Novilar News

It is the time for snow and fun, if you are the Bear Guardian that is! It is now officially the Festival of the Bear, and that means another year of Gift of the Bear! Everyday, log-in to check the advent calendar and collect your goodies! I hear some new items have been snuck in also 😉.

  

We are happy to announce that starting today, normal Paintbrushes are now 1 Crystal. Deluxe Paintbrushes are now 5 Crystals instead of 10 Crystals, and Crystal Paintbrushes are now 10 Crystals instead of 15 Crystals. This makes creating and submitting skins much more affortable and enjoyable. Go to the Crystal Exchange to get your Paintbrushes today!

Novilar is actively seeking an artist to join our staff. 🖌🎨

 If you feel you can produce art that matches our style, in a timely matter, we would love to hear from you. This is a paid position, part-time in nature, but with things looking up, potientially full time in the near future. If you are interested, please send us an email at contact@novilar.com with your portfolio or previous work, what you are looking to be paid, and your availability. We would love to chat with you!

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!

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.
