• The ingredients to make the hatching item can be found in Pai, Agnes, and Oran's shops' Bonus Prize pools.
• The item alchemy recipe is available in your recipe book and shown above.
• This Seasonal Pet will remain in the shops for 3 months and rotate out at the end of November to be replaced by a pet for the next season.

SUMMER TEAM EVENT
We're hard at work on the team event, and are hoping to launch it some time this month! Currently, we're in the middle of coding, testing, asset creation and writing. We will keep you posted on progress and the launch date. If preparation takes too long for the event to happen this month, we'll be ready with a mid month content update to make up for the low tide!

AUTUMN EVENT
Thalies is our September deity, so traditionally, the Thalies Autumn Event would be taking place this month. However, since the summer team event was postponed to this month, we'll be launching the Thalies Autumn Event at a later date within this season. We have been working on this event's storyline and various content simultaneously, so we're looking forward to sharing it with you!

MODERATOR RECRUITMENT PLANS
We're hoping to expand our team of volunteer based moderators at some point either this month or the next. The aim is to bolster our community management as well as have more hands on deck to help with event contest management and possibly be able to hold additional mini contests or raffles in between major events. We'll have info on this with application forms when we're ready!

BETA CHANGELOG & ROADMAP THREAD
These two items are on our to-do list, and will remain here until they are complete! Currently, we're in the process of layouting our Roadmap thread. We're aiming to release these some time this month in between event preparation.

CUSTOM MAKER RAFFLE THREADS
We're planning to manually run some periodic raffle/contest threads with a custom maker as the main prize, as well as additional participation prizes for all entrants. Winning a custom maker via this method will only be open to users without any customs or custom makers in the hopes of allowing some different avenues for obtaining them. We'll be able to start this in the coming months, as the custom queue has been worked through to a very manageable size now.

The following updates have been applied to all 3's Forest Daily Errands.

• A reroll option with the player choice text "Can I help you with something else instead?" has been added to the beginning of each task.
  
  • This option can be used once per quest completion to generate a new task different from the initial one.
    
  
  
• Daily Errands in 3's Forest can now be completed 3 times/day instead of 7.
• Positive quest ending potato rewards were boosted, increasing daily potato gains from each errand by about 2400 potatoes.
• Affection gained or lost has been increased to be equal to doing 7 quests previously.
• Tasks have been adjusted according to the reduced number of dailies each day. Some higher effort tasks such as adventuring have stayed the same or been reduced for better balancing.
• Conecake rewards were increased. Dual-stat NPC's now give out a random assortment of two types of conecakes instead of one.
• Dialogue has been compressed to fewer total text boxes to lessen clicks.
• Transitions and redirects have been updated to be more streamlined and give users more freedom.
• Any 3's Forest daily quests that were in progress have been autocompleted so that users don't get stuck due to the quest changes.
  

A total of 93 new items have been released!
New items have arrived in each NPC's chance shop, the following shop stock adjustments have been made:

• A Bonus Prize pool with claims costing an equivalent of 10 spins has been added to each NPC's shop.
• Totems, Pen Expansions, and Wardrobe Expansions, have been moved to each NPC's Bonus Prize pool in their shop instead of being in the chance pool.

• An additional 4th set colour has been added for each NPC, and can be found in their chance shop stock as well as bonus prizes.
• Pet Hatching items and NPC food have been added to the bonus prize pool as well while keeping them in the chance pool.
  

• Two new pet species have been released with this update!
• One is a quaint pet species which can be obtained from Magdalene's shop's bonus prize pool.
• Another is a fantastical pet species with a brand new recipe available in Officiator's Record Office.
• These two pets were wished for in the Wishing Well by Heli (#17512) and patpatity (#52179)!
  

The following non-general changes and additions have been applied to the NPC's Quests & Item Pools below:

 

• Trout's farming shoe task hand-in pools have been expanded.
  

• Irin's sprite calming task has been changed to equipping an Irin item and giving the sprites a gift. Equipping Magdalene's lamps is not longer a requirement for either the positive or negative tasks.
  

• Magdalene's advertisement task has been adjusted to equipping a lantern and completing a daily errand with any other NPC. The negative affection route for this task has been adjusted to you demanding potatoes from Magdalene.

• Magdalene's helping irin task's negative route has been adjusted to be completing an errand for Irin by upsetting them.
  

• Barclay's pet totem equipping task has been expanded to larger pools of totems that Barclay either considers heroic or villainous. The task now also requires 2 pet interactions after making sure the right totem is equipped.
• Barclay's hero cape task equipment pools have been expanded.
  

Heroic Training with Barclay Quest Adjustments
This repeatable quest is part of the 3's Forest witches' main storyline, we've made some changes to it to give newbies an easier time getting through this portion of the story and unlock the next town. The following changes have been made:

• The quest can be completed 3 times a day instead of 7 times, with scaled up rewards such as increased potatoes, conecakes, and NPC affection.
• It should now take just 2-3 days to gain enough affection to advance the story quest instead of up to a week.
• 2 Additional tasks were added to boost the variety available: Interact with a pet, Alchemize an item
  

• Mycel's riddle task has been reduced from 5 to 3 riddles.
• Mycel's glowshroom pet task has been adjusted to also require 2 pet interactions.

