The Goopper Grotto!

08 Jul, 2024

Published by: The Santae Team

The Secrets of the Goopper Grotto Unveiled!

We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to your unwavering dedication and contributions to Skylar’s research into the Gooppers has reached a triumphant conclusion. Our collective efforts have led to a profound discovery: the Goopper Grotto, a place of immense mystery and wonder.

Skylar’s research has confirmed the existence of the Goopper Grotto, a hidden sanctuary teeming with Gooppers of various shapes, sizes, and colors. This mysterious location is not just a home for these creatures but also a treasure trove of unique gathering materials.

We’ve discovered that the Grotto’s treasures are accessible at specific times of the day. During certain hours, adventurers can gather rare and exotic materials that are crucial for further research and potential new discoveries. However, at other times, the Grotto fills with Gooppers in their unique forms and evolutions, each more fascinating than the last. A curious thing seems to happen when you bring a Goopper that is attached to a Pet here at certain times of the day along with evolution materials.

Goopper + Floating Pinnacle Runes = ?

Skylar and the research team pose some intriguing questions: What might happen if we bring a Goopper, while attached to a Pet, along with these curious evolution materials to the Grotto at the right time? Could this lead to new evolutions or transformations we haven’t yet imagined?

Goopper + Heartwoods Acorn Rune = ?

While we’ve made significant strides in our understanding, the Goopper Grotto still holds many secrets. As we continue to explore, we’re excited to unlock the secrets of future Goopper evolutions that await discovery. These evolutions, possibly could be tied to specific locations and times, promise to expand our knowledge of the mysterious Goopper.

Goopper + Peaks Crystal Rune = ?

Stay tuned for future updates as we discover more information about these evolutions and the remarkable changes they may bring. The journey doesn’t end here—it’s only just beginning!

Uncovering the Mysterious Grotto

Community Event: Gooppers Galore Update!

Skylar is thrilled to announce a monumental breakthrough in our journey to unlock the secrets and origins of the Gooppers. Thanks to the tireless efforts and contributions of our incredible community, Skylar has reached 50% of their research goal! Your dedication has helped Skylar unlock a remarkable discovery--the mysterious grotto, which is teeming with variations of Gooppers never before seen.

Skylar's research, combined with the unique gathering items brought by our adventurers has led to the location of a hidden grotto deep within the heartwoods. This secluded sanctuary is unlike anything we've encountered before. Within its depths, various types of Gooppers are seen throughout the grotto. This discovery marks a significant milestone in our quest to understand these elusive creatures.

Peaks Goopper Heartwoods Goopper Pinnacles Goopper

The grotto seems to be some sort of Sanctuary to the Gooppers, many of which have never been documented, each with unique behaviors and characteristics, providing invaluable insights into the Gooppers' world. Skylar and the research team are cataloging each type in order to unlock the secrets they hold.

Reaching 50% of our research goal is an incredible achievement, but our journey is far from over. Continue to bring Skylar more gathering items as they will bring us one step closer to understanding the origins of the Goopper.

Community Event: Gooppers Galore!

Skylar Needs Your Help with Research!

Phoehen Iricampus

Vespera and the adventurers journeyed through the Harmonic Heartwoods and with the help of River, Dew and Henrietta, the team discovered the Ancient Grove! Vespera found the ancient oak trees that seemed to reach even higher than they were described in the tales told by the elders.

Goopper Celestial Toadstools

Do these peculiar mushrooms that are appearing in each gathering location have something to do with the Goopper minimals that are also appearing?

Skylar Fieldstone, our resident Field Expert and Researcher, has been tirelessly studying the mysterious origin of the Gooppers. After analyzing the Celestial Toadstools found in every gathering location, Skylar believes these gathering items could hold the key to locating the source of the Gooppers. A breakthrough in their research could lead us to uncover the origin of these mysterious creatures!

