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.

I'd like to be able to put up garlands and other decorations for Christmas. Decorating the Commons has been suggested before! Unfortunately it would be a fair bit of work to allow players to decorate the Commons. Some limited decorations might be possible, like a big tree, but I'll have to see what we have time for.

That being said, I'll consider reviewing the drop rates for the satchels. 2) I think I can get how it got its name. The Christmas Spider looks like a scary ornament! 3) You can upgrade your Mount Feeds in a roundabout way by selling the Small Feeds for Mount Bucks and buying Large Feeds with them. I understand there could be an easier method, but I'm not certain it's worth the dev time given there's already a way to do it that I don't think is too much effort.

The Rare Flowers were originally balanced to be more challenging for veteran players, as there were easier butterfly options for lower level players. However, as we've ran this limited-time quest enough times that folks can feasibly get every butterfly, I'll consider rebalancing the Rare Flowers to allow lower level players to attain the later rare butterflies.

The blogs only mention how many there are to collect, not which ones. You can find them in the PAGAS Pet Progress under "Misc" though.
