Changes

🥚Isomara Courtship - Egg Design

The passing of colors and markings to generate eggs from a courtship has been changed and expanded upon to grant more variation in potential offspring design
- You can find the new summarized and in-depth break down on the Isomara Courtship page
  - Previous/Old Egg Design Breakdown - Click to Reveal
    30% chance to have color and/or markings of parent A
    
    30% chance to have color and/or markings of parent B
    
    20% chance to have color and/or markings of both parents
    
    20% chance to have color and/or markings of neither parents

🦤 Memic & Blepper Traits

Separated out various traits, so no similarly visual trait has the same name between species
- Collar is for Memics, while Partlet is for Bleppers
- Circle Pads is for Memics, while Round Pads is for Bleppers
- Fluff Feathered is for Memics, while Fuzz Feathered is for Bleppers

🟢Trait Rarities

Back Leg Fins and Front Leg Fins for Isolings have been changed from the N/A rarity
- Having these traits set to N/A rarity could cause confusion during the MYO design process, as these two traits can become two different rarities depending on the isomara's wing type when an adult. We've decided to default these traits rarities to as if the isomara was to become a swimmer (small-winged) isomara. If the traits need to be updated when the isoling becomes an adult, that is fine.

🔷Trait Categories

Recategorized all special category traits to other trait categories
- You can see the changed in the trait index
- This was causing some confusion, as "special" was a trait rarity and trait category. Also, some special rarity traits were in other trait categories than the special trait category
- Special (Birth) will remain a trait category currently

🤠Equipment & Accessory Categories

Equipment, custom accessories, and official accessories now have subcategories based on where they normally would be adorned. This allows players to equip more equipment and accessories to their characters. Currently, there is a limit of one kind of equipment and accessory per character, this is to prevent characters overloading the same or too similar of items on a character for insane buffs. All current equipment and accessories have now the following added categories:

Equipment Category Name	Custom Accessory Categories	Official Accessory Categories
Miscellaneous	Miscellaneous	Miscellaneous
Carrying Cases	Head Gear	Head Gear
Containers	Eyewear	Eyewear
Fishing Gear	Neck Wear	Neckwear
Paw Tools	Upper Body	Upper Body
Musical Instruments	Lower Body	Lower Body
Toys	Jewelry	Jewelry
Throwables	Prosthetics	Charms
Multipurpose	Orthotics

🏝️ Exploration

Increased minimum word requirement to 500 per exploration (previously was 400)
Added FAQ section to bottom of the page

🥕 Hunger Mechanic

Increased hunger meter reduction when exploring from -10 to -20 HP per character
Increased hunger meter reduction when voyaging from -15 to -25 HP per character
Added "+1 additional chance to find a new item loot roll reward on voyaging submissions" as a new stuffed hunger buff
Altered buff and debuff text from "+/-#% chance of finding items. (Common, Uncommon, and Rare items all become more/less likely to be found while exploring)" to "+/-# additional item loot rolls rewards per each item on exploration submissions"
- How exploration reward rolls has changed since the site's creation and this was a remnant of the old script/code

📓Prompt Requirements

Added background requirements to the Night Shift Watch legacy prompt

🛍️ NPC Shops

Sand Dollars can now be purchased from Darwin's Exchange Center for Seashells,
Pacings' Shop no longer sells copper, silver, and gold,
Charlotte's Iron Emporium now sells copper, silver, gold, and obsidian,
Slay's Concessions now has Ultra Companion MYO Slots and Ultra Rare Isomara MYO Slots available to purchase with Queens Conches

🤢 Infliction/Ailments

Added "-1 loot roll to all items when exploring" as an effect of Joint Pain
Changed Dehydration effect from "Isomara will refuse to consume anything besides a cure." to:
- " -1 loot roll to all items when exploring"
- "Cannot explore the ocean or coral reef biomes"

🫧 Miscellaneous

Increased mushrooms needed for mushroom soup crafting recipe from 5 to 8
Mushroom soup now cures Dehydration and Frostbite
Goom Orbs have been changed from directly being a 1 to 1 Common Goom MYO Slot to being a loot table that when opened can either grant you a Common Goom MYO, Uncommon Goom MYO, or nothing.
- As goom orbs are a findable item and can be received in multiple different ways, we decided instead of nerfing the drop rates of Goom Orbs to give the ability to get a higher rarity goom MYO while also having the chance at no MYO.
- In lore gooms lay many eggs, some are empty and are meant to act as decoys to predators, and we wanted to reflect that
Hallows month is soon, use code AutumnArrival to receive some goodies
