It's February, stuff is pink, I'm your host, Anarchie , let's get down to business.

The slot raffle is still open, even with the import raffle going on! It's your last chance to get a slot from these specific Wanderers with an inbuilt guard and disk! If you want in on that, check out the Wanderer Slot Raffle!

Bounty

The Monthly Bounty is located on the deviantArt page for the group! This month's bounty is:

Love Is In The Air 2024

Eros says:
“Love is in the air this month! Tell me, who's your sweetheart? Do you have one? Is there someone for whom you have unrequited love? Are you not interested at all? I’d love to know!"

Check it out and read more about bounties on the dA page!

This bounty has an Eros slot raffle tied to it, we highly recommend taking a look!

Current Events

Matchmaker, Match Me A Make

Matchmaker 2024 is up! Depict a Ketucari or two (or three, or four, or... maybe not five, as they wouldn't all be rollable...) doing something romantic and post on in there! You'll need a ketucari with their BEs done - this does not need to be the ketucari you draw/write about for your entry, they just need to be able to spread some neat genes. Read more about the requirements in the post!

Queerplatonic and similar pairs are allowed! Aroace spectrum ketucari allowed!

Ocean Shadows: Phase Three Ending Soon

Ocean Shadows is currently in Phase Three! It's ending on February 15th at 11:59 PM PST, please make sure to get your entries in before then!

As a reminder, Garochs and the new genes are now available for semicustoms/tokens/etc, instead of the expected March, due to Ocean Shadows starting without them for a month.

Wanderers Cycling

As stated above, Wanderers Season 4 is ending soon. This is the last call for anything you wanted to do with these wanderers while they're still group-owned. A new set of Wanderers will be coming in Season 5! I'll give you a spoiler, it's mostly Garochs.

Pack Revamp Releasing Extremely Soon

We're moving packs to the site and revamping some features, such as making deity alliances much easier. We just need to get a bit more set up in pack inventories (which are almost done being ported to this site!) and then we'll be ready!

Singing Vale Raid Soon

The Singing Vale is now at 217/250 points towards a raid at time of writing this - 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!

Anarchie is planning an unofficial (player-run, not group-run) siege on the Singing Vale via the Territory Wars feature in two separate packs at the same time, to get the raid points up faster. Please feel free to ask eir about it if you're interested.

That's all for now! See you when packs are fixed up!

Anarchie here, welcome to January!

This month's Wanderer slot winners are:

Bounty

The Monthly Bounty is located on the deviantArt page for the group! This month's bounty is:

WELCOME TO THE SOLSTICE FESTIVAL!

(Kaur is mad about festivity by Anarchisme)

It's back!
Once more Suadriga emerges from the far north to bring joy and merriment to those who have survived another year.
And this time, he brought a Feast!

However, to partake in the feast, you must do well unto your neighbor! What does that mean?
Gifts.

So many Gifts.

For Twelve Days, he will be handing out presents.

You may enter for each present only once, and only on the day that it is being offered.

How do you receive a gift?
By giving one!

Daily Solstice Festival

Gifting

The requirements are simple!

Your minimum requirements are a colored headshot OR 100 words.
The catch? The ketucari CANNOT belong to you. No using Co-owns to get around this.

Your headshots may be sketchy, you may INCLUDE your own ketucari, but the focus should be on the recipient.
To account for this, we asked the lovely Draginraptor to fix up our Gift Art settings! They are now fully searchable, gift writing settings are now actually visible, and you can now set your gift setting en-masse if you want specific default settings!

There's one more catch to your gifts, however, in the spirit of trying to include everyone, and that is: You CANNOT gift to the same person two days in a row.
If you want to spoil your bestie rotten, that's fine! But every other day you have to share the love.
You may also only gift to a Starter once (unless additional Starters are Player-Owned Wanderers).

We added our Gallery feature for this event last year! If you use it for your piece, please make sure you submit to the Winter gallery!
For anyone hosting their images outside of the site gallery, Please do be sure to share your art on THIS THREAD to ensure your recipient sees it!

Holiday ketucari Raffle

As per tradition, some new friends have come to join the festivities! It seems these ketucari are being sought after by birds, will you help them find safety?
When you post your entry, please say whether or not you are joining the raffle!
As a reminder, free raffle ketucari cannot be sold for real life money.

Firn Slots Return!

This year there is NO limitation on who can enter for Firn slots! It doesn't matter how many Tauratu children or slots you may or may not have, or even if you own Tauratu yourself, you're welcome to enter for Firn's raffle!

This year Five Firn slots will be raffled!

-Firn 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.

Simply comment here to enter for Firn Slots!

Hey, sorry that this is late, Anarchie is having medical issues, but not like, severely, I'm still here to give the update :3

Shakes and Quakes

Kartha says:
"HEY! NEWCOMMERS! We've been getting a string of earthquakes from AROUND the western sea, and need eyes on the groUND! WATCH FOR TSUNAMIS AS YOU CHECK THE LOCAL TERRAIN FOR CHANGES DUE TO THE QUAKES! REPORT BACK TO ME WHEN YOU'RE DONE!"

Check it out and read more about bounties on the dA page!

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!

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!

Hello again, Anarchie here with your monthly news, November edition!

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!

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

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 (:
