Woweeee!!! Happy Guide and Seek anniversary month everyone! We got announcements galore!!!

We will be having several sales this month.

August 13-14, 2022 – Legendary Critter Auction (date subject to change, as orva will be away on the 15th)

August 28, 2022 – Anniversary Batch!! (on base, flatsale raffle. Will feature legendaries)

August 30-31, 2022 – Our first ever legendary MYO sale (includes Guide. Seeker, Cervabloom and Baraboa)

This month is our anniversary month!!! Our wonderful fantastic mod hedwig has begun to organize another yearbook for the year! This is such a lovely tradition that I want to push and continue. Unlike last year, the yearbook this year will be addressed to the community, and focus on all the fun memories we've made together!

To help her out, ALL MONTHLY PROMPTS will be directly related to filling out the yearbook form.

❥ YEARBOOK FORM (Please fill out before August 15)

❥ Last year's Yearbook as a sample of how it's going to look!

You can use these prompts to submit your yearbook entries and gain additional rewards. However, you do not need to create anything new to fill out the above form, nor do you have to fill out every section. The prompts serve as additional incentive!

Our main announcement this month will be a Legendary update and slight revamp! Please read below for a list of changes and what’s to come.

❥ August 13: There will be a new legendary map drop, as our original custom temple concept is too difficult to maintain well. However, a temple design would still be needed on the legendary ref sheet moving forward (rule only applies to legendaries moving forward and not past legendaries, however if you would like to edit your legendary ref sheet with a temple - either new or old, please submit a design update and you will be granted a rock dumpling as a gift)

❥ August 13: Legendary Cervabloom and Baraboa will be released! Stay tuned for that!

❥ Seasonal traits on legendaries can be achieved if a seasonal potion/tonic is applied. However if you want all their forms to be seasonal, you have to apply a critter potion to each.

Something’s going on near the Forgotten Isle, perhaps the NPCs have something to say about it? Maybe you will find some neat, golden treasure too! 

To "talk" to the NPCs, go to their character page and click on description. Their dialogue will be hidden under toggle spoiler. Have fun!!!

This change has already been implemented for a while, but it has yet to be fully reflected on the ref sheet yet. It has now.

❥ There will be no more baraboa “experience” leveling system, that part of the lore is outdated and weird. Baraboa now age normally, and have a lifespan similar to cervabloom (~600 years old). You can buy trinkets o advance a babyboa to an adult! 

❥ Babyboas can now be Guardian or Cursed. Baraboa can also be both guardian and cursed. 

❥ Users can create baby Baraboa as long as they own a guide or seeker. However designs still need to be approved by orva via dms before being added to the masterlist.

Before we end this monthly update...

What’s this? Just the wind? It seems the wind has been picking up lately... a hint of what’s to come... September might just be one feathery month, so don’t get swept away!

Happy July everyone! Take this month to relax in the cool lagoons of the Serpent's Bluff! It sure is a beautiful and warm month.

There will be no MYO sales or planned adopt sales this month,

(It is orvaslab's personal month off to catch up on stuff she owes Don Rocko! Yes, even orvaslab is indebted to the golden slab... I wonder which slab isn't).

However, there may be some surprise design sales coming in from GAs throughout the month, so keep your eyes and fingerpads peeled for such announcements, mainly via our discord!

Our prompts have updated! Please head over to the prompts page to view them all! This month, the prompt will be heavily writing focused, as we know a lot of you have your drawing hands full with art fight! There will be a variety of different prompts you can choose to do too, and we hope you have tons of fun with them!

The summer box hunt will come back soon! There are no new monthly pets this month, as we got the new event pets <3

The main prompt will be the July 2022 Monthly prompt.

This month, all guide and seek art produced, regardless of whether they depict a bonded pair or not, can be submitted for bond essence (at a rate of 1 character per essence). Art that others draw of your characters can be submitted, as this is the point of art fight <3

Please keep in mind:  

❥ Bond essence can only be given if the characters depicted are yours. Who drew them does not matter.  

❥ Group pictures with characters owned by multiple people can be submitted multiple times so everyone gets the bond essences.

