Ah, time for a delicious afternoon coffee! You order your favorite caffeinated treat and sit down at an empty table. Well, maybe not so empty. It seems like someone left their copy of this week's Mistican Science Weekly on the table. It's hard not to read things that are sitting in front of you, so you begin to thumb through it. An interesting article catches your eye.

"MYSTERY FOOTPRINTS DISCOVERED NEAR THE WOODS OF AGES"
-----
 
The recent discovery of a golden scale near the Woods of Ages has had researchers in a tizzy. The scale, which resembles a cycloid fish scale but does not match the scales of any known pet or pal, was discovered by a hiker last week. Since then, Dr. Marie Erlenmeyer, a researcher from Mistica University, and her team have been on location in and around this mysterious, misty forest, searching for more clues about this mysterious scale. Just recently, they discovered something interesting.
"At first, we were afraid we weren't going to find anything," said Dr. Erlenmeyer in an interview. "We went several days without seeing anything out of the ordinary. No more scales, no strange sounds, no new samples... But we knew better than to give up! The clue we found is absolutely crucial!" 
The clue the research team discovered was none other than a set of mysterious tracks, pictured below.

 
"We found those tracks near a stream, in the wet sand. We're so lucky to have such clear prints!" Dr. Erlenmeyer beams as she tells me about her find, obviously excited. "As you can see, it looks like there's two different sets of tracks here, but it's actually an animal with very different front and back paws. As you can see, the front feet have four digits in a more reptilian orientation, and the back paws look very similar to the footprints of a Haruba, but the size is wrong. Interestingly, these tracks never touched any plants. It's like whatever was walking was specifically avoiding trodding on plant life!" 
We asked Dr. Erlenmeyer if the tracks and the scale could be related. "We just don't know, sadly. The prints are clean... we haven't found any more scales or fur or anything. They COULD be related, but that might be a stretch." The lovely researcher didn't seem too upset, though. She and her team think this could be a whole new species of Misticpet! 
Dr. Erlenmeyer mentioned that it's possible the footprints are a hoax, hoping to capitalize on the fame of the scale. However, only time, and more research, will tell.

How fascinating! What could all this mean? Surely more evidence will surface soon...

We continue our weekly updates about changes we've made around the site  for the previous week. Let's dive in!

• Legendaries can now comment each other by clicking on Legendary images on member profiles!


• Work is under way to offer a quick stock option for clothing. Both adding items as well as removing as we are aware of how time consuming the process is currently.

Tune in next week, we should have a lot more to report!

M.A.W.Z. and M.W.A.Z continue their yearly faceoff during our Znake migration and as it stands right now, M.A.W.Z. is firmly in the lead!

 
M.A.W.Z. has saved 2,625 znakes this year already!!
Let's give them a hand!


While M.W.A.Z. has whacked 1,483!


There are still a few days left before the znakes vanish to their dens and more sedate way of life. Do you have time to catch these newest creatures?
 


~Mistic Team 

Spring has almost sprung and what that means: one last hurrah for our winter pets!  As Misticans were enjoying the snow one last time before it all melts, they were met with the following fantastical creatures!
 
This also means that there is a limited quantity of our Winter Boxes in the sale. These won't be seen again until next winter, so get yours while you can!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They also came across a very strange specimen. It looked like it came from no MisticPet they had ever encountered. I wonder what it could be...
 

~Mistic Team  

I thought we'd start something new this week, by providing you guys with a list of all the updates and changes we've made around the site  for the previous week. 

• Hatchipals - you should now be able to remove them from ANY of your forum posts once they have matured. You should no longer be limited to just posts you created. 


• Unknown Owners - Some pets were unable to be fed or played with because of their names. All pet names should now work as intended.


• Pound PIN - When you enter your pin at the pound, you should now return to the page you were wanting, not the main pound page.


• World Navigation - We've replaced the old flash map with signs leading to each destination. This is only temporary and we should have a better looking solution in the future.


