Current Events

Ocean Shadows Phase Two

Ocean Shadows is currently running Phase Two! This (and Phase One) will be open until January 15 at 11:59 PM PST, at which time Phases One and Two will close, no new kets will be able to enter, and only Phase Three will be open! Make sure to get your entries in before then, as you need to enter Phase One and Two to enter Phase Three!

In Phase Two, we meet a new build of Ketucari, the massive Garoch build! Go earn their trust (or... or don't. completely wreck relations if that's what you're into) and get deeper into Paschmahaa!

Garochs and the new genes will be available in February for semicustoms/tokens/etc, instead of the expected March, due to Ocean Shadows starting without them for a month.

Season's Eatings

The Solstice Festival/12 Days of Gifting is coming back this year! It'll be pretty much the same as last year, so here's last year's if you want to take a look and see what'll be coming soon! We hope you have fun gifting and receiving, and have a lovely holiday season!

More Guides

The Design Guides page now contains a Background Changes guide and a Bottled Glamour guide!

Singing Vale Raid Soon

The Singing Vale is now at 214/250 points towards a raid at time of writing this (and Anarchie is planning Something to get that number up a lot more after the event) - we'll continue to alert you to a raid happening somewhat soon until it hits! Get your ketucari's skills and armor ready to take on Hianlian! Remember that Hianlian's attacks will be scaled to your ketucari's armor, so even low-armor ketucari can enter - armor does affect some things, however, such as amount healed!

 

Early Black Friday? No, We Just "Fixed" The Economy.

Posted 4 months ago :: Last edited 4 months ago by Anarchie

Dea (one of Anarchie 's alters) and IIIXKitsuneXIII have been working on a thing, and it's time to announce it.
Yes specifically Dea, no one else in Anar's system has a special interest in game economies.

WE FIXED THE ECONOMY, PROBABLY

  • Strong Herbal Brews now cost 60g, down from 80g. Binding Reagents now cost 25g, down from 35g. Fateful Bindings are now 15g, down from 20g. These were pricy for people who were considered rich in gold, plus it's in the nature of the items to need to buy more than one.
  • Strong Herbal Brews can be crafted with any 15 mid-tier herbs/animal parts. This is changed from 5 of each and every mid-tier herb/animal part. Herbal Brews can be crafted with any 5 low-tier herbs/animal parts. This is changed from 5 of each and every low-tier herb/animal part. I do not think anyone has ever used alchemy to make a (strong)/herbal brew, so maybe that's viable now.
  • All laurel shop items above 30 laurels have been halved in price. This affected Crossover, Attunement Shift, and 5th Sense. All Laurel Shop items at 30 have been dropped to 25 laurels. This affected Dominance Potion, Claw Sheaths, Cape, Helmet, Smoke Bomb, and Shield. This was decided along with Noirmori, who originally came up with Laurels, and said that the original prices may have been a bit off. Basically, we want you all to be able to afford the good stuff.
  • The entire Legacy Shop has been halved in price. This affected the Entire Legacy Shop. Raids are a once (maybe twice!) a year event, and we wanted to change the price to reflect that.

Enjoy saving money!

Current Events, UPDATED

With the release of our major event Ocean Shadows, several other things are happening!

The Cartography Guild has introduced Scouting into your regular Adventuring options! Much like Ventures, your ketucari can be doing anything in a Scouting outing, but the focus of the piece must be heavily on the background! There's information in the linked page on how much minimum detail we expect for a scouting, but if you've been looking for an excuse to practice your backgrounds, this is a good one!
Scouting will bring back Perception and Intellect drops - so Herbs, Cooking supplies, Artifacts, and Engineering supplies - and will also have a chance to bring back treasure maps! If you get a treasure map, you can go on an additional scouting adventure to find a high-value treasure chest!

Ochredari's Forge is reporting that they can now make Bone Armor! Bone Armor has the defensive power of Leather armor, but can amplify your attunement damage!

