If you receive Tethys' Echoes quest with no rewards, or her Broken quest with no Skeleton Key, please Message me to get the right rewards! Or, you can also just cancel your first hourly quest and the next one will be fixed.
New Recipes: Mug Cakes!
Quick Fix
Whew, a whole lot sure has been going on lately, huh? Lycus has been coming and going constantly lately to that Reef through the Tatters. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him outside so much since we were kids and even then I had to drag him out. Still, his showing up at all hours, stinking of sea water and leaving puddles everywhere has been... a challenge. I know he just wants to check in with Piper so she knows he’s okay - well, and get supplies from the Lab, but... that smell, ugh.
Worse, I swear that boy is trying to starve himself. You can’t go swimming for hours on end without eating, even if you can magically breathe water! I’ve had to give Piper a way to easily and quickly make some hot food to shovel into her idiotic brother before he collapses on my floors. It might not be the healthiest food, sure, but some hot sugar and carbs will at least give him enough energy to get home. Besides, he lives off cereal; this stuff has more nutrients in it than that.
What am I talking about? Well, I’ve got all these mugs from people giving them to me as gifts for my coffee, and I’ve found it way easier to just put other food in them too. From there I figured I may as well be cooking in mugs! So I cracked out my Mug Cake recipes for Lycus and Piper to bake, since they only take a microwave and some simple ingredients I have lying around.
The easiest to make is probably also my favorite, the Coffee Mug Cake which is made with real instant coffee. It can be easily mistaken for the Chocolate Mug Cake if you don’t smell them first, so I recommend using a chocolate drizzle to easily denote which is which.
Next up are two peas in a pod, the Confetti Mug Cake and the Vanilla Mug Cake. I think the Confetti cake is sweeter since it takes a heap of Mixed Sprinkles to make, but they’re both nice, simple flavors.
If you’re willing to expend a little more effort, then the Apple Spice Mug Cake, Marble Mug Cake, and Carrot Mug Cake are all fantastic snacks. I’ve been all but force-feeding Lycus the carrot one to make sure he’s eating some form of veggies. I don’t know what’s in that Bunches O’Barnacles, but if it is anything like well... whatever else those pirates eat, then I know he needs something healthier.
Finally, the Strawberry Mug Cake might take the most effort to put together, but I think it’s well worth it when you need something fast on the decedent end of dessert. I have a hard time keeping Piper out of mine when I make it, so make sure you’re prepared to share with your friends, Kith, and anyone else alike.
Site Contest Rule Update
Hello again, everyone! I have a rule clarification that I'd like to share with regards to the Item Design Contest going on this month.
Items cannot promise new features that do not already exist on the site. If an item design promises a feature that does not exist, staff reserve the right to change the design/function as necessary.
Existing item features include: grant another Kith slot to a user, change a Kith's Personality, teach a Recipe, grant a Cooking Tool, grant another item/a set of items (like the Badges do in the Premium shop), grant a Kith ability points, allow a user to change a Kith's name, change a Kith's color, show a Kith's Personality points, change a Kith's Personality points, change a user's reputation with a Character, allow a Kith to be traded once, and add a slot to a user's Dressing Room. Please also note that these features do not include additional art, like designing a new Kith color!
However, popular demand for certain new features will be noted and should also be supported in the Suggestions Forum!
Thank you all so much for your great ideas! We look forward to seeing your entries!
New Premium Items: Tails and Sails
Tidal Triumph
Hello everyone! I hope you've all been well. Ever since the Everstorm calmed, things have been incredibly busy at the Reef, both above and below the surf. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would see outsiders like you. For that matter, I didn't think the storm would ever stop! But here we are, and here you are.
Everyone's just beside themselves with gratitude now that we can actually tell heads from tails, and I've seen more than a few fights break out over who should get to thank you all first! After chatting with the Pirates and the rest of the Merfolk, we've all decided that we should just thank you all at once. So, well, on behalf of everyone from the Coal Reef, thank you! Thank you so much. Words will never be enough to express how much you've done for us by opening up our world. But we'll try to show you our gratitude another way.
So! To that end, I've brought with me two very special items for your Headmaster to look after. These are the Captain's Set Badge Bundle and the Merfolk Tail Badge Bundle. Each one carries the blessings and adoration of their respective people.
The Pirates, a proud and hearty people, have decided you've proven your worth to be counted not just as shipmates, but as Captains for the sunken fleet. Before the Everstorm there were very few things they considered as great as being honored with one of the vessels they lost before the storm started, so this is quite an honor! The set comes in many pieces, including the Captain's Sword, Captain's Shirt, Captain's Pants, Captain's Hat, Captain's Coat, Captain's Boots, and the ever important companion, the Captain's Birdy. The clothing comes in ten beautiful colors, while the birds have six colorful plumages.
My people, the Merfolk, bring something a bit different. According to the songs, there was a spell from the first days of the Everstorm that can turn legs to fins, and, of course, vice versa! So, we offer you all the chance to trade your sun-soaked world for our beautiful depths. We offer to you, with all our thanks, the Merfolk Shimmer Tail, Merfolk Shark Tail, and the Merfolk Frilled Tail. With these, even the weakest swimmers can become one with the tides!
And to those who aren't interested in such titles or gifts, too, I want to thank you again for all that you've done. I hope we have a long friendship ahead of us and gentle waters to share!
