Giant Cauldron Creaking

Site Update

Have you heard any noises coming from the Giant Cauldron room lately?

Something tells me it's about to awaken...

(Personal spooky custom owned by myself and Dew!)

Bubbling over with magic, the Giant Cauldron has the power to produce unique custom pets, and one of them could be yours if you're a skillful brewer!

Here's how things work!
(If you're a cauldron veteran, this will sound very familiar, but if you're a newer player, you'll want to read up since this feature is unique to October. :3)

- a random 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 for what the upcoming recipe will be that's needed to create the custom. The recipe will use plants from the Witch's Garden. It will look something like this:

It is currently unknown how to make this pet, but it requires 4 different plants.
(Note: The Ornate Cauldron will count as one of the ingredients/"plants." This item is required for every cauldron recipe.)

- 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, since the cauldron deals in custom pets and not site colors, this is a first-come, first-serve feature; if you are the first person to successfully turn in all of the required ingredients, you will receive the custom as a new pet in your lair.

- once a custom is claimed, either a new one will show up and the 30 minute timer will begin again, or the cauldron will take a little break.

Things to keep in mind!
- You can only create ONE custom from the cauldron, so choose wisely.

- If you see a message that says the cauldron has gone quiet, that means it's taking a break. We'll do our best to fill the cauldron with customs at various hours to hit all timezones.

- There will be 50 pets total put into the cauldron between October 27th - October 31st, working out to roughly 10 per day. Pets will be put in at random times, and not necessarily all one after the other.

- We'll run the Cauldron until we exhaust our stash, and I will make an announcement when it is officially empty.

- The Ornate Cauldron will be turned into an openable goodie bag after Halloween! So even if you don't manage to snag a custom with the help of one, you'll still get some treats!

Remember, you can only claim ONE custom, so choose wisely.
Every recipe will require one Ornate 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 our October festivities finale, not the focus; keep that in mind. :3

Good luck!

odd question, but is it normal for some of the ingredients(like cherry bark) to almost never show up in the [email protected]

Oh wow. This sounds so cool. This is my first year on Aywas so this is definitely interesting to learn.

However, I'd like to know if we do grab a custom does our cauldron disappear or can we still use it to get a goodie bag later too?

If you do grab a custom, the Giant Cauldron will take your Ornate Cauldron (and plants), so you'd have to buy an extra Ornate Cauldron if you wanted one to open as well. :3 - Eri

And no, the Cherry Bark seems to be appearing with the same frequency as other plants based on the numbers in circulation. You might just have some bad luck with it, though. XD - Eri

Seems to be the case XD, i have so much thyme and so many dark magic roots, but rarely get the cherry bark and bergomot mostly lol

Thanks!

oh curious, does the shiny cauldron do anything anymore? o.o, or just display item now?
