Jack had spent the night in the captain's quarters, pacing the entire night. As the rays of the sun broke over the bow of the ship, he ventured onto dry land once more, the trinket from the night before clutched in his paw. 

He hurried along the shore, making his way to a series of caves, a place rumoured to be haunted and inaccessible. He ducked inside the cave network, tracing a familiar path through the labyrinth before coming to a seemingly dead end.  Captain Jack turned in place, looking at the walls, seemingly searching for any signs of disturbance.  Raising his paw, he let the trinket drop to the soft sand, and called out.

"Blacktusk hear me, and come as you are bid."

 

A ghostly apparition appeared behind Captain Jack, causing him to turn quickly, the fur on the back of his neck standing on end to be so close to the other world. 

Captain Blacktusk began to speak. 
"Before you came to landfall, my slumber was disturbed. You have returned part of my treasure, but what has happened ot the rest? These many years, I have laid at rest, and now I am called back to the world of Mistica. Who has disturbed my rightfully won peace Jack?"

Jack gazed upon his old Captain, and shook his head sadly. 
"I know not, Blacktusk. But I will find out for ye. I swear it."

Captain Jack surveyed the scene as the torrential downpour met the unyielding land of Mistica. This storm seemed to be fueled by a fury, the likes of which he hadn't seen in years. 

With a sigh, he dashed into the rain, making for the Lighthouse for a brief respite. Suddenly he stopped cold, a shiver danced down his backside and made his fur stand on end.  A small coin on the ground had caught his eye.


His paw was shaking, but he managed to stoop and pick up the coin, with the strange crest stamped upon it. Heedless of the water, he stood staring at the object with a strange apprehension. Captain Jack shook himself and turned on his heel, back to his ship. This changed things.

~~~~~~~~~~

Watch out Mistica, there are a couple Mysterious Mistic Events to watch out for this weekend, if you dare!


Pirate Coins may be collected, if you are brave enough. The appearance of this coin certainly spooked our good haruba Captain!

 
And you will want to grab a few of these pirate pinatas!
   
These three fine critters are hidden inside!

And don't forget to get out of the wet, and go dig in the sands for other piratey treasure!

~Mistic Team

The storm is intensifying, and it may be better for everyone if we look inland for some adventure.  Why not check try your hand at digging for some nifty pirate items?




Everyone can dig once an hour, so don't miss your turn! Champions may dig every 30 minutes.  So click above and join in the treausre hunt!
Savvy?

~Mistic Team

P.S. Anyone seen hide or hair of good old Monty? 

Last night's releases are now fixed, and able to be found!


And in light of the issues we encountered, here are some more to dig out!



Enjoy even more Avatar hunting now!

 

~Mistic Team 

Captain Jack stood on the deck of the Black Pyre, staring into the distance. Angry, dark clouds could be seen in the distance, and he could smell rain in the air. A mighty storm was brewing, and the winds of change left an almost palpable feeling in the air. 

~~~~~~

Captain Jack senses something afoot, is it just a storm that is causing his fur to ruffle? Or could it be something a bit more sinister?

Before the storm breaks, perhaps you can search out some of our newest avatars! Happy Hunting!

(We apologize, avatars seem to be malfunctioning. We will remove this message once they are awarding correctly, for the delay, we will add a few more in!)

Ahoy! Take yourself on down to visit one of our fine shopkeepers at Beanbag Bazaar, Creepy Critters, Plushie Domain, Desert Cohorts, Freezy Treats, Haunted Library, Lighthouse Knicknacks, Mistica Cuisine, Sizzling Decor, Heartsong Music, Keilly's Kafe, or visit Bud at the Trash Hole to get a gander at these pirate goods! 

Jack and his crew have been busy unloading, and they aren't done yet! Remember that these goods are seasonal, and won't hang around forever so get to shopping while you are able!

~Mistic Team 

Captain Jack has unloaded some of his goods, and it looks like Makoto isn't getting the bulk of items this year, just about all of Mistica's shop are getting in on the Pirate action!

 




To start off with, the Post Office, Sweets R Us, Toy Factory, Fish Monger, Sea Wonders, Spooky Creations, Blizzard Buddies, Knotty Nook, Tribal Trades and Village Bakery all have pirate goodies to share!

~Mistic Team 

Makoto was the first to see the black sails of Captain Jack's ship, the Black Pyre. He wasn't thrilled with the Captain's return, he loved the profits from the haruba's items, but couldn't stand the rakish charm of the good captain.

As always, Makoto wouldn't let personal distaste stand in the way of his profit, so he was the first to green Jack, and promptly set up shop with a myriad of seasonal goods, at the right price of course.






The other shopkeepers wouldn't be far behind with their pirate goods either!
 



~~~~~~~~~~~



"Avast, maties! I be Captain Jack Skillow, a Haruba who should have been born with a Skillow's wings. Since I can't fly, I travel the seas instead! I be here to inform all ye scallawags that it be talk like a pirate day! Let us get to the celebrating!"

Be sure to check back, Captain Jack always has new treasures to unveil when he hits Mistica's shores! And be sure to check out the forus, seems like everyone is getting into the Pirate mood! Savvy?

~Mistic Team 

Jade Emporium shoppers may notice someone missing, looks like the Collector has taken Monty's place for the time being. Where could he have gone?

I wouldn't ask too many questions if I were you...

~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, on the dryer side of Mistica, Dr. Erlenmeyer has been studying the newly created Terminal Toadstools without much luck. Feron had no answers for her, this was something far out of the natural realm of her own magic.

 

Looks like the terminal color is spreading! Be sure to do Dr. Erlenmeyer's pal quests for your chance at a terminal toadstool!

