welcome to Chumbus!!

It's gotten much more cold now that auter has begun to fade, the ground has begun to collect snow and become icy in parts of Ranebo that usually have snow. Sometimes the occasional place that doesn't usually have snow have gotten a small dusting of winty weather. A new location has been discovered by Captain Hawkes' exploration this sumnum with all the Ranebo residents that helped her. 

We've got some stuff this Chumbus for you to partake in! Some trait stuff, new prompts and new familiars, a little bit of everything. 

We will be doing an advent calendar this year again! It's shorter than the one we hosted last year, but you'll still get some fun things during the 12 days that the advent calendar will be up. You can check the link HERE, though it won't work until the 14th of December! We will announce when your first gift is available to be claimed so people don't forget.

Two new snowy familiars are available now, the Snowy Whoo and Snowy Motti. The Whoo drops from the Frospine travel tokens in place of the Pinekin. The Motti will be available in the shop for EC. 

Many of you were interested in the Bound Buddy trait becoming attainable, so we've created a string of prompts to get this item as well as some familiars that go along with the little storyline of the prompts. You'll have to do these prompts in order to get your rewards, so be sure to read everything carefully! We'd also love to hear feedback about the longer prompts with required prerequisite prompts too, so please let us know how you feel about this type of prompt in the future!

The first prompt will feature your Ranebopet traveling to the new location the Phrygian Archipelago (pronounced fri-jee-un) to discover the islands of forgotten items, familiars and Ranebopets. The second prompt will feature your Ranebopet befriending and meeting a new local creature to these islands, the Chumbus Dust prompt will be able to be done more than once so you can get both types of dust! The third prompt will feature your Ranebopet meeting the new NPC Charolette the Keeper of the islands. Finally the last prompt will be your Ranebopet binding to their buddy to complete the magical ritual! The last prompt will award you the new spell scroll for the Bound Buddy trait. 

- 

A new trait has appeared as well! Sugarnix now have a new uncommon species trait called Snix Cheek Pouches. This allows your Sugarnix to have hamster like cheek pouches that can hold whatever they'd like. You can apply this new trait with an uncommon trait scroll.

- 

We're trialing something for prompts to see if you guys like it, the Cozy Comforts prompt will have an optional addon of a Cozy Sweater. If you add on this item, you'll get some extra EC for the prompt. Please let us know if you're interested in more prompts like this, or how we could implement more of these going forward if people like them!

The Travel to Frospine prompt also is available now! It's another way to get Frospine tokens outside of buying them with energy. You can find all the travel token prompts in the Travel Prompts category!

The yearly Chumbus gift art prompt is also available for you, this rewards you with a gift sack and some extra EC for drawing gift art! 

The Snobee and Hollibee prompts are available yet again, so meet some winty bees this year, maybe even get a sweet treat from their honey. 

We've made a Pinekin related prompt to aquire a Pinekin, they've been removed from the shop and now have a fun prompt to get the familiar! You'll have to draw your Ranebopet interacting with them on their winty pilgrimages. 

-

Some of you may have noticed but we've begun to upload/shift NPCs to an NPC tag on the site! This is for characters like Morton, Chester, Maika the Hatchmaker and such so that their references are more easily found. We'll continue to upload other NPCs here and there! You can find any NPCs that have been uploaded so far HERE

Have a very merry Chumbus and enjoy your winty activities!

Happy Hattowen guys! 

No need to hunt tonight for some treat bags! It's Hattowen afterall, people are handing them out left and right. Enjoy your Hattowen and here's to the cooler months approaching. 

Don't forget to nab anything from the shop you want with your EC as well, cause i'll look to close the shop sometime around the 10th of November. Chumbus is just around the corner, so look out for some fun Winty activities!

welcome to Hattowen!!

The air has a distinct chill this time of year and spooky things have begun to occur across Ranebo. The air hums with a weird energy as it usually does, but it seems decidedly otherworldly this year. 

