UPDATE:
To make up for the Daily Gift yesterday being down, we've put what was meant to go out in Sophie's Shoppe for free!
Be sure to collect yours today! (May 3, 2022)

As the Sylvan Hunt comes to a close Enivi begin to make their way back home.

The Holiday Shop will continue to stock items from the Event for another week.
We may not have caught Moinir this year, but that just means we can try even harder next time!

May will be a lighter month as we finish prepping for June's events. 
June is a sort of double-event month, being both the Ortusi Festival of the Sun and PRIDE Month. We have some big plans and we hope you'll enjoy them.

We'd also like to know what we can do to make the events more enjoyable for you. Please feel free to give us some feedback on what you'd like to see more or less of.

Advent Calendar Update

We're trying something a little new with the advent calendar this month. 

Rather than have the calendar give away a large prize at the end of the month, we'll be giving them away at the end of each week (Sundays).
This is meant to server two purposes;
1) To give you all more gifts through our less active month.
2) To troubleshoot the issue with the advent calendar not always giving out the proper prizes at the end of the month.
If you believe you collected your daily gift every day in April, but didn't receive your larger gift on the last day, please let us know. We're looking into it.

In the meantime, enjoy the extra gifts over the next 4 weeks while we take a peek into what's going on with the calendar!

Gardening Update

There was an issue previously where the fertilizers weren't being removed from players' inventories directly after use, which caused some confusion. 
We believe this has been resolved. If you're still getting this error, please let us know through a bug report.

We'll still have a few updates this month with some new features and items, so keep an eye out!

Our Community Question;

What would you like to see more or less of in our events?

Finally! You can learn more about your favorite herds, Enivi, and some history in Eniv.

From dietary preference and aggriculture to social heiracy and their own inter-herd politics, each herd has it's own culture and way of life.
You can find the diretctory of our new lore under in World Lore under Resources in the top nav bar.

Here are a few of the articles done so far (with many more to come!)

• The Ortusi Empire
• Lunaera
• The Vespiri Imperatum
• Verdant Hollow Guardians
• Sophie
• Sophie's Shoppe
• Still Mirror Lake
• The Crossroads
• A History of Star Shards

Over the next week we'll be adding more lore and reworking the World Activities page. We've also updated the Design Guide to have more information about designing your Druaesi.

More Updates in the Works

• Additional "Slice of Life" and Character Building prompts for "Story Mode".
• Reworking the Star Shard rewards for artwork submissions.
• Additional Lore for existing characters and areas.
• New front page.

Community Question

If there were one piece of lore in Eniv you'd like to know more about, what would it be?

It seems like Moinir is on their last round of tricks!

New items have been added to the Seasonal Shop, and a new acorn trail has been found!

Follow this trail to get started;

Even if Moinir is caught soon, the events are still continuing with the Sylvan Hunt!

Good luck!

The Sylvan Hunt continues as we search for Moinir!

Trails of acorns have been popping up all over the forest (and in some strange places outside as well). 
Rowan seems to believe these acorns will show up faster through the weekend, which means we'll have to hunt for them quicker as well.

As the hunt becomes more challenging, you may need to work with others to find them all.

New Events

The Druaesi are starting their special Events now.
Be sure to check out the Ax Throw prompt! 
How does your Enivi match up?

We'll also be announcing a special event tomorrow, and your first chance to get your own Druaesi!

New Items

We've added a few new items to the Holiday Shop!
The Cotton Tail, Forest Fey, and Forest Friend My Sweet Enivi are all available now!

New Team Member!

We wanted to take a minute to welcome FireAtHeart to our Moderation Team!
We're very excited to have Fire as part of the team as a Moderator in training. Be sure to be patient with Fire while she finds her feet. 

Welcome to the team!

Smaller Site Updates

• We've been getting some reports of weird things happening with the Gardening game and are investigating. Thank you for everyone who gave info!
• We're reworking our lore pages, so please be patient with us as they're redone.
• We've added the ability for users to deactivate their own accounts. You can do this through your Settings, via the side bar on the left.

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.
