Site News

Happy Friday, everyone!

We've added a few new achievements and a new gallery.

Staff Features Gallery

To celebrate pieces of artwork submitted that are exceptional, we've made the Staff Features Gallery!

These are pieces we feel show the artist pushing their personal limits, trying new things outside their comfort zone, display exceptional storytelling, or are just so beautiful we felt they deserved some extra attention.

Once a piece is moved to our Staff Features gallery, it'll stay there for everyone to see.
The artist will also recieve the Staff Feature Award!

If you see a piece you believe should be featured, feel free to recommend it to a staff member in our Discord Server!

Community Spotlight

The Community Spotlight Award is another new achievement we're adding.

This award will be given out once a month to community members who have really shown their Keepers of Eniv spirit.

We'll be keeping an eye out for non-staff members who are generous, helpful, and caring both on-site and in our Discord Server.

If you see someone who you think should be given the Community Spotlight Award, let us know!

Staff Thanks

This achievement is given to volunteer staff members who have active as part of staff for at least 3 months.

Our staff volunteer moderators do a lot to keep the community running, and we (the Founders) thought they deserved a little more love and appreciation!

So, here is a big, public "THANK YOU! " to our wonderful moderator team!

Summer's End

Summer seems to be coming to an end so quickly this year!

We thought we'd remind everyone of the seasonal changes coming soon;

• The Beauty Contest Seasonal Wreath will be changing September 1st.
• The Summer Bug Hunt will come to a close on September 1st, and the Bug Catching Net will disappear until next year.
• Spring and summer fish will disappear on September 22nd. Autumn fish will begin appearing the same day.
• Spring and summer plants will no longer be able to grow in your Garden as of September 22nd, but new autumn plants will become available.
• Summer shop items will no longer stock as of September 1st, and will be replaced with our first round of autumn items.

Be sure to get anything you might miss before the season changes!

Final Summer Sales Enivi

Finally, Capricious, our last summer sales Enivi, will be retired if not sold by September 1st.
If you'd like to claim them, be sure to do it before then or they'll slip away back into the sea.

Thanks very much for your continued support, and we hope you're all enjoying the game!

Have questions, comments, or suggestions? Be sure to join our Discord Server!

Hello everyone! Just wrapping up some announcements for the final few weeks of our summer events.

Updates to the Star Shard Guide!

The Star Shard guide now has an updated set of infographics related to how we determine different types of shading!
This should help our members in the future to pre-plan out their work, do calculations before submiting the finished pieces, and will help serve as a guideline for what level of finish will fit what they're looking to do. 

Final Month for the Summers Wreath! 

This month is the last one to obtain our beautiful Summer Wreath reward from the Beauty Contest! Winners will obtain the floral decoration and be able to dress to impress year round. 
Why just don it during the winning ceremonies? 

She Sells Sea Shells In the Shoppe Scavenger Hunt!

For those who are still on the hunt for those beautiful sea shells, we have another round of the scavenger hunt going on now! As we come to the end of the summer event, we're finally starting to gather all of the shells up.


That's a wrap! Thank you all for a fantastic summer event so far. It's been filled with the excitement and energy we're always so stoked to see from the folks in our community. 
You all make this game thrive. 

Our server host is doing some maintenance  today, so the site may be spotty or have some unexpected errors.

Service should be back to normal tomorrow morning.

Thanks for your patience in the meantime and be sure to check out our Discord Server for more activity!

August is our one year anniverary for Keepers of Eniv!
This marks 1 year of our release to our Kickstarter backers (who we want to thank again, because we couldn't have done it without you!)

To celebrate, we have a few fun updates;

Enivi Raffle Reminder

We have an awesome Enivi raffle going on this month and it's easy to claim 100 free Gems!
Check out this video by our event Co-Host, Siren the Gamer to find out how to get your free Gems and free Raffle Tickets!

Party Supplies

We have a few fun party supplies to customize your Enivi for the month.
Party hats, holographic garland, and our classic balloons are available now!

We also have a huge variety of bows, including our special "Keepers of Eniv" themed bow!

Rare Color-Changing Potion

Finally, you can change your base or marking color to uncommon and rare colors with the Rare Color-Changing Potion!

Currently, you can find this restocking occasionally in Sophie's Shoppe, but as the name says it is a rare item.

So, which colors can it be used for?

Currently;

• Silver (metallic)
• Gold/Gilded (metallic)
• Puffin
• Marbled
• Glitter
• Pearlescent
• Iridescent

These can be applied to your full base, a specific trait, or a marking.
Note: if you apply it to your base, you can apply it to your tail, ears, etc. Markings would be seperate. 

