Keel Hauliday: 2021
Go visit that there blighter, Carl, if ye want t' hornswaggle our treasures in a way more befitting t' scallywags. Don't be surprised if young Brunhilde finds ye with one o' her almighty belches for th' trouble. Happy Plundering, mateys!
Translation: Hello friends! The Freyalise Trading Co. is back open for business until the end of the month and we're ready for a jolly good party. There's no paint to be found this time, Port Plunder is back to looking as wonderfully quaint as it always has, and even Babette's Inn has been renovated for the occasion, with fresh art in the water closets! And you thought the ocean was the place to be!
Remember to visit the distinguished gentleman Carl if you'd like a little help in locating some of our treasures, he's been generously giving them out via his quests. What a generous man. Maybe Brunhilde will find you and give you her own form of encouragement, the sweet young lady!
Happy Keel Hauliday!
Note: All quests have been reset for today. :)

Last day... Carl spent the whole shoreleave so drunk, he probably didn't even notice, he was merely handing out "junk", which generally is sold in user shops cheaper than the Trading Co. does. Other quest givers were much more generous.
Never eem to be able to grab anything in the shop no matter how much I refresh X_X: or clik items whenever i mnage to see one
I love RSing & battling, and Freyalise is my favorite holiday. For anyone new to restocking, or having trouble catching restocks or getting items when they do see restocks, the wonderful Laur wrote up some great tips on how to get something from a restock (RS):
"- Like other shops, Frey normally RSes every 6th minute. When it says "Restocked 5 minutes ago," it's time to get ready for the RS! Note that it can RS earlier or later, but the 6th minute rule is the norm.
- Like other shops, newest items will always RS at the end.
- When it gets to be about time, scroll down a bit so that you'll see more items in your field of vision upon RS. You don't want to be scrolling after the RS since it wastes time.
- Unlike other shops that tend to RS around the same seconds-after-the-minute, Frey jumps all over the place to make it more difficult and give more people a chance to snag items. This means that you'll want to constantly refresh until the RS on the 6th minute.
- Double or triple RSes are possible, where more items will appear after the initial RS."
I'll add a few things:
- If you're RSing on a computer, when you click on an item to try and buy it, open the item in a new tab (Command + click on a Mac, Ctrl + click on windows) - this means you can click on multiple items to try to RS them without having to click 'back' to get to the main shop page after each one
- Right before the 6th minute rolls around (once it's said 'restocked 5 minutes ago' for 45+ seconds), I start refreshing constantly. When I catch the RS, sometimes I'll refresh one more time because my first one may have caught it before all of the items had been added. If you have a slower connection, best to keep up the page the first time you see items.
- Having a good internet connection is very important (and not being on a really old computer/device that is slow)
With all that said.... come join us on the RS & Chat topic! Whether you're a pro or having trouble RSing, we are very friendly and happy to do our best and try to help out.

Also the shop doesn't restock oodles and oodles of product, unlike the Free Shop, so it runs out quickly.
It's during keel that I realize BHH stocks more frequently (***there's really no difference in the frequency of stocking the BHH, but when compared to The Freyalise Trading Co., the chances of finding something seem optimistically good)
I love that we have a restocking event. I am not successful every time, but I've found that even though I'm rusty with restocking, I can suavely grab at least one item per restock now. It just takes a lot of patience and persistence lol
I learned how to restock because it's easier for me to focus. I've been learning for months now. It feels pretty dismissive to have that effort be written off as a bot.
Somehow I managed to get five (!) items at one restock. I couldn't believe my luck. Messed up the next restock though. It has benefits when you live in another time zone than the majority.
Also thanks for the opponents now that I finally have a pet that's in training. It already managed to defeat Angrybeard five times.

I haven’t gotten anything from the shop, but I’ve gotten a surprisingly large amount of items from Carl’s quests and Ocean Depths vending. :)
I've actually seen items in the shop a few times today but the second I click on anything it's all gone every time. Bah. Next holiday please and hopefully a fun one this time.