• This is the second installment of daily quest balancing! We are releasing these updates town by town in order to eventually balance all existing towns.
• With the addition of new items as well as bonus prize pools for NPC shops, we're aiming to make it so that certain items are obtained by choice rather than by chance. For example, the pen expansions were being dropped too often and filling up inventories without any purpose, now they can be picked up only if the user wants one.
• The bonus prize and shop stock updates have opened up the possibility of adding new items more easily to NPC shops in the future within smaller content updates.
• Coming up next is the Silvie's Mine daily balancing!
  

 
3'S FOREST BALANCING
Our team is wrapping up art assets as well as editting and testing the daily quest balancing edits for 3's Forest. We're aiming to have this update out some time this month, we're excited to see everyone's reactions to the new content and balancing!

SUMMER TEAM EVENT
While working on this event, the Ad Theater update which wasn't initially planned to take up a great deal of time presented so many issues that it held up our coding resources this past month. Unfortunately, we'll need to push the Summer Team event to some time past August in order to give our coders enough time to finish the brand new event type. We'll be monitoring our progress and keeping everyone updated, thank you for understanding! We're still very excited for the storyline and new content surrounding this and future events/content updates so look forward to it!

BETA CHANGELOG & ROADMAP THREAD
We're currently finalizing the changelog as well as planning out how we'd like to present our Roadmap. There are several different options such as a simple list to be kept updated, or separate goal lists for each quarter/year which are consecutively released. There is also consideration for different levels of detail on our roadmap. We're looking for clarity, feasibility, ease of use for staff, and consistency and we're committed to giving our community a clearer idea of our long term goals and vision for the future.

NEW AD THEATER PLAYER DEBUGGING
We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for all of your bug reports and testing of our new Ad Theater video player! We're working on the last few bugs and adjustments now and will have a changelog update for you some time next week. For all updates and details surrounding the new player's status, visit our Report Thread. You can also post any new bugs or console logs you find there.

 
MID-MONTH CONTENT UPDATES
It's our plan to do small content updates in the middle of months in which there isn't a larger scale event going on or another large update planned, this means that this will be one of these months. We hope you enjoy what we have in store!

3'S FOREST BALANCING
Our team is working hard on art assets, planning and testing the daily quest balancing edits for 3's Forest. The update may be ready either late this month or some time next month!

SUMMER TEAM EVENT
We're working on mapping out our new team-based event type for the summer event. Our artists and writers are also working on the storyline and assets! We're planning for this event to start some time in late August to give our team enough time to prepare the brand new non-deity related event type. More updates on this will arrive as we progress!

AD THEATER VIDEO PLAYER
Our Ad Provider is deprecating the current ad video player in favour of one they've developed themselves in early July. We're planning to change over to the new player in the next couple of days, this means that there may be some potential bugginess in the beginning. If there ends up being any bugs that affect user streaks or ad watching progress site-wide, we'll be sure to compensate our ad watching community for it by restoring streaks.

BETA CHANGELOG & ROADMAP THREAD
Now that we've completed some larger milestones that we had prioritized, we'll be working on getting these two items ready at a higher priority.
Here's a small list of some long term goals that will be outlined in our future Roadmap thread:

• Daily Quest balancing for each town in succession
• Pet Accessory & Customs Marketplaces
• Guild Rework/Updates
• Sitewide Raffle System
• New permanent towns and storylines
• Housing
  

Here are some plans for improvements for future events like this that we've accumulated from hosting this event!

UI IMPROVEMENTS
We're planning to make changes to the event page UI in order to make it much easier to understand. Here are some of the changes we have planned:

• We'll be moving certain information and grouping it in a more coherent manner. The amount of satchels in your inventory will be shown under the donate button, the pet blessing timer will be added into the pet interaction section. Certain areas of text will be modified to be more clear.
• We'll be moving the contribute section above the track record section. Displaying the "your points" and "your tasks" tabs side by side will make spacing more compact for less scrolling, as well as make this section more readily available.
• We'll be adding a progress bar under pet images for blessed pets to show how far their blessings are from being collectable.
• We'll be moving personal tier milestone details above community milestone details and making all of the tier info more compact for less scrolling.
  

MECHANIC IMPROVEMENTS

• We're planning to have it so that different tasks can have different point values so that more difficult tasks can accordingly receive more points.
• We'll be looking at the item donation system and working on more clarity and balance.
• We're planning to balance the community and personal milestones more evenly next year now that we've tried out the revamped system this year.
• A few added mechanics such as "bless a pet" as a tracked task type, and additional daily donation rewards could be fun additions.
• We're planning to look at the "visit random pet" system to see if we can make pet blessings feel less random and more efficient for recipients, such as prioritizing random active pets instead of just any pet.
  

Our next event is going to be a Summer Event some time in August with a brand new team based event type, with an unconventional non-deity based storyline!