Kenkasaei's Hovel has added a Rebreather to their craftable items! With this ocean exploration, you'll likely need it!

Fauna depictions now only have to be 25% rather than 50%! This should help with some larger creatures in Ocean Shadows...

Quests can optionally be used to learn Skills once again! They just aren't the only way to learn skills!

The Breeding Roller has been updated by @pawstepsinthednow , bringing with it the following features!

1: Reduced Errors

2: Easier to update for new genes

3: Slightly more granular Matriarch Kills to account for new items

4: Dominant Genes can now throw Dominant Genes  15% for common, 10% for uncommon, 5% for rare

Enjoy the updates!

Current Events

COMING SOON...

An event is coming on most likely the 15th! Get ready, and if you can, get your ketucari Aquatic or Thick Skin in preparation! It's gonna be a big one!

New Staff

Wolfenru and AutumnDarkCloud have joined the staff, and you'll see them around rolling your stuff if you haven't already! Make 'em welcome!

Singing Vale Raid Soon

The Singing Vale is now at 211/250 points towards a raid at time of writing this (and Anarchie is planning Something to get that number up a lot more after the event) - we'll continue to alert you to a raid happening somewhat soon until it hits! Get your ketucari's skills and armor ready to take on Hianlian! Remember that Hianlian's attacks will be scaled to your ketucari's armor, so even low-armor ketucari can enter - armor does affect some things, however, such as amount healed!

That's all for now, see you in the event or in December!

7 Days of Trick or Treating III

Posted 5 months ago :: Last edited 4 months ago by Anarchie

TRICK OR TREAT!

Hello and welcome to a small Halloween event! It's back again!

Each day, a prompt will appear on this journal with a small prize for its completion! To complete each prompt, you only need to do  a headshot sketch OR 100 words, but if you meet our Minimum Art Requirements, you can also get your piece rolled as an adventure, skill, or other relevant roll! There will not be an additional prize for completing all 7 days, so don't worry if you miss one! However, you will only be able to complete each day's prompt on that day! Some prompts will be returning from last year, and many prizes will be returning!

Have a happy, safe, and haunted end of your October! Have fun!

Each prompt will show up at midnight pacific time!

TODAY'S PROMPT

The Raffle

We have a raffle again this year! To enter, you only need to make an entry for any day, and link it on the thread you want to enter on! One entry can be used for multiple raffles!

This raffle seems a little creepy... a little crawly... a little, uh, spider?

Atlach here is the new starter for the Arachnid Ambusher lineage skill! 5 of its slots will be raffled!

-Atlach slots may not be sold for real life currency, or traded outside of Ketucari
-If the Winner of the slot chooses to use the slot in a Split breeding, the Winner of the slot must get Pick of the Litter. This is to prevent more experienced players from taking advantage of newbies, which we have been seeing more of as of late.

Atlach's Thread

 

If you're looking for a spider ketucari to take home, some of Atlach's grandchildren are around, all able to learn the Arachnid Ambusher skill at renowned, with Atlach on the second lineage line:

Jorogumo's Thread

Widow's Thread

Orchard's Thread

New ITems

We have some new things for you to do with your candy! Check out the Candy Necklace recipe in Engineering, and the Candywine, Deluxe Candywine, Box of Chocolates, and Deluxe Box of Chocolates recipes in Cooking!

Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 6 months ago by Anarchie

Hello! First off, sorry for being late on this, the admin team is currently experiencing a lot of Life Chaos, but we wanted to get out an update anyways. We're also not sure who's going to be on monthly update duties for sure, but it's me, Anar, for now! Hello!

Fire For the Future

Current Events

Singing Vale Raid Soon

The Singing Vale is at 201/250 points towards a raid at time of writing this - a raid will be happening somewhat soon! Get your ketucari's skills and armor ready to take on Hianlian! Remember that Hianlian's attacks will be scaled to your ketucari's armor, so even low-armor ketucari can enter - armor does affect some things, however, such as amount healed!

