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.

118 Posts	Link to post - Posted July 27th 2023 at 11:31 AM TheCatWhispurrer Didn't know where to post this, so I'm choosing here. This is an invitation to tour my ranch/island/pasture. I know you've visited in the past, but this time, my island is complete. Uh, sorry, but there is still no Mini Golf Course.

In order to start the quest you must first have a diamond (either whacked from a bush or combined from lesser gems) then talk to Ellesandra. After a short conversation about the things top-tier alchemists can do, she sends you on 3-4 quests to gather ingredients for you to make your very own diamond, which you do at the end of the last quest. Once you get a diamond, a 30-day cooldown begins before you can undergo another quest chain to create another diamond.

They're sorta fun in a swarm -- Just some feed back. Are there any VW bugs in the works? a blue bug a luv bug a Herbie bug ect... a bus? What about changing runes and swords. Is this QOL update, sorely needed, coming? I Loved Blahs idea about chiseling out diamonds with a diamond quest, yes yes yes. Maybe that could get a green light down the road? Maybe you'll Consider it? Took me by surprise with a second summer pet sale, but it was welcome. And, I bought a couple, three, four, five pets and mounts. The Mrs. was very generous to me, and so was AP and with what i already had well oh and the bb sale nick I was able to stretch my bb far. Aussie Pirateer sent me a very generous bb gift. Thanks to him/her my bb went farther. If you know AP thank him or her for me. I suspect he or she is from Australia lol (still haven't seen the fairy horse or the cosmonaut, the little chef or cloudy cloud, the upside down garbage can or that ever elusive, never melting, first snowman.) "I've got a little list and they never would be missed oh they never would be missed" MIKADO

It does not do anything just a deco for the ranch. Perhaps rename it OR give it a "magic effect" Was really disappointed in this and will think twice now over buying things if they are not true to there name description. i bought mine thinking there was something magic about the lamp. It just sat there. I clicked on it, rotated it. It just sat there. Then i thought, "Is it just me or is there something special I'm missing from this lamp?" Well Nick, Am I missing something magical? Could you make it do ---something! That's what I bought it for.

118 Posts	Link to post - Posted July 31st 2023 at 11:34 AM TheCatWhispurrer Just a small suggestion for a possible future content update: We have a Cretaceous Park as a Nate quest, why not an entire Cretaceous World? To continue the franchise, you know. Could be a small theme park with the possibility to earn coins to buy dinosaur pets/mounts, gates, electric fencing, etc. Open it with a special package deal to purchase all or maybe one or two past prehistoric mounts. But again, it's merely a suggestion.

We're aware of this request and agree the smallest puzzle pieces can be hard to see for some players. I haven't settled on a best solution to this, as it's a side-effect of having to collect more puzzle pieces. It's still on our list to consider for future quality-of-life updates. Sorry for the inconvenience. In the meantime, some players have found using the magnifier tool in Windows helps.

I've added you to the list of tour volunteers. I'm looking forward to it! No worries about the golf course.

"I've got a little list and they never would be missed oh they never would be missed" MIKADO Thanks for the Super Blueberry feedback. The Volkswagon Beetle car is still on our suggestions list. They'll likely have to be convertables, so your avatar can poke out, but I can already picture how neat they'd be! We'll see if Georgia gets around to drawing any up. Was there any specific rune/sword change you're particularly wanting? Glad you appreciated this past pet/mount sale! We'll see if your requests make it into the next sale, or in the un-owned pets store of the Creature Collector mini-event.

Most of the value in the Alchrafter Pack is the alchemy powders and bush bucks, with the ranch and custom items as cosmetic/decoration. Was there something you'd like the lantern to do?

We consider the Explorer's League quest chain largely a Bushwhackia spanning scavenger hunt-like assortment of quests. Part 7 is overdue!

But again, it's merely a suggestion. Sounds like a fantastic quest hub idea for the jungle region! I'll note it down to consider. The Dino Dig mini-event has some of these features in the meantime.
