Gilbert stares at @Voermina and the Pet accompanying them. After a long, frankly awkward moment of silence, they say, "Is that a Lugra?"

"I am a Lugra," the Pet confirms, sounding amused. "An Aquatic Lugra, to be precise."

Gilbert spins to face Jacobi, who recoils a bit in surprise. "I'll be right back," they say. "Hold these."

"Wh- where are you going?" Jacobi asks, bewildered as Gilbert shoves his sword and pouch into his arms.

"Come with me," Gilbert says gruffly to the other Lugra, ignoring Jacobi. They both disappear under the water, and after another moment of silence Jacobi looks at @Voermina.

"Well, that happened," Jacobi says. "Anyway... congratulations, @Voermina! It looks like there are even more Aquatic Pets to be discovered, and you found the Lugra!"



Fished up from the ever clearing waters of Talytil Lake, the new Aquatic Lugra Morphing Potion appears! Discovered by @Voermina, it seems like there is small chance of reeling one in when fishing at certain locations.

From now until the end of October, it will also be available in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts).



Several hours pass before the two Lugrae reappear... except they are both Aquatic. "This is the best," Gilbert says excitedly, giving the water a splash with his flippers. "The best!"

It hasn't been easy, but we've finally reached our first stretch goal! More than 30,000 points have been acquired through our collective work. If you've been helping clean up Talytil Lakes, be sure give yourself a big pat on the back! (And if you haven't helped out yet, there's still plenty of time to jump in -- we still have a good way to go.)



To thank our dedicated participants for their hard work, even more rewards are being prepared by Jacobi! They will be handed out at the end of the event.



Because of our cleaning efforts, the lake is now clear enough to start sailing (and wading) without Gilbert's watchful eye! Hop in a boat or set up a picnic on the shore and start fishing -- you may find some unique Items along the way.

Remember, Talytil Lakes isn't out of the woods just yet. Our final stretch goal is at 50,000 points. Keep up the hard work, and we'll surely reach it in no time!



Not only that -- there are Zabeus in the lakes, and there are Zabeus in the skies! The colourful Rainbow Zabeu is here to carry away your woes (or do its very best to). Thank you to @Irissa for funding such a delightful new Pet!



From now until the end of September, the Rainbow Snow Jar will be available in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts). It is also always available by completing the Rainbow Snow Jar Jigsaw Puzzle.

A reminder that Zabeus do not have Morphing Potions -- your Pet must already be a Zabeu before using a Snow Jar!

Congratulations to sumin9358, who has just won the Ichu Lottery! The jackpot was worth 97,000 iP and the item prize was Ultimate Apple Cider Bomb!

This week's item prize will be Shooting Star Bat! Lottery is drawn every Wednesday.

"That," Jacobi says lightly, as @Heaven and Gilbert return to the Pier, a large, finned Pet beside them. "Is not a Companion."

"Sure ain't!" Gilbert agrees. "It's a whole big critter. Pet, even. Aquatic, even. An Aquatic Zabeu, I reckon."

Gilbert gives a wistful sigh. "Makes a Pirate jealous, if I'm being honest."

"Regardless," Jacobi says, beaming. "Well done, @Heaven, on your discovery! Who would've thought there was a new Pet colour beneath the muck?"



Fished up from the ever clearing waters of Talytil Lake, the new Aquatic Snow Jar appears! Discovered by @Heaven, it seems like there is a small chance of reeling one in when fishing at certain locations.

I was gonna Do a huge news update post- but I realized it had been too long since I updated the news.. soo heres what we'll call part 1!
We've been working on alot of stuff and I apologize for the radio silence! If you're on discord you can see the smaller updates- so heres the compilation of what we've got so far!


Apothecary shop  (shops->plants)

Theres a new store open for herbalism. Its called the apothecary and Zenon will be glad to help you with all of your herbalist needs!

Adding onto this there is now the ability to forage on certain maps. And you will find items to help you make medicines for pets among other things. As well as new recipes! (we are still adding more plants/recipes as we go- this feature isnt completely finished but it works!)

Pet companions

After working on it for two days you can now equip pet companions to your pets. Each companion (minus certain special ones of course) takes three of the Avatar item and one life egg to create
as with everything we will add more as we go.



Beehives
While foraging in the meadow you can now run across Worker bees and Queen bees. There is also a new area of your house for keeping those bees.

once you get there you'll find you have to open them then buy each hive.

In my case I already own 3 other hives. You have to buy the hive before it before you can get the next one.
Each hive can hold one queen and up to 5 workers. The page is I think pretty easy to navigate.
However The amount of things you get depends on how many workers you have in the hive- For info on rewards when harvesting you can go here.
You need both at least one worker and a queen in each hive to get any honey, then you wait 7 days after adding them and honey is ready to harvest! (it looks like this ) if you remove the queen or have 0 workers the clock resets and you have to start over. So if you plan to its better to harvest the honey BEFORE you remove any bees.



Other updates

--All maps have been updated to PHP maps and redone (minus main town- its php but  I still have to redo the images)

--Maps with their new php status have new features, like foraging and finding monsters.

--Monster fights now have a cooldown and open in a new window, as well as appear on their specific areas (minus cloudfox..it has no area yet so it still appears in a pet chat bubble for now)
