Site Update
"I suppose I can take a break from stealing your candy to give you some updates!"
The moon rises over a winding road that leads to a fork in the road. As if by magic, a path clears leading towards the shining surface of the Haunted Lake. It looks like the Haunted Lake will be the seasonal region this year!
While visiting the Haunted Lake, be sure to collect any Melo Pumpkins or Halloween Pumpkins you may find. As always, they will be useful later in the month. You will also find that there are returning faces to the Haunted Lake as well as new ones! They can't wait to meet you and join your lair - they love having new places to haunt!
For those of you who wish to kick up your Trick or Treating just a notch, then Querel has a new store for you! The Bubbling Cauldron is stocked full with spells to help you on your Trick or Treat adventure!
A few short notes about the new shop! Hovering over the spell's icon will show you details as to what the spell does. All spells in Querel's shop cost spell points and require a certain amount of Karma. Spell Points are accrued when you fulfill the requests of visitors at your door. Karma is not a currency and will not be lost upon purchasing a spell, but a certain amount of it is necessary as a requirement for purchase. Please note that there are two types of karma - trick and treat - and the spells will tell you what type they require.
Additionally, you may have noticed that the Site Characters have been paying you Trick or Treat visits. It may benefit you to return the favor. Who knows what tricks and treats you may find!
Those of you familiar with our usual Halloween garden will find that it's had an update this year! This year the seasonal magic has brought you Minerva's Greenhouse!
Minerva's Greenhouse is a little different in that you will be able to directly harvest the plants you wish to obtain for Rowan's Potion Brewing, Frankenstein's Lab, and Custom Cauldron. However, underneath each plant you will find a "Success Chance". This chance will decrease the more you harvest, which increases the odds of Minerva catching you.
If Minerva catches you, your success chance will drop to 0% and you will be unable to harvest for a period of time. Your success chance will restore over time, giving you another chance to evade Minerva for those goods she's been hoarding in that greenhouse!
As a smaller update, the returning features of Rowan's Potion Brewing and Frankenstein's Lab will be releasing/updating with new stock very soon! A news post will come when that update is finished.
As for the much anticipated Custom Cauldron, you can expect that as well a bit later this month. We want to make sure that everyone has a chance to stockpile the necessary ingredients!

Hiiro (#755) I was wondering the same thing about the spells you get from the NPCs, and your explanation makes sense, except the little boxes on the karma panel aren't showing up anymore for me. They just seem to have disappeared.

👼🏻Cas🍬 (#6902) The spells only last for a certain amount of time. You can find out how long they last by hovering over the spells in the store or once they're cast on you. But I believe most are between 1-2 hours.
🎃Spoopy Nips🍬 (#47422) The karma panel is functioning right. There are different ways to get trick karma, even if you always treat. Knocking on other's doors or treating yourself are ways to still earn trick karma.

👼🏻Cas🍬 (#6902) I'm sorry, I meant to ping 🍬 Atalantra 🍬 (#71079) when I answered that question. My apologies! As for your question, I'll have to double check, I don't handle pet submissions/accepting. But as Voluspa has pointed out, the deadline is still the 20th, so more designs will be accepted/be uploaded to the site. I don't know if more will go into adventure or if they'll be for shop/potions only, but designs can still be submitted to the thread :)
Lady Serria (#5666) rat (#5182) I do not know yet what all will be going into the Seasonal Shop, sorry. But I will pass on the note about the pumpkin conversion :)
