Spring is in full bloom in Kyvalore, and it looks like it’s time to appreciate the flowers!

We’ve got a few little updates this month that I’m excited to share with you!

I’m sure some of you have noticed our mod team has been doing some shifting around, and wanted to let you know of the changes! Firstly, arlinns has stepped down in order to have more time to focus on life and just being a player! So you’ll still see her around, just not as a site admin anymore.
Then, as the Painted Relics ARPG grows and with the goals we have in mind, we needed to really add to our team, so I’d like to announce we’ve got some wonderful new staff members!
Welcome SeaCrest Mazzira Lawlie and @emmy to the team! I’m so stoked to get these wonderful people on board. We’ve already begun brainstorming ways to bring better content and more fun to Painted Relics, both on site and on our discord channel, and begun to implement some of it already!
In the discord you’ll now find a channel called #doodle-board ! You can find the rules pinned in the channel, but it’s a fun channel to create gifts for your fellow members of Painted Relics and receive some yourself!

Due to the lack of entries this last month in the character raffle, we’ve extended it through the month of April! We know life’s been pretty chaotic and busy for everyone, so we want to make sure you still have the chance to enter if you’d like!

We do however have a new Member of the Month, Sylvena ! Thanks for being such a warm friendly face in our discord!

Onto some points on traits!

I’ve spent actual months trying to figure out how the best way to tackle fur growth, and every method always didnt feel quite right. Since the way fur is drawn can be so subjective I didnt want it to feel too limiting, nor something that would be hard for moderators to judge. SO I’ve just decided to remove fur growth rarities altogether, aside from a few special circumstances such as moth mane.
This means over the next week or so I’ll be combing through the site and removing all fur growth traits. Don't worry though, if you have a fur growth trait on your character or a fur growth potion, I will be granting you a same rarity potion of your choice in exchange! This will take me a little bit to comb through everyone, so please hold tight as I go through them! If by th end of next week I haven't gotten to your character or exchanged your items, please reach out as I might have missed you!

Been hunting in a location for something specific, but having a hard time getting that pet, or that location flower? We might have something to help with that!
Two new items have been added to the game! Empty pot, and pet bait! Both items can be attached to your quest to guarantee a gather of the location's unique flower, or one of the location's pets!
The empty pot can be bought from the Botanist’s Shop, and the pet bait can be purchased from the Pet Shop!

Are you ready to celebrate spring?
I think these new pets are!



In celebration of the spring season, there is now an egg hunt on site! There are a handful of eggs to collect on the site, each egg contains a random loot roll that could be one of these 

lovely spring pets, or maybe something else unique to the spring season…

Dont worry if you don't get the ones you were hoping for, Athalie will have these pets in her shop later this month!

And last but not least, just some quick reminders!

Don’t forget to submit your writing and art the gallery on site if you want some bonus shards! Each entry submitted on site redeems 5 bonus shards, so it can add up quick!

And the story quest still goes on, so don’t forget to join in! Kyvalore is reaching a turning point, will you help change the fate of the world, or will you help cause it?