❥ For this month only, the bond essence submission's default prize will be 1 bond essence (instead of the usual 2). You CAN choose to edit addons for more bond essence when you submit.

Next month marks our second anniversary month (wow, how time flies QAQ) There will most definitely be something awesome in the works!

Hello guys! Welcome to the mid-summer update! We hope you've been having a fantastic start of summer. 

As you know, this summer the Serpent's Bluff is holding a treasure hunt event! Before you head off, why not talk to some of our NPCs to see what they know about the event? It may help you prepare, and who know? Maybe you'll even find some hidden goodies!

We have some exciting new additions to our item list! 

Thanks to crypticcockroach and asurasleeping for designing these cuties for last month's prompt. I hope everyone enjoys them as much as we do!

Last but definitely not least, thanks to a few absolutely lovely artists who agreed to help, we are holding a Guide and Seek Pride Gacha! The date is still to be determined, but it'll happen mid June. It will be a FCFS gacha, and there will be a 48 hour preview to make up for the lack exact date. The exact time the batch will open will be announced when the preview is posted, so please stay tuned!
In light of current events, we will be donating to the Rainbow Railroad!

Hello everyone! After some discussion, we have decided it is time to overhaul some earlier dumplings so their effects are more in line with the effects of others. Below are the current list of dumplings that have received a “buff”. Feel free to go back and update a design if you’ve used a dumpling listed!

The bolded sections mark the changes!

1. Vine dumpling

Feeding this dumpling to a Guide will give it vine-like growths on their leafy parts. It is a flowering trait! Feeding it to a Seeker will give it vine-like growths on the exterior of their bodies. The vines have the ability to grow longer and move. Guides and Seekers will be able to summon vines too as a special ability.

2. Bunny Dumpling

Feeding this dumpling to your Guide or Seeker will grant it fuzzy, real rabbit ears as well as a little rabbit tail.

3. Suspicious Red Dumpling

Feeding this dumpling to a Seeker will turn the water inside it into a suspicious red substance! The Seeker will also be able to summon a suspicious red liquid around them at will. Optionally, the Seeker’s exterior material can be made of Pyura chilensis, with an outer layer of coral but an inner layer of soft velvet red material. Feeding it to a Guide will have no effect.

4. Anemone Dumpling

If fed to a guide or seeker, grants them sea anemone tentacle hair! They can also move on their own and feel around. The tentacles can also sting if needed.

5. Scarred Dumpling

Feeding this dumpling to a Guide will give them multiple scars all over the body and wings. The scars can permeate the skin and expose the glowing interior of the guide. However, scars have to look natural and not in any specific pattern. Feeding this to a Seeker will have no effect.

6. Octobaby Dumpling

Feeding it to a Guide or Seeker will grant them tentacle-like growths on any part of their body except for their wings/tail/crown for guide, and face and hands for Seeker.

7. Ghost Dumpling

Feeding this dumpling to a Guide will cause their hair to glow and "float" in a ghost-like manner, as well as turning their wings semi-transparent. Feeding this to a Seeker will make their entire body, interior included, semi transparent.

Woooooo! It's summertime, baby! Time to ditch all your mortal belongings and head over the the Serpent's Bluff for another SLABSLAUGHTER FESTIVAL!

Eh... huh?

SLABSLAUGHTER IS CANCELLED? NOOOOOO

Please stay tuned for more info...

First of all, an exciting announcement! All natural Guide and Seeker MYOs will ne available for purchase permanently. You can go visit the sales post anytime you wish to purchase one!

JUNE ADOPT SCHEDULE:

June 18-19 - Pobble Batch! (You will be using pobble tickets to purchase them)

June 29-30, 2022 - Tidetouched MYO Sale

There might be more... surprises coming your way this month though, so do keep an eye out!

Our prompts have updated! Please head over to the prompts page to view them all! In a few days, we will have a new seasonal box! The summer box! With new frames and rewards, so stay tuned.

This month will not feature a pobble prompt, but a pobble garden ticket will be guaranteed upon completion of the monthly prompt, as well as a pebble.

