February 2024 News

♦♦♦

Hello everyone! Buckle in and get ready for some awesome new updates this month. We have several things to introduce to everyone! Let's dig in...

Crafting

Crafting is a new activity we're introducing to Andras! Using ingredients that you obtain from dailies (something we'll discuss below), explorations, and other means, you can create new items, companions, and more. You can find the crafting page under the 'activity' tab, as seen below.

Here, you'll find your recipe book. To craft something, simply hit the 'craft' button, and then select the ingredient(s) you'd like to add from the list. All the ingredients that you need to craft the new item will be listed under 'requirements'. If you have all the required ingredients, they should already be selected in your inventory, and you can craft it! We have a few recipes up now to introduce crafting, and we'll continue to add more as we work on this feature. 

...and crafting brings us to:

Dailies & Weekly Explorations

Under the activity tab you'll also see a page called 'dailies'. Here, you can find some cool weekly activities to check out. Weekly explorations will grant you one free ingredient each week from a pool of regular ingredients. Next to it is a winter exploration weekly activity, which will grant you one free ingredient from a pool of winter-themed ingredients! These activities will reset each week, typically on Monday or Tuesday depending on your timezone. You can get ingredients this way, and you can also get them from exploration prompts. 

We will continue to add to the crafting feature, so keep an eye of for future updates!

February Updates

February brings the return of the Gembond Celebration prompt, an event centered around the gembond subtype. Love is in the air, and woolynes love to gift their special someone a charm made by the talented artisan faelidh in Valiore. Faelidh craft these charms out of faerielite, a unique gem found in some of the most hidden places across the land. Travelers and artisans work together to celebrate this festival, and they enjoy spreading their joy across both Andras and Valiore.

With the return of the Gembond Celebration, new items have cycled into the Mystery Seller's shop. Once the celebration is over, these items will be cycled out, so if you've been on the lookout for gembond traits, now's your chance!

With the winter season in Andras quickly coming to a close, February will be your last chance to participate in these prompts until they return at the end of this year. Additionally, the event prompt "A strange Chill" will also be coming to an end this month, which is part one of our current storyline.

And finally, our February daily advent calendar is up and running! There are some cute prizes this month, and if you don't miss a day, you'll receive a faecat egg!
