Quibbspawn News, Refreshed Art & Referral Contest Ending Soon!
Published by: SantaeTeam
Skylar has continued to monitor the situation with the Quibbspawn, Quibblet, and Quibbit, and has noticed a rapidly declining quantity of Quibbspawn being fished up in the rivers and oceans of Santae.
After performing an in depth analysis of the species, it seems Quibbspawn will only appear at certain times of the year!
Make sure to fish up as much Quibbspawn as you can before 31st August @ 23:59, as Skylar thinks we wont see them appearing in our fishing spots again until July 2025!
(Quibbspawn, Quibblets and Quibbits are included in our Alpha Rollover Policy!)
Art Refreshed!
We've been hard at work improving the content of Santae, and with that we would like to present newly refreshed art applied to some of our oldest items.

Tame your own Synthwave Grusim
My next goal is to discover what other pets across Santae can also be imbued with the magic of the Synthwave color. Will you help me, Adventurers?
In order to fully understand Synthwave, we need even more Adventurers to come to Santae to explore and lend their own magical energy. You can help by reblogging and sharing this post on the official Santae Tumblr!
If you reblog the post and reply with your Santae username, I will send you a mystical prize in exchange. Anyone who shares will receive their very own Divine Synthwave Grusim Figurine!
Make sure to share the post before August 29th at 11:59PM SST. If you prefer not to comment with your Santae username directly on Tumblr, please contact a Mod on the Official Discord and they will be able to help you.
The world of Santae is full of mystery, but when we work together there's nothing we can't discover!

New Settings - Newsletter Sign Up + Animations Toggle
We've added a new toggle in your user settings area to allow you to opt-in/out of our emails (newsletters+giveaways). We've additionally added a toggle to also opt-out of site-wide animations. This toggle currently only affects the animations in the site layout header banner, however in a future update we will be applying this toggle to also affect our games to help those affected by animations/flickering lights etc. This is the first of a range of accessibility tools we plan to introduce to Santae as part of our development roadmap.
Sandust Shop Opens & Luffin Makes an Icy Wave
Published by: SantaeTeam
Vespera's Announcement: The sanDust Shop is Now Open!
Greetings, Adventurers!
It's been a long journey, but now that I am back home in Shadow Veil Pass, it's time to honor my Agreement with Barnaby. I've made some adjustments to my humble stall and rearranged my stock. Everything is finally prepared...
And so, I'm proud to announce that I am now equipped to accept 
sanDust in exchange for my mystical wares! A specially curated selection of rarities will now be permanently available in exchange for the 
sanDust you collect on your adventure or receive at Barnaby's Exchange.
If you prefer to pay in 
sanCash, my original Shop will of course remain open for business. But for those of you with an excess of sanDust on your hands, or who prefer to make your fortune simply by adventuring around Santae and participating in activities -- well, I hope you consider doing business with me! You certainly won't regret it.
The sanDust Shop
You can now spend your sanDust in exchange for rare items at the brand-new sanDust Shop!
Most items from my Cash Shop will be available to purchase at the sanDust Shop using sanDust . Just like items purchased with sanCash, they will roll over with your account, and the sanDust Shop will remain open and available even as our adventure continues into Santae's Beta period and official launch!
Unlike sanCash, your sanDust is not tradable with other adventurers. The sanDust you earn through your adventures and activities is yours to keep -- and represents a way to access exclusive Cash Shop items by simply exploring the amazing world of Santae.
Be aware that as I adjust to running this new storefront, the exact features of the sanDust Shop might change -- including the rate of exchange between sanDust and sanCoins. I will always be sure to announce any changes to all adventurers so that everyone can feel confident as I myself and adjusting to the value of sanDust.
I hope you will consider a visit to the Shadow Veil Pass today to exchange your sanDust for an incredible array of exclusive items!
Magical Milestone: A Gift from Vespera
Oh, one more thing, Adventurers -- you've done such an incredible job building enthusiasm for the world of Santae and helping encourage more Adventurers to begin their journeys here, through the combined magic of each of you all I have unlocked an ancient and powerful enchantment.
I am overjoyed to share More than 500 adventurers have now signed up for notifications about Santae's upcoming Kickstarter Campaign! This achievement has allowed me to tap into a wondrous magic of something truly special that I can now share with the entire community. From the highest parts of the Celestial Peaks, I have been able to unlock a wondrous discovery! As a token of my gratitude and to celebrate this magical moment, I am sending each of you a Divine Natural Luffin Figurine. This enchanted item will transform your companion into a creature unlike any other seen in Santae. A new and rare type of pet know as the Luffin! Thank you all for your continued support and for being a part of this incredible journey. I can't wait to see where our Adventures take us next!
The Luffin is the perfect companion for any Adventurer who loves ice and snow. You should have no fear finding your way in treacherous mountains with a Luffin by your side: They have gliding wings and a powerful rudder-like tail to help them soar between the crystalline towers of the Celestial Peaks where they make their home. Their dark, sleek coat of feathers helps protect them from the icy cold of the high mountains. Legend has it that Luffins' even have the power to create and manipulate small flurries of snow and ice with magic!
I believe that these figurines I'm sharing are the only way to get a Luffin as an adventuring companion -- for now. Although the inhabitants of Valaria often hear the wild flocks of Luffins chirping and calling to each other in the high mountains, nobody has yet discovered all of these creatures' secrets.
But I have an idea brewing. Perhaps after the Alpha Wipe is over, we can work together as a community to explore, learn more about the Luffin, and discover how they can be befriended!
Keep up the good work, Adventurers! If we can reach 1000 followers on the Kickstarter page, I will have another gift for you all. I am learning more about the strange magic of the new Synthwave color every day. If we reach our next community goal, I will be able to unlock its secrets and send you each a sample of the legendary Synthwave Shimmer Dust!
***If you missed our first newsletter, no worries! We're reissuing the newsletter this weekend, so if you haven't signed up yet, now's your chance! Relive the magic of Alpha Testing, and receive a special gift from The Santae Team.
If you want to update your newsletter status you will be able to use our new toggle feature we will be adding soon into the settings menu to allow you to change your newsletter status so you do not miss this magical opportunity!

