"Aren't you bored with that silly little Pumpkin Patch that Rowan has been obnoxiously flying around yet?" Minerva paused, flicking her tail in a twinge of what might've been a rare fleck of jealousy. "Speaking of boredom, I was a little tired of conjuring up trees and dirt paths and thought you all might enjoy a little change of scenery." Her ominous laughter seemed to suggest that she recognized how comfortable the pets had become in the forest, and she was only comfortable when others were on edge.
Turning toward the shadows with a wink, Minerva waved a single gloved hand in the air, beckoning her troops of Griffins to emerge before disappearing in a spiral of darkness herself. With red eyes piercing, the feathered beasts took to the skies, leaving behind a trail of feathers that led to an eerily quiet beach...
Introducing the Haunted Lake!
You might be puzzling to yourself, wondering why a supposedly spooky area has a cartoon feel. I'd be happy to answer that. :3
In October, as each week passes, the intensity of the season's magic grows with the opening of more features.
Wouldn't it be cool if we could "see" evidence of the magic taking hold?
That's where the Haunted Lake background comes in! Through a series of background art contests, we are giving you the opportunity to illustrate this magic phenomenon.
Essentially, each week a new background image will be uploaded--with more detail and perhaps even different features from the last--though the essence of the Haunted Lake (beach, water, sky) will remain. If this intrigues you, please consider entering!
--* Round 1 is now open here! *--
Best of luck! :3
You will find 20 pets--including the 6 above--in your Haunted Lake travels, but rest assured that we will be adding many, many more!
Note: I have gotten a few requests for extensions on Halloween pet submissions, so keep an eye out for a new thread for all you stragglers. ;) I'm not quite done accepting pets from the initial thread, but I will let you know as soon as I finish.
The pumpkins that we all have such a strong love/hate relationship with have returned!
Both pumpkins can be found in the Haunted Lake area, but you know we can't make them too terribly easy to amass.
If this is your first October on Aywas, you're probably wondering why these two pumpkins elicit such strong emotions from us, and why anyone would want a large hoard of them, right? Let me explain:
The above items (Melo Pumpkin and Halloween Pumpkin) will be used as exchange currency in our Seasonal Shop that will open at the end of the month.
When the shop doors open, you will find some items priced in Melo Pumpkins, but most will be priced in Halloween Pumpkins. However, we do offer an exchange option so that you can trade in your MPs for HPs (example: 5 Melo Pumpkins = 1 Halloween Pumpkin). The official trade-in rate has not yet been decided.
You will also encounter 10 collectable items during your stay on the beach, including the 4 above.
Hold onto these, for they are more than holiday souvenirs. Not only will we be opening up a special Museum Collection for them when our curator is ready, but they will also come in handy later in the month as the magic intensifies!
Have fun out there, and be careful when talking to strangers!
(As a new area, the Haunted Lake has a few quirks that we're working out, including a silly trivia bug. Things should smooth out in the next few days. <3)

I have been adventuring for 2 hours and I only have one, and that was after two clicks when I started :( Bad luck I guess?

Idkkkkkk ; A ;; I've just been absently clicking with one hand using Stylish as I do homework reading with the other OTL;;
Maybe my piano fingers let me click faster :P (that's probably not it HAHA;; altho I do think my scrollpad helps me click faster cause I only have to tap to make it click :0)
I think I have a magic account that gives me luck or something... XD;;

I just got three in a row. Not three in a short amount of time. Two consecutive lesser tendril drops, one random event, then another tendril drop. It's weird that only certain users seem to be getting a million and others are having trouble getting one.
Erm, hopefully there's a way to fix this otherwise I think the item will be crazy deflated! Maybe a way to turn in multiples to get a different custom maker? Lesser tendril sink? lol

Indeed! I've been keeping two on hand at all times for kitty pumpkins every ten minutes. The rest are going in my shop...the stock is definitely steadily climbing. Good luck hunting in the pumpkin patch and lake.
