Subeta Team Contest: Anthro (Week of Jul 12) is open.

The theme is Anthro. Entry is free, the prize pool is 50,000,000 sP split between the top entries, and it runs until July 19, 2026 at 12:00 AM.

Put a look together

While you've all been doing millions (billions? trillions?) of quests over the years, the quest givers have had trouble sourcing the rarer items on Subeta. No longer. They've brought in a crew of Quartermasters to find and supply those items... from your shops.

All day long, the quartermasters work their way through the user shops and buy rarity 90-99 items, paying your asking price up to a cap for each rarity. A ton of these sit unsold, mostly because they have no use beyond being rare, and now they have a buyer. A few rules keep it from being farmed; the Quartermasters page has the caps and how it works. The buyers have a set amount of sP they can spend per day, so it's not a promise that your items will get bought.

Note: This is one of my first real attempts, in more than 20 years, at putting a floor under the price of anything on Subeta. It's an experiment, and I'll be tuning it as I watch how it goes.

I've added a range of "new" retired items to the NPCs found on the Sidelines in the Ballroom. I attempted to pull retired foods and clothing from past holidays. Enjoy!

Just a reminder: the Masquerade ends at 11:59pm on July 15. The Hacked Waitron and Ballroom Enforcer (new challengers this year) will both retire at the end of the holiday due to their ties to the dance floor. The rest of the Masquerade challengers will retire 11:59pm on July 19.

Around 11:59pm today (July 7), I will be adding "new" retired items to the prize books for the various NPCs on the Sidelines. I will not be closing the Sidelines while I add items since a lot of you are working towards the new challenger.

I'll add the "new" retired items first, then remove the older retired prizes. I'll be as quick as possible not to disturb y'alls effort to help the NPCs. The new items of this year (like the neon halos or the glow belts) will not be removed.

Have you been keeping the various Gossips fed and hydrated? Unfortunately, you've taken that job away from the Hacked Waitron, causing her to malfunction. Instead of helping, she's ready to fight. To unlock: Give 1,000 food and/or drinks to the NPCs and then visit the Ballroom.

Security is intense in the ballroom. The Ballroom Enforcer finds dancing with the gossips pretty suspicious, so get ready for a battle if you do. To unluck: Dance with all five gossips and then visit the Ballroom.

Not enough battling for you? Take a break from the floor to fight older challengers like Blaire, the Mecharachnid, Baron Blanaby, and more!