We've got some new stuff for you this year for Hattowen, mostly familiars! 

Per usual the seasonal familiar prompt is the Phomish, you can try and catch one of these glowy fish until the winter solstice.

If you haven't noticed in the year round familiar shop some Grobby have been spotted, these will stay all year and can be purchased for 10 RC. We've introduced the Carrot Grobby, Turnip Grobby and Parsnip Grobby. Since these guys are known for eating roots (and looking like potatoes) we figured some root veggie themed colors were fitting. So grab some Grobby to add to your Stew!

We've also introduced some more Hattowen familiars. The Impish Noodlefish, the more mischevious counterpart to the Cherubic Noodlefish. These Noodlefish are much smaller than the typical Noodlefish, and known to play pranks on the residents of Ranebo. These prankster Noodlefish are also known to bite. These familiars will be available through a prompt that will run until the 22nd of November

The  Sugar Skull Miew has been dropped into the Hattowen shop, this variant of Miew is known for their skull like marking and bright colors that pattern their body in flowers. These Miew are often seen around cemeteries and will deeply mourn the dead. These Miew are also known as Calavera Miew, but the more common name is Sugar Skull Miew. The Sugar Skull Miew will be available in the Hattowen EC shop for 15 EC.

Two void colored familiars are also appearing! The Void Flying Heck will be a new rare drop in the Hallogrove token. The Void Whoo will be available in the Hattowen shop for 15 EC alongside the Sugar Skull Miew.

We still plan on doing candy hunts per usual, so keep an eye out for those, I'll try and aim for Mondays EST since I (Izzy) have the day off of work. 

-

This year we've got another special prompt from SeventhBard and Izzy! It may not involve Aeolian as much as it usually does, but we've still made a fun prompt to get a new spooky familiar! You can find this two part prompt in the Major Events section, they will drop at midnight EST tonight (Oct 18th). Don't miss out on this spooky guy cause you may not see it for a while after

-

We've got a limited time prompt for a little raffle Cappi up in the limited time prompts section called Bundled Up. Draw your Ranebopet getting warm from the cold Auter weather for a chance to get some EC and win this Cappi! 

Who knows, maybe something is s̴̡̯̥̜͉̅̆͗͗ţ̵̙͎́̊̔̕i̸̤͘r̶̰̞̐́r̶̠̦̝̍͊ḭ̶͉̽̾͌n̴̛͙̓͌g̶̨̻̯̞̺̾̐̕͘͠ ̵͖̝̭̙̉̅i̷̜͕̮̬̯̎̑n̸͈̖̆̐͋͜ͅ ̴͈̭̦͇̊̌͜ṙ̶̻̃̚͜a̸̡̰̼͍̭͌̿͒̀͋ń̶͕͈͒͠è̷̻͚̚͘b̸̹̳̝̼͕̓̕o̸͈̱̗̳̾͆?

Candy HUNT

Candy hunt is a site wide scavenger hunt, much like the one that occurred during Eggster! These candy hunts will last 48ish hrs and will take place on the dates seen on the Hattowen calender. To participate, all you need to do is look around onsite for Treat bags! They can be hidden on any page, EXCEPT for member profiles, Masterlist entries, or things like submissions. This means places like the Encyclopedia, Shops, prompts, etc are all valid hiding spots!

Once you find a treat bag, click on it and it will be put in your inventory where you can open it up for a reward! These treat bags are unlimited and ARE NOT first come first serve. We will ask that during the hunts, please do not tell others in public channels where the treat bags are! You are absolutely free to Dm other members to discuss, give hints, or even just share locations privately if thats your thing. 

Candy Hunt #3

Candy Hunt #3  - October 27th!

Click here to check your Candy hunt #3 progress!

Reminder

Most things onsite, including these candy hunts, are done completely manually. All bags are hidden and removed by hand. This means after the hunt ends, the candy bags may stay onsite for a period of time. Additionally, Candy hunts will have a set start time. Announcements will be made onsite and on discord when they begin.

