Also, you can now remove a submission to a contest at any time, making it possible to then re-submit another submission.

With exploration being a huge part of Novilar, we are proud to announce that it just got a facelift. Now when you explore, you will have an improved view, the ability to purify corrupted pets without leaving the exploration interface, and an overall nicer mobile experience if you happen to use your phone!

This update is designed to allow us to prepare the path towards even more interesting future features (a-la battling maybe?), so stay tuned, and remember to explore!

Last month we had a wonderful turnout for our contests we run regularly. We are hoping for even a bigger turnout for October! If you have not submitted a pet, or your avatar, now is the time! If you are artistic and creative, why not submit a skin?

September 2018 Winners:

• Best Dressed Pet: sWicked owned by BlueRoanie!
• Avatar Showcase: Solariatigra
• Skin of the Month: GrayEmber

We will be rewarding the prizes shortly to the winners, and look forward to seeing the awesome submissions coming in October!

The Cackling Witch has appeared, and is asking for any and all explorers and adventurers to help her aquire some "Materials" for her sorcery. In return, it is said she is giving away great little bags full of interesting food items that are only available this month. These items, it is said offer unique limited-time boons to aid in exploration. Care to collect all 10 unique items.

She asks for a new materi... minipet every 3 hours, so there are plenty of chances to participate, although you can only participate once per day.

For those too impatient or connected to their Materia..Minipets, you can find these bags for sale for crystals in the Festival Stall as well.

Please welcome our new Community Moderation Team!

In order to support what will be a growing site, a few weeks ago we asked for applications. In response we have chosen two individuals who we feel are the perfect additions to our moderation team. Welcome Owl and Antimoany, who will join Petraea. Their job is to help players that are new the game, as well as bring some awesome new community powered events and fun.

They will also be working with me to increase communication of changes to the site, as well as promote it in a way to draw in new users. I look forward to growing Novilar with them.

Please note, if you submitted an application and were not chosen -- your application has not been discarded, as the site grows, your application will be considered.

Delve into the Jungle - In Style!
For a short time (i.e. this month), the Explorers outfit is available in the Festival Shop! This avatar outfit is designed to not only look good, but make sure you can navigate those vines comfortably. Durability guaranteed, and a major must-have for this Festival of the Snake.

We have released previous Patreon rewards into the Crystal Shop!
The decision has been made to release all previous Patreon only rewards to the Crystal Shop. This decision is to allow them to be obtained by the current player base. By releasing them as Crystal purchases, they retain their rare factor, while still being able to be obtained by players. We feel this is the in the best interests of the currently active player base, and it allows these wonderful assets to be used. Over time these items will be fully retired, but we wanted to give everyone a little chance to get them before we did so.
