After the barreness of Metropolis Quarry, Aibrean was quite glad to be near the forest again. Her tower afforded her a lovely view of not only Mistica Kingdom but Darkwood Hollow beyond it. Unfortunately, the view inside was not so pretty; her trip meant there was quite a bit of work now stacked up for her to finish.

At least I don't have to fear any imps here, Aibrean thought as she began organizing.

Watch out for Aibrean's quiz, coming soon in Mistic Chat!

Some issues arose with crafting that were quickly fixed, as well as minor updates to the account preferences for gender options.

Work continues on a few areas, safe box sort and moving, and gallery issues, as well as exotic food lists and trade logs available to members.  We hope to update you soon on these areas!

Did you happen to see this pillow in the plot shop?
Maybe it's a clue..
Tune in tomorrow in the morning for some FUN!

Coding Corner!

 Please Pardon our Dust!
There has been a lot of behind the scenes coding going on at Mistica since the server move. We're not only working on fixing small issues that have poped up here and there, but also a whole slew of requested upgrades and even a few NEW FEATURES.

Keeping up with a live site like Mistic, while not having the same kind of down-time issues like other sites have, is quite the job, but one we are up to doing! If you happen to find something that's not working right, please let us know so that we can get it taken care of.

It the next week or so, we hope to have a couple new features out to Champions for testing. And tomorrow we are hoping to have the latest site upgrade ready for testing. Please remember that not only do Champions get access to new features first, but it's a great way to show your support and love for Mistica!
~GeekGirl

Battle!

I think it's time that we break this very long silence and have a talk about what's going on with battle.  When last you saw it, it was unfortunately not in a finished, well-polished state. There were a lot of things that did not go as planned and a lot more things that just never came to fruition.

However, battle is most certainly not dead. It's a work in progress and something that I hope the community can enjoy when the time comes. Everything is being re-done from the ground up and there is a ton of work to do to get it where it needs to be. Months and months of planning have gone into making sure battle can live up to what it was always meant to be. You will see many of the features you've asked for and wanted, along with some exciting new features that will integrate with some other parts of the site in the future.

There is no set date at which battle will be released again; it will be done when it is completed. In the next couple of months, we will be approaching a time where testing will need to be done. Testing will be done in multiple phases to be sure everything works as intended and so that we have time to make adjustments before the big unveiling. More information will be provided in the coming weeks and months.

Everyone now has access to all 10 icons in chat when it is open, so be sure to check your options in Preferences. New options and updates are coming soon!

We've received a Hero Rat update on Aurelius and Pandoria. 
For our newer members, a Hero Rat is a rat trained in Mine Detection and/or Tuberculosis Testing, and they are doing important work in countries where these things remain a big issue!
MisticPets supports the training of two of these special heroes, and when updates are received, we like to share them with everyone and to cheer them on! 

Congratulations! Pandoria just passed its second blind test, also technically known as the five-meter test. As in Pandoria’s first blind test, her trainer did not know where the targets were hidden. Whenever Pandoria scratched at the ground for three seconds or longer, her trainer reported to an observing supervisor that a detection response had been made. The supervisor marked the location of each response on a map of the field and later reported Pandoria’s test results to the trainer. Pandoria found all of the mines in a 5 by 24 meter area without scratching more than once over an area that did not contain a landmine. 

Pandoria is well on its way to clearing land and saving lives, and will be rewarded with extra mangos and play time today. Aurelius may be a few months behind Pandoria, but his TB training is well under way as he participates in 'odor discrimination training'.

 

~Mistic Team

Dakota is done with his traveling for now, and is ready and open for questing again! Be sure to visit him!



If you feel like visiting Harmony, she's requesting items from two shops in particular catering to bibliophiles!  Go see Arnold and Lissa today to help out!

Custom Pet Trades

It has come to our attention that there have been a few instances recently of people attempting to do "Custom" pet trades. The overwhelming majority did not want pets to be sold for items or mc/mp last time that this discussion occurred.

It seems time to have another discussion, and possibly a poll to find out what the members think moving forward.

