All contests for this month have a deadline of 11:59:59pm Novilar Time on March 24th, 2020.

Congratulations to our raffle winner Salazzle who has won the Mythic Cat Totem! 
 

We would like to thank all of those who had participated and wish you all luck in future raffles. :) 

When exploring, players no longer need to click on an item they encounter to collect it. 

This change has been put in place to make things a little less tedious when adventuring around Novilar.

Happy hunting!

Regular players now get 3 step regeneration per 5 minutes, those players who have professions that increase step regeneration still get a +1 to this (4).

Subscribers now get a +4 to normal step regeneration.

It is hoped this will help keep players entertained while we work on adding more features to the site.

Pets can now have spaces and special characters in their names!

This change will hopefully make your lives easier with regards to giving your pets the fancy names they deserve!

A subtle, yet useful change has been made to the crafting system!

When using the recipe book to craft items, you will be brought back to the page that particular recipe was on, rather than being bumped back to page one every time you craft an item. While this change is not a big one, it is hoped that it will save players a little bit of time and a lot of aggrivation.

Enjoy!

Max Energy Bars (items that replenish all of your steps and can be found in the crystal exchange) have been reduced in price from three crystals to one crystal.

The other two energy bars, that replenish 50 and 25 steps  have been removed from the crystal shop for now, but may return on other parts of the site at a later date. 

This is the first step in some price restructuring that will likely be going on over the next few months.

Have fun getting out there and exploring!

Come one and come all! The staff is holding a contest to celebrate the month of February and what better way to celebrate than to hold a contest!

All you need to do is design a cat in Pet Demo for a chance to win a Mythical Cat Totem. Yes, you heard us right, a Mythical Cat Totem! If you would like to win this beauty please enter now, the deadline is February 28th 0:00 Novilar time.

The contest can be found in the forum under Contest & Giveaways or by clicking the image below. 

Crafting equipment in the alchemy lab no longer has a cooldown time!

We decided to make this change because players are already somewhat limited in crafting by the volume of items they can scavange and buy in a day, it was felt that we did not need to limit you further. 

That said, if you happen to spam the craft button rather than waiting for the page to load between clicks, you may find that you are not getting all the experience points you should, so please wait for the page to load between clicks.

On another note, the small temporal rift that has been plauging Novilar for quite some time has finally been repaired - meaning that announcements and notifications will now show the correct amount of time has passed since the event occurred. :)