Where are the challengers? This is getting boring. :) I am tired of seeing white pages. XD
maybe if i keep telling myself that ill one day be able to click fast enough to get something it'll happen
TENTACLE HAIR. FINALLY. my splatoon ocs have arrived

Yeah I've yet to get a single item, despite refreshing at restock multiple times. Probably going to ignore this holiday.
I doubt there are bots at play cause I've been able to get a good chunk of books Elfric's been missing for a few years. And I absolutely suck at RSing otherwise.
But forget bots, battle? Yes? :o

@MilkyWay Unfortunately no we don't but with anywhere between 300-500 people being on and having restocks every so often, more then likely stuff will get bought very quickly when a holiday shop is open. I managed to get an few items but I've been at the shop refreshing the page every few minutes. Users need to stop assuming there are bots just because they aren't fast enough or online when they can't get an item. I'm not trying to be a debbie downer but that's how it is.
Are people actually saying some users are using bots? Um...no? Subeta has a rule about having only one account and I'm very positive a good amount of users know when the shop restocks. If you are having trouble getting items, may I suggest doing Carl quests and vend at the ocean depths, like another user before me said as well.
I’ve not been trying very hard and I’ve gotten maybe 15 items already. I just grab what I can and click quickly! Plus the event is going on until the end of the month so there’s plenty of time to try and get stuff. :)
For everyone accusing others of using bots because the shop is empty - the "Restocked Now!" message stays there for the first whole minute after the restock. Items usually sell out in about 15-25 seconds when 300-500 people are online.
Restocking has patterns and the people who have figured them out will be there the moment the shop restocks and it's got nothing to do with bots.
Keep at it and you might notice the patterns as well!

Psst, it’s the first 24 hours of the event. The news post for it is at the top of the homepage, with 2 links directly to Freyalise. No need for conspiracy theories, there are hundreds of other people refreshing at the shop and clicking on items as they restock. If you’re having issues, I have 3 solutions for you:
1. Quest with Carl.
2. Vend at Ocean Depths.
3. Check the trades, and make a trade lot of your own with all the items you don’t need. Swap for stuff! Remember though that all of these items essentially have the same value: free. So if someone wants to trade your 500k beanbag for their 200k wearable, go for it. Everything will inflate massively after the event ends.

Plenty of users are getting items from Freyalise without the use of bots. I can normally get 1-2 items an RS, and I've had a couple of RSes where I've managed 3 or 4 (even with the 5 seconds between buys). Please don't assume people are using bots just because items are being bought quickly. Come check out the RS and Chat thread and you'll see a number of users posting their grabs.
@Shawny @CursedVoid
While I can't prove or disprove the usage of bots by users, I know that it's entirely possible to get a nice item without resorting to cheating. It's a frustrating holiday for sure, there's a lot of competition, but if you start refreshing around 4 or 5 minutes since the last restock, it's higly possible you'll manage to grab an item. Granted, a lot of items you get aren't worth much, but every once in a while all this effort pays off! :)

i know im a day late to this but OMG, so many GORGEOUS new items!! art team outdid themselves seriously!! thank you so much staff for this!! 🥰💙💙
To those saying they can't grab anything, the shop consistently restocks every six minutes so far I've seen. Just watch the subeta timer and spam click refresh to try and grab something. So far, I've gotten at least one item a restock if I;m paying attention.
@CursedCorvid I hope Subeta does something about the pathetic greed running rampant on this site but I am not holding my breath.
@Shawny I honestly wouldn't doubt it. It's like the second it restocks everything is bought.
@CursedCorvid I'd put money I don't have on it being bots people use to gain an unfair advantage.
Dang only 390 people online and the shop is sold out while it still says restocked now! :O Every single person must be clicking instantly! Is autoclicker a thing for shops or are you persistent monsters psychic? lol What on Subeta?!
Oh my gosh those tenatacles are just SCREAMING for an Ursula cosplay.
You'll have your LOOKS!
Your pretty FACE.
And don't underestimate the importance of... BODY LANGUAGE, HA!

It feels more competitive this year! Last year I seemed to be able to get at least one thing per restock. Not that I don't mind the competition, but it shows I probably am out of practice in terms of restocking lol
Oof, I have yet to see any items stocked and I've refreshed many times today. Must. Get. FASTER
the shop be bringing back the good ol days of the money tree on the forbidden site! gotta go fast, the competition is on!!
also, Pete gave out a new shirt so that was very nice of him!

