Anyways, just a thought for maybe a future Dino Dig Event or something.

The crop list could be filled out with almonds, walnuts, cashews, pistachios, and others at various levels including lower levels. *https://forum.codenameentertainment.com/?thread_id=26279#106124

174 Posts	Link to post - Posted October 7th 2023 at 7:02 PM Last Edited October 14th 2023 at 4:30 PM Hongkongelder1130 In the DINO DIG it might be fun to put in something like the MONOPOLY tokens ie. the shoe, the race car, the little dog etc. to find in the dig zone area as bonus trophies to dig up make digging a lot more fun! If you find them you win a prize attached to that item. or you could use the CLUE items ie. the candlestick, the rope, the revolver, etc. or if those are under copyright ---something along those lines. . OR MAYBE AND I THINK I LIKE THIS BEST We could make our own set of BW2 items! Nate's dynamite, the Princess' hat , Hanks broom, Clint's cowboy hat, Inspector Kaine's magnifying glass, the candy apple barbells, etc. just some ideas; worth a diamond, an emerald, a moonstone, a jade, or a couple of alchemy tokens, some island tokens --- some flux dusts, two flux flax seeds --- something valuable something worth digging for right up till the very end....lol HKE

15 Posts	Link to post - Posted October 9th 2023 at 5:28 PM Blahramewe An idea I had for a CotLI-based pet: Mycall the Mushroom At level 40 the pet has a 5% chance to drop a spore, which causes a mushroom to spawn instead of a bush or critter. When this mushroom is whacked it has a 0% chance to drop fruit, gold, mana or power. This means that the rarer drops like quest items, gems, feeds, etc have a better chance of being obtained.

It would be fun to see a return of the "Oktoberfest" (2015) and the "Zombie Hunting" (2017), and maybe see them repeated as regular seasonal limited-time quests. Here's a Post-Thanksgiving quest from 2017 that I'm hoping you might be able to squeeze in this year: "A Post-Feast Feast" (Community Quest) There are so many Thanksgiving leftovers, and a visitor in the Commons doesn't want them to go to waste! It's a tall order, so they'll need the help of all the Bush Whackers! http://www.codenameentertainment.com/?page=blog&post_id=612#blog A few other oldies but goodies: Doggy Housing Crisis Community Quest (2018) http://www.codenameentertainment.com/?page=blog&post_id=670#blog Mythical Mount Community Quest (2018) http://www.codenameentertainment.com/?page=bw2&post_id=709#blog BIFA Bushwhackia Cup!

137 Posts	Link to post - Posted October 11th 2023 at 1:25 PM Tola I know that CNE likes to keep running mini-events and there's only so much truly unusual that can be done. Maintenance (or repairs) is a never-ending chore, though, and it's about time the Bush Whacker helped keep the Commons looking like a static image immune to entropy. The town crier beseeches the whacker when you warp into town, or at least has either the ! or speech bubble to tell you he needs a word with you. A storm is coming and buildings need reinforced/has hit and buildings need repairs, monsters attacked or more accurately blundered blindly into things, Nate was careless with dynamite... maybe all of the above on a randomizer. The Commons has hired a professional work crew but only for the next four days and they're short on supplies, Would You Kindly collect 60 lumber from Jim, 60 brick from Brock and an assortment of tools that CNE already has graphics for before they run off, ne'er to be seen again (for this particular job)? In exchange the whacker can get a tool that CNE already has a wield graphic for but hasn't made available, if any, or possibly just an energy restorative that seems fitting as snacks for a construction site because they had some left over.

You had the mount deals go for a week till the next weekend giving more opportunity for players to get it, And same goes for the pets too really , make them extend till the event ends perhaps

You asked which colors. Here's an excerpt from my forum post (Q&A 129) in Aug.: In addition to the orange hay bale that we already have, Could you also give us Grey, Green, Black, and Pale, from the Haunted Mansion? ... And Red, Purple, Blue, Yellow Hay from the Cenote site? Hope this information helps. Thanks P.S. It would be awesome if the hay is stackable. Spider webs and wall/floor blood are still on my wish list, if you're able. :-)

How about adding a warning that your mana is full or just not generating the mana and provide a note to come back later when your mana isn't so full.
