Greetings all

Thanks for participating in the Sylvan Hunt for our new event's first week. Your folks' participation and acorn-hunting has definitely paid off. We now have the Seasonal Shop open with a few of the first items available for this event. 

But we're not done quite yet! Once we hit 300 acorns we'll be opening up another tier of purchasable items.

So keep your eyes open and follow those trails, because where Moinir treads, these acorns spread. 

Now onto the next item on our docket...

Our specialty Druaesi sale is about to end!

On April 8th the sale will end, and this specialty Druaesi will wander back off into the Dark Forest, bringing their Pearlescent Forest Fey foreground item with them.

If you're on the fence about whether you'd like to give this Druaesi a home or not, time is running out! 

Coming soon...

Finally, we have a new shop coming soon! Hosted by one esteemed 'Adventurer Extroidinaire', this shop travels to and fro across Eniv. With wares marvelous, sparkling, dangerous and as exciting as the adventures that yielded them; this is going to be a favorite shop for many of our residents here.

Especially those with a flare for the dramatic, and an eye for the dangerous.

We're glad you all let us have a little fun yesterday, and we hope everyone who claimed their daily gift enjoys their limited edition April Fools Druaesi!

Today, we're excited to show the real rebase for the Druaesi;

Our new Druaesi base has three different patterns, Bark, Woodgrain, and Earthen.
All three have been pre-recolored into a variety of hues for your convenience! 
Along with the new bases, we've also transferred and recolored a handful of markings;

• Appaloosa
• Blanket
• Blaze
• Pangare
• Piebald
• Stardust
• Stockings
• Aurora 
• Moon Phases

Of course, these aren't the only markings available to your Druaesi. You can create your own version of any existing marking for your Druaesi, and we'll be transferring more premade assets soon.
We've also made scales and hooves to fit the new base, and the horns for the other herds may currently be used, though they're still being transferred (it's a lot of assets! )

The Druaesi also have a handful of new assets as well, like Body Hollows to store plants and souls, and their own Facial Markings (only available to Druaesi or Druae-blessed Enivi).

A Designing your Druaesi guide will be available shortly ;)

Anyone who currently owns a Druaesi is being given a chance this month to redesign them. Of course, you're welcome to use the previous assets as well, this is more of an expansion than a replacement.
You're also welcome to keep your current Druaesi as is.

How to get a Druaesi 

Druaesi are Legendary rarity Enivi. They're intentionally difficult to obtain.
That being said, we do have a few ways you can get your own Druaesi!

Participating in this Event

Participating in the Sylvan Hunt will give you a few chances to earn your own Druaesi. Once the Holiday Shop is stocked with Sylvan Hunt items, you'll be able to earn an Ancient Sprout (a Druaesi MYO) with acorns.
You can also find an Ancient Sprout through exploring the Dark Forest, though it is very rare.

Wyld Fey Druaesi Auction

We also have the Wyld Fey Druasi Auction!
The auction is in USD and lasts until Friday the 8th. 
(See image above)

Enivi of the Month

It seems fitting that our Enivi of the Month is...

Sylvan!

Remember that drawing Sylvan this month earns you extra Star Shards!

Finally, a few fixes and bugs we're aware of:

Site Fixes and Bugs

• We're aware that images aren't showing for the Gardening game, and we're currently looking into it!
• Also, please be aware that if you're playing the Gardneing game on mobile, you'll need to enter landscape mode for it to show properly.
• We've updated the footer to fix the mislinked news and sales posts.
• Yes, we promise the Acorns in the scavanger hunt are on pages everyone can find them, haha!

Welcome to the Sylvan Hunt!

Each year, the Druaesi host a special, sacred event to honor the forest spirits and the coming of spring.
Trees come into flowering bloom, food becomes plentiful, and the forest itself wakes from it's wintery slumber.
The Druaesi honor this event with a celebration including games, offering, and the event's title, the Sylvan Hunt.

A race through the trees to catch the elusive and clever Moinir, a glowing, mystical rabbit-like being that enhances the forest's growth wherever it hops. 
Enivi are urged to chase this spirit (it's all in good fun!), and if they can catch it, Moinir is said to bestow great blessings and rewards. 
Let's take a closer look at the event!