Seasonal Fish Traits Update

After some discussion, we realized we made the seasonal fish traits a little too difficult to obtain. 
We wanted them to be challenging, but not impossible, so we've rolled them back a bit.

Shark Fins, Oceanic Back Scales, and Oceanic Tails have been lowered from 25 to 10 required elements.
Oceanic Face Scales and Oceanic Feathering have been lowered to 5 required elements.

We hope this helps you all earn these traits!

Some Other Smaller Site Updates

• The error when players received when trying to level up their Enivi has been resolved.
• Our item and Enivi sales have been moved from the Discord server to the forums to try to help the forums become more active.
  You can still post links to your sales in the Discord server to gain more attention for them, but the ad itself should be on our forums now.
• Yes, the amount of cheese we've been giving away is intentional ;)

Want to be a closer part of the communty? Be sure to join our Discord server!

A strange melody seems to be calling to you from the ocean.

Will your Enivi follow?

The Siren's Call is a Co-Hosted event brought to you by Keepers of Eniv and Siren the Gamer!

Be sure to check out Siren's YouTube Channel and Discord Community!

All month long you'll have opportunities to explore and follow the trail to discover the mysterious sirens that have appeared through Eniv.
Collect the shells you find. You'll be able to trade them for special Siren's Call genes and accessories!

Scavenger Hunt

We have another scavenger hunt for you all, but this one is a little special.
Be prepared to do some off-site exploring through Siren's pages as well!
Getting stuck? Don't worry, this month our staff members are prepped to help you with these hidden shells.

Get your first clue here;

Siren's Call

Enivi Give-A-Way

Siren is also giving away three beautiful, custom Enivi!

You can find all the info on how to enter the raffle in their video here!

New Items and traits

We have a few other new items and traits for this event!

From Siren's Call Ears, Tail, Hair, Shell Horns, and so much more. 
Legendary Traits can be found in the Event Shop and can be purchased with Shells you find.
Rare and Uncommon traits can be found in Sophie's Shoppe.

Also, don't forget to pick up this month's Exclusive My Sweet Enivi doll from Sophie's Shoppe!

Another big thank you to Siren for co-hosting this event with us! We're very excited to have had their input this month!

Looking for what to do with your bug collection?
Well, it seems like the bug hunt has brought some Enivi closer to them than we'd have thought.

New craftable items like the Butterfly Soul, Dragonfly Soul, Firefly Overlay, and Butterfly Friends Overlay are able to be crafted now!

Go pay a visit to alchemy and crafting to get started.

On a seperate note, we'll have a very special announcement coming on Monday!

Enjoy your weekend and we'll see you then!

This is a smaller update but an important one all the same!

As you may or may not know, Keepers of Eniv gives special rewards for doing good deeds in real life.
One of our core beliefs is that we, as a community, can help make the world a better place. 
We've always prompted our players to do things to better their communities in real life, but we realize the process of getting rewards for random acts of kindness were a little complicated.

The Community Care Prompt has been created to show all the information you'll need, but as always, if you have any questions we're here for you!
Rewards include Star Shards, Adoption Tokens, and the Community Love Award for your profile.

Battle Updates

We also wanted to let you all know that the leveling bug has been resolved!

You can level up your characters and add additional points to their stats again without any error.

Now your Enivi can be a little less worried while traveling through the Dark Forest.

Site Sale Enivi

Another small reminder that we still have a handful of speciality Enivi for sale!
Be sure to check them out before they disappear!

We hope you're having a fun and safe summer!

Are you a writer or roleplayer looking to earn some extra Star Shards?
Never roleplayed before but are interested in getting into it?
Well, this month is all about you!

Today through July 31st (ending August 1st at 12:00AM PST) we'll be giving double Star Shard base points for roleplaying done on the Discord server or Forums.

Here's how submitting roleplays for points works;

1. Have fun roleplaying with the community or a friend.
   These can take place on the forums, on our Discord server, or in private, but remember that all parties participating must be alright with you submitting their work to the gallery as well. 
2. Submit the roleplay to the gallery as a literary submission. 
   When doing this be sure to note which areas are your responses - you'll only be awarded for your own work.
   If the story is being submitted with the work of more than one person (which it likely will haha), mark the other participants as collab partners. Be sure to note whose responses are whose so we can make sure everyone gets the correct rewards.
   Only one person should be submitting the work, with credit given to the other people involved.
3. Continue to roleplay and submit the pieces to the gallery for more rewards!
   If you're going to be submitting more than one transcript for one roleplay, we suggest marking them as "Chapters" or "Episodes".