Broken Images

We are aware that many images are broken in guides and zone pages and the like - deviantArt changed the tokens in art that was somewhat older (maybe 2+ years old? unsure) and a lot of linked images broke as a result, whether stashed or posted. Someone will be going through and fixing them soon, we just need to find the time. Please bear with us!

 

And that's probably all for now! See you in October, most likely earlier in the month, haha. Take care (:

The Veluchasm Festival!

Posted 7 months ago :: Last edited 7 months ago by Anarchie

 

The Veluchasm Festival!

Runs August 1, 2023 - 11:59 PM August 31, 2023 (Pacific Time)

 

We have drinks, streamers, sparklers, and aliens, no matter which world you’re celebrating on! The denizens of Velukaelo and those of the Chasm-Connected worlds have been aware of each other for years, and our celebration is back and better than ever!

While Ketucari and Rixixi have had relationships every now and again, something new has started to spring up - a hybrid species referred to as the Ketixi! With the help of B-NOMALY mechanic Steele and expert engineer Kenkasei, the B-NOMALY’s breeding safety machine was altered with tarn water to safely join the genes of Rixixi and Ketucari while filtering out all sorts of possible issues. While it is possible to create a Ketixi naturally, it is rare, so we recommend use of the machine!

Something else new has cropped up again - with further experiments to the breeding safety machine, Ketucari and B-NOMALIES have been able to hybridize into what passes as a bipedal companion on Velukaelo and a subtype of B-NOMALY in the Chasm! KETU-NOMALIES stand mostly bipedally, and have a few K-NOM specific traits such as Godkiller Face and Godkiller Hands due to their heritage!

You will need an account on both Chasmho.me and Ketucari.com to participate in this event!
 
 

Species Information: Ketixi

Other Feather Types: Bald | Fantail | Frizzle | Harpy | Jacobin | Lucerne | Nicobar | Phoenix | Silkie

A hybrid of Ketucari and Rixixi, Ketixi are bulky, muscular quadrupeds. Appearing similar to a combination of a Primal subspecies of Rixixi and a Ketucari no matter their actual Rixixi heritage, they primarily stand on four legs, but can walk in a bipedal stance for a short time, similar to ursines. Much like Rixixi, the Ketixi breathes through a vent system, visible on their sides. Much like Ketucari, they have a combination of fur and feathers covering their body, and their frill - both spiked and leathery as well as covered in feathers - is extremely expressive.

They are approximately the size of a Standard build Ketucari, standing 16-20 hands tall at the shoulder. Rixixi commonly measure their quadrupeds by length, and Ketixi are comparable to a large Primal, measuring 12-16 feet long from snout to tailtip on average.

Ketixi are all some form of intersex due to their Rixixi heritage. Due in part to their unusual heritage, they are all sterile.

Species Information: KETU-NOMALY

A hybrid of Ketucari and B-NOMALY, KETU-NOMALIES are classed as a subtype of B-NOMALY in the Chasm-Connected worlds, and as a bipedal companion in Velukaelo. Standing at around 3 feet tall (unless altered by mutations such as Giant, Dragon Body Type, or Always Anthro), these hybrids have B-NOMALY bodies and mutations, while bearing Ketucari-like faces (albeit with a second mouth covered in a beak like a B-NOMALY) and Ketucari-like hands, as well as modified B-NOMALY tails that appear closer to typical Ketucari tails.

Regardless of heritage, their Ketucari traits always appear similarly to standard Ketucari. They have access to all B-NOMALY mutations including Fogholder.

Despite their interspecies heritage, K-NOMs can breed, but only with other B-NOMALIES.

When filling out a form to create a KETU-NOMALY companion, please include both the Companion Race form and the B-NOMALY traits used.

Ketixi Breeding

Each player can enter ONE KETUCARI and ONE RIXIXI into a breeding to get one Ketixi geno per breeding! Ketucari and Rixixi must both be breedable (or a starter) for this event, but the breedings will not reduce their total slots!