• Shops - User shops are now paginated and alphabetized. This should make loading for larger shops quicker and easier to search for. Buying an item at a user shop also no longer takes you to a confirmation page.

 

RAFFLE!

The Weekly Raffle has come to a close, and we are very happy to announce the latest lucky Mistican to fill their coffers!

ZNAKES ALIVE!

With all the znake whacking and znake saving going on, there appears to be a number of new znakes being found! Will you have time to collect them all before their yearly migration is over?


And if you go visit Tormic, he's got this fancy new critter all set for you to... wear?


The other shops are getting into the fun too! Look for the following favorite seasonal restocks! 

And don't forget the Mistical Pot Egg, in the Credit Shop for a limited time!


~Mistic Team 

The sleepy hamlet of Rordon has been taken over by a veritable army of Znakes in their annual migration frenzy and they're overrunning all of Mistica! Two foundations have sprung up to combat this flood of slithery little pals and it looks like they're recruiting.

*
Misticans Whacking Away Znakes (MWAZ): 
Quick! Join our group, whip out your whacker and knock those slippery critters a solid one on the noggin. Stars, man, who doesn't like pretty, twinkly stars? And their dazed expressions are just so cute!

*
Misticans Against Whacking Znakes (MAWZ): 
WAIT! Our acronym's meaning is slightly longer, so we're obviously better than MWAZ! If you go about whacking znakes, you might regret it. How could you whack defenseless little pals anyway, you monster D:

So, are you a Znake whacker, or a Znake saver? With which side do your loyalties lie, Mistica? 

Which side will you support? Or will you join the TOWWALATFBTTSRTZ and stay out of this insane mess?

(The Onlookers Who Watch And Laugh At The Fight 
Between The Two SidesRelating To Znakes.)

Don't forget to stop by the giveaway to get your handy whacking tool. Will you receive the Humane or the Barbaric Whacking stick? 

~Mistic Team

How it Works

Keep your eye out for the following button which will appear as you are playing around the site. 

Once you click it, you will be faced with two choices. Think carefully! You can either save the znake, or whack it!

The choice is yours! Once you make your selection, you will receive a surprise Znake. 
(there is an hourly limit to the znakes you can collect, o keep it fair for everyone. Champions reset at 45 mins.)

Have at it Mistica. Let the whacking begin!

Ghost thought that he could sneak his birthday past us, but we foiled his attempt!  Makoto is stocking a very eerie pocketwatch for all those spooky fans out there! 

Happy Birthday Ghost!
And please make sure to go sign Ghost's birthday card in Mistic Chat!

Coding Update!

Do take note, that the Hatchipal detach issue has been addressed and you no longer need to make a new forum post in order to remove your hatchi.  :)

Warmer months had come and even the Diamond Glacier Domain was seeing the tiniest effects of spring. Queen Boreal stood out on her balcony, her dark face hard as a stone as she looked out at her kingdom with icy eyes.

A tiny glint suddenly sparked to life below her. Frowning, Boreal leaned forward for a better look, eyes narrowed against the freezing wind slapping her face. Something wasn’t right…

The queen turned and made her way through the grand halls of her austere palace and down winding stairs until she was standing in her own courtyard. Outside the spiked, icy gate surrounding the castle Queen Boreal could see a procession of Kohals, laden with bags as usual, but one stood out. Its coal-black hide was instead a bright, shimmering blue, and it was carrying something in its mouth that shone.

 Full of indignation Queen Boreal shouted down two Wintercursed Mandoran guards to escort the odd Kohal out of her kingdom, and they ran to obey her. But the thought struck the queen that if one Kohal had rebelled – because forsaking uniformity was just that – that surely more were planning the same thing!

And so the queen ordered the banishment of a large portion of her Kohals, intending to make more, and maybe they would be more loyal this time around…

Meanwhile in the warmer Darkwood Hollow, Feron was watching over her little helpers with her usual scowl when one of the Foer came running up a root, holding something like a diamond.