~~~~~~~~~


Contests are now open, all with a spooky leaning theme with Lanturnacht looming so close!

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

~Mistic Team 

Tara at the Toy Factory just got in a new set of wicked dolls, care to have a sing-a-long?

And it's perfect timing, since it's Robin's birthday!
Happy Birthday Robin!

Be sure to sign her card in Mistic Chat, you'll be seeing some of her items soon as Captain Jack's ship sails closer!

~~~~~~~~~~~



Today it seems that the Stighnightus and the Shyre have gotten a taste of the Terminal Toadstool!  Let's give them a welcome as well!

~Mistic Team 

A very limited number of Stignightus will be in the pet creation for free over the course of the day! Be watchful!

Dr. Erlenmeyer's toadstool problem is OUT of control! Look at what was recently fished up at the reef, a Terminal Caribyss!

The Tarinooki couldn't help themselves from sampling, and now they paint exclusively in 1s and 0s!


~Mistic Team 

Thanks to Random.org our winner is....
Riv!

That isn't all! Thanks in part to several inquiries, we'e decided to repeat our gift with purchase that was so popular last month to kickstart the Terminal color. So anyone that purchases $25 or more in credits in one transaction will receive a Terminal Toadstool!
 
~Mistic Team
(The gifts must be sent manually, and those that have already purchased will have theirs shortly!)

Curiosity killed the cat is a common saying. Luckily it did not hold true today!


Turns out that the Anya is the first species to have partaken of the new Terminal Toadstool!

~~~~~~~

It did not take very long for news of the new toadstool to spread, and several species underwent transformations while Dr. Erlenmeyer consulted with Feron.

We are proud to introduce the Terminal Belragoth, Kratork, Ahbruis, and Obsideon!




 Curerntly, you can fnd the Terminal Toadstool through Dr. Erlenmeyer's quests!

So be sure to pay the Dr. a visit!

~Mistic Team 

A VERY limited number of Obsideons will be released today in celebration!  

Dr. Erlenmeyer moved about Darkwood Hollow, on another visit to Feron to harvest another few toadstools for her study into their fascinating properties. She cheerfully made small talk as she gathered her samples, promising to return for a longer chat soon. 

"Once I get these analyzed, and the replication process started, I'll come back. With your ear to the ground, so to speak, I'm sure you have all the news! I'm dying for more information on the Quarry, but have no need to go explore the dusty place on my own."

~~~~~~~~~~~

Back in her lab, Dr. Erlenmeyer set her samples in a bath of water to make sure they were as clean as possible. She rescued the previous batch, taking careful notes about how they had fared since being plucked from the ground. Not surprisingly, as with most things dealing with magic in this world, they were none the worse for wear.

|"As bonny as the day I plucked you  from the ground!" she exclaimed, "And that was a week past!"

She selected a toxic toadstool, and placed it  in the contaner attached to a new device she had been tinkering with. A 3D printer. She was going to attempt to replicate Feron's toadstool magic.

The Doctor busied herself cleaning up, not noticing that a tiny clockroach climbed into the device that was about to commence work.


She didn't notice anything was wrong until the printer device started making an awful racket and she turned in alarm to take in quite a sight; the device had a mind of its own and it was in OVERDRIVE!

3 toxic toadstools had been completed, but the several after that? Mishappen and oddly distorted, it was as if Dr. Erlenmeyer's eyes refused to focus on them for any length of time. 


She managed to get the machine turned off with a dozen of these odd toadstools littering the worktable. She slowly eased out of the lab, placing a quarantine label on the door as she did so. It was time to head back to Feron to try and make sense of what had happened. 

As she headed back into the depths of the forest, a lone clockroach industriously hefted a toadstool upon his back, and made his way outside. Hiding it behind the lab, he couldn't resist a quick nibble before he hid it for later.  Little did he know, when he returned the toadstools would take over this small patch of ground.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Uh-oh! What has she done!?

Join the fun and post below what pet you hope eats a toadstool first!
Someone will win one of the first Terminal Toadstools onsite! 

Be sure and pick up one of these fun items in the giveaway today!

Work continues on many fronts, but some issues popped up that forced us to apply fixes and even recode crafting a bit to handle them.
Then of course we had the monthly turn over with all the work that goes with setting up everything!
 
Look for some boards soon Champs, so you can help us test new things!
~~~~~~~~~~~


We started the week by crafting a fix for the crafting services on site. It took the better part of a day to re-write some essential code and provide a fix that worked with how the system was designed, but the new system is scaleable code that should grow well with the site. We also made a few small changes like the Iron Pickaxe recipe, to make it a little easier on members!
 

 
Faster Site!

We've also been working on several methods to make the site faster. Some of which we have since turned off (CloudFlare) because they were causing a noticeable deline in image-quality. The primary system that is in place to speed-up mistic's load times is called a CDN or Content Delivery Network. What this does is upload ALL our image files to hundreds of servers across the US and Europe, which means when you connect to Mistic, those beautiful/high-res pet images will come from a server much closer to you than our main server in New Jersey. The greatest thing about the new Mistic CDN is that the MORE people visit the site, the FASTER the site will become

~~~~~~~

 

And last, but certainly not least, we have our Cirus and Nimbus Aetra to reveal! They look very content on their clouds, don't they?

~Mistic Team 

September updates are here! There's a couple favorites left, that Monty didn't take, and some new stock as well!

Last, but not least, congratulations to Flygon who won the Vending Token prize from yesterday!


~Mistic Team


We negelected to mention that trusty Red Beard comes with an avatar attached yesterday!  Might come in handy once you find Monty...  

Vending is all new, and there are some must haves!



Which one is your favorite? Comment before tomorrow at 6pm and a lucky Mistican will win a vending token!
