Solarian Insider - March 1st 2023 

Greetings Solarians!

I'm William Davies, the newest journalist on the block bringing you the latest information, gossip, and entertainment when you need it most! I'll be here posting twice a month with all the newest info I can find to help you out in Solaria! 

Affinity Faire Conclusion

Solaria has been full of buzz these past weeks with the event Affinity Faire being live! We have seen countless potions being created, and some being tampered with, in order to help the friendly bots down at the Potion Emporium to recreate their lost potions. So many of you have helped them out, however only one of the bots was able to create their potion with the help of the community. Whilst we are still hearing from our on-field reporters as to which bot won, we will let you know as soon as we do on this news post!

As always, once the final potions have been calculated, the Potion Emporium Shop will stay open for an additional 3 days to help you with any final purchases you may have. During these three days, the new potion (either Gus' or Sug's potion) will be added for purchase for 50HC, a random junk piece for 1HC, and a free adoptable raffle ticket, which will be one-per-person and rolled on the final day the quest hub/shop will be. We will update you here as well when we have more information on the subject!

Achievements for the event will be handed out after all quests have been rolled for. Please allow us up to 5 days to send your achievements for this event. After this time, if you still do not have the achievement on your profile, please submit a claim as you could have been missed. 

The winners for the Quad Trinket Raffle, Rex's Triplet Breeding Raffle, and Shade's Twin Breeding Raffle will be rolled and announced after the final affinity faire prompt has been judged.

At the end of the event, we will be posting a feedback form on our Discord Group with a credit, beast badge, or book token reward for answering it!

Serah's Sketches - March Badge is now live!

It seems that Serah has a new task for you in the Community Hall for you to earn either a Stasis Egg or Mana Soul Tears to help you go towards making an infamous Glowing Stasis Egg! This task has been posted in the Community Hall with an end date of the 31st of March, giving you plenty of time to be able to take part. Just like last month, this quest is only once per account according to the poster in the Community Hall; so why not pop over there, give it a look, and see if you are up for the task?

Each Serah's Sketches quest will receive a new achievement as well on top of the choice reward!

Word is also in that the winner of February's Super Star Award goes to 
PENGU! 

Congratulations!

Job Board Updates

I've been hearing reports that the Job Board is set to be re-opening sometime near the end of March, with the renovations changing the way Jobs are handed out. From these reports, we have discovered that Job Board quests will be becoming once-per-account, per 24 hours due to how much easier these jobs will become to complete, with smaller tasks. The rewards will also be changing, with the unique items staying as a possible reward with the addition of a few new ones as well! It's an exciting time to be looking for new work this month indeed!

Blessings and Curses Update

At this moment in time, whilst we are seeing some lucky, or unlucky in some cases, characters obtaining a blessing or a curse, we do not yet know how to have this power granted! The biotechnicians in Manabane are working hard to discover how and why these random occurrences seem to happen and we will let you know as soon as they find any leads in the case! They forecast some sort of update at the end of March/beginning of April. 

Kiamara/Dromedairy Exchange

Some Lost Kias and Droma need additional help when it comes to wandering around these lands. As a former Rift-Jumper-Turned-Settler myself, it certainly is a lot to come to terms with! Some others out there feel the same, and so Maisie at the Job Board is working on an exchange programme where a user can send in a Kiamara or a Dromedairy and receive some rewards in return, with the characters that were handed into the exchange being obtainable from the Exchange Shoppe. Currently, Maisie aims to get this exchange programme up and running for April! 

Community Vote

March will also bring the first Community Vote event where you Rifties will get to decide on an item that will be integrated into Solaria. Best of all? You get to design it! We will be opening applications soon, where you'll be able to submit an item idea. The winner will get their item added to the site with a recipe, with the original concept holder being rewarded with some amazing prizes should they win! 

That's all, folks!
Join me in the next edition of the Solarian Insider!

As always, any questions can be posted in response to this article, over on our Discord, or anonymous box!