I've only seen items in the shop twice so far and both times everything was sold out before I could click on anything. Very frustrating and annoying. Sure wish they could find a better way to do this.
The new items are lovely! I hope my luck turns around for tomorrow, cuz today I got nothing new from Carl or vending crosses fingers
man, pretty unfortunate that the shops just sell out literally seconds after being restocked. saw some cute mermaid boots i wanted, sold out, then tried to get literally anything else and they were sold out... at least you can still get items from the quests i guess. :(
I guess when i go home I will go on your business class mainlined computer and try and get stuff because with a tablet it is not happening. I got two items I got 2 years agol
THIS SUCKS

@Amei
So no plot of doom only Tempest. I forgot about her. She must like the main land though. Veta, Peka, Centropolis, Delphi, and Riverside are all sunny.

Restocked now and not even a second later it's empty! I didn't even see any items in the shop AT ALL!!! Are items going in?????? Or are they going into a black hole...never to be seen again?? lol
@hannahharmin
Not a glitch. It rains harder on Monday because Tempest doesn't much care for Mondays.

You all should do some exploring!!!!!! Half of the lands are covered in dark skies, including Omen Islands, Port, Arctic, Shengui Guo. It's raining at Shadowglen and only the main land is still sunny, at this point. Is this a sign of what's to come @Amber, or a glitch?
FYI: If it says Restocked Now! and there's nothing there, it means that items just restocked (even just 2-3) but they sold out within just a few seconds. I find that the stop typically restocks every 5-6 minutes.
@BoaConstrictor
I read that as "they don't wanna risk the bad luck of docking/setting up shop the same day as there were red skies," not "bad luck to set up on the same day as you dock".
AKA, they didn't dock OR set up yesterday, but instead dock AND set up shops today.

"there were red skies earlier today, and they didn’t want to risk the bad luck of setting up shop the same day"
to me that said "there were red skies in the morning on september 19th, so we are not opening on september 19th" (which again, is when everyone expected it to start)
(also it's the same length it always is, 10 days)

they wrote yesterday:
"Captain Jacques and crew will be docking at Port Plunder tomorrow morning" which meant today in the morning. "According to the note they sent ahead with a Fala, there were red skies earlier today, and they didn’t want to risk the bad luck of setting up shop the same day."...as they would arrive. So they arrive today, but won't set up shop today, because of the red skies' bad omen.
But, as I said, the sooner the better.

Possibly my least favorite holiday. I never seem to even see the shop restock , lets not talk about actually getting anything... T_T At least there is Carl. Some shiny beautiful new items this year.
@BoaConstrictor
it wasn't a joke? we got a news post because people expected it to start yesterday as it's on the holiday schedule as starting on the 19th (international talk like a pirate day)

I don't get the joke of first telling us yesterday, it won't open today but only tomorrow, but whatever, the longer the better.
Happy Keel Hauliday everyone!
*me: omg- there are items in the shop….!!
clickity-clicks
*me: and…. they’re all gone!
😳
Ah, I remember the shop stalking required now! Lol….
Good luck everyone… it is possible to nab items! And thank you Carl! You may be a blighter but your OUR blighter!

Huh, I swear I just got a Subeautique item as one of the bonus Carl rewards. I have no idea if thats normal, but I'm certainly not complaining.
Whoo, pirate stuff! Has anyone had luck with restocks? It literally says RESTOCKED NOW in green with nothing, hahaha. It's Monday guys, go back to work and let me keep ignoring mine.

Items in the item directory are listed by release date. If you juts go to the last couple of pages they'll be there. It's everything after the previous anniversary releases that were in the news.

Yay, my favourite holiday! Wonder if I should splurge on a gold account medal so I can get those few extra Carl quests.
Everyone keeps crowding it! I literally am never able to buy anything! But it kinda looks cool
"Jeez blue quests already asking for one of the new books lol"
And one of the plushies too.

I'll keep this infamous shop in a separate tab and maybe I'll get something; don't think I've ever been online for this event, so any book will be good for me :D
*is ready for the challengers too

...And this is why I did Wizard and Blue Building quests this morning. Now I can do them again and get more.
Ah yes, the annual shop where I can never get anything because it's always sold out of the good stuff and by the time my slow computer can click on anything there's only stuff left that nobody wants. Will be putting everything on my WL again as usual. But thanks for nice new stuff, it all looks great. Will be going to see Carl now.
Happy Keel Hauliday!
Maybe one of these days I'll actually get both sides of a quest reset ;)
