August monthly treasures are here and they are out of this world!

Deep Space Backdrop I and II



Constellation Pack I and II



Visiting Spacecraft Metallic and Green





Constellation packs contain 3 NPC constellations each! These items are double-layered so you can use them as just stars, or with the NPC image superimposed.

Note that August treasures ARE eligible for the turn-in event, which will begin later in the month and run into September.

If you are super lucky, you may randomly find a Special Bone Treat when opening your packs, which will be useful when the monthly unique khimbit event begins ;)



A couple of other pieces of news - as you may have noticed, Karos was able to overcome the lag issues related to deco, so we are now able to display/search the "all items" category in the deco items chest again, yay!

Also, you can now view/use the new rainbow enigmas in the khimera demo. Enjoy!

That's right, rainbow enigma has now returned to the wishing well! NOW WITH EVEN MORE RAINBOWY GOODNESS!

New enigmas have been added, bringing us to a total of 295 enigma patterns! If you have access, all khimeras with the rainbow marking (the actual rainbow marking, not a marking in a rainbow colour) can be brought to the well for a chance to change their rainbow marking a random enigma! You can use the rainbow enigma guide to see thumbnails of all enigma patterns (the newest patterns have not been added yet, but will be available soon!). New Enigmas are available! Also, clicking on any individual thumbnail will search for khimeras with that enigma opacity, for your previewing pleasure!

As a reminder, Kai and Tai quests are the gateway to access to the Wishing Well. Once you have reached the gold trophy level, you may randomly receive access to the wishing well. The more rarity points you accumulate after gold level, the greater your chances of being granted well-access. You may then visit at any time, however, Wisu the Draak will not allow you to approach the well unless you bring a wishing penny. Wishing pennies are also randomly available from Kai and Tai once you have gained access to the well!

The Enigma Essence and Mini Enigma Essence have also returned to the cash shop!



And a new faenigma sprite may follow you home from the well!

First off, as you may have noticed, Kai and Tai are now serving up retro quests! You can receive any previous quest item that was released at least two years ago when completing a quest!

Secondly, you may have noticed some changes to khimera deco. These changes were necessary to help deal with site lag. There are now simply so many items in deco chests that when the site tries to load up every item in a chest, it is taking up massive server resources. Therefore, we have changed the system so that now, only a single category of deco items loads initially, and thereafter only the categories that a user specifically requests will load.

Unfortunately this does mean that you can no longer search your entire chest for an item, only the category you have loaded :c We realize that this is an inconvenience, but we sometimes need to make compromises in order to have a deco system that allows for unlimited items and unlimited layers to be used. If we can think of a site-friendly way to incorporate a "search all" feature at a later date, we'll bring it back.

Thirdly, regarding the annual Turn-in event: Turn-in will be postponed this year until we have dealt with as much of the lag as we possibly can. Karos is optimizing scripts to make things run more smoothly, but we're not there yet. Therefore turn-in will start some time in August, but not right at the beginning, or else will start at the beginning of September.

During turn-in month this year, you will be able to turn in your monthly treasure pack items, including khimbits that came from monthly treasure packs. We will have an additional month, in February, for turning in foraged and unique khimbits. This is to spread the activities out a bit so we do not have massive site-wide burn-out of users and staff as we have had in previous years ^^;
