New Challenger: Bewitched Bookcase
This bewitched challenger works differently than your typical challenger. The difficulty changes drastically as you get in more wins against this haunted foe. Its special loot is given out at different amounts of wins instead of the usual 5 & 10 wins. You'll surely be well read after defeating this spooky adversary.
If you start a new subscription (or wait a month) it'll automatically be added to your account. However, if you already have a subscription and visit the Battle Coliseum you should get an event unlocking the challenger.

I can understand the folk who are disappointed because they can't subscribe (I've been there!), but personally I'm happy that Subeta is moving towards a place that makes the business more sustainable. I've seen so many sites rise and fall, and I subscribe to Subeta whether or not I'm currently engrossed in playing, just because I want the site to continue to succeed and stick around.
Love this challenger, and I can't wait to find some time to work through all the wins!

WOW. The loot books are already getting cheaper. Eep. Love the challenger tho! WOOT!
how long will this challenger be available to subscribers? will we have access to it indefinitely, or are there plans to cycle it out for other challengers over time?
Nice! I forgot that you still have the subscription til it ends, so I did get the Chanllenger! Yay!
Wow, what a challenger.
I'm not opposed to having subscription exclusive challengers. It's a way to bring more money into the site, and add some new battling features.
I just don't want all the new challengers to be tied to subscriptions.
This dude though- wow that's so many books.
My capped pet burned through 60 wins in no time. My day-old T12 was able to get through win 50 without a loss.
He can't make it through the 51-60 block yet, but definitely in time.
Thank you for rereleasing those books, though I imagine the values are going to tank a bit. No skin off my back, since I never had a copy to sell in the first place, but should be interesting.

@Marlboro
I actually asked that once cuz I was curious! Let’s see if I word this properly, lol. The GA is counted separately from a subscription! I don’t sub but I have a GA right now so for example, using my info:
Gold Account Info
Bought on Nov 27, 2021 - 11:14 PM
Expires on May 02, 2022 - 12:14 AM
Time left (roughly) 2 months, 2 weeks, 5 days
If I were to subscribe then the 2mo/2w/5d would be “saved for later” so after the subscription ends, it would start using up the GA time again.
Unrelated to @ marb and entirely related to the loot drops:

Well bummer. I've had a subscription since day one, but wanted to move up to the top one and just canceled mine 2 days ago. Guess I'll have to wait til Saturday. That loot is right up my alley
Gonna go ahead and say that I really like the challenger! This might be my favourite update after a long time. It's a nice way to spend some time battling while making other books obtainable. I would love to see new and current challengers with something similar in mind while giving CSC challengers more worthwhile drops. I think it would also help to not somewhere on the site what this challenger might be for and why new potential subscribers should be interested in fighting it. A Food challenger would be pretty cool eventually and who knows, some resets every now and then wouldn't hurt either, hehe. ;)
@DefJamRecords
Maybe you should make a thread so it doesn't get buried. I certainly might use it every once and a while.

Oh, y'all put the old event books that people have been asking to return for years into a challenger that's pay-only. Okay that's cool :/
I mean at least there will be some in circulation I guess.

All good lol
And buddy GAs are different than what I’m asking for, so I do have people that I gift my buddy GAs to. What I think would be a good idea is to allow me to purchase ($ not sp/csc) full blown subscriptions for people. (So they would get the same benefits I do as a subscriber)
I think it would be a useful tool to maintain the cyclical income Keith mentioned, and especially nice for those in different countries that don’t have access to subscriptions, or just people who flat out can’t afford them.
I would gladly allocate $50-$100-$200 whatever, extra per month, maybe more depending on desire, to gift out subs. I’m sure I’m not alone on that either.

This is awesome!!! Thank you for adding more perks to the subscriptions. Can’t wait to show this darn bookcase who’s boss!
Is anyone else having problems with the sub? I only received the CW vouchers, opponent and buddy GAs. No GA, item or CSC for me XD
Well, that was an embarrassing mistype. So sorry @DefJamRecords and everyone who listens to like, any music.
@DeafJamRecords - I'm pretty sure that's already a feature with the Buddy GAs, unless you're thinking of something that isn't directly tied to the current subs.
I'm in the same line of thought as @kitten. Battling doesn't interest me much so I'll wait for any prizes to hit shops. But if there were same-priced tiers that didn't have access to the battlers but had more CW vouchers or HA customizations, I'd pick that.

Reading through these comments I'm concerned people might not realize Subeta is a company and companies need money to run. Kudos to the team for coming up with a challenger that is both fun and rewarding for users that already have a sub and encouraging sale point to some others. Subscription models are fantastic and I'm all for it, my only wish is in the future we might get more choice over what we can have in our sub I find like most users some of the things are not useful to me and often times while it's more interesting the "bloat" of things you get from a sub can even be more of a deterant than you think.
Next question: if I pause my subscription, will I have access to the challenger again, when I renew?
Side question, any chance of adding a ‘gifted subscription’ option?
I’d love to gift out subscriptions to users who can’t get them!

ok just tell me this, I've got 9 months left from my gold account, thanks to gifts from holidays that I refused to sell (thanks my friends you're amazing!)
so if I'm subscribing to the Quester now, what happens to the 9 month? will I just get another month?
tbh I barely know if I can even pay, I live in Costa Rica right now and I'm scared that a payment that from Subeta, a business that the bank has no clue about, might lock my card and then I will have to go through hell to get a new one.

Yeah, I dunno how I feel about occasionally added rental challengers.
I'd like a perk that's not wearables, but. Can't say renting a challenger for $5 a month is appealing either?

yes, i am aware of the reasons for the subscription challenger, and again, i don't mind and i'm excited to see if this scaling style challenger is reused in the future. i'll probably sub next week if the subscription item is my style! i was just worried that the majority of future paid challengers might be tied to subscriptions.

Love the addition!

Tell ‘em Keith! Such a solid move.We want to make the improvements players have been asking for, and it means that we'll have to be a little bit more business-minded to make it happen.
Just popping in to say that while it does take a while, T1 pets can totally make the 10 wins. I expect books to flood the market. You lose out on the experience but at least everybody can share the books. I'm planning on taking all my pets through it.

@jensen Yup -- that's kind of the problem. We need cyclical, predictable, income that we can make decisions against (hiring, contractors, servers, etc) and it's really hard to make any kind of predictions without subscriptions making the bulk of our monthly income.
We want to make the improvements players have been asking for, and it means that we'll have to be a little bit more business-minded to make it happen.
Hopefully you'll be able to get the prizes from user shops, or subscribe for a month to get the amount of wins you're looking for!

Luckily, @MarchOnOff, the books aren't account bound. So they will hit the market at some point!
Oh I'm having fun with this one! It's rainin' books! I'm also glad to see my subscription is giving me something I want to use. I always struggle to spend my CW vouchers but I'm always down for a good challenger. :P

STAFF
@MarchOnOff Of course the prizes will be available from users with subscriptions who complete the battles, so hopefully you'll be able to find what you need in user shops :)
@Keith
Then thanks a lot. Usually I don't give a rat's behind, but it's the books I'm after. Don't worry, I'll live. I still think is very unfair though.

I agree.but i sure hope this isn't the start of battling transitioning to some kind of pay-to-play model tied exclusively to subscriptions
We've been there, when you lost your rank without the extra Battle Quests put into the GA.
Much worse, I decided to pay for them and then they got removed and my money just poofed, never got a refund or anything.

@MarchOnOff Then unfortunately you can't get a subscription, and won't be able to get this challenger.
LMAO are you SERIOUS with this? You guys are now COUNTRY-LOCKING challengers now? Fuck you guys lmao.
