A New Look And Returning Shop Stock For Vespera

Vespera hoped she wasn't running late for the delivery she was expecting.

Hastening her preparations, she affixed shining bracers around each wrist, then reached up to tie back her mane of dark hair with an orange sash. Fully equipped, she peeked outside the window of her shop to see some of her crewmates scurrying back and forth with crates of goods in tow. Good! She was right on time. 


"Excellent," Vespera exclaimed, stepping outside to accept the delivery of new stock for the Shop. She grinned down at the heavy crates. "They've finally arrived..."

The crates were full of some of the rarest collections of goods that Vespera dealt with: Curated chests of curiosities from all across Santae! 

"Ripple, can you help me open these?" Vespera called to her Quenaris friend. Ripple roused from its half-dozing nap nearby and stretched, yawning widely. The mighty Quenaris was able to easily pry the lids off of the crates with its claws. 

"Thank you!" Vespera said, before eagerly gazing down at her new stock. The crates were packed in rows: Within, four different collections of mystical goods were waiting to be placed onto the shelves of the Cash Shop and Dust Shop

Wildbound Trove

One set of rough-hewn wooden chests were inscribed with strange symbols and padded with thick gray furs: The Wildbound Trove. The goods within were gathered from deep within Santae's wildest lands, where strange magic leads unwary travelers astray and wild beasts roam. By opening this chest, Adventurers can equip themselves with a rugged set of clothing and armor fit for a hunter, befriend a loyal Minimal companion, discover a vivid forest hideaway background to bring the wilderness to life, and more.

Ancient Elderwood Chest

Even Vespera did not know the provenance of every item within the Ancient Elderwood Chest. The collection inside each masterfully crafted trove was steeped in the power and mystery of the Elderwood. Adventurers eager to get in touch with the mysticism of the forest can open the Ancient Elderwood Chest to find bone-carved and feathered adornments, a mischievous Mysticrow Minimal, and more.

Sea Sovereigns Conch

The next set of containers shimmered with the pearly iridescence of light sparkling off the surface of the sea. The Sea Sovereign's Conch was filled to the brim with elegant clothing and equipment that captures the ocean's majesty, as well as a rare book containing ancient maritime lore from Santarian seafarers of the past -- and more. The Conch is the perfect bounty for any Adventurer inspired by the ocean deeps.

Sunlords Chest

The final containers were made of burnished gold, shining almost as bright as sunlight and hot to the touch. The Sunlord's Chest was specially designed to contain the fiery power of the items within -- all enchanted with the luminous essence of the Sunlord. Adventurers bold enough to harness the celestial power of the sun can unlock this golden trove to discover fiery clothing and equipment within.


A Minimal Stampede!


As Spring sweeps Santae and new life returns to the land everywhere, an abundance of Minimals has begun to appear!

New creatures have been discovered almost everywhere. Merick has wrangled some new Minimals in his Menagerie, and Silvershade has discovered new trails to follow at the Ranch.

Santae's lakes and streams are brimming with new Minimals that can be discovered via Fishing. Intrepid Miners may find unfamiliar beasts in the depths of Santae's caves. And other wild Gathering places, too, have revealed new Minimal inhabitants!

The abundance is here to stay, so enjoy exploring every corner of Santae to discover these new Minimals at your own pace!