A Change is Upon Us, Kickstarter Contest, Trophies Awarded & Synthwave Prizes!
Published by: SantaeTeam
Thank You For Your Feedback!
We had an incredible response to the recent random event. Vespera requested that adventurers investigate the mystery of a brand-new pet color by exploring the world of Santae and sharing your highly appreciated feedback -- and you delivered! Every one of your contributions will help shape the future of Santae.
The giveaway event is now closed, and Vespera has kept her promise. Now that she has returned to her shop in Shadow Veil Pass, she has shipped a Divine Synthwave Blepp Figurine to each adventurer who took part. Thank you so much for your invaluable feedback! Now to get to cleaning up the place! It got very dusty while she was gone, and needs to get everything in order for her newfound discoveries.
Check Your Inbox For Your Reward and Alpha Discoveries
During the long journey back to Shadow Veil Pass, Vespera has had plenty of time to reflect on all the amazing adventures she and the adventurers have had all across Santae over the past few months. Her notes and observations on all the exciting discoveries that have been made during the Alpha test were compiled into our first newsletter!
Whether you've been adventuring with us from the beginning or you're brand new to the world of Santae, the newsletter will remind you of all the amazing adventures we have gone on together since Alpha Testing began this past May. Vespera, her crew, and all adventurers have helped discover new pet species by taming the mourning Grusim, or by hatching your very own Harlowin, magical variations of pet colors and many mischievous Minimals.
Together we have helped Santae's ecosystem by cleaning up the shores, taught our companions how to fish, gather at newfound locations as well as pick scrumptious berries! Discovered evolutionary wonders with the Goopper Grotto and Quibbit Cove, and we have most recently learned how to tame Minimals in the wild and have them join along your adventure! This has all been made possible by the help of each esteemed adventurer, willing to help Vespera and her crew out, and we are forever thankful!
The newsletter also contains a free gift from The Santae Team(crew) as a thank you to all of our Alpha Testers(adventurers)!
Make sure to check the email you used on your Alpha Testing Application to claim your reward, and keep a watch for new rewards with every newsletter to come!
***If you would like to modify your newsletter status, you are welcome to change it from Decline to Sign-Up as we will be sending the newsletter out again sometime this coming weekend for those that missed it <3***
Change is Upon Us
I can feel the winds of change on the horizon, adventurers - the Alpha Wipe is coming soon! By my calculations, we have only 12 more days to prepare for the event on September 2nd.
But fear not! I've got a few powerful magical tricks up my sleeve to protect the items I offer at the Cash Shop, as well as many other treasures we've discovered together on our journey, from the effects of the wipe. My advice to you? Start collecting all the rollover items you can now, to set yourself up for many more successful adventures after the wipe!
Now, let me share something truly exciting with you all. During my recent travels, Master Yushe showed me the discovery of the figurines he had no use for, and I have a surprise that I believe will leave you all as thrilled as I am. You remember the Divine Drava Figurines, right, those magical treasures we uncovered in the hidden ravine.
When I arrived home and opened the crate I discovered another mysterious figurine - one unlike I'd ever seen before. It's a Divine Synthwave Drava Figurine, the figurine is an enchanted item with the power to transform your pet into a majestic Drava, but this time, with a rare and technologically magnificent Synthwave Color. This color is so rare that its origins are believed to be from somewhere in Aleriea, and I'm determined to uncover its secrets.
I'm offering these Divine Synthwave Drava Figurines at my shop until the end of our Alpha Testing Journey. After that, they will not return until January 2025, so now's your chance to get one! Together, we can explore this new color and see if other species might also be available in this vibrant theme. Who knows what other mysteries we'll uncover along the way.
Let's make the most of these last days, and prepare for the exciting new chapter ahead!

Referral Contest Continues During Alpha 3.0

Alpha account wipe coming soon
With the end of the Alpha Testing Period approaching, we're preparing to wipe all Alpha Tester accounts to prepare for Beta and Beyond.
The Alpha Wipe will occur on September 2nd, 2024. The site will be down for the wipe to make sure we get everything rolled over correctly. The downtime is expected to be 24-48 hours, it could be less but we want to give ourselves ample time to ensure it's done the best if can be. This also means instead of 9/21 being our last day open before we close for our downtime before Beta, 9/23 will be our last day of alpha testing. <3 We love you all and hope you all are excited to be able to build your accounts before expected! We cannot thank you all for the amount of support you all have provided to us throughout this amazing alpha testing phase. We knocked it out of the park!
By completing the wipe before the beginning of Beta, existing users will have the opportunity to get a head start on their accounts. Everything you collect, create, and do on your account after the wipe will be permanently yours!
We will be wiping all player accounts, but we keep a log of every item, pet, sC, and reward that will transfer over to your account after our Wipe has finished. A full list of everything that will be reissued to your account after the wipe is detailed on our Alpha Rollover Policy page.
