August Events and News
August is going to be a fairly quiet month. We have no large events scheduled for the month as we start preparing over the next two months for everything happening in October.

Progress on Adventure is going well. We are currently beefing up the Battledome PVP with a host of new weapons (you may have seen them added to the Item Database). We'd like to make Adventure's Battledome one of the biggest, most-used features on the site.

Scavenger Hunt Results
Because this is what you want to see first; I know it.

Scavenger Hunt has been fully graded. I am opening up a thread called Scavenger Hunt Fixes for 24 hours, wherein you can post any tasks that seem to have not been graded.

Those are the only changes that will be permitted to the grading. Tasks will not be re-graded. If you were awarded more points than acceptable, it is in your favor.

Scavenger Hunt results will be released on August 8, 2011 at midnight.

Cash Shop Pets
Click on any of the pets to go to the Cash Shop! They cost 3 GP for a common or 5 GP for an uncommon.

BP Shop Pets
Click on any of the pets to go to the BP Shop! They cost 200,000 BP for a common or 500,000 BP for an uncommon.

Monthly Items and Lunaris


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



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



This month's Premium Item is the Scroll of Transportation, w hich unlocks a feature in your account.

Monthly Contests
The BP Shop and GP Shop contests offer your choice of SP, GP, or USD, depending on your preference.

ASeptember Monthly Pets - GP Shop Prize: 3 SP, or 15 GP, or $15 USD, and a copy of the pet

Hybrid Breeding Season
If you are going to Gencon, you might see me there! I will be lurking around the MTG tournament area. I will bring along Aywas plushes, NPC charms (just got those in the mail), pet charms, and Breeding Coin charms along with me.

Send an e-mail to aywas.support@gmail.com during the convention if you'd like to meet up.

Apple Picking


August is the month to pick apples. Go see if you can pick any from the Phoenix Tree. They're flaming, but at least they're apples.

Free Monthly Customs
We're giving away nine customs designed during the previous month under the theme NATURE.

To play the free custom game, please include the phrase "CUSTOM #__" in your news comment. For example, if you want Custom 1, please comment "CUSTOM #1."

You may only request one custom, may only request once, and only one person will randomly win each custom.



1..............................2..............................3



4..............................5..............................6



7..............................8..............................9

The random drawing will occur on August 3, giving you a little over 24 hours to make your choice. :)

Now that we're at the end, please remember to contact Visark (#185) for your artist's payment if you won any of the August contests.
