this was why I was against the hats to begin with and was told at the time that since it would be restricted to one per player it wouldn't be that much of an issue, but if you hoard, it become exponentially easier to abuse the stupid system to begin with. Some people were already getting SRs just today and it's the first day the hats were in circulation. 1% vs the standard 0.5% with the present RNG system to me really makes a huge difference in item generation from my personal experience since with 1% chance, I do roughly at least do see 1 rare every 100 times I do breed, sometimes none appear after even 200 breeds but by 1000 breeds I can say that I do observe usually about 10 rares from breeding. for the SRs with half that odds, I do occasionally end up with a bad enough streak that despite 1000-1500+++ breeds I don't see a single SR. Warrior people wouldn't be happy with their hard earned weapons being dropped like candy for people who don't do crap in said career, I don't understand why it's always fine to just mess with AHer's efforts in that case especially since it also requires regular FD sinking to even invest in it. It's honestly a system that just screws with people who've actually worked for stuff since we;d actually be more likely to get stuff we already have while people who don't do crap in the career are likely to get stuff they need, at the same time, rares/uncommons that are currently nigh worthless that AHers can sell for a possibly small sum to make up for all that effort/failure breeding will now further be devalued as people get stuff they don't want and just throw it up in their stall for cheap, undercutting one another since it required them literally no effort to obtain.

Admin-Wisteria the herbalist I used was Creator, and I want to say the pumpkin was not much beyond the base weight (500 g)? unless I totally misunderstood, and you only received the prize if your pumpkin was bigger? either way, thank you for the help!

dang it, broken ping

I'll get MOD-Thaleia to take a look! Do you remember (roughly) what size your pumpkin was/what herbalist you used?

The hats were distributed & coded while I was asleep, so I didn't get a chance to ask for specific restrictions - though retrospectively I'm not sure it'd help. I figure players would go about (in some convoluted way or other) paying others for the rewards generated from their hats.

Though, in theory (if all is working correctly), you have:
60% chance for common
30% chance for uncommon
9% chance for rare
1% chance for SR

On a 3-day cooldown, you're looking at 1 or 2 SR results a year.

uhh I never smashed my pumpkin but there is no longer one on my herbalists career page at all

I personally hope the pets are still released this month even if late, it helps it be at least somewhat exciting once a month

Admin-Wisteria I recall the hats supposedly being no trade or limited to one per account to prevent abuse of said item, because nothing was in place to actually implement it, I think some people might have bought/sold them already as well so... what now?

I know you can typically give us extension on breeding times but if the pets are that delayed I'd much prefer this month be a break since overflow into breeding next month will just take up so many charges that should go into breeding that month's pets instead... =S wouldn't be a problem if again RNG wasn't so bad and charges weren't a thing though.

Admin-Wisteria my pumpkin is gone (and I was here for the event) -- any advice?

Limited pets from the hat is a temporary error and will be resolved tonight.

Admin-Mat receives the emails for the new items (that aren't from MOD-Shroomy ), and they're in and out of frequent doctor appointments following their stay at the hospital; I'd expect things to be a little delayed for a week or two at least, but we'll try to keep things on-time as best we can. Likewise, Admin-Mat handles transactions for custom item orders, so new orders may be delayed as well, despite MOD-Shroomy having completed their current queue for orders.

The items added to the DB recently were the items we had from earlier this month, but were unable to access due to Mat's stay at the hospital (I'll stat them soon - I've been a bit busy between NPC-Traveler and the OFB event prep).

Regarding the costume buffs - the codework for them is extremely convoluted for no apparent reason, with variables being saved as arbitrary values and no documentation was provided for koafox to work with, hence the delays.
Hope that clears some stuff up.

Yay finally! *smooches on gold trophy and sumptuous DMM pies*
Thank you you!!!
