It's Aywas Second Birthday!!

We've been open for two years, woohoooo!

As always, we're going to be having a lot of Halloween celebrations! Keep collecting those orbs because there are a lot of really neat features for you to unlock!

Also, Adventure and Battledome are done, as soon as you unlock the Haunted House you'll be able to experience the terror in ADVENTURE! Not to mention you'll be able to mosey around the new Battledome... spectacular!

Yasu will have more on that for you later!

Monthly Items and Lunaris


October's birthstone is the Opal, which means that an Opal Lunaris has climbed from the depths to join those whose birthdays lay in October. :)



The Essence of October 2011 is the monthly potion, and is in the Cash Shop for 2 GP.



This month's premium item is Amorphous Talisman.

Breeding Season
October starts a new quarter, which means... breeding season!! For those of you who don't know, Breeding Season is the first week of January, April, June, and October, in which new hybrids are released and Breeding Coins are made available.



The new hybrids are the Inari (Oske x Phanto) and the Kodama (Kaba x Kernal). Both of these colorations are in the SP Shop.



Breeding Coins have hit the cash shop, and the Hybrid Genus Voucher has made a comeback with the new hybrid combinations.



The Breeding Talisman is in the Cash Shop for this week only, containing three Breeding Coins priced at 25% off their normal price (168 total).

Breeding Season ends October 9, 2011 at midnight.

But that's not all the talismans... keep reading...

Custom Talisman Madness
Custom item Talismans have hit the BP Shop and Cash Shop! What's a talisman? A talisman, if you haven't noticed, is an item that has many uses (charges) and most often gives out multiples of an item.

The coolest part is, the three items contained in these new Talismans are 25% off their shop price, so buying in bulk is best!



The orb talismans are in the BP Shop!



The crystal talismans are in the Cash Shop!

Talisman Madness ends October 9, 2011 at midnight.

Metal Custom Event
Looks like some people couldn't take a few and leave the rest for others... 1600 customs vanished in a few hours? Man, you guys...

The Metal Custom Event page has been disable until October 6, 2011 in which a small batch of remaining pets (about 300) will be released into the feature at 5:00 PM Aywas Time. Be there, it's your last chance.
