Winter '23 Beast Trials Wrap-up

The melodies were mightily impressed by all the amazing shows Aitielkh from all over put on for them, and Valasong provided blessings to many elk in the form of wings and the very unique uni antler! Some melodies were so impressed they even followed the elkh home! Great work, everyone!

The Beast Trial Shop is open until March.

(All participants recieve a participation badge and an additional Lv3 Beast Box!)
The final point tally was 102 out of 60!

Matsana Jungle exploration event

February is typically known for the famous Sono Races, but this year, everything has come to a halt!
Explorer Rambler has returned from a year-long journey and everyone is gathered around him at the center of Tama to hear about his discoveries.

The people of Miatias are familiar with the jungles on the other side of the mountains, but there is much superstition surrounding the area. Miatians value the open sky, and the dense canopy of the jungle is inhospitable in this way, along with generations of stories warning of all manner of unpleasant creatures and strange happenings to those who dare enter. Even Rambler's human adventuring companion Meridian declined to attend this exploration, but Rambler forged ahead.

a new sono subspecies

First, a whole new subspecies of elkh has been brought to light!

Meet Casa Sonos!
These teeny-tiny counterparts to Villa Beps are mildly fluffy all over, but not to the extent of Villas.
Unlike Villa's reputation for a sunshiney attitude, Casas are stubborn, independent, and resourceful.

Casa Sonos are available to make via MYO slots and customs immediately!

See WORLD > ENCYCLOPEDIA >SUBTPYES > Casa Sonos

Exploration event

Rambler also spotted some new creatures and ruins, but he's requesting a team of brave souls to join him on a return trip to learn more.
If enough explorers join in, they may be able to uncover even more exciting discoveries!

Track the event HERE!

Exploring the Matsana Jungle via drawn or written prompts will earn you Mossy Gildes (1 per prompt) which you can later use to purchase Mossy Treasure Chests from the Event Shop (1 gilde = 1 chest). The Event Shop unlocks when the meter reaches 25 points.
Mossy gildes will  vanish 1 week after the event ends (March 7) so please spend them quickly! They will only be used for Mossy Chests in this one-time event, so no need to hang onto them for later.

The contents are a mystery but perhaps teammates will share their findings with you as chests are discovered!

Work together to thoroughly explore the jungle and ruins. If the goal is met, an exciting new discovery will reward all participants!

Goals:

• 25 points- Event shop unlocked ✅
• 50 points- New areas of Matsana Jungle Described ✅
• 60 points- ??? ✅

Updates:

-We reached 25 points and the Events Shop was unlocked! Everyone can now turn in their mossy gildes for mossy chests throughout the event!
-We reached 50 points, unlocking more information about some specific locations in the jungle! Characters (typically sonoelkh and miatian shroomkin) can also live here now. A free pet was added to the event shop!
-

Congratulations! We reached 60 points; the end goal (and so quickly)! All this exploring has uncovered a new playable species called Habapi. These peccary-like creatures have a fascinating history you can read about in the Habapi guide. All participants throughout the event will receive 1 free MYO ticket; additional tickets are available in the event shop for a discount during the event, and will be available at a higher price in the general shop afterward. (if you have yet to participate, you will get one when you do!)

-Hapabi guide created
-Habapi traits added to the encyclopedia
-Habapi design information added to the design guide
-Hapabi now have their own masterlist
-Habapi prompts forthcoming in March
-Matsana Jungle is now a place your characters can live (though we don't recommend humans..)
-Matsana Jungle theme now available under settings- placeholder banner to be updated with different art in the future :>

The event continues through February, so please feel free to continue exploring Matsana Jungle. Perhaps the new locations and creatures we’ve discovered will provide inspiration for new adventures!

The event shop will remain open for the first week of March so any leftover mossy gildes can be spent. We currently have no plans to use mossy gildes in the future, so please spend them promptly as they will disappear after March 7. Remember to pick up your free pet and discounted MYO tickets before that date as well.