However, at this time, while you may trade pets, but you may not sell them for 'custom' to be created pets, or for items/mc/mp. Please keep this in mind!

~Mistic Team.

Contests are now open, and we are trying someting a little new with our art contest this month!
The challenge is Mistical Food! While our writing and poetry have themes of their own. Can't wait to see what you can create!

With new contests, of course that means that it's time to VOTE!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have an update on our helpsite as well! Instead of Alchemy, you'll see Crafting linked in the side banner.  All craftables are listed by shop now, to ease everyone's mind about which Craft person can help them in their quest for fun items! 







Before Ostara hits again, the poofs will be lending Blithe a hand with egg decorating, it will be announced in the news when this change occurs however. This is just a heads up!

~Mistic Team

The Plot Shop is now open for everyone to get some goodies after all your hard work digging out the Quarry!
Click King Mephitic's crown above to enter the shop!


Trophies have been awarded to both sides for their valiant efforts!
But we'd like to take a moment to recognize the most rabid of plot players!

Congratulations to our top two, both scoring over 12,000 plot points each!
Resolve and Rainforest!

In our next tier, earning over 8k points:
Kauri

And scoring over 4k points:
Seme, Lavi, Gemajgall, Thor, Xeiana, Lugia, Flygon

These ten players will have quite a choice ahead of them. They have all earned enough points (and a bit extra) to get a Lysador Relic from the plot shop!

 
Or maybe some of the newer items will tempt them?

And for those that missed out:



Some may take advantage of a chance to stock up on Slot Coins!
There will only be a limited number stocked of this credit shop item, however it wil restock several times for various time zones.

 Enjoy your rewards and thank you for making this such a great reveal, Mistica!

~Mistic Team 

Both could be a terror, but only one is really scary!
 


Introducing the baby and terror Lysador! Remember, the Baby and Terror Pandoria boxes are available in game, through questing, and from your fellow members!

These are still a bonus gift through this month for those that spend $50 or more in a single transaction! Just a reminder, since there were some inquiries!

~Mistic Team 

All attempts to seize the imps in their tracks were futile, even for Blackrock’s menacing and robust guards. Deep within the cavernous vaults, the imps wreaked irreversible havoc, scattering gold about the floors. Several imps capered away with precious gemstones and priceless artifacts.


They wielded polished chisels and brandished toothy weapons that looked like excessively gaudy daggers. That level of treasure tampering was enough to upset Blackrock’s beloved vaults. The mayhem only swelled when one guard turned, horrified, to see one ambitious imp heading down the halls, triumphant and smug, a gleaming talisman of sort held firm within his grasp.

“No! No! No! The gurahdi magic! Power! No--”

Suddenly, a larger fleet of gargoyles was on the move. There was much yelling, some laughter, and the thunderous sound of something that could come collapsing in at any moment. The guards ran as fast as their stony voluminous frames would allow, but the imps’ agility could not be matched. The gargoyles watched helplessly as the tangle of stealthy lithe shadows faded into the distance.

“Look at this,” they heard one voice boast, irritatingly cheerful. “Master Mephitic will sure be pleased with us. Maybe he’ll send some of the prize our way.”

---

“What? I don’t understand—“

Boreal stood before her messenger, shivering, her eyes showing signs of hurt and anger, a bitter storm that could result in either temper or tears. The wintercursed belragoth gulped before speaking. “Now, now. They may still be at work with your gifts, but—“

“But he promised—I promised—I thought we had a deal. I began with two selfish, mindless Kohals at work with power and glory. Now Mephitic and his band of this mutants think they can take it all and run?”

The Belragoth looked sympathetic. “Well, I suppose in the end, nobody has really won. Do you really think those idiots will be able to figure out what to do with your most superior powers?”

“What do you mean?” Even through its helpless quiver, Boreal’s voice was strangely intimidating. “They won. One is at work, all strong and sweaty through his day’s work before flame, while the other makes…jewelry. It’s sickening. I promised to stop those sprites, all to his advantage. And what did he do? What has he done?”

