News: TH + QoL Updates

Winter Wonderland by marshmu

Woolyne Advent: Silent Night (OPEN!)
Big news! There's been a few changes with the shard rewards for any ARPG art and writing! We have also tweaked some shop prices and lowered some of the costs for the more legendary items. And last but not least, we have a new City in Andras-the underwater city of Lathule!

Shard rewards: We've gotten some feedback and the mods and I talked it over and decided to tweak a few things. Previously, all prompts started at 1 shard for reward, and then had add-ons. Now arpg art starts at 5 shards, and we've boosted the add-on bonuses as well!

NOTE: This change is not applied retroactively, and is only applied for the current and future prompts/exploration/training entries submitted after today, May 2nd!  

NEW SHARD REWARDS:
Each Prompt entry is worth 5 Shards
Each extra REGISTERED Woolyne included in an entry will count for 4 Shards (up to 12 Shards total per entry)
Full+DETAILED Backgrounds will count for 10 Shards
1600+ words will count for 10 Shards
Moderate Animation will count for 8 Shards
3D Sculptures will count for 8 shards
Each extra 1000 words will count for 8 Shards
Each TAMED Mount included will count for 4 Shards
Each NPC included will count for 4 Shards
Each Companion included will count for 2 Shards


Also welcome all new members from the MYO Event! We hope you have fun here!

2018:
November 9th:

Hey there everyone!! We have some stuff in store for this month!! One of our big items on our list is actually a Newbie Point overhaul!! I've felt for awhile it seemed too grindy and thanks to mod inputs, we'll be overhauling the amounts needed for the NP slots, as well as changing some stuff up! MYO slots will still count 100 NP but hopefully with this update it'll be a lot easier to achieve!

We also have another ATA raffle planned soon! That should be up in the next few days. Speaking of gifting others, we're also planning an official SECRET SANTA!!! Signups for this should be up soon as well, likely within the week!

And lastly...something secret brewing in the World of Andras.....................something that might boil over before the end of this month!

August 4th:

Congrats on 1 whole year of Woolyne ARPG!! There might be a special event happening this month in honor...keep an eye out!

We've also got a new Community Woolyne, Titan! Check them out here: andrasians.weebly.com/characte… Their registration will be uploaded shortly!

Our new monthly Woolyne is Ivy, owned by Aschefall ! Reminder that every drawing of the monthly woolyne will earn you 1 bonus shard, even if its non-prompt related! Sketches however don't count.


July 2nd:
Our new monthly Woolyne is Finn, owned by Miss-Italia ! Reminder that every drawing of the monthly woolyne will earn you 1 bonus shard, even if its non-prompt related! Sketches however don't count.

The new prompt is out! Enter into the Drakern Derby to win the adoration of fans! (And also a new companion+a 10 shard bonus!)

Liz and I are hard at work at some big new updates for you all...get excited!


June 2nd: Hey guys! A couple of big items of interest here so make sure you read through!

First off its the Mazri Festival! Every entry will earn you a chance to earn a FULL transformation into a Mazri Woolyne!! There's no entry limit, so get those entries in!

Secondly we are almost nearing the end of Search For the Arcanum! REMINDER that in order to enter into the free legendary tier Woolyne Custom raffle, you must have taken part in all paths of Part 1 and battled in Part 2! The ending of the story is dependent on if all three enemies are beaten or not! We're so close!

A new update is that now any drawing of the current Monthly Woolyne will earn you 1 bonus shard! This also applies to non-arpg art, such as gift art or commissions. The monthly Woolyne will always be featured on the front page! The only catch is the drawing must be colored and shaded!! (Aka, sketches will not earn you a shard!)

And lastly, there's some big updates being worked on! Currently you can now start counting ARPG art towards your Woolyne's EXP count-you can decide if you want this to be retroactive or not. (I understand it may be a lot of counting for some!) There's gonna be a training overhaul upcoming after the World Event ends. We're also working on implementing player-run Guilds, pet-alchemy, and some new NPC's! Saki the Guildmaster has already been uploaded to the website: andrasians.weebly.com/characte…

I think thats it! Feel free to comment if you've got any questions!

March 7th: Big update! We're rolling out the Inventory Trackers for all users! Please take a read through as in a months time the bank will no longer be tracking items and rewards gotten by participating in the arpg. With the new inventory trackers, players can no longer transfer shards to each other BUT using your own shards to buy items for another user, or even 2 users pooling their shards to buy an item for someone, is still possible!

We also have a new Feedback journal! If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas on how to improve the game,  please feel free to leave a comment there and we will get back to you as soon as possible!

Also take a look at our featured Woolyne for this month, northfarer Elysia!!

February 1st: Thanks to Hevirago for the awesome coding for our front page! We're also starting a new aspect of the group, a Monthly Featured Woolyne! You guys have made such awesome characters that its only fitting we showcase them! They'll be displayed on the front page for everyone to see! : D

New prompt and the first World Event starts tomorrow!
