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.

I don't even have any items left for the trash dump... giving it all to Alchemy. Having too much fun with this. I probably should ask this in the help forum but I'm too lazy to go make a topic. Can anyone tell me if there's a place for Ocoberries besides the free food?

I finally got up to level 6 and green ocoberries noooooo ;____; Why so mean, gais, green ocoberries are already in the annoying item shop, so they're *super expensive*, I need all the ones I get for cooking! I mean, I would quite honestly prefer the same amount of r100 components than green ocoberries. :( :( :( (Also red ones, for the same reason! The other ones will be annoying, but there's a difference between annoying and aggravating, haha.)
Otherwise am having fun with this thing, though! Question: since it seems to be all the r100 and lower random potions, is the curious milk jug supposed to be there? I'm guessing the arak potion isn't because it's AD.
Minor new shop gripes: why is flour 4x the price now ;____; It's almost my entire cooking budget whyyyy. Also cooking still requires gifts of life on occasion, but they don't seem to stock anywhere any more, and the user shop ones are incredibly expensive still.
Slightly less minor: is it possible to make items not in stock invisible again? Some shops are SUPER LONG now - eg. Tasty Ay Foods, now the Culinary Cache, is 15 screens long on my desktop monitor. Ye Olde Clothing Shop, which seems to be a combo of a few old shops, is 54. It's information overload. (The fact that each item takes up more space now doesn't help, but the new shop workflow is A++ so I dunno what you can do about that. :/)
I miss all the old shopkeepers, so many adorable grumps! :( But I like the new lot too! So it's kinda bittersweet.

Is the Gift of Life supposed to no longer be stocking? It was available constantly in the Random Crap store before, but I can't find it in either of the food stores or The Corner Store where flour was moved to... it comes up a lot in cooking, and prices are sky-high, and I'd rather not have to burn a TV Dinner use every time comes up :c

"The Collect All button was doing everything except giving you your items"
So.. Basically, other than NOT doing the one thing it is supposed to do, it works fine? lmfao.

The new updates are great!! It'd really cool to see all of the shops looking more up to date and uniform. :D
And Yasu, congrats on your new baby!! ^.^
I did want to mention that the button on the 'Premium Points' page is redirecting to the main shop page. Also, would it it be possible to maybe get a link to the Rock Exchange in the Premium Purchases shop so that we don't have to go through the games page every time we want to turn in Geodes? Either way, thank you so much for all of the hard work that has gone into these updates. We're very fortunate to have such a good team on this site. ^.^

I have the same questions as some above and I haven't seen an answer. Flour and Gift of Life was both in Random Crap but only Flour is still in shops. Aren't we supposed to be able to buy Gift of Life anymore? It's still required quite often for cooking. :/

🎁❄Kaiyo❄⛄ (#489) thought I posted in here but maybe only in my head :D
I'm so drooling over the ammo & cammo shop old items that are there but not there... will these be for sale at some point?
I so need a lot - a lot -- of them. It's the collecting bug - I can't help it :) Sorry about the drool... :D
