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. A very neat idea for a new bonus type and pet! I'll note it down to consider should the Crusader's limited-time quest come back around.

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! (2018) http://www.codenameentertainment.com/?page=blog&post_id=732#blog Day(s) of Forests (2019) http://www.codenameentertainment.com/?page=bw2&post_id=861#blog It is a bit late for another October limited-time quest/mini-event. Behind the curtain here, we're aiming to have a limited-time quest, mini-event, and main event every month. I'll keep these in minds for re-runs in the future! Thanks :)

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. A very thoughtful idea! Is the expectation that the Commons would look different after the repairs?

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 1) Renovating the school is a neat quest idea! Thanks for fleshing it out as well with specific quests. I'll note it down to consider. 2) I recall these quest ideas! Thanks for the reminder. 3) I see the appeal of this, and I'll give it some thought. We don't want too many different packaged deals available at one time, as it leads to a bunch of popups when you open the game. Perhaps there's a good compromise though!

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. :-) Thank you for following up with this! I'll see if I can get those added for the ranch.

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. I do agree either of your suggestions would be an improvement! We'll see if I can fit those in to a future quality of life update.

We do have a few claw gloves, some of which might be wolverine-esq! Making a whole costume would be fun. I'll note it down for Georgia to consider.