A little annoucement for you all!

If you've been in the Discord server, we'd coined these travel prompts to get some lore and world building going, and now the default, year round tokens have prompts available in a new category. These will persist year round and offer another option to get some travel tokens in bulk for doing a little art. Please let us know how you guys are feeling about these prompts, and if you feel like they're rewarding and fun! We'll look to drop the seasonal versions of these sometime in the future so you can get some of the seasonal tokens like Frospine, Labrinthe or Bompom!

Happy travels Ranebofam!

welcome to sunnyfest!!

Ranebo has been experiencing some climate shifts, ice has appeared in places where its usually warm and sunny, snowy places that are freezing in the sumnum sun are melting and giving way to green landscapes. This has lead to the appearance of things that were once ancient being seen again. Boaritorial of massive size are invading warm areas, new Hummi in new colors have appeared in the usually warm climate areas to feed on the sumnum bounty. Ranebopets have been appearing with prehistoric traits, tusks of massive size, plates like dinosaurs! How will you take advantage of the sumnum time?

We've got a lot of things planned for this Sunnyfest for you guys, we've got some new potions with new traits, some new species specific traits, and some new familiars for you guys to get. Everything new is already rolled out on the site and will be available through EC purchase or prompts. 

One new potion is the Ice Age Potion, which allows the application of some new traits: Tusks and Woolly Coat. It also applies Long Claws as well

The other new potion is the Stego Potion, which allows you to apply the new traits: Stego Tail and Stego Plates. This potion also applies Drybone as well

Some new species specific traits are the Draphibi Gill Frills which allow you to have some gills like an axolotl do! This is a new enchanted trait. The other species specific trait is the Eye of Halcyon, this allows a single eye to appear on the body of your Cappari, fallen or not. This is also a new enchanted trait. We also have discovered the Big Paws trait for Mantabu! This allows your Mantabu to have big stompy paws instead of the typical nubby feets.

Some new familiars have appeared as well! We have two new Hummi colors, the blue-throated and the pink-throated, as well as a new Boaritorial variant, the woolly. The Hummis will be available in the Sunnyfest shop for EC and the Boaritorial will have a prompt available to get one of these larger variants.

The summer Chompi prompt will also be available once the summer solstice hits, so try and catch Chompi with rare colors! The prompt has a chance to drop the more rare variants of the Chompi familiar.

A little late to the party is a new familiar entirely! The Orange Stompi, thought to be a distant cousin of Chompi, Stompi are very low to the ground. They use the hard, rounded club on their tail to shake leaves, berries, and small insects from plants, all of which they like to eat. It can also deliver a numbing blow to unsuspecting feet if Stompi feels threatened. A somewhat clumsy but very lovable familiar. 

The Stompi will drop from the Karramesh travel token, it's about the same drop rate as the Chompi are. 

Keep an eye out for a few adopts as well! There will be for the first time in a while, some hybrids available for USD purchase, as well as some other designs with these new traits on them. Keep an eye out around the 20th, we'll be dropping the sales around that time.

We hope you have a wonderful Sunnyfest! The even will be running for a bit longer than usual since we are aware Artfight is coming in July, we'll be dropping a prompt just like we did last year where you can claim some extra RC for doing Ranebopets attacks. 

Hey guys! 

We've got a small update for you guys, we've been cooking some stuff and we'll be making monthly prompts that reward STX for you. These prompts will include the NPCs and mascots from  the site, some may be seasonal, some are just for fun. But these prompts will reward STX as well as RC for you, some may also have the mascot badge that goes with them as well! 

The first of this type of prompt will be dropping at about 11pm EST in the limited time prompts section. That's where they'll be from now on

There may be some more stuff cooking in the future for you guys, hopefully this is the start of some fun stuff <3

You also can suggest ideas for monthly prompts at this link here!
