Uncovering the Mysterious Grotto

07 Jul, 2024

Published by: CJ

Community Event: Gooppers Galore Update!

Skylar is thrilled to announce a monumental breakthrough in our journey to unlock the secrets and origins of the Gooppers. Thanks to the tireless efforts and contributions of our incredible community, Skylar has reached 50% of their research goal! Your dedication has helped Skylar unlock a remarkable discovery--the mysterious grotto, which is teeming with variations of Gooppers never before seen.

Skylar's research, combined with the unique gathering items brought by our adventurers has led to the location of a hidden grotto deep within the heartwoods. This secluded sanctuary is unlike anything we've encountered before. Within its depths, various types of Gooppers are seen throughout the grotto. This discovery marks a significant milestone in our quest to understand these elusive creatures.

Peaks Goopper Heartwoods Goopper Pinnacles Goopper

The grotto seems to be some sort of Sanctuary to the Gooppers, many of which have never been documented, each with unique behaviors and characteristics, providing invaluable insights into the Gooppers' world. Skylar and the research team are cataloging each type in order to unlock the secrets they hold.

Reaching 50% of our research goal is an incredible achievement, but our journey is far from over. Continue to bring Skylar more gathering items as they will bring us one step closer to understanding the origins of the Goopper.

Skylar Needs Your Help with Research!

Phoehen Iricampus

Vespera and the adventurers journeyed through the Harmonic Heartwoods and with the help of River, Dew and Henrietta, the team discovered the Ancient Grove! Vespera found the ancient oak trees that seemed to reach even higher than they were described in the tales told by the elders.

Goopper Celestial Toadstools

Do these peculiar mushrooms that are appearing in each gathering location have something to do with the Goopper minimals that are also appearing?

Skylar Fieldstone, our resident Field Expert and Researcher, has been tirelessly studying the mysterious origin of the Gooppers. After analyzing the Celestial Toadstools found in every gathering location, Skylar believes these gathering items could hold the key to locating the source of the Gooppers. A breakthrough in their research could lead us to uncover the origin of these mysterious creatures!

Floating Pinnacle Runes Heartwoods Acorn Rune Peaks Crystal Rune

Skyler's hypothesis is simple yet profound: the Gooppers leave behind traces wherever they go. By studying these traces left by the Gooppers, a pattern has emerged. If followed, the pattern should lead directly to the source of the Gooppers. The gathering items scattered through the lands could hold more information than previously thought, and could be the key to unlocking the Gooppers origins and secrets!

Skylar is calling upon all adventurers to assist in a critical mission and is asking that each adventurer gather items from each of the gathering locations. Skylar is particularly interested in the items from each gathering location that is appearing alongside the Gooppers. Bring these items to Skylar to aid in their research -- your contributions could be the key to solving one of the greatest current mysteries of Santae!

Community Event: Gathering Gooppers and Toadstools!

Head over to the Gathering Bounty quest and collect the items that Skylar Fieldstone requests. The number of items that you provide them with will advance their research. Together, we can uncover the origin of the Gooppers and any secrets they may hold!

As a thank you, Skylar will award a Gooppers Galore Trophy to every adventurer that assists with this research project when it is all over!

Grab your adventuring crew, get to gathering, and finish some quests to help unlock the secrets and origins of the Goopper along with other Santae adventurers!

The Ancient Grove (Thank You Chests Sent)

05 Jul, 2024

Published by: Sky

Adventure Continues…

Vespera and her crew made their way through the thick brush that covered the forest floor slowly, taking care not to harm or disturb the vegetation and wild life. The details contained within the stories that the elders told changed depending on the person telling it, but one detail remained the same: a winding river made its way through the center of the grove. Some tellings also mentioned a particular mystical rune that allegedly grew throughout the grove...

This was the third river that they followed -- the others had led them to beautiful landscapes of lush greenery, but the signature tall oaks of the ancient grove were notably absent. Vespera could feel the crew becoming more and more discouraged with every passing hour but she had a strong feeling about this particular river.