To enter a starter, you must do at least a colored headshot or 100 words of that starter!

You have 1 Breeding by default! By entering 2 of the main events and the advertising bonus here, you may obtain up to 3 additional breedings!

Breedings will not be subject to Matriarch Kills or infertility penalties. Breedings will be subject to radiation sickness and inbreeding penalties if relevant. Breeding boosters may not be used. Rixixi are considered to have a disk automatically and can breed with any ketucari gender-wise. These are all considered full litters to you, but you can do what you please with the cubs afterwards.

Starters with lineage skills, Wanderers, and Mechanix may not be rented for this event.

Splits are disabled for this event, as breedings here will only result in one cub every time.

To enter, go HERE and comment with the following form:

Sire:
Permission:

x

Dam:
Permission:

Additional Information: [If you’re leasing a starter, the art goes here. Any other relevant information goes here, such as links to proofs for additional breedings.]

Ketixi Semicustoms

Would you rather have something definite than a random breeding? Having trouble picking out a good pair? Have we got an option for you. You can trade in one of your breedings for a semicustom! The semi will come with 4 Common Markings, 2 Uncommon Markings, and 2 Mutations by default, and you can add on items to increase that amount.

Combination Mutations count as rare genes, but the 2 mutations can be used to make a combination mutation if desired.

To increase the default further, you can draw a colored headshot gift of someone else's Ketucari.com or Chasmho.me character (any species as long as they have an import!) for a Rare gene OR Feather type. To get BOTH a Rare gene AND Feather type, you can upgrade that gift art to a colored fullbody! Make sure the other person's character is marked as open for gift art, or ask first! Gifting art to starters and NPCs does not count for this.

This trade can only be done twice per Veluchasm event.
One can optionally be a Cloning Vat style semi-custom (with the Cloning Vat item included and not needing to be used), with details HERE.

To trade for a Semicustom, go to THIS THREAD with this information!

Breeding proof: [If it was your original breeding, just state as such]
Desired genes:
Other information:
[Such as gift art or details for Cloning Vat! Make sure to also send your gift art manually, Lorekeeper doesn't ping in comments]

Design Station

Intimidated by mutations? Lost? Busy? You can request a design from an admin HERE! - just link to your Ketixi geno!

You can specifically request Anarchisme or IIIXKitsuneXIII as designer if desired!

Designs may take a bit longer than last year's average time due to outstanding obligations. Sorry! Life stuff, yknow

Slot Gifting

Have a breedable Ketucari or Rixixi that you want to give slots out for this event, but are unsure how to do that for this since slots aren’t used? Use THIS THREAD to give a slot to a specific player (or give permission for anyone at all to use the slot), with this form! The Ketucari and Rixixi discords are good places to advertise your Ketu/Ixi’s breedable services, so why not sign up?

Please specify if you want your slot to be available for Cloning Vat semicustoms. Cloning Vat slots cannot be signed to Anyone, they have to be to a specific user.

As these do not take from your Ketucari or Rixixi's slot count, slots for this should be gifted, not sold - they should generally be free. Putting them up for pay what you want offers is allowed as long as free is an option. There can be an option to pay as long as it is not a requirement! Thank you!

Link to import: [Ket/Ixi]
Slot recipient: @ username [Please note that Lorekeeper doesn't ping in comments - send them their slot manually please!]

Main Event 1

There are all sorts of folks to meet at the Festival, and it’s held on all of the Chasm-Connected worlds as well as Velukaelo! While you’re here, why not introduce yourself to someone new? It could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Depict your own Ketucari, Rixixi, or B-NOMALY meeting a different world’s sapient species at the festival! Entries should meet Ketucari’s minimum art requirements - the character you’re meeting does not count as an extra character for wordcount purposes. For the other character, you can use your own characters, starters, or others’ Ixi/Ketucari, but make sure to have permission if drawing others’. It is allowed to draw non-Ixi/Ketucari sapients, such as Heldyr or Arakanth.