Gardening

As any Ortusi will tell you, the first stage in spring is to start your first plot!
What's that? You've never farmed or gardened before? Well, lucky for you the Druaesi are avid collectors of seeds. 
Claim your first plot for free here and get started today.
Additional plots cost 10 Star Shards, and each can be tended to every 24 hours.

As you care for your plants they'll grow! Different plants grow at different speeds, and some drop more than others. 
Using fertilizer or watering your plants can help them grow faster.
Once they're grown, you'll be able to harvest your crops and use them in crafting.

You can buy everything you'll need to get started from Sophie's Shoppe!

Crafting

With the new gardening feature we've also introduced some new crafting recipes.

You can now craft Accessory Dye to change the color of your accessories.
Some dyes can be created strictly from plants you've grown or found, while others need a combination of two dyes. 
All these recipes are currently unlocked for all players, but more secret colors will be available in the future.

You can find the full guide for Accessory Dye, how to make it, and how it can be used here!

The Sylvan Hunt

The Sylvan Hunt itself is a large event that will be portioned out through the month.
First, be sure to be on the lookout for Moinir, a glowing rabbit-like spirit that travels through the wood. Follow the tracks and collect evidence of this spirit to finally try to catch them.
Moinir can grant many blessings and rewards, from seeds for your garden to one of their own kin, the Moini. 

Good luck and happy "hunting"!

Other prompts will start to roll out through the month (beginning today), including games and prompt lines that can reward you with your own Druaesi MYO.

We've also heard that if we collect enough Acorns we may be able to lure Moinir out of hiding!
Check out our Acorn tracker on our event page here!

Skip a Prompt

You can now find Prompt Skip tokens in The Hidden Cove!
These items allow you to skip a single prompt in a prompt or story line to move on to the next.
The rewards and effects are different depending on the type of Prompt Skip you use, so be sure to read them over before you buy one!

New Accessories

We're introducing some new accessories that may help you survive your time in the Dark Forest.

Long Swords, short swords, chest plates and more will be available in Sophie's Shoppe and the Seasonal Shop!

Special versions will be able to be bought with Acorns rather than Star Shards.

The Druaesi Rebasi!

It's been a lot of work, but we heard your cries for a more simple Druaesi base to help in the design process. 
We've put hours upon hours of work into the new base, and we're excited to finally be able to share it with you;

(click for larger image)

With this stunning rebase comes new assets like "Generic Leaf Ears", "Grass Tail", "Blue Grass Tail", "Dried Grass Tail", and a variety of hair like "Grass Hair", "Blue Grass Hair", and "Dried Grass Hair". 
Markings are welcome to be added to this new base! 
We do plan to stick with it for a while, so we hope you all enjoy it!

As always, please do let us know what you think about the updates. We love to hear your thoughts!

It's a big, pre-event update for everyone! 

First off, let's start with our first Sponsored Companion, the Luan!

A big thanks to FireAtHeart for using their Wishing Star to bring us the lovely new Luan, a magical, loyal companion who may have served Lunae herself. 
To get your own Luan, you'll need to enroll into the Drukworth Academy and claim a familiar. There, you'll have a small chance at finding this rare companion.
You can also find a Luan by placing in the top 3 for the Beauty Contest. 

Good luck!

Customs Open

In more good news, we're finally open for Custom Content Commissions!
If you've been itching to support the site and get your own specialized traits, accessories, backgrounds, and markings added into the game, your chance has finally arrived.
You can find more information about Custom Content here!

As always, if you have any questions just let us know.

We're Looking For Moderators

With the community growing and our events getting a little bigger, we're on the hunt for a new volunteer moderator to join our team.
You can find more info and apply by clicking here.

General Site Updates

• The Blood Bay Base Applicator, Blue Silver Base Applicator, and Maple Base Applicator have been removed from our databases. If you had one (or more) of these in your inventory, they've been replaced with a Color-Changing Potion.
• Items have been scaled down from 200x200px to 100x100px. This is to help load times and the overall look of the site (as well as crowding on mobile). The exception to this are the My Sweet Enivi as they're a collectors item and having them sized down by half removed the ability to see some of them clearly.
• We've replaced Enivi "clans" with Enivi "Herds". 

Now, for our weekly community question. Answer for a special reward!

With the weather warming up, what's your favorite spring-time activity?

Thanks to everyone for submitting your name suggestions, and for voting on our new shop owner's name!

We're excited to finally share the results;

In Third Place - Adeline (submitted by Synesthesia )

In Second Place - Drista (submitted by DemonHearts )

And in a landslide victory, first place goes to...

