ARPG Update Notes 02
Hey there Stellians!
With October just around the corner and the current event Hallowmoon 2024 running, it’s time for another ARPG update that adds new content as well as a peek into what awaits Starlight Commons for the rest of 2024.
The Bounty Board | Live Now
With more items being added to the shop and the need for gaining items outside of Expeditions, it became apparent that the ARPG needed more ways to earn Star Tokens.
With this in mind, I was able to turn to an idea that has been stewing for a while: a bounty board system. This system will be joining the Gathering Activities as a new weekly Activity that resets every Monday at 11:59 UTC.
By visiting the Bounty Board, members will be able to participate in a fun prompt or mini-quest to receive Star Tokens once a week with one Stellaborn or Roamkin (if a prompt states such). Every week a new prompt will be posted for members to complete to earn their rewards. In the future, more rewards will be added to the Bounty Board for completing the prompt.
The first bounty will be posted this Monday (9/30/24) with the weekly reset. To learn more about the Bounty Board, please visit the Activities hub page or the Bounty Board page.
New Astral Core | Live Now
As I’ve been designing for the minor adoption event for October, I realized that I had no core that allowed me to venture into yellow and orange colors. Considering I already have cores that stand for every color beside that, it became necessary for both lore and designing purposes to create a core to fill the deficit.
This new Astral Core is called the Astral Energy Core. An Astral Energy Core gives a +1 to all Attributes.
Alongside a drop of new lore found on the Astral Core page, Berhael Ingotbrand has already started creating several of the new chronovelour to sell at The Saddlery Shop during restocks. This new item will be 250 Star Tokens and will be listed as the Energized Chronovelour. They will be available on the next sale.
Chronovelour Crafting Recipe | Live Now
As stated in the last ARPG Update Notes with the addition of the Coresmithing Course, it was mentioned that the ability to craft Chronovelour would become available and be unlocked to those who completed the course. However, putting together a difficult enough recipe for something that can bolster Character Attributes took some time to manage and balance.
I’m happy to announce that the recipe has been completed, and the majority of the items necessary for the crafting process are now available to be earned in Activities. The new items are as follows: Starglass Shard (Rare - Fishing), Stardust (Rare - Gardening), and the Chromatic Flame Spark (Rare - Mining).
The crafting recipe for Chronovelour is now listed in the Crafting Center under the Chromatic Forge section. The recipe for Chronovelour is as follows: x3 Stardust, x2 Starglass Shards, x1 Chromatic Flame Spark, and x1 Raw Astral Core.
Fadedstars Adoption Event | October 2024
Over the last month I have been piling together dozens of concepts to ensure that there were plenty of designs to go out in October with the end of the Hallowmoon 2024 event as well as for adopts in general. In total, I have been working to prepare over 50 designs to go out over the month, all with their own personalities and poses.
Since October is known for being a large month for adoptables as well as an influx of people asking for pre-claims on my previous adoptable batches, I have decided I will release them in a semi-new format, in which I’m calling the Fadedstars Adoption Event. This Adoption Event is a month of designs that surrounds fall, monsters, and even horror themes to fit the spirit of October. I will be posting two Stellaborn nearly every day of differing sale types and prices.
To alleviate and give members a chance at pre-claims, sometime within the next few days I will be posting a calendar with the first two weeks of color palettes available for pre-claim. The second half will be posted sometime before the 15th, following the same format.
There will be rules listed on the post when it goes live, along with a pre-claim limit. Those who do not wish to pre-claim and want to wait to see the design and its theme are welcome to as they will still be posted afterwards as my regular adopts are.
Clusterfall Regular Mini Event | November 2024
With the Chronovelour crafting recipe being completed, there is only one part of the Coresmithing Course rewards that needs to be completed to round out the acquisition of Chronovelour as both an in-game purchasable and craftable item. This final piece of the puzzle is the Clusterfall Mini Event, which rewards several types of items as well as Raw Astral Cores.
The creation of this mini event is currently under development and the first instance is slated to go live sometime in November 2024. If there are any delays or changes to this release frame, I will post an announcement as soon as possible.
Roamkin Adoptions | Coming Soon
With the recent influx of new features and design work taking the majority of my time, the store to adopt Roamkin outside of Events has been pushed farther back in my queue. It will be completed before the end of 2024, but an accurate release frame cannot be stated yet.
Astrali Page Update | Coming Soon
With Astrali being the first species of Stellagos, I put together as much as I could when I first started the species to make it interesting while also not overloading myself with work in the case that they had little to no interest. However, I was pleasantly and overwhelmingly surprised with the love and joy from every member (and future ones!) who was interested in my little world. Because of this, I am working to give the Astrali page a fresh update with new images to further show their anatomy.
New Lore & History | Coming Soon
Before the end of the year, I’d like to get another chapter of History and some fresh lore for some things updated for you all to enjoy and theorize over. This is still in early concept stages, but will be worked on alongside the rest of my plans for the rest of 2024.