Main Event 3

Finally, the KETU-NOMALY one! Various B-NOMALIES and Ketucari are curious about the breeding safety machine, wondering what it can make, the more casual among them wondering who to borrow to try for something interesting. Why don't you give them some ideas?

Design a K-NOM! Make sure you're using B-NOMALY traits (both B-Class and ANARCHIE allowed) for the physical features, and using the mandatory ones like Godkiller Face, Godkiller Hands, Long Tail, and Feather Duster! You have no restriction on how many Anarchic traits you can use, and Fogholder is allowed. Go wild. Fullbody with color or 300 words required.
You do not have to actually keep this design as a character, but if you want to, the option is available! Just take it to the link in Companion Races, use both the provided companion form and list all of the B-NOMALY traits used!

You can commission art pieces for this if you want to!

Ketixi are infertile and cannot breed. They can only be obtained in this event - they will not be able to be obtained via semicustoms, build changes, fogshards, or other methods.

KETU-NOMALIES can breed, but only with B-NOMALIES. They can be obtained in the Veluchasm event or through regular Companion-obtaining means, but cannot be obtained through Chasmhome MYOs. Godkiller traits for B-NOMALIES are only obtainable through these methods or through passing them down in breeding, they are not available in MYOs, trait swaps, and otherwise. KETU-NOMALIES will not have a lineage due to not being bred, except for certain raffle KETU-NOMALIES, this is just as a bit of a fun fact about where they came from.

Ketixi and KETU-NOMALIES will be uploaded to both Chasmhome and Ketucari’s lorekeeper. These imports will have separate stats and some separate details, such as which companions will be uploaded to them, what items they can equip, and so on. The Chasmhome upload can be used on Chasmhome and uses items/quests/prompts native to that site, and Ketucari’s can be used on Ketucari.com and uses Ketucari items/quests/prompts. Rolls of Ketixi and KETU-NOMALIES can double-dip on both Ketucari and Chasmhome. Visual changes carry over to both uploads - if a Ketucari background is used, it will display on both Ketucari and Chasmhome. If a K-NOM's trait is changed on Chasmhome, the image will be changed on Ketucari to reflect that. If an element is learned via Chasmhome and leveled up to the point that it can display, it can display on both Ketucari and Chasmhome. Similar things can double up - you can have an elemental blessing and display elemental radiation.

As a result of their double import, Ketixi need to be submitted to both design approvals. There is a Ketixi thread in Ketucari and Rixixi’s design approval - use two separate stash files, one with Ketucari’s import details and one with Rixixi’s, and drop these off in the individual threads.

However, to keep things simple, KETU-NOMALIES only need to be submitted to the regular companion approvals with a modified form. Please include both the form found at Companion Races as well as all B-NOMALY traits used in the design so we can properly approve them.

Ketixi have a limited gene pool as well as several genes combined from both species. To exist on the Ketixi list, there must be a similar gene on both species. The full list is HERE, on the second tab!

You may use geno-editing items on your Ketixi, such as tokens, fogshard pieces, and statues. Tokens do not have a limit for Ketixi. If using a token/fogshard gene that was fused from two genes for Ketixi to make a new unique gene (eg. Sunny Ember), either the relevant fogshard or token will work. (a Sun Chrono fogshard, an Ember token). Supercharged Alchemy fogshards cannot trade the unique fused genes to a Rixixi, as they cannot be on regular Rixixi.

Mutations must be added by the designer, mutation bases will not be made for Ketixi. Mutations that exist in Rixixi and Ketucari can both pass on the same geno - double albinism is possible, for instance. Horns use Rixixi rules - they are fully customizable and can go anywhere on the head. You can use Ketucari bases for Ketixi horns if desired, but you will have to move them to make them fit.

If a Rixixi Fur Mutation passes, you will be asked what feather type you want it to be replaced by. This may change in the future if we run this event again and more Fur Mutations are released by then!