The Queen fell silent. She couldn’t bring herself weep; she couldn’t even raise her voice any louder. She just retreated to her private chambers, somberly and wordlessly.
~~~~~~~

With an impressive victory, the Imps have won this plot!

Queen Boreal doesn't seemed too thrilled with their victory however...
Final Scores stand at:

Imps: 695
Sprites: 500

Congratulations to everyone for a job well done in helping to unveil the quarry and the crafting features. The Lysador was quite a surprise laying in wait!  The Plot shop is being worked on, as well as the tiered scores so we can make the levels as fair as possible with the awards.

These two items from digging will be available in the plot shop!
And the most dedicated just may find they have enough plot points to purchase a Lysador Relic!

Dakota pulled his hat lower over his eyes as he stepped out from the shade of the repository. He looked up at the sky, blue and clear, but the skeleton in the relic room had his mind occupied.

 

It wasn’t labeled but the bones were perfectly preserved and displayed with expensive metal wire coated to resist corrosion. Dakota even suspected some magic was involved. Why would someone take such care and then not bother to label what they’d preserved?

Dakota sighed and leaned up against what had been called the Lost Door. The gargoyles would have to find a new title for themselves, he thought, though Blackrock was living out the “guardian” part quite well. Gargoyle guards, stern and armed, were always stationed at the door’s entrance. They were looking at Dakota with raised eyebrows now, as though wondering why he was desecrating their sacred relic with his shoulder.

 

A little unnerved, Dakota decided to head back inside. Maybe there was something he missed about that skeleton…

 

But all was as he’d left it. The lirionox growled, kicked a rock at the wall just because and turned to leave again, only to be suddenly face to face with Pandoria.

 

The goddess stood there quite calmly. In fact, she had a bit of a smile on her face; Dakota wondered if she thought his startled expression funny and scowled.

“I see you’ve found this place. I wondered when you would,” she said.

Dakota snorted. “And a great help you’ve been,” he retorted.

Pandoria’s jaw tightened but, to Dakota’s surprise, she didn’t smite him then and there for his attitude. Instead she held out her staff and the gem atop it began to pulse and glow. White tendrils of light shot out and formed themselves into what Dakota recognized as a fossil, looking oddly like it would fit the skeleton Pandoria stood beside.

“You will start finding these soon,” she explained, “and when you do, bring them to Raimia. She will know what to do with the magic I left in them.”

“What are you talking about? Fossils? Are you bringing back creatures from the dead now?” Dakota demanded.

“In a sense,” Pandoria said, “they’ve always had life left in them, preserved until now. These Lysadors have a fascinating history, you know…you must ask one to tell you how they helped me once, long ago. And now, my promise is fulfilled.” And with a coy smile the goddess was gone.

Dakota blinked, feeling blindsided. He’d come here for relics, but reports had recently come in of imps sneaking around, and now this...

Introducing the Lysador!

These special pets will be quite hard to get, but you'll definitely have fun trying!  Their relics can be found in the last level of Mining, so be sure to check in and get your digs in to grow that level!


Once you have them, you'll be able to visit the library and Raimia through the Repository! She will work her magic, and you will be able to choose your color and all other information. 


And to start things off, what better way to welcome the Lysador to Mistic than with a few giveaways?

1st- TWO lucky winners that are chosen randomly from the comments on this newspost will receive the FIRST Lysadors onsite.
(drawing will be tonight at 11;30pm- 8/9/14)

2nd- All members who spend more than $10 in credits will receive an entry into a raffle for a Lysador.

3rd- Legacy Token - Remember that mysterious figurine?

4th- Any member who spends $50 or more in a single transaction this month will recieve a Lysador Relic as a gift.  