Genevieve!

(submitted by DesertDumb )

But wait! There's more!

There was another name submitted that we absolutely adored, but thought it'd be better suited to an upcoming new character. 
Keep your eyes peeled for Malibu, coming soon!

Since Malibu was a name chosen to be used for an character, we'll be awarding DesertDumb a Month of on-site Premium*!

Thank you again to everyone who submitted names. We're going to be hosting more fun competitions like this in the future.

Community Question!

What kind of music do you listen to while you're creating works of art? (Writing, drawing, cooking - whichever you prefer)

On-Site Premium is a site-only feature, and doesn't include access to the Patreon feed.

Let's start this news post off with a fun community vote update!

We've narrowed down the name for our newest NPC, the owner of the Unique Boutique, to three options.
Thank you to everyone who recommended a name! There were some really beautiful and fantastic names, but ultimately we had to narrow it down.

Now we ask you, the community! Which name do you think best suites our store owner?

Adeline, Drista, or Genevieve/Genie?

Cast your vote here!

Voting will be left up over the weekend, and the new name and winner of our Name the NPC contest will be announced Monday!

Coloring Pages

We've been working hard on making new, fun activities for our community. 
It's been requested and suggested in the past, and now we've delivered. 

You can find Coloring Pages in the navigation bar under Resources.
Feel free to submit them to our new Coloring Pages Gallery, where you could get 1 - 3 SS.

The files come in both a .PNG and .PSD. 
Not seeing what you need? As always, let us know!

Finally, a question for our community!

Should the Coloring Pages stay in our nav bar under "Resources", or be moved to "Games"?

Thanks for your ongoing support!

We have a very large update today! 

At least, we have a very large companion to start the update off with.

Do you find yourself attracting a vast amount of Kite Goldies when fishing? Well, it could be a sign from a higher being.
The Grand Royal Kitefish and Grand Dream Kitefish will join your Enivi if you can collect 100 Kite Goldies (each). 
These giant companions can be obtained via crafting. To give some perspective;

We expect more variations of these will show themselves soon.

Happy Fishing!

Lovely Base and markings Color

The Lovely base color has been added to our Art Packs for easy use.
Your Enivi can now be a wonderful shade of pink. You'll just need to use a color-change potion to make it happen.
We've also pre-made Appaloosa, Tiger Stripes, Pangare, and Badger Mask in the new, Lovely color.

Pearls for Your Loved Ones

We've added the beautiful Pearl Necklace accessory for your Enivi's fancy night out.
It comes in four variations; 
Pearl Necklace, Pink Pearl Necklace, Rainbow Pearl Necklace, and Black Pearl Necklace. 
These can all be found in our Art Packs, and will restock in the Unique Boutique!

More Love!

For the rest of the month the Lovely My Sweet Enivi can be grabbed for your collection!

Lovely MSE will be found randomly in Sophie's Shoppe. Add them to your collection while you can!

Swan Wings

Swan Wings have been added to the game and art packs. 
You'll be able to get Swan Wings through a variety of Prompts and through Mysterious Slime (which you can earn randomly through racing and exploring).

They're a very romantic touch for your Enivi.

Site Updates

Finally, a few smaller site updates we've made this week;

• All items that need to be opened for use now have a small open chest in their icon. The exception is the Gachapon capsules. 
• We've removed common base applicators as they served little purpose. If you had one in your inventory, we've replaced it with a Color Change Potion.
• We've added a variety of emojis to the Discord server.
• We'll begin hosting Flash Prompts on the Disord server this week. Be sure to check it out!
• Want to know what's coming next? Check out our Patreon!

SITE FLASH PROMPT!

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading our news post!
Tell us what your Enivi considers romantic. 100 words minimum.
The reward is a random non-companion item from today's news post! (One per user)

Happy Wednesday!

We're happy to finally announce some big changes with our shops.

Sophie's Shoppe Changes

Sophie has been overworked these past few months and is feeling a little run down. 
Being the sole shop owner in Eniv is exhausting, so we've brought in a familiar face to help out!

Sophie's Shoppe will now stock general items and traits. 
Common items and traits are restocked once a week to make sure they're readily available, though she does stock up to rare and some seasonal items.

