Redrawing of clothing items (posted 4:02)

The Redrawing of clothing items is continuing. Many old favorites, like the flowers and the desert clothing have now been updated, along with oldies like the t-shirts. A few have had to be redrawn entirely, like the Monk's Robes, while others have just been smoothed. You should also see some of the item icons changing.

As always there is the chance that some items will not redraw correctly, or will produce issues when viewed on a Groph. If you see anything like that let us know.

A little experiment in hat design here. Tell me what you think

Aquaria Day is Coming (posted 8:34)

Aquaria Day is once again fast approaching. The Lord Aquaria contest is taking entries for just one more day, then the Lady Aquaria contest will open for entries. There are 13 exclusive titles given away for each contest. Do you have an Aqua Groph that could be a winner?

Away for the weekend (posted 3:54)

Victoria and I will be away till next Wednesday, so no payments will be processed at that point.

Dressing Room (posted 7:49)

Some exciting new changes have been made to the Groph Details page today, which should make it easier to dress and redress your Grophs. The list of currently worn clothing now has X links to let you quickly remove them. In addition a red tab with a + appears next to the Groph picture. Clicking it will open a dressing room window with all items currently in your inventory that this Groph can wear. Simply click an item to put it on the Groph.

Cloaks Redrawn (posted 3:21)

As of today almost all cloaks have been redrawn to have smooth outlines. A couple of contributed ones have not been done however.

Snail Maid (posted 1:18)

Never worry about feeding your Grophs again! The Snail Maid will take of it all for you! This charming minion will put together a meal for all of your Grophs at once, feeding them as close to full as possible with your existing food. Available today from your Mayor!

Dresses for all (posted 14:52)

With great thanks to nicknamedneko, some more wonderful dresses!

Farmer's Coats and Nobles Cloaks (posted 7:26)

Now you too can pull off a farmer impression, or, if that doesn't appeal, dress to impress.

Combat Rankings (posted 3:36)

At long last the confusing combat rankings (Master, Grand Master etc.) have been replaced by a numerical scale similar to that used in contests. Indeed a Rank 2 battler should be roughly at Rank 2 contest level as well.

All Grophs now show their combat rank at the bottom of their page with the rest of the battle information. Battle Ready Grophs also display this in a shield at the top of their page. You can also see the rank on your Battle ready page (which you can now access easily from the combat ready option on your Groph listing).

The Combat Rank also forms the core of the new Opponent Finder. Click on one of your Grophs and you will see Grophs of a similar Rank to yours available to challenge. We hope this will make it vastly easier to find Grophs to battle with.

Stay tuned for more changes ...

Battling changes (posted 11:16)

Some small changes have been made to the battle system today

• 0 damage shows up orange, not red
• Shields now have twice as much defence as before
• Armour now stops more damage than before (it stops it's value, plus a percentage of the damage)
• The Ice shield now heals for 8% of your damage plus the defence of your shield

Summer Cash store items (posted 10:23)

Summer is fully in swing, and so the Cash Store has restocked with some brand new items. These ones have a fishing theme, for spending a lazy day (or week) at one of Grophland's lovely fishing spots.

Black Falchion (posted 2:35)

The Black Falchion now inflicts plague on it's user less often. In addition the Plague inflicted on opponents does more damage, lasts longer and has a larger penalty to Strength and Agility.

Welcome to Dairy Day! (posted 0:14)

The sun is bright, the morning is clear, Dairy Day has begun! From all over the Mainland farmers are gathering to show their Dairy Snails and Collie Greffles, competing for prizes and acclaim. The mainland showgrounds are now open for business, packed with delicious ice cream and snail related goods.

Updates (posted 2:41)

Some updates today

• The Helpful Globboth can now look for items based on their subtype (e.g. flowers or fruit) or name as well as type.
• The Helpful Globboth should now intercept items from all sources except Grophmails and those created in containers
• Containers with a Globboth inside show an icon in your inventory
• A number of new recipes were added
• Per-Seco Distillate can now only be made using a Salamander Alchemist

Helpful Globoth (posted 7:54)

Possibly the oddest item we have ever created. The Helpful Globoth will sit inside one of your containers and catch passing items of the right type when you buy them. At the moment it only works with items purchased from the Grophland shops, but user shops will follow soon.

Minor updates (posted 1:49)

As of today the Froggle Chef, Mesarch Scribe and Salamander Alchemist will sometimes produce two of the item when making a recipe.

As of this week Dairy Snail pets will produce milk.

Pet care? (posted 10:33)

We aren't quite sure what this lot is for, but the Pet shop seems to be selling them.
