⛺ Community/site News: ⛺

New People in the Mod Team:
- We have 2 new people in the mod team, this is Azara, who will be a "catch all" mod, doing a little bit of everything, and fervorousfox, who we will be testing for the prompt approval system!
Please welcome in these two!

QOL:
- New users/FTOs will now always be greeted with a starter bag when joining the site when they submit the newbie prompt. This is a conversion of the site opening prompt we had last month. New users/FTOs will now always get a standard MYO to start with, some currency (shards, tokens, and ginkgo leaves), a randomized MYO editing item, a trophy, and one starter EXP (1x EXP)! I hope this helps folks break into the species :>
- All items that can be both bought and sold have received a rebalance in currency to make more sense due to the way pricing something to make it both purchasable and sellable works.
- Since there was a currency rebalance, shards that are given for art and writing has been rebalanced too. You now get more shards for bonuses like artfight, drawing minigame, gift art, NPC art, festival art, Cloakat of the month art, and other things. This rebalance means that bonuses on art give anywhere between 15-20% bonus of the base shards distributed.
- The official conversion of Gratitude Shards to USD has been determined to be 300 Shards = $1 USD as it has been requested by the community for commission purposes. The price of some items like raw materials do not reflect this converstion completely, but potions, MYO editing items, and MYOs have been balanced to apply to this.
- The free MYO people can earn by giving the DeviantArt Masterlist a core badge (When its core runs out Only) has been upgraded from RARE to EPIC since (per account) each grant of Core Memberlist to the Masterlist account can only grant one to the same account once a year. As a reminder, using alts to grant badges is Perfectly Fine as well!
- Event traits have been officially sectioned off by season they are available to make searching for them much easier than before.
- User Inventory now has the ability to be collapsible! This is to help cut down on space so it's easier for users to interact with their inventory. Custom Code by our coder, Sweetstuff!
- Users can now highlight a favorite character of theirs! You can do so by going to your profile and selecting this area on your profile, then you can showcase the character!


- Items will now let you know which location they can be found in. While these items are only compatible with telling you if they can be found in shops, specifically, we're working on getting it to let users know if it's droppable by other means I.E: Dungeons, Foraging, Encounters mechanic, etc. Specific and select items are now sellable! Generally raw materials like raw foods and raw materials cant be sold in their current form, but can be traded with travelers for money, or crafter into an item that IS sellable. all items you craft, have the ability to be sold!

🧬 Species/companion News: 🧬

- Information on all current companions MYO items have been adjusted so that what can and can't be done without a Pet Potion of Oddities item is more clear and readily available information. Review a companion's MYO item to see this information, which is also on the companion's info in the encyclopedia area of the site.
