The Book and Clothes Quests have received balancing updates! 📢

Prompted by careful consideration and research, the newest PAB (Publish-A-Book) entries will now be excluded from quests. This change comes as a result of recognizing the unintended consequences of these books on inflation and, more importantly, how they have affected the spirit of the PAB contest. 

We want to refocus on celebrating player stories and their creativity, rather than for quest rewards and profit. Thanks for your understanding as we preserve the spirit of the contest. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause, and will be further improving the profitability of other quests to help balance this change.

As an evolving system, you can expect the prices and rarity of the latest PAB books to stabilize when new series are released. Consequently, older PAB books, those not part of the newest batch, will become sought after in the Book Quest. This creates a dynamic cycle where book availability and demand change with each new series of PAB books.

Speaking of celebrating past PAB winners, 

Book Bargains will now be stocking all previous publications! 

We found it quite a shame that they were lost to times long gone and separated from the other PAB books in this way.

These books are:

PAB Honorable Mentions: Volumes 1-5, Out of Life (removed from VGB), Amber Eyes, The First Easero, Campfire Stories and Zenirix's First Winter

Including an unfortunate mistake we discovered, where a PAB winner's book was regrettably never published!

Please give a reinvigorating round of congratulations our late winner from 2015, Leo:

"Unforgettable Wonders"

(Note: This 'new' book, Unforgettable Wonders, will not be asked for in the Book Quest until the next series of PAB releases new published books. Once that time comes, as per the statement above, expect the price and rarity to shift accordingly.)

New 'How to Hatch' books have been permanently added to Book Bargains!

(Left to right: Viarindi, Cetari, Feiron, Guilbyss, RSTU, Planet Iubui, Wyrae, Eleodon)

The Murren, Ezahni and Shaefu editions have also received a revamp.

(Reminder: All of these newly-added books, including the old PABs, will have their purchases limited and will not be asked for in the Book Quest for 1 week.)

Additional quest updates:

Based on these recent announcements, we'll also be adjusting some of the Book Bargain's and Fashion Galore's prices, rarities and stock.

- Rarities of many books are now adjusted to be more cohesive based on certain factors. For ex: How to Hatch books of more common creatu are now set at Common rarity.

(The changes below will be in effect in 3 days.) 👇

The 3-day "Additional Quest Updates" are now in effect!

- All regularly stocked PAB books adjusted to Common rarity and prices lowered to 15,000 tu: Ancient Scroll of Spring, For the Love of Creatu, Haunted Houses of Reiflem, Gold Stardust and the Cyid, The Desert on Atquati, Ancient Bones, Stargazing with Galta.

- The price of A Springs Journey increased from 100,000 tu to 500,000 tu and rarity changed to Very Rare.

- The prices of Wyrae Volumes One and Two increased from ~50,000 tu to 150,000 tu and Volume One changed to Rare.

- The prices of the MP3 Players to be reduced (roughly in half) to balance the Clothes Quest now that all 5 can be asked for in the quest. Blackgold will be 3,000,000 tu. Silver at 2,000,000 tu. Blue, Green and Pink at 1,500,000 tu.

- Pride Tank Tops reduced from 1,000,000 tu to 500,000 tu.

(Further adjustments may be made in the future, with warning.)
