"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 am so confused. I have gotten 32 Halloween Pumpkins and 33 Melo Pumpkins, but only 1 LTG. How is it possible that people have gotten so many??

Are the LTG's ours to keep, or will they be getting fixed? I've never had one before and would love to make some into babies... but I'm cautious to submit them as customs until I know if it's ok... don't want to submit them and get in trouble for it.

I hope the LTG thing won't be 'fixed', I've dumped a dozen in pumpkins already to make less fortunate people happy :(
Plus I've seen a lot being bought in the shops as well so having it 'fixed' would mean people spent god knows how much BP/GP on nothing :/
(if it's a glitch the +1LTG can be fixed obviously, just not having what's been given so far taken away).

Ren (#50779) ah thank you, never knew aynip did that sorta just thought it would attract a random breed without you being able to choose.
