Hi everyone! Monthly news for you all!

SUMMER SEASONALS:

The season has rolled over, and the summer prompts and locations are now available! This comes with a few new items.

Crafting Recipes:

• Pool Toys
  • This collectable set has been updated to include several new collectables!

Pets:

• Peering Crawler
  • Drops nothing
  • Obtained via Summer prompts

NEW STATUS EFFECT:

• • Sunburn
    • Risk in summer seasonal activities.
    • Cured with Aloe Gel.
    • Can progress into Heatstroke, which is cured with an Ice Pack.

SEASONAL BOSS FIGHT:

From now on, every season we will be running a season-long boss fight! These will all be collaborative, meaning that all users deal damage to the same global health pool.

GARKIT BOAR

By visiting the link above, or navigating to the Bosses page via the navbar (under Play) you can participate in the fight against the Garkit Boar! 
Damage can be dealt to the boss using the following methods:

• Daily Logins: By visiting the boss fight page, you can damage the boss with the attack button once per day to deal between 1 and 5 damage.
• Donating Cloud Coins: Donating Cloud Coins directly via the boss fight page will deal damage, with a ratio of 100CC to 1 damage.
• Donating Items: Donating items directly via the boss fight page will deal damage, with a ratio dependant on the item's rarity.
• Prompt Submissions: Submissions to any of the Summer prompts will contribute damage to the boss fight, with a ratio of 100 damage per submission.

To deal damage via any method besides prompts and click on the Challenge Boss button. From there, navigate to the section for your method of choice, fill out the information, and press the Attack button. Damage from prompt submissions require no further input from you, and will be processed automatically by staff.

Damage dealt is collaborative - every user deals damage to a global pool. The boss has a total of 100,000HP.

The rewards can be claimed from the Boss Fight page, and are as follows:

• For participating in the fight, and at every damage threshold reached, you may claim a raffle ticket for a Summer themed mystery design!
• When the boss has lost 25% of it's HP, you may claim 150 Starbits!
• When the boss has lost 50% of it's HP, you may claim a Riverbourn Spear! This is a weapon that can be given to a character, allowing them to do extra damage to bosses when included in prompts. It will also be useful in future mechanics!
• When the boss has lost 75% of it's HP,  you may claim a Garkit Boar Hologram collectable! This collectable is exclusive and cannot be obtained anywhere else.
• When the boss is defeated, you may claim a Garkit Boar Pet, a Garkit Boar Patch, and a Myth MYO Add-On Box!

The boss fight will last until August 31st!

As a reminder, an announcement will be made once rewards are claimable - either sometime after the boss is defeated, or after the fight ends, whichever comes first.

TRAIT UPDATES:

We have made a couple of small adjustments to existing traits!

• Complex Soda Pattern [SDC]
  • Has had its rarity downgraded to Rare, in order to better match the other species.
• Shrew Nose [CF]
  • Is now considered a modifier that can stack with other nose shape traits.

PRIDE EVENT [Reminder]:

As mentioned in our previous newsletter, our pride event will begin on June 7th! A newsletter with more information will come out then.

In addition, we will be hosting a batch of pride-themed mystery adopts on June 8th! These will be $25 each.

AWAN CLEANUP:

Phase 2 of Awan Cleanup has reached its goal! 

As it was completed while we were in the midst of working on other events, the final phase will be starting July 1st, to give us time to prepare it. In the meantime, phase 2 prompts will remain open.

In addition, prices in the Awan Cleanup shop have been adjusted, and the following items have been added:

• Covered Basket
• Refresh Charm
• Fortune Essence
• All Vestiges

SUMMER ADVENT & GUEST ARTIST OPPORTUNITY:

For the first time, we will be hosting a summer advent! Just as with winter advents, each day for a full month will reveal a new themed design. This will be hosted in August, and more info will be revealed closer to the time.

In the meantime, we are looking for guest artists to help create designs for it! 

This is a monetary postion. Artists will be tasked with creating one design based on a provided theme. Each theme has a species already assigned to it. Artists will be compensated for their work with $20 when their advent day sells.

You must be 16+ to apply. This form will close June 7th, and GAs will be contacted on June 10th. You will have until 3 days before your advent day, and will be required to send in a WIP one week in advance. For example, day 1's deadline will be July 29th, and so on. This gives every single artist over one full month to complete their design.

APPLY HERE!

USER PAGES:

Users now have the ability to create their own pages on-site!

These are completely blank pages that you can fill out however you please. You can use them for commission prices, personal lore information, note taking, or anything else within the rules of our website. Each user can have up to three pages. You can make a user page, or find a list of your existing user pages, here! This link can also be accessed through the left sidebar on the settings page.

Users found using pages to violate website rules, impersonate official site pages, or otherwise abuse the feature will have their pages removed and will recieve a warning or ban based on severity. Remember that this is public content.

STATUS MESSAGES:

Users can now add status messages to be viewed on their profiles!

This can be accessed through settings.

RECORD BOOK:

The record book keeps a record of all items that you have owned, regardless of whether or not you still own them. 

There are no rewards for filling this out besides the satisfaction of completing a collection. It's just for fun.

You can access it from beneath your inventory on your user page.

Misc:

• All Port Chrysanthemum MYOs from last month have been deleted, aside from those currently in the MYO queue! This does include drafts that were not in the queue, so if your submission was cancelled or you had yet to submit it, you will unfortunately need to obtain a new slot.
• Characters that have been in Port Chrysanthemum for a couple months now have been updated to have the option to be purchaseable with Cloud Coins instead of Starbits! Their Starbit prices have also been slightly discounted.
• Shops are now sorted into categories.
  • Currently, shops are sorted alphabetically within categories, instead of our custom sorting. This will be fixed at a later date, but in the meantime they may be organised strangely.
• We've reorganised certain items into different categories, and added a few new categories.
• The inventory layout has been very slightly adjusted to better match other pages.
• The Random Crafting Material Box now contains five materials, instead of just one.

That's all. Thank you for reading!
