Hello again!

Just clarifying something from my last comment in the previous Q&A and answering a question.

Having a "disenchant all" button in the disenchating table's window in Elessandra's was what I meant, not in inventory. To disenchant everything without having to drag and drop any rune to the 4 available slots.

Also the "purple fella" is the Twilight Minion available in the Shimmering Quarries. :)

Edit: Could we have the exclamation marks white bubble over the critters we whack in High Jungle for the Critter Capture quest?

I've mentioned it before but I think a bar would be great idea. There is already a bar on Amicus Island. We could purchase energy or transformation drinks.

Not sure if this has been suggested before but having a flag appear in the world map for fishing areas we have fished both items from would be a nice qol.

Slogging through the flungeon makes me wonder if players would want a Fluxed Band that increases your max energy and mana by the same percentage as the dungeon depth modifier (resetting if you visit any area the Return button isn't enabled in). At lower percents you'd be better off equipping your choice of energy or mana max item, but with how it's scaling something like this might be the only way the high end players can mana whack twice in a row at max mana.

Would it be a game breaker to have the ability for the "Tuna Trouble" quest on Amicus to count towards the Farmer's Market "Fresh Fish" quest as well?

It seems odd that Tuna are not considered "Fish" :D

The thing is when you hand in the tuna you don't have any fish left to take back to the farmer.

You know what would be fun for the flux? Instead of just having the puzzle be from another area, the field could be the same as the puzzle! I am getting so bored of the same field

1- when we are playing/whacking, we get those pop up's, saying we found a gem or rune, this can get quite annoying, could we perhaps have a option added to the cog icon, along with the music /VFX option, to turn off this types of pop-ups perhaps

2- i think it's high time, the merchants get upgraded with new stuff, here's my idea's


Botanist Merchant

- Coral ( pink or orangy colours) - i think its about time we get coral, since we have few aquatic pets now,

- enough with these northern hemisphere plants ( just joking), lets have some southern hemisphere plants here's a list of some to help

Wattle/Acacia's ( i can give specific species if required), Mistletoe ( i know mistletoe exist in the north hemisphere but the southern ones are prettier) here's a few mistletoe species Amyema cambagei,Lysiana maritima and amyema pendula, bunya pine which could have it's nuts drop or on the tree,


the Hat merchant guy

- a mad hatter top hat - purple etc
- Bucket Hat

Hi Nick,

Just wondering if you have a start date for the Easter Event. This year, Easter will be observed on April 9.

Also, have you been able identify the problem with my ranch?

Oh I see. Thank you for clarifying about the Disenchant All button! I understand that would be convenient in the cases where you do not care what runes you'd like to disenchant. I'm not certain the additional value over the current method is worth the cost of implementing it, but I'll note it down to consider for future Quality of Life updates regardless.

Ah yes, the Twilight Minion. Thanks!

Certainly. I'll add the [!!!] icon to those quest spawns for the next update.

A bar would be neat! Are you thinking to have the bar tender on Amicus sell you drinks?

Hi Nick,

Why are we able to augment small runes of charity to 60% that last 31days but only 50% that last 15 days using large ones?

Also I put in a ticket on 3/20 for a flungeon problem. Can you take a look at it please?

Sorry for hijacking this thread with a personal issue.

Something like this has been suggested before. Something to mark that a map node has a fishing area, and/or something to mark that you've fished all possible items from the fishing hole at that area, as you suggest here.

Oh, certainly something that mitigates the flungeon costs would make for an interesting trinket! I'll note that down to consider.

It seems odd that Tuna are not considered "Fish" :D

I totally see the logic here. "Fish" by this quest's standards means energy drops while fishing (which fish bait affects, versus finding valuables via the gold bait, or junk otherwise). Quest items, like the Tough Tuna are confusingly not considered the same as the fish you catch that yield energy.

Adino provides an alternate in-world explanation, haha!

Similarly, I was originally planning to have the Flungeon fields draw from all the different regions in Bushwhackia! I may add more in the future, but it's been too time consuming with the production schedule so far.

1) Adding a "Hide Item Notifications" option in Gear menu is already on our list to consider adding. It's a popular suggestion, certainly.

2) Excellent suggestions! I'll note these down to consider for a future Amicus merchant update.

We're aiming to start the Easter event next week on Friday April 7th.

I haven't had a chance to look into the ranch loading issues. I haven't experienced any issues with them on my end, so it's difficult for me to debug them!
