Cooking Update
Some big changes are happening today to Cooking!
We've spent some time brainstorming how to make the Cooking levels more meaningful, and Jay's new Recipe shop tab is our solution! All Recipes will be removed from the General Store's regular inventory, and will stock separately in their own special Recipe tab. This tab will reveal more Recipes as you level up, offering easier Recipes at lower levels, with fewer Tools and Ingredients needed. Removing the Recipes from the General Shop and Devoted tabs will also help increase your chances of finding the right Ingredients when you want them!
Due to some concerns about Kith ability increases, we will also be removing the bonus ability points received at every other Cooking level. Kith will still receive 1 bonus ability point when you have maxed out your Cooking skill. We're very sorry if this feels like an inconvenient "nerf" to Kith leveling, but we want to make sure our crafting systems can scale for many years of gameplay to come! (We aren't going to stay maxed at Level 10 forever, you know!)
Let's celebrate our new changes with some Cooking Achievements! You'll receive a standard Achievement for every new Cooking level you unlock, of course, but we've also hidden some unique Achievements in the number of times you cook certain Recipes. Have fun sniffing out those secret Achievements for some silly new Titles to equip!
Please note that it may take up to 24 hours for these changes to become available to your account. As always, if you run into any problems or concerns, please report to the Technical Support Forum for help!
New Hairstyles: Return of the Short Styles!
Growing it Out
Hello all you gorgeous people! Surprised to see me back so soon? I've been having so much fun down at the Salon with last release of short hair that I just had to play around with some more styles! This time I left a little more on the top, as they say, and come up with 5 new looks.
To start I have the new Long Bangs look. Unlike some of the previous bangs, these grow out all the way from the crown of the head. While you can wear them on their own for something like a bowl cut, you can also layer them with a lot of the long styles for a whole new look. I have a personal fondness for how they look with the Dreads Hairstyle. That little bun peeking out in the back is just too cute.
For the other four styles, I have some fun new full heads of hair. First we've got the Tall Curls hairstyle, taking that natural curly hair we saw in the tall fade and teasing it into some high-reaching coils. A little bit of extra work for a whole lot of impact! Oppositely, it takes a whole lot more work for the Quiff hairstyle. I know the Headmaster used to rock this back in his younger days, so we can be sure of this tried-and-true look. While it may take some regular re-brushing to keep in place, it does give off a certain rebellious air, doesn't it?
Next we have the Sleek Side Part, taking some longer bangs on a shorter hair and fixing them into place for a subtle, sophisticated look. Don't worry, I'll send you home with extra styling gel to keep it in place. Which you might end up needing for the Pushback hairstyle I have rounding out this update. Sometimes you can get inspiration even from having your hair groomed by a Kith! Funny, right? Fray has a weirdly long tongue.
So let me know what you think this week, darlings! What's hot, what's not, and what do you need to bring out that look of the inner you? I'm all ears; nothing beats chatting while I work!