The main prompt will be the June 2022 Monthly prompt.

Well, your pirating dreams may one day still come true! It seems to curb the disappointment of a cancelled Slabslaughter (for ethical reasons, we are looking into it), ther residents of the Tidetouched Lagoon have organized a Treasure Hunt for new visitors!

Event details will be up later in the month, but it will be a discord team oriented event, which has puzzles and features that will incorporate both DA and the site. Mlab here will be our guide!

June 23, 2022 - Discord servers open, event narrative begins

June 25 -29, 2022 - Main event

June 29-30, 2022 - Event shop opens

Tidetouched in May!?

For several reasons, we have decided that May would be a better month to feature the Tidetouched, because MERMAY! How this did not occur to orva before is a grand mystery and a missed opportunity.

This month, our adopt sale will be all Tidetouched. However, our Tidetouched MYO sale will still be in June for the people who have planned/saved for June, just so everything is fair. All future Tidetouched sales (post 2022) will be in May and not June.

There will be a FTO MYO sale this month, from May 7-8. A large Tidetouched MYO sale will occur in June instead of May, for this year only.

MAY ADOPT SCHEDULE:

Theme: Mermay the force be with you! (Orva will NEVER stop with these May puns!!!)

May 22, 2022 - Flatsale Raffle (All Tidetouched designs with a mutated dumpling twist)

Adopt sales will take place primarily over on deviantart, but will be crossposted on the site too just so we can get a hang of using the site for sales! I know it didn’t happen last month but we will try for this month!

Our prompts have updated! Please head over to the prompts page to view them all! Furthermore, the spring box scavenger hunt is up and available again, with updated items to get.

The main prompt will be the May 2022 Monthly prompt.

(The box above is not clickable)

The Spring box, despite being the same item, has some of its contents updated! Be on the lookout across the site for 3 spring boxes this month.

There will be a Tidetouched event, to be held in June. It will be a discord event, similar to the Torrentverse, where users will have to work together to help out a chosen Guardian... more details to come! Every future Tidetouched event after 2022 will be held in May.

We have also gathered a good amount of questions for Toro and the family, and will be releasing a “meet the family” page on May 15, so keep an eye out for that! The page will contain a Q&A section and a lot of background info and lore about each individual, and maybe even a very cute little surprise for those of you keen enough to remember the foreshadowing....

April is here!!! This is the first monthly update on our site, so I am super duper excited!

There will be no MYO sale this month!

APRIL ADOPT SCHEDULE:

Theme: Overgrown!

The Overgrown dumpling is back! Well, back as in in the stomach of these rad Guide and Seekers' stomachs back!

April 24, 2022 - Flatsale Raffle!

Adopt sales will take place primarily over on deviantart, but will be crossposted on the site too just so we can get a hang of using the site for sales!

We have a new monthly prompt(s) system! Every month, there will be a number of new prompts with various reward possibilites. You can see them all in the prompts page! Since there are a lot, we recommend you sort by category or by newest.

With this new system, we want to remind users who may feel overwhelmed that none of these event prompts are mandatory! They are there for possible character development and fun. A lot of them will be cycled every few months, and you will always be able to receive the same rewards in the future. More than anything, we want you to view these prompts as a more casual thing, something to do for fun rather than a chore!

The main prompt will be the April 2022 Monthly prompt.

Monthly prompt rewards have been updated. Rather than just receiving a single leaf or pebble, you now have a chance to receive a number of extra items, some as rare as MYO tickets!

(The two boxes above are not clickable)

Spring is here! Keep a look out on new gift boxes and items! They will be scattered around the site. The April Fools box hunt will be available until April 3rd, whereas the spring box hunt will be available until the end of April.

We also are very aware that easter is just around the corner, so keep your eye out for some more fun events!

Pets can now be sellable! If you get too many, or a double you don't want, you can now resell them.

Plants can be resold for 1 leaf, Rocks can be resold for 1 pebble, and slabsters can be absorbed for 1 bond essence.