(Previous sales will count, but they will be sent AFTER the newspost winners receive their prize!) 

Be sure to sport this new default avatar in the forums if you love it!

The sun rose just a few short hours later and as predicted the imps had given up on their search and left Aibrean be. Lights came on in the shops, doors were propped open to invite others to come in, and a few table displays were set up outside to show off some of the things one could buy in the store. Soraya was surprised to see Aibrean sleeping peacefully on a large sack of moon dust and she wondered where the sprite had come from. She remembered that she had been expected to visit Raimia, but had apparently taken a wrong turn somewhere.

“Perryn, put some tea on the stove. We have a guest!” she shouted to her partner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Welcome everyone, one and all!” a tall and domineering gargoyle said as his doors opened for the first time to a throng of customers. “I hope you're enjoying your visit to our Quarry! Due to the influx of travelers, I am pleased to announce our grand opening!”

The Quarry is open, which means it's time for everyone to start enjoying some fun activities centered around this area.

Be sure to visit the giveaway to get your stone Pickaxe, you are going to need it!


You can enter the dig site from two areas on the quarry map. On the main map, as well as an area  inside the repository. Speaking of which, the Repository has been unveiled, go see all the wonders!


(click above for the forum guide!) 

At the bottom of the dig site, you'll notice your level indicator.
Everyone starts out at Level 1.
Each week of consecutive digging raises you one level. 
Once levels are open, you may dig where you choose.
Each level has unique opportunities for items.

Sneak Peek of items on each level:
Level 1


Level 2


Level 3


Level 4



What will we do with all these trinkets we dig up?
Good question, it's time for...


Crafting with Soraya and Perryn!
When you enter their shops, you'll see craft plans!

Perryn's Craft plans have the Blackrock sigil on them:


While Soraya's has a diamond!


Utilizing these plans, and the recipes on the helpsite, you can make hundreds of items! Here's a small viewing!

 

And much, much more!

A guide is in the forums in Mistic Chat, and we'll answer any questions on the mining and crafting there on the board.

Enjoy the fun Mistica!

 

~Mistic Team 

Aibrean had just arrived at the Quarry. There was a hint of dust in the air from all of the excavating that had been going on lately, so she knew she was there even before she was close enough to see the lights burning brightly to illuminate the darkness. She was relieved to finally be there as the feeling of being followed never ceased for a moment during her trip. All she had to do was find Raimia and her journey would be complete.

As she ventured up the path to Raimia's dwelling, she felt a hand on her shoulder. “And where do you think you're going, miss?” a sinister voice asked. Aibrean spun around and found herself staring face to face with an imp, likely the source of her paranoia. She was smiling at her, the look on her face creepy and demented.

“What concern of it is yours?” Aibrean asked snappily.

When she tried to grab the sprite's arm, Aibrean jumped away and attempted to sprint the rest of the way up the path. Several imps jumped into her way, their intent to stop her from reaching Raimia clear. Not wanting to be captured by the imp spies, she did the only thing she could think to do and veered off the path, running towards a small enclave of shops.

“Get her!” an imp shouted.

They made chase, but despite Aibrean's smaller legs, she proved to be swifter and speedier than they and dove into the open window of one of the shops. The imps froze and looked around. Aibrean sighed with relief when she realized they hadn't seen her enter the building and were confused.

“She's around here somewhere...” one of them said.

“Let's keep looking!”

Aibrean wasn't too worried. It would be daylight soon and the imps never stuck around when there were no more shadows to hide them.

Enjoy your first look at the Quarry map! What secrets lie within this image?
~~~~~~~~~

