The Day The Potion Lottery Went Wild
Darkmatter Potion
Gold Potion
Reborn Potion

That was an intense few minutes!

During the recent outbreak of "things running out of time," the Potion Lottery got a little overzealous in handing out potions. If you received any, please delete them!

Thank you!

Weekend Quest update Jan 25th 2023 plus information going forward
Expired Coffee Beans
Ballroom Etiquette Checklist
Scrapbook of the Future
You may have noticed that Alexander has decided to stick around for a bit for the weekend quest. We're going to keep him that way until Friday, at which point the weekend quest will change and go through Sunday as normal, and we'll make sure to have everything sorted by Monday this time.

Thank you for people who pinged and made forum threads about it! We really appreciate everyone wanting to be on the same page, especially in the face of technical difficulties. We also know it isn't always easy, and I wanted to check with the rest of Subeta's staff to make sure we were all in agreement about the general philosophy of how best to work with y'all when something doesn't quite go according to plan. So this announcement goes for this week and is also going to be pinned as general notice:

If a weekend quest setting fails to reset or expire, or if you have a quest buff that is not expiring, you may continue doing those quests as you normally would even with the coding issues. Please do report it through the problems and bugs forum and we will do our best to keep people updated as well, but in the meantime you will NOT be penalized for using the site as you normally would within Subeta's general rules because of a sitewide problem we need to fix.

Please do report issues through the problems and bugs forum as they pop up, though! We're still invested in addressing problems and enhancing overall experience, and detailed information always helps with that. Thank you for being a part of Subeta, and for helping us improve!

Nostalgic Telenine!
If you have been wondering where I am being for long times, the answer, it is right here: working on this nostalgic telenine pet! Isn't it somethings? I am largely enjoying this one, it is like excellent robot that says pew pew, except it can be folding up! That is very useful for storing away, which I am needings in my workshop these days.

Nostalgic Telenine Instructions
Essence of Melody
Nostalgic Telenine Toy
The instructions are to be found in the Token Shop for now if you are being quick, but also in the shop of my daughter, Thimble & Co! The Essence of Melody is being found in the Millionaire Center.

Remember, if you are wanting help to build them, come to see me at my workshop, and bring instructions and an Essence of Melody, ya?

January Challengers! January Subscription Item!
Friendly challengers are back! Each month, an NPC will join the normal tab of the Battle Coliseum for you to battle. This month is Bibi and Lilah; you might recognize them from the Balloon Hunt at Delphi Carnival.

The friendly challengers this year will not disappear after their month finishes - so you have plenty of time to defeat Bibi and Lilah.


Garnet Embedded Clay Figurine
We're also back to having a new monthly Cash Shop challenger. You can unlock the challenger Gardak using the Garnet Embedded Clay Figurine from the Cash Shop.

Next year, these challengers will show up in the Cash Shop in the month they were released. For now, though, they will stick around until the next month's challenger release! So if you aren't able to get the Garnet Embedded Clay Figurine before the next Cash Shop Challenger, you'll have to wait until next January.

Garnet Carnation Coins
We've changed the special item for our Subscription Quester, Councilor, and Goddess plans. We will be changing this special item slot every month.

Recyclables for the Recycle Beast, Junk for the Junk Throne
Time Zones and Changing Clocks
Articulated Recycle Beast Figurine
Reduce Reuse Recycle Repeat Sticker
The Recycle Beast is ready to add to his hoard, and is eager for new stuff; he will have more categories including rarity 170 and 195 in his asks. We're also testing something; he will be changing what he asks for to twice a day, EDIT more specifically twice in a twenty-four hour period with at least an hour buffer between, at random times. We are hoping this gives people in other time zones a chance to turn their items in at more convenient intervals, and to entice more Subetans to visit Riverside's resident trash hoarder in general despite the smell.

Updates shortly on shop clearing and Potion Lottery when the coding is done for them!
🐛 Weekend Quests
We're aware of the cycling weekend quests (everyone suddenly wants a turn!) and have reset it back to the Wizard. Ignore any other posts announcing a new one until Friday, thank you!

Weekend Quests fixed!
Broken Compass
Guide to Quest Giving
Golden Glory Scratchcard
Weekend quests as well as Potion Lottery and Recycle Beast* should be working properly again! Trying to fix the problem with the existing code was not working, so Keith had to write something new and compatible from scratch. To celebrate we're starting it early so for today through Thursday Wizard Quests will count as weekend bonus. We've reset quests as well. Then on Friday morning the new code should set a new weekend quest for Saturday and Sunday and will be able to select someone properly and according to schedule going forward.

We'll be keeping an eye on the switchover to make sure everything's working. One of the advantages of new code is that it should hopefully be easier to fix if something goes wrong again, whereas unfortunately trying to patch the old cron management for those features was just not proving effective despite multiple tries. Thank you, and we hope you enjoy your questing!

*EDIT 1/19: Recycle Beast, Potion Lottery and shop clearing will require a bit more finagling. They are running still, just on the old cron! They'll just require new code and set-up of their own, but we'll do another front page announcement when we have it nailed down.
Harvest Clawsion and Torrent!
Oh take us back to Autumn, the harvest colors all around, the pond made orange by fallen leaves, and the trees every shade of warmth. Or in lieu of that: adopt a harvest clawsion or harvest torrent, and let your new pet transport you with its earthy scent and rustling movement.

Chibi Experiment #188!
A new year, a new abomination. Meet the chibi experiment #188, please don't get one, we don't need things this adorable running around. At least it still has its stinger, and probably will be swinging it about wildly and without much control. That's something!!

Chaotic Token Shop Restock!
Ducker
Black Widow Evening Gown
Gold Fish Clip
The Ins and Sprouts of Flower Pots
Pigit Sticker
It's time for the first chaotic Token Shop restock of the year!

Over the next 24 hours or so, I will be restocking items randomly in the Token Shop. Don’t assume an item restocked earlier will appear in a later restock, I really am choosing at random. We are not adjusting the wait time between purchases, either, so you’ll have some hard decisions.
