Mischievous new Minimals channel the elements

Vespera’s camp on the outskirts of the Flamefall Cascades was the perfect place to spend the night before continuing her journey. The soft volcanic sand was surprisingly comfortable, and the crew had left the hazards of the Lava Pits far behind. All that was left to do was relax in the shadow of the mountains, and then decide where her adventures would take her next!



Vespera dozed in her tent across from River, who was roosting with one Minimal tucked under each wing. But then she shivered, tucking the blankets closer around herself. Since when was this part of Aleriea so cold?

A chilly mist crept in around the edges of the tent, and Vespera snapped wide awake. “That’s unusual,” she mused aloud. “Dew!” She called out to wake the Minimal. With the ability to soar in the high atmosphere and swim beneath frigid seas, the Iricampus was the perfect choice to go investigate the strange chill. “Will you go outside and take a look?”

Iricampus

Dew took off with one last affectionate nuzzle for River, and the others settled in to wait.

But after just a minute the tent started to feel stuffy and hot, all signs of unseasonable chill evaporated. Vespera narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. “Henrietta, your turn,” she said to the Phoehen. “Please go see what’s causing this heat.” River lifted her wing and the little Phoehen hopped out, ready for adventure.

Henrietta ducked under the tent flap and fluttered out into the night.

Phoehen

One minute passed, and then another. Slowly, the unnatural heat faded. Vespera and River exchanged a curious glance with each other. 

Then: CRACK!

River squawked and flapped as Vespera scrambled to her feet. That sounded just like a clap of thunder – right outside the tent!

Cold, heat, and a tiny thunderstorm…what could possibly be causing all of this?

Vespera and River tumbled out of the tent in a tangle of legs and wings, and fell right into the answer.

Dew and Henrietta were both there, flying circles above three creatures Vespera had never seen before: One glowed like a flame, another shimmered like ice, and the last threw off brilliant electrical sparks. The trio romped together, occasionally leaping up to include Henrietta and Dew in their game of tag.

VoltarixFrostharaPyraflame

“Amazing!” Vespera grinned as she watched the elemental trio at play. Waves of heat and cold alternated over the clearing, occasionally interrupted by the crackle of electricity as the Minimals playfully tested their abilities against one another.

“I’ve never seen anything like them,” Vespera said. “I’m sure other adventurers across Santae will be excited to learn about these three, too!”

Is your pet ready for a mischievous elemental companion of its own? For a limited time, you can find the PyraflameFrosthara, and Volatrix at Vespera's Cash Shop!

As a reminder, all sC purchases are covered by the Alpha Rollover Policy.
These loyal companions will rejoin you when the site moves to Beta and beyond!

Skylar discovers Quibbit Cove - Community Event Update!

12 Aug, 2024

Published by: SantaeTeam

Quibbit Cove has been discovered


Skylar disembarked their boat - they had been sailing for a few hours, following the trail of Quibbspawn as they floated in the ocean. The trail had led right up the a beach just outside Sanctuary. And right there - on the coast - was a cave where the Quibbspawn were trickling out from a shallow stream into the water.

Skylar set Hop, their Quibblet, down on the ground, and straight away it dropped into the stream and started swimming towards the cave, "Hop, wait for-", Skylar started, but before they could finish the sentence, Hop was gone into the depths of the Cave. 

After a brief moment of panic, Skylar composed themself, grabbed their backpack and headed into the darkness. After what felt like an eternity of following the stream through a narrow passage, the cave opened up into a wide, open space, with an eerie glow from the water projecting around the cave. As Skylar stepped forward, Hop re-appeared and started nuzzling Skylar's leg to be picked up. "See, dont scurry off like that! We dont know what is in here". Hop then perched itself on it's favourite place to sit - on Skylar's shoulder .

As their eyes adjusted to the dimmed light, Skylar began to see shapes in around the cave and suddenly it dawned on them - these are the Ancient species they learned about from attending Rose's lectures... 



To their surprise, It was a cave full of Quibbspawn, Quibblet's and.. "Wow, these must be the Quibbit species!" Skylar exclaimed, "They exist!". Their voice echoed around the small cave, "They are even more magical than depicted" Skylar said with awe, meanwhile all the creatures stopped to look and stare.. before retreating deeper into the cove and out of sight. Skylar, being an environmentalist, decided they didn't want to stay long - best not to disrupt the ecosystem.



"The Quibbit must be the final form - I'm certain" Skylar whispered out loud. "How.. do you grow up little guy?" Skylar said jokingly to Hop.  For a moment they both were frozen in place, making eye contact, before Hop began to rummage in Skylar's backpack looking for a juicy treat. "Woah, little guy - we'll eat when we get back to the beach, Dont you worry - I've got your favorite berries... but in the mean time, let's see.." Skylar fumbled with their notebook, "There is nothing in here saying how you evolve - this is clearly another secret that has been lost to time." 