Hello everybody, Admin Kitsu here, with... some things to talk about.

As I'm sure many have noticed, our activity on Deviant Art itself has dropped to almost zero. Those outside the discord have probably not seen much from us either which we apologize for. We might have a bit of a record of forgetting news updates, but we're hoping to have a monthly one during roll-over from here forward, at least to update things like the Monthly Bounty, announce Wanderer Slot winners and group events and such.

Thing is that that's been made all but impossible on DeviantArt. All news has resultingly been confined to ketucari.com and the discord server. And... honestly, that's not likely to change. We are moving away from DeviantArt as much as humanly possible.
All future events and news will be Here, on Ketucari.com
Why? Well, the short version is that DeviantArt has made itself hostile to the artists it claims to support and protect. We have documented evidence that they have been dishonest about DreamUp. They continue to ignore Groups, make DeviantArt as unfriendly to its users as it can be, and generally make life unpleasant for everyone on dA. Things like Sta.sh comments not giving notifications anymore, the deletion of notifications more than a year old which makes it hard to hold onto genos and breeding slot proofs, us not really having a way to notify users on dA about anything because we can't post journals FROM the group anymore.

 

So. We're slowly trying to move the entire group to ketucari.com.


All the future news updates? They're going to be here. If you aren't regularly checking ketucari.com for news we highly highly recommend that you start, because our dA news updates will be tapering off.
Events are fully ported to the site. All activities and events are here now, we have our own gallery, even!
The Orphanage is halfway ported. We have frameworks in place for a number of other features.
We're still in discussing how to port things like Packs and the Pack Hoard. We're making progress on that with Raptor's help.
So it's a long, slow, and very work intensive project, and things are frankly going to suck in the interim. We're currently split between two sites and as a result, one site flourishes while the other's kinda been left behind.
Which we Do apologize for. It's unfair that we've neglected the DeviantArt users, and we will try to do better when and where we can. But also, if you haven't moved to ketucari.com yet... you're going to need to to continue playing ketucari. We're sorry. It sucks, we know.

And in the meantime: It's really really difficult to put ketucari news on deviantart. Groups can't post journals anymore because you know, why would a group need a central location to update its members? Not everyone follows matriarchs-haunt so we can't just put news there, dA made navigating your notification feed a crapshoot based on how it's set up and if you're on mobile or not and frankly we've been at a loss on it for over a year.

 

However, more presently and in much happier news!

With the release of Wanderers Season 4 we have new genes out!

Specifically we have:
Color Mofifier: Ghost!

Color Mutations: Maltese and Sunwashed

White Mark (Modifier): Patchwork

Marking Modifiers: Tail Rings, Unnatural Segmented, and Wave

Pack Games have been moved on site!



AND
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, ALL STARTER SLOTS HAVE BUILT IN SUN DISKS. This applies retroactively to unused existing starter slots.


We do hope to be better about making news updates from here on out, we promise we're not dead.

Thank you for your time and patience!

Small news!

Hey everybody!

 

The discord's already been informed, but due to some weirdness on dA, we very hastily needed to port Design Approvals to ketucari.com


This was already planned to happen as part of our ongoing efforts to remove ourselves from Deviant Art, but has been forced to happen ahead of schedule.

To explain what caused this abrupt change: The Design Approval journal was forcibly flagged as Mature, with no way for us to undo it and no contact from DeviantArt to the Haunt informing us or giving us a chance to fix whatever was wrong, and thus far no response to the ticket about it. We discovered it was flagged by chance when Anar tried to view the journal while logged out. So far, no other journals are affected that we are aware of at this time, but if you find one please tell an admin via Notes or DMs immediately.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of moving off dA... this does mean that Design Approvals now requires a ketucari.com account. We had hoped to be able to give more warning about this, but deviantart forced our hand.

A larger news post about the migration off of deviant art is coming Soon.
