay/ara points on lockpicks, and a tonne of BP on keys....JUST so I could get me some orange crystals and orbs. Only to find - whoop, so sorry, I need pumpkins. I currently have....5. Awesome. Lovely. Fantastic. Lousy Halloween. Eri, Orange Crystals are up to 2 mil/4 GP. That doesn't seem too bad a rate to me. --_--
I was looking forward to this all year. My Aywas Halloween is nerfed. :(

What does the Duration under some of the items mean?

Given that blue crystals (the edit equivalent of a OCC I think) is 18GP I'd call the OCC rate a bit low. It's not the same with orbs, which I don't understand xD I suppose it's because they're in different shops?

Duration is under all of them, and it's just part of the coding; it takes about a minute for the items to be "created" and appear in your inventory. - Eri