In the distance, Vespera spotted a tall, dark formation. As they progressed, it became apparent that it was a wall of boulders and rocks. The groans and complaints grew as they approached the makeshift wall -- it was over fifteen feet tall and far too unstable to climb. The river, which roared with life up the path from where they came, trickled to a tiny stream under the pile of rock. Another dead end.

"Let's set up our temporary camp here. We will rest for a few hours before we make our way back. Get some food and water to refresh yourselves before the return journey," Vespera instructed. The crew complied and Vespera made herself busy helping out around camp and organizing the distribution of food.

A short while later, River and Dew appeared in a fury of bright feathers. They chirped and chattered incessantly and dropped an object at Vespera's feet.

Vespera looked down at the mushroom and paused, remembering the stories about the appearance of mushrooms at all the locations where the Gooppers have been appearing. "Take me to where you found these," she instructed River and Dew. The two happily obliged and took to the skies, diving and swooping with one another playfully.

The two led Vespera to a section of the wall about ten minutes from camp. As she stood studying the rock, she heard a chirp and saw a flash of flame about waist high -- Henrietta! The Phoehen hopped from behind a rock that had originally seemed flush to the rest of the wall. Vespera examined the stone and found a slit barely wide enough for her to slide through. She wiggled her way through and found that it opened to a tiny cavern just a few feet wide. In it, Vespera spotted a few more of the curious mushrooms that River and Dew had originally brought to her.

Henrietta chirped at Vespera again and pointed her to another slit in the rock on the other side of the cavern. Vespera fit herself into it and managed to wiggle a couple of feet. Suddenly, she found herself back in the open, and -- yes! Vespera found herself surrounded by ancient oaks that reached high into the sky. The canopy rang with life and the forest floor was littered with recognizable gathering items. The river remained to her left and came to life once again from under the rock, winding itself through the grove once again.

Vespera smiled at her companions, "You found it! Thank you so much for leading me to this place, we would have left without ever finding it if not for your adventurous spirit. Lets go back and get the rest of the crew."

The Ancient Grove is now available as a Gathering location! For your convenience, there is a list of gathering locations and you can find helpful information by reading the Gathering FAQ.

Early Alpha Tester Thank You Chests have been Sent!

Gathering Gooppers, Berries and Various Florae!

04 Jul, 2024

Published by: Sky

Gathering Gooppers!

Gooppers have infiltrated the gathering locations! These minimals have been appearing when adventurers collect their gathering bounty. These little creatures are particularly special... Stay tuned!

Interestingly enough, reports from other explorers are also saying a specific fungus is also popping up at both locations alongside these minimals... I wonder if this is a coincidence -- perhaps we should ask Skylar to look into this to see if they can uncover any mysteries this unique fungus holds? These minimals must be particularly unique as they are appearing across the lands in very different environments!

Celestial Toadstools

The locals have mentioned a mysterious location to Vespera and her crew. There is a tale the elders still tell today of a ancient grove located deep within the Harmonic Heartwoods brimming with magical energy. Could this ancient grove once thought to be just a tale actually exist? Hopefully we can discover traces of this magical location with your help and through Skylar's research. Perhaps these new minimals are the key to unlocking the secrets of the Heartwoods!

New Florae Added to Gathering Locations!

Skylar Fieldstone has notified all adventurers that these florae can be collected from Gathering locations, although they are not quite ready to receive specimens at their research facility. Get a jump on collecting them for some sP rewards once they are requested in Gathering Bounty.

Stormforge Poppies Cavern Iris Moonlit Daffodil Celestial Toadstools Celestial Holly Aleriean Ivy

More Berries at the Great Berry Tree!

Flora Greenleaf is also reporting that five new berries have been reported growing at the Great Berry Tree!

Trench Flamefall Phoenixberry Pinnacles Skyfruit Divine Havenberry Starlight Berries

Flora's fertilizer must be working extremely well -- pick some up at Leaf & Petal!

Common Pets have been Renamed to Natural Pets

Common Pets have been renamed to Natural Pets to better reflect their role in Santae!

You'll be able to see all of the Natural Pets in the Pet Colors page. All items that previously contained "Common" in their names, including plushies, Divine figurines and plain figurines, have been renamed to "Natural".
