Site Update
~Update~: Hey guys, so there was a glitch with the Collect All button, it has been fixed now. We apologize for your missing components, so we have created a Bundle of Components and will be handing them out to those who have collected a recipe already. The Collect All button was doing everything except giving you your items, so you did still get the experience!
Hello again! I know, by now many of you are probably cringing seeing me posting, wondering what type of awful news I am bringing you this time. I promise this is a good day though, we have several things to release today including the long awaited Alchemy!
First off, an apology from both Yasu and myself. All of these should have been released a week ago, but as everyone knows I had no power. Yasu, however, also had no power for a little bit and for a was also stuck in town for an extended time due to his wife being in labor! So a special congratulations to Yasu and his family <3
That being said, lets get to the fun stuff you've been waiting for! Alchemy is now live! You can find the icon for it on the games page, it resembles cooking in that you will need certain ingredients for each recipe and that you gain levels. However, the levels are account bound, not pet bound. As you level up more and more recipes will be unlocked, you gain experience through breaking items down as well as creating recipes. Right now there is only a handful of recipes all of on-site items, but we will be adding more (hopefully by the end of the week) and we are also opening up a Suggestions Thread for different items and account perks that you would like to see!
One example of this is a recipe we will be creating that allows you to quit cooking without losing a level! We are waiting on releasing the new items until we can gauge how quickly everyone will level and make sure there are no major glitches that we missed.
I am also excited to announce that Alchemy will have a new Scoreboard! So those of you chasing SP have something new to tackle, and it comes with a trophy!
Notice: The Experience and Alchemy Levels are not set in stone. Consider this the Beta testing now, so if you lose some levels later on this is why. We want to judge how fast everyone levels, and we are taking into consideration that the numbers will be skewed for the first few weeks as everyone plays with it.
The Alchemy Kit Premium item has also been activated now! It regenerates once a day and grants you a random amount of experience towards your Alchemy
In honor of Alchemy's Grand Opening we have temporarily reduced the grab time in the Donation Box from 1 hour to 5 minutes, so you can grab as much as you may need for your Alchemy needs!
We also have finally finished the Shop Swap! If you head on over to the Shop Listing you can see the icons have changed and we have a whole lot less shops! We got rid of the weird ones that you guys have been complaining about for years, consolidated quite a few of them, and tried to streamline them a little. They're all also on the new shop format!
Note: For the time being quick stock dumping has been disabled! we are gonna try to get it back on shortly.
Which leads to the next subject; many of you have seen the NEW: Custom Clothing Shop Submission thread, this thread was created so that we can swap out the clothing in the shops! Those same outfits have been in there for ages, and most everyone has them already so we want to get some variety going in there. We obviously won't swap them out until we get plenty of submissions, and we will give a news post warning when the shop is going to swap out.
Along with the shops, Trash for Treasure has had a bit of a revamp, as has the Trash Dump! With all of these shop updates, if you guys see items missing, please let me know.
We also have the new Petals of Prizes Scratchcard! They come free with any purchase of $5 or more from now until March 22nd at 11:59pm! We may extend it afterwords but we want to see how they play out. We heard your complaints so these ones have a higher chance at winning than the Holiday Scratchcards, as well as 25 possible prizes!
I would also like to remind everyone that Commission Panel Fees still must be paid within 1 month of the commission. We have several artists with outstanding fees from January, you were given a leave for February due to the changes but these fees need to be paid. I will be sending out PM's later on this week to anyone with outstanding fees. If you have fees and cannot afford to pay them then please contact me. I want to work with you regarding this situation and I know that hard times do happen.

Alchemy is a cool concept, now it just needs better items. Potions are meh and will get devalued quickly once everyone levels.

Seconding the plea for different alchemy rewards... Currently I don't quite feel the urge to use the feature. (regenerating energy items, maybe? a specific breeding addon?) Also, can we get a LINK to the feature...? Having to go back to news posts to access the event links is tiresome enough.

It's on the games page!
Also, to put in my own concerns with alchemy - If I do ten of one item it works, but doing ten of different items does not? Am I just misunderstanding how that's meant to be? Does it always have to be ten of the same item for it to work?

the new shop system looks great, but it's lagging a lot more than before. :C
i'm delighted that haggling is gone, it made purchasing ingredients such a chore that i'd never really bothered to use the shops much, especially because most item prices are negligible anyway.

Ten items of the same rarity should do the trick

🌈Allysun🍀 (#317) you can do different, or the same, the rarity seems to be based off what items are in there, but I've seen adding a bunch of low and one high seems to spit a mid level? Not sure how it works out really but you can mix and match
The only thing that seems a bit odd, is if you have 1 item, and you try to add another of the same it errors, you have to use the quantity if you want to add more then 1 of the same item. (So if you want to put down 3 you need to do quantity 3, not add it 1 at a time or it gets confused.)

I am curious about the gift of life as well. I did not see it in any of the shops. Will it go back in?

Huge congrats to you and your family, Yasu! :)
