News Archive: Week 38, 2016

Good morning, are you ready to move on? As I said, Blake and I have (yawn) worked through the night and I can feel good about letting you enter that room. The next puzzle is ready for you to complete - we figure that we should leave that task to you, as you’ve been trusted with they keys and the puzzles so far.

Rejoin the expedition

Boss Info! (will also be on boss page, if you'd prefer not to be spoiled)

Tomorrow, there will be three separate six-hour-long* boss battles. You are welcome to participate in all three and to battle using multiple pets. However, each pet's cumulative damage against only one boss (the one they damaged the most) will count.

These three bosses have identical stats and deal the same amount of damage, and no one boss has any advantage over the others. Start times for each respective battle will be approximately 6pm, 2am, and 10am Subeta time.

Prizes will be awarded based on total damage dealt and also to the best damage-dealers in each tier. The tier-specific prizes for tiers 1-8 and tiers 9-13 are different, and there will be no "double dipping" for the top-in-tier prizes; these will be awarded only to your highest-level participating pet in each tier range. (For example, if you have a tier 1 pet, a tier 9 pet, and a tier 11 pet and all three are among the best damage dealers for their tier, the tier 11 pet and tier 1 pet will be awarded the top prize for their tiers, but the tier 9 pet will not; the prize will go to the next person's pet instead. All other prizes will be awarded to the tier 9 pet as usual.)

*Six hours is simply an estimate, as it's impossible to be precise when predicting overall damage dealt during boss battles. We may tweak the first boss's HP if necessary for timing, but any changes will also be reflected in subsequent bosses. The second and third bosses will not be tweaked and will last as long as they last.

She's tiny, she's darling, and she deserves retribution for causing so much hurt and damage to that delightful bear family's house. She isn't going to play fair, and she seems to be on some kind of steroids. I don't think this is your regular weak and innocent child. It's time to pay for your trespassing and destruction of property, Cinthilocks!

You can summon her with the book Cinthilocks and the Three Bears from the Cash Shop. Good luck defeating this little girl. You're a braver soul than us.

The Broken Wooden Chair will be retiring on October 1st!

To wrap up our anniversary, we have a new forum shop item!

This item will not be retiring from the Forum Shop, so you have plenty of time to grab it!

There was a browser-specific bug (which seems to be affecting some, but not all, Chrome and Firefox users) in the plot's current dominos puzzle that kept solutions from being interpreted as correct. It has been fixed, but if you were affected you will need to refresh the puzzle page in order to submit your solution. Simply submitting the solution after the fix was pushed will not help, as the buggy code that interprets your answer was loaded when the page itself was loaded.

If you are still having any problems with a newly loaded page, please let us know!

Good morning, employees and “adventurers”. We’ve done a little work in the temple, and we should have enough strength to continue on to the next step of our journey. I’ll take a moment to remind you all of the waivers you signed when you joined the team and-

Actually, did Blake make you sign liability waivers? Oh for the love of- Okay, my team, I will remind you of the waivers you signed before joining that absolved me of any legal action resulting from your injury or death. Team Steele… I guess put on some extra padding and grab a big stick.

Enter the Tomb

It wouldn’t be an Anniversary if we didn’t bring back the Bopper challengers!

You have until October 1st to beat the Lagmonster, Lizard Minion, Maliss, and Sql Boppers. They can be found in the event tab at the Battle Coliseum.

No one can resist these doughnuts from the Carnival Prize Tent!

Stop by the Recycling Shop for this pinball machine and sticker!

These items will be sticking around after our anniversary!

What will you grab from this Token Shop restock?

Today marks our 12th Anniversary! We’re starting the celebration off by bringing back these birthday-themed quest shop items!

These items will be retiring on October 1st, so buy them up while you can.



Enjoy this new free gift too!

After sleeping on our conversation from the other day, I’ve agreed to continue on the journey up the mountainside. Something is up there waiting for us. I’m hoping that it’s a valuable something, but I’m willing to concede on an interesting something.

The camp is packed and we’re ready to depart, whatever awaits us.

Join the Expedition!

Mockinjay the Reborn Fester has won the Pet Spotlight!

Maleria is the weekend quest! Do those quests for increased prizes and special rewards!

Do you have enough carnival tickets for these new carnival prizes?

The Hare-chu has loot now! We’ve cleared wins, so you can go back and fight it.

Heeeeeyyyy, the party has arrived! So what’s the deal, what adventure are we doing? To be totally honest, I’m kind of sick of being trotted out once a year for a bunch of 4th-wall-breaking references and pecker jokes. I can tell jokes any time of year! FREE ELWOOD, FREE ELWOOD, FREE ELWOOD!

So I’m basically just going to join Blake’s team so we can hang out- Hey, wait a minute, all of those other NPCs have been getting free stuff? Forget hanging out with my friend, I want free stuff! Oh, you're all out of free stuff? You're looking really tired around the eyes too. Hmm, maybe I can help YOU out instead. You just have to promise to really celebrate the next Elwood day, ok? I'll need tonight to get ready, so rest up at base camp and try not to throw too many banana skins at Saggi's head.

Note: Don't worry, Elwood isn't giving any team extra plot points!

Leialoha the Chibi Feli has won the Pet Spotlight!

The camp has been packed up, and your team is ready to depart! It’s time to meet your team on the trail and resume your journey up the mountain.

Join the Expedition!

Everyone did such a good job questing! Emma is going to be so pleased. I can't wait to get out into the jungle, so many lovely plants and creatures to see!

It seems Team Steele were the ones that were able to do the most quests - I will be joining their team out on the trail. Best of luck to Team Gold!