Feron blinked, baffled by the crystal toadstool’s presence. “And did that just pop up?” The spirit inquired, receiving an energetic nod in answer. “Hmm…magic at work, no doubt,” Feron reasoned, “Well, be sure to care for them!”

Feron’s Crystallized Toadstool is for sale in her shop, and it seems that it has some unusual properties! Every month it will turn any Kohal who eats it into a color corresponding with that month’s birthstone. And with Queen Boreal’s temper, there may be quite a few Kohals out there waiting to be picked up…
*Limited quantities available in the credit shop.

A steady stream of Misticans laden with beads, hats, juggling balls and other shiny Revelry trinkets had been making their way through the Banshee Swamp since the Rougarou had awakened. Benni had managed to stay out of the way, keeping far from the beast’s lair and his accordion quiet, though his little arms were just itching to play.

But the Rougarou’s patience wasn’t infinite, and it wasn’t long before he tired of the crowds gathering around him for his prizes. He growled and snapped as he handed out plushies and masks, and more than once a Mistican was lucky to get away with all their fingers.

Finally, it became too much. The Rougarou lashed out with his claws and roared, a thunderous boom that shook the trees down to their watery roots. “I’m finished! All of you, OUT!”

No one needed telling twice. With their Revelry trinkets still in hand, the crowds dispersed at a run, pushing through thick vines and ducking around tree trunks. The Rougarou watched them, grinning to himself, his teeth gleaming in the dim light of the swamp.

And then, he went back to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Benni crept from his hiding place, taking up a fearful watch over the Rougarou's treasure in order to give the citizens a last chance at using their revelry points. Perhaps next year he'll tone his celebrating down. 
Or will he?

Revelry Buttons will be removed tomorrow, but tossing and questing has ended for now. Thank you all for participating! 

The Weekly Raffle has come to a close, and we are very happy to announce the latest lucky Mistican to fill their coffers!

Thanks, Mistic Team.

Everyone is scrambling to placate the very grumpy Rougarou, but we have cause for a bit more celebrating. Our monthly vending items have arrived! 

Inspired by Revelry and our upcoming Whacking Day, these items are sure to be fan favorites!



 

 
We've added a new FAQ to the Helpsite regarding the Vending Machine. We wanted to post some adjustments to the system that we hope will benefit the entire community.

For the first week of Release, only the 10 current month's items will be in the vending machine. After this time, prior month's items will be added in low numbers so that there is a chance to get past items into circulation.  No more than 3 month's of items will be in the vending machine at one point. The schedule has been posted in the FAQ for easy reference. 


We need your input Mistica!

Do you think promoting contest entries in forums and in the public areas of the site should be allowed? Will campaigning increase voting numbers and bring back interest to the contests?  Please head to the link above and vote now!

Zulime was still fuming her closed up shop, stirring the cauldron before her so hard the greenish liquid was sloshing over the sides. Visitors had long since stopped trying to get in and Zulime had remained stubborn, only going out if she had no other choice.

With a huff the old Belragoth leaned over her concoction to check its consistency, and as she straightened again, mumbling about her aching shoulders, a thunderous roar nearly made her trip into the potion. Alarmed, Zulime rushed to her window and then noticed something: Benni’s music had stopped!

The roar sounded again; it could only be the Rougarou, finally awakened! 

Indeed, Benni was to be found at that moment huddled inside a tree trunk with his accordion folded up beside him. Through the slits in the water-laden vines that hid him from view, Benni saw the Rougarou’s enormous, hunched figure; he could hear the beast growling and sniffing the air…

The Rougarou isn’t too happy about missing Revelry, so maybe you can placate him by turning in some Revelry Points! He’s got some prizes you might be interested in. Or maybe you need a poppet after that little dry spell? Zulime seems to be in a much better mood, so give her shop a visit, if you can find it.

New Plushies! And a chance at the Credit Shop Revelry Frodrinn Plushie if you have the points...
