Visitors to Texolan today can now shop at the new Mining Supplies store, offering choice items for the keen miner. The Molf, Pickaxe and Furnace have now also moved to the Mining Supplies store.

Small Updates (posted 3:26)

Just some small updates as usual

• The dice game has had a facelift, in a modern browser the dice are now scattered at random angles
• The main stylesheet has been trimmed down a lot, so it should load faster
• News preferences are now stored long term, so you don't need to keep hiding regular announcements

New Rated Combat (posted 3:47)

Combat lovers rejoice, we've now made the Stone Golem Rateable, so you can continue to gain stats at Rank 3. Beware though, the Rated version of the Golem packs quite a punch!

New Minerals (posted 0:28)

A couple of new minerals today, available in the mines and at the Crystal Cave.

Stuck with the Merchant's Code? (posted 6:39)

Stuck trying to decipher the mysterious merchant's code? Check back with Darcy, he's got a new clue every day.

Congratulations GemmaZ (posted 10:27)

Congratulations to GemmaZ for being the first to solve the Mysterious Merchant's code, which has been puzzling Gropharians for days. Well done.

New Quest : Seek the Gem Seller (posted 15:43)

The next part of the Binia questline is now ready to play! It's time to seek out the Gem Seller and get Darcy off the hook! Visit Binia to start the Quest.

Binia back to normal (posted 9:51)

Since enough people have now saved Binia, her game is open to everyone again even if they have not done the Quest. However, if you have not done it yet, don't worry, you now have the option to go and do the quest by visiting Binia's page. Also, look out for the new Quest icon, which will appear on Quest text from now on. (It may take a while to add it to old Quests.)

Pardons and Curses (posted 13:44)

Count Mirglin is now offering Royal pardons at a very reasonable price. In addition we have a new curse, and some new curse icons!

More Omelets! (posted 8:17)

To celebrate the second week of the Omelet Fair, Flat proudly has more Omelets to collect! Also he tells me the old Salsa picture was no good, so we have redone that too.

Small bug fixes (posted 6:17)

Some small fixes

• Pure Water now appears on the ingredients list when using the Giant Frying Pan
• Typing 'all' in the 'add how many' box on a container no longer adds items held by Grophs
• The new Omelets no longer give 100 health, that was a mistake

Gathering Quests (posted 6:40)

Gathering Quests (Sea Witch, Flat, Chef etc.) now show you how many of the items requested you own / have in your inventory when viewing your quest.

Greffle Racing News (posted 2:16)

It's summer time and the start of the 1112 Greffle Racing Season. As usual the new season brings changes to the lineups of many Noblegroph's racing stables. Top stories are the retirals of Melissabell, Tiki, Colchester and veteran failure Cookie. New entries this season include Felicity, Colonel, Krondor and Tiki's litter-mate Taki. In other news pundits are talking about the improving performance of fan-favorite Frosty, and also of Dasher and Bumble Bee. Good bets all. Word around the racing circuit points to a possible injury hampering the speed of Budgie however.

Alchemy Clues (posted 6:18)

Looking for Alchemy tips? The Wizard will now allow you to browse his shelves for tips (in fact if you fail to make something he'll even suggest it). The higher your level the more complex the recipes you might find clues on. I'm also adding more Alchemical clues (for your notebook) around the site as I go.

Quest Tracking and Progress (posted 13:07)

Quests have always been one of the biggest features on Grophland. Following clues, deciphering codes, fighting monsters, collecting items. Most of our fan sites cover one or more, and there is a whole forum dedicated to them. Last year we made the Quest system a little easier to follow by adding a summary of each quest to the Grophlopedia, but those summaries don't tell you which quests you are on, or help you when you are stuck.

No more! Now the Mysterious Fortune Teller is standing by with detailed clues and tracking for almost every quest (the others are either one step or will come soon). She can show you summaries of the quests you have already done, and also the ones you are in the middle of doing. She (or is it a he) will even give you clues of where to go next for the Quests you are in the middle of.

Look under the My menu.

Forum Notifications (posted 9:28)

As of today we are pleased to announce a totally new system for Forum notifications, pings, quotes, and subscribed threads. A new menu item, Notifiations, lets you see a list of every time you were pinged, quoted or a post was made on a subscribed thread. In addition the new notification settings (on the main Forum page or the Forum preferences) lets you chose whether or not to get an on-screen notification (and Grophmail) for each of these things. That's right, you can get an on-screen notification each time you are quoted if you wish.

For more details, see the General Forum

Leaf Brooches (posted 4:15)

Alice the Sage is pleased to announce that she is now selling an expanded selection of Leaf Brooches, now that summer is here.

Forum Preferences (posted 4:01)

The Forums now remember the collapsed / open state of the Forum Groups permanently, as opposed to forgetting every 24 hours.

The Grophland Wiki Needs You (posted 2:45)

We are very pleased to announce a new collaborative effort by a number of our members. The Grophland Wiki is a fan maintained site where you can edit your own articles on any aspect of Grophland, breeding, quests, spoilers, story, guilds, whatever you like. Unlike Grophland itself spoilers are fine, and detailed quest instructions are fair game.

To learn more visit this thread on our forums, or head straight to the wiki and get stuck in!