Rules

• All site rules apply.
• If the roleplay is private, all participants must be alright with the submission being included in the gallery.
• It's fine to add some filler NPCs (shop keepers, quest givers, etc), but the main characters must be official Enivi (ie: Enivi you own).
• Only the base amount of Star Shards are doubled (meaning the interaction bonus won't be doubled).
• The multiple character bonus can only be applied if you (an individual, not a group) are playing more than one character, and both characters are actively engaging in the roleplay.
  For example, if you're playing a Lunaesi and an Ortusi and the Lunaesi is doing all the talking, and the Ortusi says one line and is simply there, the Ortusi doesn't qualify for the bonus, just like our literary submissions.

All-in-all, these are scored as collaborative writing sessions!

If you have any questions, just let us know!

Happy Adventuring!

It's time for some summer beach fun! 

We've got a lot of updates for you, so let's get started!

New Sales Enivi and Sales Enivi Changes

Four new Enivi have been added to the market!

As like before, these Enivi have custom, hand-painted markings and some of the summer Event markings as well.
So, what's changed?
The Enivi now come with small snips of backstory for you to build on if you'd like. 
Using these backstories is entirely optional, just like their names and pronouns, you can change these however you'd like.

The prices start at a small $25 and raise from there depending on markings and Enivi rarity (there's even a Druaesi this month! ). Be sure to check them out here:

The Druaesi is an auction Enivi, but the other three are first-come-first-served so be sure to check them out today!

Speaking of special Enivi...

The Trevor Project

Thank you to everyone who donated to The Trevor Project last month!

We managed to raise $150 for the charity and we're so thankful to our community for it.

The winner of the raffle for the Pride Month Enivi was Medd-Lee - congratulations on your new, very rainbowy, Enivi!

Have a suggestion for a charity? Post a comment here.

Summer Accessories

We've got an array of new summer accessories for you to make your beach day special!
While you're putting on your Sunscreen, don't forget your new Innertube and Fruity Drink while you build your Sand Castle under your Picnic Lights.

Your Enivi can also go swimming with the In the Sea Background and High Tide Foreground set.

Summer Fishing Changes

Summer fish have started to appear in Still Mirror Lake, and they'll only be here until autumn, so be sure to catch them while you can.

Sightings of catfish, seahorses, and even great white sharks have been reported by Enivi, so grab your lures and head to the lake.

You'll be able to use these new fish in alchemy and crafting to create a few new traits and a companion variation;

Like the fish, these are only here for a limited time.

Happy fishing!

New Traits in Sophie's Shoppe

Finally, we have some new traits in Sophie's Shoppe, Short Feathering and Fleabitten.

These are smaller traits, but ones we felt you would all enjoy.

A few Site Updates

• We're still working on the leveling bug, but don't worry, we're hoping to have it sorted out soon and will have a mini-event to celebrate when we do!
• We've been getting a lot of questions about bug uses, don't worry, more things will spring up through the summer that are sure to get you buzzin' with excitement.
• We've clarified a few things in our Star Shard Guide, and changed the way characters are counted in literary and visual art to be more fair to (and increase the Star Shard output to) literary artists. (Don't worry, visual artists haven't lost anything, but we've increased what you get per character in literary art submissions)

Community Question

We're giving away one random item from this news post to everyone who answers;

Which herd is your favorite and why?

Just a small update today for everyone!

A new scavanger hunt has started!

"OH NO!" A beautiful Enivi cries out for help. "I've lost my precious shoe at the ball and now it's nowhere to be found. Will you help me find it? The last time I remember seeing it I was looking at how to dye my dress."

You can start to help her look on the Event Page.

Charity Raffle

Here's a reminder that we're still doing our Charity Drive for The Trevor Project.
Some of the items related to it won't be made available again until next year, so be sure to donate before the month is up!

Bingo Reminder!

Don't forget that Monday night is Bingo night!
Join us on the Discord Server for a night of number calling and prize giving haha.

SIte Updates

It's summer, so along with our bug hunt we're also hunting (and squashing) in-game bugs.
We're aware of the issue with leveling Enivi, and are working on getting that resolved as soon as we can! Don't worry, your XP is still being recorded, so you'll be able to level up again soon.

We've updated the World Lore page to be more clear.

Otherwise, we're prepping for some fun things next month as the Festival of the Sun winds down and we move into our general summer fun and 

Site Staff Weekend Break

Our site staff works incredibly hard and we appreciate them very much!
We all need a break from time to time, so we'll be taking an extended weekend on July 2nd and 3rd (we'll be processing until 12pm PST), and will be holding all processing on July 4th for the holiday in America so people can spend time with their families as needed.
If you have an emergency, feel free to tag admin in the Discord server, but all non-emergency matters will be put on hold until after our break.

Thanks very much for your understanding!

We'll see you all Monday!