Some items, especially rarer ones, can be resold for synthetic potions!

Ahhh Happy easter holidays everyone (and just a long weekend to those who don't celebrate). As per custom, we are holding several hunt events.

We have 2 hunts going on!

❥ DEVIANTART EGG HUNT: Orva has hidden 6 easter eggs in Guide and Seek related deviations. If you fidn them all, screenshot and submit under Easter Egg Hunt prompt (sort by newest to find it faster).

❥ EASTER BOX HUNT: There are 5 hidden easter boxes on the site! Find and collect them all for gacha goodness <3 Some are hidden in tricky places, so be sure to check every nook and cranny! User characters will not be touched.

❥ ON April 17, we will be holding an overgrown Pobble and Pebbling raffle! Whether we hold it here, discord or deviantart is yet to be determined, but there will be an announcement on discord + time to enter! To enter, you must own at least 1 Easter Raffle ticket, obtainable via on site events. 

The evil Flabking has opened up a shop. They are demanding eggs. Maybe you can find some things you need there? Be careful not to get scammed!

The shop will only be open from now until April 19, 11:59pm PST! Get the items while you can!!

Welcome everyone, to the the new GnS website!

For the rest of the year, we will be opening limited time registrations every month or so until we feel it is at a good place to open permanently.

As the first group of people to register on the site, you will be acting like beta testers. Please do fill out a bug report if you find any issues, and we will get working on fixing them as soon as possible!

The bug report link can be found at the bottom of the page!

As we slowly move from deviantart to this site, there will be some minor changes to some GnS features!

❥ BLESSED TEMPLE: This is one of the biggest changes. The Blessed Temple is a place where users can use Bond Essence to purchase Cervabloom MYO tickets as well as Baraboa levelling trinkets. This will replace the Cervabloom Summoning Temple as well as the Baraboa levelling system. Baraboa can no longer be levelled the original way, as it became very difficult to manage. Instead you will need to purchase a Baraboa Trinket to turn a baby into an adult, and a Blessed or Cursed Trinket to give Baraboa the blessed or cursed effect. Babies can now be blessed or cursed without having to be an adult first.

❥ BOND ESSENCE: As stated above, Bond Essence is a new currency with multiple uses. They can be earned from completing permanent Bonding Prompt submissions, critter prompt submissions, and special/random events or mini events. You can access prompts in the Prompt page! Any new prompts will be announced in news! Bond essence will replace Bond levels. Don't worry though, all your old bond levels have been converted into Bond essence already. Bond essence can be held in both character and user inventories. Same with Baraboa levels, if you have previous levels already, it has been converted all into Bond essence, just check your character inventories for them!

❥ TAFF'S TAVERN AND PETS: Do you like collecting critters? How about cool plants and rocks? Guides and Seekers certainly do! On this site we have 3 categories of collectible "pets" - plants, rocks, and slabsters! New critters will be created regularly, and some can be bought in Taff's Tavern. Be aware that Taff's items always change, and stock is limited! Other ways to obtain pets will be through prompts and special events! You can transfer any pet you collect to a specific character of your choice, and even name them.

❥ ADOPT SALES AND EVENTS: Due to certain features on the site, special prompts and events will be easier to organize! Keep an eye out on the News page for anything new! If you miss a limited event or prompt, don't worry, as there will always be more opportunities. Bigger events will still be held on discord or DA! It will take a while to fully migrate from DA to the site, so for now adopt batches and MYO slots will still be sold on that platform.

A new site with a lot of links and words can be quite intimidating to learn and navigate, so feel free to take some time to check out everything! Here are a few places where we recommend you start:

ABOUT PAGE (Accessible from bottom of all site pages, contains links to all important pages)

SITE GUIDE (a quick tutorial on how to use some important features)

❥ PLEASE SUBMIT A CLAIM: For returning users! Please take a look at your inventory and fill out claims for all the items you have currently. At the end of the registration period, our mods will update everyone's inventory, whether you file a claim or not. However, it would help us greatly if you could do so!

Current Prompts (Make sure you take some time to complete them, as they do give unique rewards!)
