Site Update
The dragons and I have some updates for you!
First, you might've noticed that a Top 20 Questers board has been added. Your quest level is determined by how many quests you complete, and rejecting a quest will not bump you down. So, if I do 100 quests but have rejected 5, I will be at quest level 100.
Note that the quest level is different from your location level. Currently, your location level in Dragon's Canyon can now not exceed level 14 to keep you from "mastering" the area, so that you can quest infinitely. Unfortunately, we can't display your current quest level, so you'll only be able to see it if you move up into the high score board.
The Tavi should still let you throw gems at him after every three quests you complete, and the most he will ask for is 480 gems.
Yasu and I have spent the past few days working on getting all of these kinks with the new script ironed out, so thank you SO much for your patience and continually testing things and reporting them in the glitches forum. The bugs were pretty widespread, but I know many of you have still been loving the event, especially since prizes are being given out instantly through the eggs. :3
We also didn't want to reset everyone's quest level since pretty much everyone encountered some sort of glitch, but we did expand the high score board from 10 to 20 people, and I'm happy to report that even people with consistent bug issues are on it. n_n High score winners will receive a special dragon trophy, SP, and a custom-related prize!
Second, a bunch of dragon items have been activated!
The Dragon Dagger and Flaming Dragon Dung are adventure weapons that give you various fire-related bonuses. See their descriptions for full details. The Fireball is an LBC/MBC-compatible breeding add-on that tells your artist to give you fire-colored offspring; note that this item does not give edits, it influences only the color palette.
These two mysterious eggs are now hatchable! The Much Specialer Egg will turn your active pet into one of 8 dragon-themed hybrids or rares at random, while the Not So Uncommon Egg will randomly turn your active pet into one of 5 more common dragon-themed colorations. In case you want to be surprised I won't post the list here, but you can check out the item description and/or the Aywapedia to get the full details!
Third, we've released a final batch of dragons into the canyon!
There are 10 new pets for you to collect. :3 Enjoy!
If you are the artist behind one or more of these incredible dragons, stay tuned for a payment update!
The Super Special Egg use will be revealed soon!
As you might've suspected, especially if you've been poking around the Item Database, this is a custom creator. We'll be revealing what it creates in a day or two as a final surprise, and you will also have a longer time to use the item than usual since we want to give Graymare a chance to heal. :)
Dragon's Canyon will be closing up on November 18th at 11:59 p.m. to give you a full 48 hours+ to quest, steal eggs, and fling poo. The best parts of Aywas, amirite?
Thanks again to needchocolatenow (#41056) for letting the dragons loose on us, and to all of you for your continued patience and support. Have fun!

Eri & Dew (#17) If we can't see what quest level we're at, how can we know for sure that we aren't hitting a glitch? I mean... lots of people have had issues during this event that others didn't have, so I don't really feel confident that the work I'm putting into this is actually doing anything.

The Top Questers contest is really bothering me and I need to vent. I think it was a good idea in general and I actually would like to see it or something similar come back in the future. It's nice to have more variety in contests instead of just art-based ones.
What's bothering me, though, is that there was an obviously known glitch that made it so that some users were stuck at quest 15 while others were able to continue questing for days. It created such a huge disadvantage for some, maybe a majority of, players and has resulted in a completely ridiculous contest. No one stuck in the glitch is going to make up the deficit in the two remaining days unless they devote all of their waking hours to it and the people already at the top simply stop doing quests.
Why couldn't everyone's quest number get reset when the glitch was fixed? We could have had an even playing field and an interesting site feature instead of frustration in knowing that a great prize is being offered but is completely unobtainable. This was the one thing I most looked forward to when it was first announced but now I just want to get those last few pets as soon as possible so I don't have to bother with the event anymore.

I already finished a quest after which I had to give 960 gems, am I going to get back 480???
Additionally, the - NOT - drop rate of the much specialer egg is ridiculous, I've played the event intensely and I've gotten only one from dozen of eggs. Frankly, that majorly sucks.
At the very least, since do did a shop after all, at least put the eggs there, too!

"and you will also have a longer time to use the item than usual since we want to give Graymare a chance to heal. :)" Wait...does this mean custom creators have a lifespan? ;w; (sorry for the cluelessness, I'm still kind of clueless about how customs works and haven't been through many events yet).
It's really unfortunate that the playfield wasn't leveled somehow for the high scores though. The moment I finally get to quest past level 15, I see there's already people with 300 quests completed. With the lowest one being 100 at the time. There's no way to catch up to that. ): I believe it totally crushed the event for a lot of people.
Would also love to be able to buy more specialer eggs with eggs too. I have the worst luck x_x

The only way for this to be remotely fair is to reset everyone's quests to zero and run the event a few more days. I have been adventuring the entire time but I had the glitch. How am I or anyone else who encountered it supposed to have a chance? After this and the skeleton key event my love for Aywas becomes less and less.