Unique Boutique

The Unique Boutique is our new shop, and can be found just under Sophie's Shoppe in the navigation menu.
This new shop is hosted by a familiar (yet nameless) face who we'll talk about more later. The shop stocks accessories and background regularly. 
As a reminder, accessories and backgrounds are one-time-use items like trait applicators. 

Shops In General

Our coding for shops got a great overhaul as well!

Shops how automatically restock based on the rarity and season for the items.
Common and Uncommon items restock once a week, and will stock between 1 and 10 of each item.
Rare items restock once a month and stock between 1 and 5 of each item.
Seasonal items restock based on their rarity, but only for the months they're meant to be available.

This should make finding the items you're looking for much easier.

New Item

We've added a new item for you all!
Remove your Enivi's mane, hair, and feathering with a razor! Just be careful while using it!

This item will be stocking in Sophie's Shoppe.

Naming Contest

The owner of the Unique Boutique is still in need of a name. They've been around for a while, but still haven't been given an identity.

The Contest
Suggest a name for our new shop owner!

Prizes
1st Place: 50 Gems and 1 Uncommon MYO
2nd Place: 25 Gems and 1 Common MYO
3rd Place: 1 Common MYO

How To Enter
Entering is easier than ever.
Obviously, no purchase needed. 
Just post your name suggestions here!
Feel free to suggest as many as you like. 

_{Name Me!}

Grey and Tony will talk over the entries and choose the top 3 names, which will then be put to community vote next Friday (the 25th).

We can't wait to see what names you come up with!

Hey Keepers of Eniv family!

As the game grows, we feel it's more and more important to involve our community and to keep you all in the loop with what's to come.

Each quarter we'll be doing a Community Town Hall meeting in our Discord server.
These meetings will go over what we're working on, what's in the plans for the near future (spoiler free), and will have a question and answer segment as well.

Our first Community Town Hall will be on Friday, February 11th at 6PM EST (3PM PST/Site time).

The meeting will take place in our Discord Server. 
We'll also be uploading highlights to our YouTube Channel.

If you have a question you'd like answered, let us know in the comments here.

We're looking forward to seeing you there!

We're excited to say we have some pretty big updates to announce today, so we'll roll right into it!

Tutorials At Last

We know our community has wanted them, so as we get our site smoothed out we'll also be making tutorials.
These are a mix of written and video tutorials to help our players who learn better either way.
But wait, this isn't just another promise to make them, they're here!

You can find videos on things from getting your account activated to how to use our Art Packs on our YouTube channel here.

Along with regular tutorial updates, we're also planning lore-based video updates on our YouTube channel as well, so be sure to subscribe!

We'll be sure to keep things organized into proper playlists so the information is easy to find.

Prompts Page Redone

The Prompts page has been completely redone!

We understand that the old layout for our prompts was confusing and made things difficult to find. Going forward, the new layout should help you easily understand which prompts are available.
We've also added a feature to make story-lines of prompts easier to understand. Now, if you need to complete one prompt before another, they'll be listed. You also won't be able to submit for the second prompt before completing the first.
Out of the Box is currently being slightly reworked, but will return shortly!

We've debated moving the Drukworth academy away from it's current format and into something  more like this. Let us know what your thoughts are in the comments!

Racing Items, Prompts, and Challengers

Racing has no become available in Eniv!

Well, casual racing between friends.

Enivi can now race one another or NPCs (Sam for now, with more to come). 
Race results are rolled by staff. They're based off your Enivi's speed and agility stats, a sort of 1d20 roll, and any items you'd like to add in to help you.
Random events can also occur while racing. Anything from spraining an ankle to tripping into a puddle of Mysterious Slime (don't worry, it won't effect your Enivi unless they choose to eat it out of their fur - blech). Ankle sprains will keep your Enivi from being able to race for up to a week, or can be cured with a Waterskin of Mineral Water.

Speaking of mineral water, three new items have been added to the site to help your Enivi train and win their races.
A Waterskin of Mineral Water will add a temporary, one-time temporary boost of 3 stat points for your race. This can be found through fishing and adventuring prompts.
Rainbow Juice is crafted from Rainbow Berries and can give a one-time temporary boost of 5 stat points for your race. 
Fish Oil gives a one-time temporary stat boost of a whopping ten stat points! It can be crafted from fish (the number of fish depends on the rarity of the fish). It's best not to ask for more information than that about how it's made.

You can view the new racing prompts in a mix of Story Mode and Explore Eniv.
