Vespera Stocks Up On Adventuring Gear

Vespera sat down and took a deep breath. Running the sanDust Shop alongside the Cash Shop was a big adjustment that was keeping her very busy. It was a lot of fun -- and very good for business! -- but it was tiring. Now that night had fallen, Vespera took a quiet moment to relax and watch the moon rise over the Shadow Veil Pass.

The cool light glinted over the neatly organized wares at the front of Vespera's stall: Neatly filed pet adoption papers, racks of exclusive clothing for Adventurers to wear, and the tidy enclosure where rare Minimals were fast asleep for the night. The front of the shop looked perfect, as always.

Vespera sighed. The front looked great, but she didn't even want to think about the Mess behind the scenes.

Tucked behind the stall was a towering pile of Adventuring Gear. She had meant to move most of it over to her ship to prepare for her own next adventure, but she had just been too busy recently. And now it was clear: There was just too much!

Vespera hummed thoughtfully. "I have an idea," she said. "I'm busy with the shop for now, but there are still so many Adventurers out there exploring every corner of Valaria and Aleriea. I think they can make better use of all this than I can right now!"

Working through the night, Vespera whistled for River and mustered some volunteers from her Crew. Together, the crew sorted the mixed-up adventuring gear into useful Packages. They created packets of fishing equipment and bundles of bags, baskets and pouches perfect for gathering useful items.

By morning, the work was done. A neatly organized new shelf in the sanDust Shop displayed rows of Backpacks stuffed with useful gear.

The sanDust Shop is now fully stocked with a brand-new type of item for Adventurers to buy: Fishing, Berry Picking, and Gathering bundles full of useful items!

Community Event Update: Eldrins' Reward

While Eldrin and Rose sat by the Abyssal Lake shore, trying to decide what else they could do to entice the Abyssal Monster to come back, he had an idea -

"Rose..", Eldrin looked down at the Artifact he clutched in his hands "- this is my most Prized possession... and I would like to offer it up as a reward to all Adventurers for their part in helping discover the mysteries of the Abyssal Monsters disappearance."

He handed the Artifact over to Rose and she studied it intently. "Wh.. what is this?" she asked Curiously.

Eldrin went on to explain to Rose that he was fascinated by the interesting Sun and Moon cycles of Santae.
For many years he found it Mesmerizing to watch a mysterious Obelisk (based in Azure Abyss) glow at Dusk and Dawn just as the Sun and Moon hit it at Twilight. It only lasted a Few minutes however and he always made sure to go there and witness it, to see if anything Magical happens.

Other than the Obelisk gaining a magical aura at those certain Times of day, he had never found any other related discoveries at this mysterious tower...

As part of his studies, he had crafted the Artifact himself - he always intended to give it to any Santarian who helped him solve the Obelisk mystery, but at this point he figured that the Obelisk was nothing more than an aesthetic feature the Ancients erected.

After hearing Eldrins story, Rose thought for a few minutes before responding - "Well, the last time we heard from Silvershade, they were sending us a Minimal that could help us to explore the depths of Abyssal Lake..", Rose looked down at her copy of "A History of Shimmer Dust" - a dissertation she wrote as part of her Studies that had never been published - ".. and I suspect that once we find the Abyssal Monster, we might find more than we expected..". 
She trailed off, she didn't want to over-promise, in case she was wrong, but she had a strong feeling that the Obelisk may be linked to the recently discovered Twilight Shimmer Dust that had starting appearing about Santae.

"Keep going Adventurers! We're about to uncover a whole new way to explore Santae!"
