Could you please elaborate on the pet attribute "bonus dust with runes"? I have a pet with that attribute and not sure that I am using the pet correctly to take advantage of the attribute. Thank you

I absolutely LOVE the idea of an Axolotl! But I'd LOVE to see two different ones, a black one and a "pink" one!

Request from Banemax: If someone will be on twitch, please, tell Nick that it would be nice if we could have pet like little cat sleeping in the basket, like on Humane Society Charity Drive. I recently lost my cat, after 19 beautiful life. And, when I saw cat sleeping in basket and purring, it was very emotional for me. Thank you.

A new snake species was discovered in the Amazon. The Northern Green Anaconda reaches 20 to 24 feet. I think it would a good choice for a mount.

Just a little follow up about the VIP Quest Whacks Buff that Russel Denton mentioned below this post.

The toggle On/Off button is not operational when purchased with a VIP voucher.
Several months ago you said, "Fixing that is on my todo list."

Can you include this fix in your next Quality of Life, please?
Thank you!

Perhaps, if not a pet cat sleeping in a basket, maybe a ranch item; kind of like the sleeping bear, Bubble Buddies Plushies, and a dog pet. They're stationary and can be placed wherever without worry of them moving from their locations.

Condolences to you, Banemax, on losing your precious kitty. After losing so many cats of my own, I do know the pain of losing a pet. But, remember, as long as we have beautiful memories of them in our hearts, they're never really gone as they live on through those memories.

1- i started using Quest whacks in VIP, so the way it works is you can quick whack/use mana on spawn quest items
yet i noticed when i use friend whacks and one of my friends use a mana whack or quick it doe snot work on the quest items that pop up
was this intentional or a bug, if it was intentional, can you make it so it also works with friend whacks perhaps

2- the recent James bond mini event, was good except for the prize...a tuxedo to put on ranch, which is not much, so below is some idea's for you to
consider if you run it again

- a Grenade Pen - for a sword ( has a pen shape but a bulbous middle like a grenade) - referencing Goldeneye

- a chainsaw yoyo sword - referencing Octopussy

- a mini sized Atlantis (Stromberg's Lair) from the Spy Who Loved Me

- a mini sized lotus espirit from the spy who loved me

- a Baron Samedi head mask

- a Jaws Head Mask with metal teeth showing

- a Nick Nack pet


3- Halloween

i was going through my halloween stuff and noticed, you devs have missed a golden opportunity...tsk tsk

with all he gnomes you have been doing you forgot do do some for halloween which would go good, they are:

- a devil gnome

- a frankenstein gnome
- a Witch gnome


make this happen please


also an idea from player Bartimaeus

there is two ghosts ranch items called Ghost peep 1 and 2, they change face when rotated, can we have them in the store please,

speaking of halloween...some minds came into my brain for ideas

some vampiritic stuff like a vampire cloak,vampire eyes(dark eyes with red eyeballs) and something for vampires to wear,dracula for the boys and some gothic look for the girls

more bat pets! some colored one aswell wont hurt

also more halloween stuffy like mad scienetist,some old knightly stuff and some skeleton pet variants like skeleton in armor,mage skeleton,ect

a new horse mount from headless horseman have a look at this movie and lore if you didnt know!

though i like halloween but not huge fan of it,i have figured out these that may or not,interest something.

regarding about the axolotl idea:i didnt know there was a black one too but looking forward for both pink and black variants,i really like these cute little lizards :)

Sure! So the bonus description reads, "Chance to win bonus dust with runes". This means that every time you find a Rune in bushes, you've got X% chance to win Rune Powders with it. I hope that helps!

An axolotl pet is a great idea! They're very cute and interesting. We've already got it on our suggestions list, and might include it in a future generation of basic pets.

That's so sad to hear about Banemax's cat. We can look at adding a ranch item that's a cat sleeping in a basket. That would be very cute.

Yes, it's on my short-list for the next Quality of Life update, which I'll start tackling once the prismatic quest hub is out.

1) Yes, I'll look at including the Friend Whacks into Quest Whacks VIP boon for the next Quality of Life update.

2) Thanks for the ideas! I'll note them down should we run a sequel to the James Bond limited-time quest next year.

3) Those are great gnome ideas! We have some toys in those styles, but I agree we should have gnomes of them. Noted!

4/Bartimaeus) For this year's Halloween event update, I'll double check the Ghostly Peep ranch items are in the prior items Halloween store and ranch store after you unlock them.

We do have a cool vampire cape that includes a cowl. Some eyes would be good additions though!

We have a handful of bats already, but we'll see if Georgia can come up with some more.

I'll take a look at the new movie horse! We do have a Headless Horseman mount already, and a black horse with/without armor.

Thanks for the suggestions!
