March News!

A Little Break...

 

We've had several events back-to-back, so for the sake of the staff and users alike, we're taking a month off of any kind of events! There are still plenty of things to do if you wish though, so let's talk about some updates that might be of interest!
Please do note Herboreal is on hiatus. Please contact Nopal or other moderators for group assistance at this time.

 

STorylines Refresh

Storylines have been adjusted a bit for this month!

Keeping things OrDERLY

When we first launched the new site a year ago, Storylines prompts were all locked behind one another so that they were done in order as intended. However, leaving them locked kept the following prompts information hidden, so users couldn't plan out a story in advance. Our dev Wisp has helped us so the prompts can continue to be locked, but their information will still be visible before you unlock them by doing the prerequisite prompt!

Award Cabinet

Those of you who are longtime players may remember that we had charm racks, flower crowns, and a ceramic art piece to collect as a character completed storylines. Collecting these pieces and putting them on the charm rack was a bit of a pain for users. Now, your character will be given an award each time a Storyline prompt is completed, and that award will be veiwable from their profile! Once the character has completed their chosen Storyline, they will recieve the finished product as an item they keep in their inventory.

Visit the elkh's profile and select "AWARDS" at left (highlghted in black here)

 

Storyline awards as they appear in your elkh's award cabinet!

 

Once the storyline is completed, the finished collection of items will be placed in your elkh's inventory.
(your elkh's inventory is also viewable from their profile page)

 

Claiming past awards

If your elkh has already earned some or all of the storyline rewards, please submit a claim and attach the character(s). We will verify by looking at their rank points. If you have submitted the prompts on the website and are missing rank points, please send in a claim with your old prompts listed in the comments. If you have not submitted old storyline prompts yet from back in the DA group days, please submit them through the prompts themselves so you can unlock the next storyline. NOTE please tell us in the comments if you've already received the gildes for these old prompts.

See WORLD >PROMPTS >Village Stories/Wild Pact/Oasis Dreams/Desert Trail

 

Storylines Completion Rewards soon

Each storyline will have its own completion reward SOON! We have some ideas of what we'd like to award but we'd also like to hear from our players! Learn more at the end of the news post.

 

The exploration continues!


Art by Thy.

We thought the Matsana Exploration prompt was so much fun that we would keep it open indefinitely! You can visit the Matsana Jungle with your elkh anytime henceforth and earn a Mossy Chest with a selected random prize inside. Please note that the Stars of Aiti potion has been replaced with a habapi MYO ticket and the Jungle Leaves Potion removed! We won't be using mossy gildes anymore, and will instead directly deliver the chest when the prompt is awarded. Likewise, exploration points are no longer a part of the prompt.

See WORLD >PROMPTS >Exploration Prompts

 

New Shroomkin & habapi Prompts!

Thanks to mod Pandelirious, we have a few new Shroomkin prompts!  The new Shroomkin prompts will earn you a little wooden badge for your Shroomkin's award cabinet (they can wear the badge on their shawl if they like!) We hope to flesh out gameplay with shroomkin more in the future. 

Habapi prompts are coming soon! The mods are coming up with some fun general prompts, exploration prompts and storyline prompts for our tusky friends! We will release these in waves, the first wave should be up by the end of this week. We will edit this post to include more information when we are done.

-March 5th: First wave of general prompts have been added!

New wrapping papers have been added to the shop!
As a reminder, new papers will be released throughout this year and will start repeating seasonally in Winter.

 

Designer Millo went a little overboard this season!
There are TWO sets of new spring accessories to choose from: Daffodil Clips + Cheery Robin Shawl or Fairy Ring Collar + Mushroom Clips.

Bepotelkh spring 2023 survey

We would love to hear your feedback! We made an annonymous survey covering a variety of topics. It's officially been 1 year since we launched our site and we could not have done it without our wonderful players and mods. Help us get some ideas on things you'd like to see and where we can improve! And there is an extra raffle ticket at the end if you choose to participate. Thank you so much <3
Note: Please put the code word in the comment section of your claim! We will fix the instructions soon!

 

Odds & Ends

  • The Featured Character has been updated on the front page
  • Beast Trials resumes in April. We will be repeating an old trial in April, with a new one to follow for Summer.
  • Speaking of which, July Beast Trials are being moved to June to avoid conflicting with artfight.
  • The CG shop has been updated with a new restricted trait potion
  • Habapi masterlist has been added to the BROWSE menu
  • Prompts Categories page has been updated with art + new Exploration and Habapi categories
  • Storylines prompts have been updated with art

I'm not interested in the piebald so not using the secret code word but I do want to comment to say I did the survey and I hope the staff enjoys their break! I only joined last month but I think y'all def deserve it based on what I've seen so far and what I know you were putting out before.
