Okay, changes to the contests have been made ... for more details see the thread on Groph Stats on General
The ruins bug is finally fixed! Your grophs should no longer appear to be bored of it when you have not even been there.
As announced recently contests are going to have yet another upgrade (we will get it right soon we promise). As this upgrade will change the way in which contest XP is calculated, as well as the price to open them, we are suspending the opening of new contests.
Some of you may be pleased to see this ...

Another link has been added to a Groph's lookup page. This lists all their items (except weapons) and their bonuses, and allows you to sort them by bonus.
This item goes to Pearl for solving the forest puzzle first

I've been working away on the Alchemical Notebook today. It can now go in a crate without losing it's contents, and it also records any successful recipies you make with the Wizard as you make them.
I have also been working hard on adding more clues for you to find, hidden around the site as usual.
Even though David and Victoria are off on holiday the rest of the Wizards and Moderators are still here, so feel free to contact them as always for help.
Victoria and David will be on holiday for the next four days ... back on Tuesday
Need clues for what to do with the Wizard? This notebook is the right place to collect them.

The features forum is open again! This month's theme is forest items BUT only the 14 best will be accepted. Please read the sticky to see what sort of items are appropriate.
It appears that when the Golden Jungle Robe was added it accidentally replaced the Dark Grey Kimono, now all the kimonos everyone has have turned into Golden Jungle Robes! Sorry about that. We have added the Kimono all over again now.

Today marks the end of the quarterly general meeting of the Greffle Stable Owners' Guild, and with it comes the usual crop of hot Greffle racing news.
In the wake of recent poor performances, commontators are asking if Tureen has past his peak. Recent reports suggest he is a less certain bet than he used to be. The same seems to be true of fellow Mux-Stables champion Cherry, who had a bad fall at the recent Jungletown Hurdles event and seems to have sprained an ankle.
The Royal racemaster today announced the early retiral of all round champion Apollo, who will be joining the ranks of the King's stud Greffles from the end of this week. We say, good luck Apollo! Appolo will be replaced in the King's racing lineup by Agamemnon, winner of last years' pup event. Another notable change in lineup is the substitution of newcomer Melissabell for old favourite Melinda.
Finally from the Stable Owners' meeting we have the news that long term placer Moonstone has left the Champion's league after accusations of match-fixing! More detail on this story is not expected until the King conducts his quarterly assizes.
In other racing news changes to the going at the main Greffle course outside the Castle keep are thought to be favouring those with high stamina less than they used to.
The forest tramp seems to have come up with some new bits of junk today.

As it becomes more used it is clear that the Ice Shield is more powerful than at first thought. For this reason its healing has been reduced from 7 points to 6
A few changes have been made to various containers. Crates now sort their contents alphabetically (instead of in order by item creation date) and there are empty buttons in crates, vases, chests, racks, mantles, sacks, gem cases, and so forth that remove all contents in one go.