Aibrean made it to the Quarry! Whose shop is she in? 
Answers are coming tomorrow morning, so get any last food in to feed the workers and help your teams!

~Mistic Team 

 

Everyone is covered in dirt and probably other, much more icky, substances, but that hasn't curbed anyone's appetites! Excavating a long lost repository of priceless and ancient knowledge is hard work, after all. While the gargoyles can barbecue like no one's business, one can only take their meat-based fare for so long.



So let's gather up food and strengthen our respective sides! Since some of our pals seem to have gotten lost during tracking, you've now got a little longer to help out your team.



This is your last chance to get points for your team, so have at it Mistica! Click Alan above to turn in food for your side!

 

~Mistic Team

Raimia's messenger had finally reached his destination, and Aibrean had her message in hand.

"Thank you for getting me this message so quickly, it's not a moment too soon!"
She packed in a hurry, stopping to confer with the royal twins before she left. They both insisted that she take guards to safeguard her as reports of Imp activity had risen over the weeks since the Lost Door's discovery.

She set out with her guards, ever mindful that she just couldn't shake the feeling of being watched...
~~~~~~

Due to the issues that appear to be plaguing the tracking/ambush section of interaction, we are looking to substitute in another form of interaction and will have that ready tomorrow. We will leave it open for the evening, until we are ready with another task for the teams and apologize for the inconvenience.  All pals should now work for this task, excepting any that have multiple uses (like food)

What we have to reveal as we near the end of the plot will be worth it though! 

~Mistic Team

At long last, the final bucket of dirt was hauled away, and with that the third and final room of the repository was made accessible. Built-in bookcases lined the wall from floor to ceiling, stacked with clay tablets, reed scrolls, and leather-bound volumes. Some looked so dried and brittle that they might have cracked into dust at the slightest touch. Many were written with a variety of alphabets with illuminations depicting times and places far apart.

“I thought it was only a rumor,” murmured Alan with tears of joy in his eyes. “I’ve heard it said that in ancient times,  there was a thoroughfare that facilitated the trading of knowledge for goods. I never thought I’d see the end result for myself.”

“You’re going to need a ladder,” remarked Dakota as he looked up the tall shelves.

“It would take one person a whole life time to catalog this all,” Raimia said. “That...that would be a dream...To spend it submersed in history.”

“And to fuel others’ love of history too,” agreed Alan. A broad smile broke out across his face. “Chief Blackrock gave his permission; I’m going to open this into the best museum in Mistica for all to see and learn!”

“And as leader of the gurahdia, I too will protect and spread the knowledge within these walls,” Raimia said. “I even have someone in mind who can help me get started with all these scrolls. I’ve already prepared a letter.”

“I hope you didn’t ask Maury to send it; I almost didn’t get the last one,” chuckled Alan.

Raimia shook her head. “I had one of my most trusted gurahdi fly it personally this time. She should be getting the letter by this evening.”

Alan’s eyes flickered as he noticed Dakota making his way toward the door. “And what are you going to do, Dakota?”

“Travel,” he answered while adjusting his hat. The sunset caught the first smile he had shown in many years.

 

~~~~~~~~

Raimia has called for help, this special plea is a perfect opportunity for each side to send out some trackers  to gather more intel and help their sides!

(Click above if you still need to choose a side!)

Click on this image on profiles of members of the opposite team and see if you get lucky with some information. You could get a special item, some MC, or come away from your turn empty handed.

You may track every Hour, 45 mins for our Champion supporters!
Remember, you need to have some misticpals in your inventory, they are the ones that will do the best job tracking! 

**Please note, you will lose the pals you used for tracking!

As Misticans helped set the repository to righths, a second room emerged from what once had been barren ground. There was still a little bit of digging to be done to uncover the entire repository, but the entrance, the most important part, was free from the confines of the dirt. The large, stone doors that sealed the repository from the outside took a little bit of effort to push open, but with the combined effort of the gargoyles and the gurahdia the knowledge contained within was free to be explored.

“By Pandoria!” Raimia exclaimed as her eyes gazed upon the long forgotten artwork on display.

The artwork was very primitive in nature. Most of it appeared to be cave drawings, old, earthenware pots, some ancient-looking blankets with similarly simplistic designs. Despite the simple nature of the art they told clear stories. One depicted a fabled battle fought between the gurahdia and gargoyles in ancient times when they had been less than allies. Another showed what appeared to be a starry sky, Pandoria, giving birth to Mistica. All of this artwork had been believed to have been lost forever centuries ago.

While Alan was busy gushing about a cave drawing depicting a peace ceremony between the gargoyles and gurahdia, Dakota examined some old cave art depicting a reptilian creature of some sort living alongside a tribe of hunters like a pet. “Huh...” he said, stroking his chin thoughtfully. “I've seen relics that had similar pictures of this creature on it before. I wonder if those relics originated here?”

“Look at all this!” Alan exclaimed. “This must be the largest collection of prehistoric Mistican artwork I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few collections in my days!”

“Indeed,” Raimia agreed. It was probably the largest that anyone had seen.
