Ahoy Elyrians!
Our 2nd Kicktstarterversary promotion is going strong and as our store tracker has already announced, the community has achieved the first 5 milestones already, nicely done!
Keep going, you've sailed past 5 milestones in the first week, let's see how many you can unlock next! To carry you swiftly towards your goals, we've brought back a few favorites from the vault.
First, you unlocked the Otter Bear Cub, find it under Pets and Mounts in the store!
It's so adorable, it's easy to forget the monstrous strength it will one day possess.
The "squee" you're hearing isn't from the Otter Bear Cub. It's just the sound everyone makes when confronted with their nigh-lethal levels of cuteness. Your otter bear cub will grow up to be your big best friend, but with careful training, you might even teach the little cutie to act as your ride.
Note: This item is giftable.
The cute little otterbear cub won't be alone in the store. Joining them for a limited time is the return of the Foxcelot, Song Birds, and a brand new Hive item for those that either missed the Renewal Festival or want to increase the number of bee species they can breed.
The Foxcelot
Song Birds
Both of these are back, but 25% more expensive than before to thank those who snagged them on their first time in the store.
New: Colony Starter Kit
Much like on Earth, Elyrian fields and flowers are pollinated by bees. If you dream of being a renowned beekeeper in Elyria, then this is the package for you. You'll receive a hive box and beekeeper's gear, plus a random swarm of bees and their Queen. Bees increase germination and growth rates of plants in their area, and can provide other benefits depending on the species.
It wouldn't be an awesome Kickstarterversary if there weren't a few surprises. That's why these resilient and sturdy water transports have appeared in the store through the end of May!
Moving goods across Elyria is a complicated task even under the best conditions, but when it comes to moving the heaviest goods, the "best conditions" don't involve traditional wagons at all. The shrewd trader moves the heavy goods via the rivers and other waterways of Elyria, shipping goods that would break the axles of any mere wagon.
Note: This item is giftable.
But wait, that's not all! For the intrepid merchant, we've also added the following bundle; outrun thieves and brigands with help from these swift and furry friends.
For the up-and-coming trader, wagons are... you know... fine. But, when you're ready to take things to the next level, it's time to hit Elyria's waterways at the prow of your very own trade barge. Your rivals will watch in jealous awe as you float by, your goods-laden barge gliding across the water, towed behind your majestic Otterbear team.
Includes:
Note: The otterbears and barge inside this bundle are giftable, the otterbarge kit is not. To trade, wait for game launch.