Floating Pinnacle Runes Heartwoods Acorn Rune Peaks Crystal Rune

Skyler's hypothesis is simple yet profound: the Gooppers leave behind traces wherever they go. By studying these traces left by the Gooppers, a pattern has emerged. If followed, the pattern should lead directly to the source of the Gooppers. The gathering items scattered through the lands could hold more information than previously thought, and could be the key to unlocking the Gooppers origins and secrets!

Skylar is calling upon all adventurers to assist in a critical mission and is asking that each adventurer gather items from each of the gathering locations. Skylar is particularly interested in the items from each gathering location that is appearing alongside the Gooppers. Bring these items to Skylar to aid in their research -- your contributions could be the key to solving one of the greatest current mysteries of Santae!

Community Event: Gathering Gooppers and Toadstools!

Head over to the Gathering Bounty quest and collect the items that Skylar Fieldstone requests. The number of items that you provide them with will advance their research. Together, we can uncover the origin of the Gooppers and any secrets they may hold!

As a thank you, Skylar will award a Gooppers Galore Trophy to every adventurer that assists with this research project when it is all over!

Grab your adventuring crew, get to gathering, and finish some quests to help unlock the secrets and origins of the Goopper along with other Santae adventurers!

The Ancient Grove (Thank You Chests Sent)

05 Jul, 2024

Published by: The Santae Team

Adventure Continues…

Vespera and her crew made their way through the thick brush that covered the forest floor slowly, taking care not to harm or disturb the vegetation and wild life. The details contained within the stories that the elders told changed depending on the person telling it, but one detail remained the same: a winding river made its way through the center of the grove. Some tellings also mentioned a particular mystical rune that allegedly grew throughout the grove...

This was the third river that they followed -- the others had led them to beautiful landscapes of lush greenery, but the signature tall oaks of the ancient grove were notably absent. Vespera could feel the crew becoming more and more discouraged with every passing hour but she had a strong feeling about this particular river.

In the distance, Vespera spotted a tall, dark formation. As they progressed, it became apparent that it was a wall of boulders and rocks. The groans and complaints grew as they approached the makeshift wall -- it was over fifteen feet tall and far too unstable to climb. The river, which roared with life up the path from where they came, trickled to a tiny stream under the pile of rock. Another dead end.

"Let's set up our temporary camp here. We will rest for a few hours before we make our way back. Get some food and water to refresh yourselves before the return journey," Vespera instructed. The crew complied and Vespera made herself busy helping out around camp and organizing the distribution of food.

A short while later, River and Dew appeared in a fury of bright feathers. They chirped and chattered incessantly and dropped an object at Vespera's feet.

Vespera looked down at the mushroom and paused, remembering the stories about the appearance of mushrooms at all the locations where the Gooppers have been appearing. "Take me to where you found these," she instructed River and Dew. The two happily obliged and took to the skies, diving and swooping with one another playfully.

The two led Vespera to a section of the wall about ten minutes from camp. As she stood studying the rock, she heard a chirp and saw a flash of flame about waist high -- Henrietta! The Phoehen hopped from behind a rock that had originally seemed flush to the rest of the wall. Vespera examined the stone and found a slit barely wide enough for her to slide through. She wiggled her way through and found that it opened to a tiny cavern just a few feet wide. In it, Vespera spotted a few more of the curious mushrooms that River and Dew had originally brought to her.

Henrietta chirped at Vespera again and pointed her to another slit in the rock on the other side of the cavern. Vespera fit herself into it and managed to wiggle a couple of feet. Suddenly, she found herself back in the open, and -- yes! Vespera found herself surrounded by ancient oaks that reached high into the sky. The canopy rang with life and the forest floor was littered with recognizable gathering items. The river remained to her left and came to life once again from under the rock, winding itself through the grove once again.

Vespera smiled at her companions, "You found it! Thank you so much for leading me to this place, we would have left without ever finding it if not for your adventurous spirit. Lets go back and get the rest of the crew."

The Ancient Grove is now available as a Gathering location! For your convenience, there is a list of gathering locations and you can find helpful information by reading the Gathering FAQ.
