Feel free to post your questions in advance if you're unable to attend, and I'll try to answer all the questions during the live session.

As it currently stands you are locked into whatever you chose the first time, and that could have been years ago before you'd understood trinket strategy.

So this left me wondering ... Are the starting cat-tribute numbers random, or might they be based on the level of our puppy companion? Also, do the cat-tribute scores have a cap? 2)Is the DNA reward based on the total amount of School Cat quests that we complete in general? Or is it relative to which of the cat-tribute quests we choose do. (ie. doing the same quest daily, vs. alternating all 4 quests) 3) "The DNA is rewarded on the 2nd Wed of the event," but a few players have asked if the "Cats Teaching Dogs" Achievement will also given on that day.

Blue Dust for Mana Runes). That being said, it's always safe to disenchant scavenged or non-augmented normal runes (to exclude premium runes acquired in premium package deals). I assume most of peoples runes inventories are taken up by common low-level runes that can be safely disenchanted.

It's too late to add this to this year's event, but I'll note it down for next year.

They do not have a cap, but are limited by how many of the daily quests you can complete. 2) Your first assumption is correct. The final DNA reward is based on all your Cat-ributes added together. So you simply want to do as many dailies as possible, regardless of which one. 3) Yes, the achievement is tied to receiving the DNA reward that unlocks on Wednesday.

Could you explain what that means? Thanks The ranch item named "Ice Tile" was previously granting "passability", meaning it would let you walk over where ever it was placed, regardless if that space was previously unpassable.

3657 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 22nd 2022 at 1:01 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) Okay folks, this is all I have time for, thus concluding this week's forum Q&A! Thank you for the questions, feedback, and discussion! I hope those quietly reading this afterwards find it informative. Tune in to the Bush Whacker Weekly livestream tomorrow for more ranch touring! See you then!
80 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 22nd 2022 at 1:10 PM ajv1 Nick, I have 200 runes and nearly all of them are Pristine... All my event runes are augmented at 100%.. it hurt to have some of them not get into my inventory cuz I forgot to turn some lesser ones I earned into dust... I had paid for the event runes! I have had to turn pristine runes into dusts at times in order to make runes that I need (usually puzzle runes). Is there some way that runes that are earned special or paid for could automatically be added to inventory no matter how many runes we have?
3657 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 22nd 2022 at 2:05 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) Thanks for the insights, ajv1! I'll consider bumping up the rune limit and having premium runes go into your inventory regardless of the limit.