One thing I can say is that you little guys love to eat berries, and for being so little you can sure eat a lot."

Skylar pondered for moment before deciding they need to research this knowledge that has been lost - for the benefit of all Santarians.

"Adventurers - you know where I am, help me solve this mystery, please bring me your Quibblets and other supplies. I need to explore this further, we must work together!"

Maybe when Silvershade opens their Ranch, we'll have more opportunities to obtain Quibblets?

Community Event Update

The community has helped Skylar with making this monumental discovery - The Quibbit Cove
Through everyone's immense help and perseverance, Skylar has also discovered a new pet species, that until now, was thought to be extinct - the Quibbit.



Skylar is confident that the secret to obtaining your very own Quibbit lies in evolving a Quibblet. "But evolve a minimal?" Skylar wondered. To help advance the research, please bring your collected items from fishing and gathering, along with Quibbletsand help assist Skylar in this exciting discovery!

Fishing Trash is clearing - more fish appearing!

10 Aug, 2024

Published by: SantaeTeam

Barnaby wonders where the Fishing Trash has gone..


Barnaby looked up and down the street and there wasn't an adventurer in sight. It was a far cry from the queues of adventurers that were eager to hand over their trash less than a week ago. "How can i profit from this, if people wont come and hand over their items?" he thought to himself.

After a few hours of no visitors, he decided to leave his stall and go take a stroll near the ocean front to see if people were still pulling up trash. While meandering along, he stumbled upon Captain Finn. "Ahoy Finn!" Barnaby said,


"How ya going, mate?" Captain Finn replied, while casually sitting in a deck chair, an Elite Fishing Rod stretched out at his feet. "Have you been, uh, fishing much? I havent seen much trash coming my way in the last few days? Vespera assured me adventurers would keep bringing it for as long as it existed?", Barnaby said inquisitively. "That's right! I've been fishing all afternoon! Look at these beauties!" replied Finn, just as he held up his latest catch -

Heartkeeper Angelfish

"Woah, that.. is a beautiful fish.." Barnaby started, while his eyes started to survey the surrounding area to see what else Finn had pulled up "-found any other interesting items by any chance? Maybe some Fishing Trash?"

Finn looked at his haul of items in front of him "Well, actually, I found this Old Boot.. but most of my catches in the last few days have all been fish - it seems the amazing work of the adventurers has come full circle - all sorts of fish species are returning to our waterways - this is fantastic news!"

Barnaby rolled his eyes before turning away. "yeah.. fantastic.." he murmurer as he started walking back to his stall..


New Fish spotted throughout all fishing spots

Make sure to stock up on Fishing Bait - many new fish varieties have been spotted at all fishing spots!

Path to the Quibbit? Skylar has a plan! (+ New Rarity Tier)

09 Aug, 2024

Published by: SantaeTeam

 After Silvershade left, Skylar was so thrilled to know that all the research they had done on this was finally coming to fruition, and didnt leave the beach until another 50 Quibbspawn had been caught, and their very own Quibblet had hatched. Skylar named their bouncy new Minimal "Hop".


Hop

Skylar examined it closely before pulling out a scrap paper from their satchel. "Hmmm. You definitely dont look like the drawings. I'm confident that you aren't the mythological Quibbit from the drawings.. buut, maybe you know something about this pet?."

Hop wriggled knowingly. Skylar smiled as if understanding what the Minimal was saying, before opening their satchel and placing the paper back inside. "Let's figure out this mystery together." Skylar declared.



After taking some time to rest and experiment with different foods to see what Hop likes (Berries!), Skylar waded out into the clear water of the Solar Sands to see how much Quibbspawn was in the water.

They were so thrilled that the adventurers had banded together to clear the trash from the waterways. There were still small pockets of lingering trash, but for the most part, the water was clear and visible. After a few hours of exploring and observing the calm waters, and watching other adventurers catch QuibbspawnSkylar noticed something... odd. It seemed that new Quibbspawn was floating into the Solar Sands bay at a consistent rate - as adventurers caught Quibbspawn, all the others in the water would redistribute, almost as if they had a mind of their own.


"This is the key..", Skylar said out loud "- this is how we can find the source. As long as adventurers continue to catch Quibbspawn, I'll be able to follow their origins to see where they are coming from!". Skylar looked down, and Hop looked extremely excited. Skylar didnt know if the little tadpole creature could understand the words, but they felt like Hop would be a new, lifelong companion.

Skylar: "Adventurers, please keep collecting Quibbspawn! As you pull them from fishing and gathering, I'll follow the trail!"



Quibbspawn has become Widespread


 Our newest rarity tier, Widespread, is a temporary rarity that indicates that this item is Extremely Common. Quibbspawn is the first item to obtain this rarity and will retain this rarity until the current Community Event concludes! Watch out for more Widespread items in the future!
