    Some specific things to note:

    1) The 4/1 specific content has not been activatetd, yet. That will be activated a bit later. For now I just wanted the base event tested.
    2) The jester's Gardens have a chance of spawning on top of the Brewday bushes, but that won't happen on live, as the events will not both be active at the same time.

    Thank you!

    Will Berry Meatbeasts return this year?
  4. Kaitheel Developer

    I don't see why not. Didn't they return last year with the event, or is my memory off?

    I am hitting event burnout, but that's neither here nor there.

    I only see 6 new buyables - what am I missing?
    • A Scaleripper Wall Trophy
    • Hand Painted Map of Rivervale (drool)
    • Rivervale Bramble Door (MORE drool)
    • Silly Glow Skimmer
    • Picklaw Varmint Illusion
    • Merrymakers Minstrel Crown(new?)

    The Merrymakers Minstrel Crown was new last year, if I am not mistaken.

    There are two new plushies this year, to add to your list:
    • Jocular Patchcraft Snapper Plushie
    • Jovial Patchcraft Howler Plushie

    That happens every spring. Brewday, Chronoportals, & Bristlebane Day all run into each other making March a spectacular blur.

    Yes, the berry-fed meatbeast was available last year. I helped a friend hunt one down.

    Also, HUZZAH for the other two patchworks! I shall have them all in my halfling home!

    Crafting - Bugs:

    3 of the items that are made on the work bench are using sandper. (Should be coal if work bench)
    • druid ring betting tiles - sandpaper
    • jester's emerald cordon - sandpaper
    • tower-stacked betting tiles - sandpaper
    Recipe for Jester's Emerald Cordon is returning the Jester's Golden Cordon instead.

    Crafting - Cosmetic:
    The "Halfling Tool Rack" looks great, but the default size is a bit big for halfling-sized hands. I had to max shrink it for the tools to be halfling-ish, and it still feels more suited to my high elf, size wise :)

    Halfling Work Bench previews and places facing away from you.

    Rivervale Blanket Rack defaults to something that is even a bit small for a halfling - it enlarges nicely, so it isn't insurmountable. :)

    I love, love, LOVE some of this new stuff. How dare you ruin my grumpy redhead mood! :p

    Nevermind, for some reason the boomer effect wasn't working in EL ... it is working now.

    I wasn't aware of them returning, and many many beastlords have asked me about mine. It would be wonderful to have those berry cuties back for beastlords that didn't get them before. :)

    Those betting tiles used for the druid ring and tower are totally awesome! Great job! (And many other great items! Love love love!).

    Any way we could have a single tile as an option? Soooo many possibilities.. :)

    Thank you mum!

    (Suggestion for the fireworks screenshots. Stick the firework in your primary hotbar, slot 1. Toggle off your UI. Now you can hit 1 to set off the firework, and immediately hit print screen to get the screenshots.)

    The Confetti Boomers should look and act a lot better if you target another person with 'em!

    Thanks for all of the help!

    I've got the following changes headed your way:
    • The recipe for Jester's Emerald Cordon now creates the intended item.
    • The following recipes now use Basic Coal as a fuel component:
      • Brilliant Bristlebanesque Banner
      • Druid Ring Betting Tiles
      • Jester's Emerald Cordon
      • Jester's Golden Cordon
      • Jester's Golden Streamer
      • Pile of Fools Gold
      • Stack of Gold Bars
      • Strand of Bristlebanesque Lights
      • Tower-Stacked Betting Tiles
    • Halfling Tool Rack - Default size is now more appropriately halfling-sized.
    • Rustic Rivervale Blanket Rack - Default size is now more appropriately halfling-sized.
    I don't know when they will be on Test, but they should be included with the update notes at that time.

    o sandpaper is used on a workbench more often , like for example when you clean the fossils for your leaper mount
