Vendor guild stock restocks weekly
- Village and limited guild supply for Shopkeepers and Merchants now refreshes every Sunday at midnight Eastern — the same slot as the Peddler Village Shop restock — so offerings stay fresh all month.

- Guide: Vending → Vending Cycle.
August 4, 2026
Companion marketplace, images & retirement — guide update
- Documented what happens to pets and mounts when a character is deleted or a member leaves: companions are posted on the stable marketplace for other players to buy, not removed from the game. Guide: Pets → Leaving, the Marketplace & Retirement.
- Custom companion images are cleared when a companion is listed (including automatic listings on leave or character delete). The default species icon is shown until a new owner uploads their own art.
- There is no player command to permanently delete a pet or mount. Contact mods before leaving or deleting a character if you need one removed; mods may decline for rare or limited companions. Companions already purchased by someone else are not taken back.
- Companions that stay on the marketplace without a buyer for a long time (about six months for most everyday companions) eventually retire and are no longer for sale. Rare, limited, and event companions may stay listed longer.
- Also updated Stables → Leaving & Retirement and the Discord data-export page.
August 1, 2026
RP quest travel lock — check before you join
- For some non–plot-related RP quests, the mod team may choose whether participants are travel locked (must stay in a pledged village) or not — it varies by quest.
- Always read the quest details before you sign up so you know whether leaving the village will disqualify you. See Events & Quests.
July 28, 2026
Old Map Status tracker & finite charts
- New dashboard page Old Map Status (World) — see which of the 46 charts have been found, appraised, or used, and who currently holds them.
- Destinations and coordinates stay private on the tracker until a map has been used (claimed). Unfound maps show only the Map #.
- Once a Map # is used at its destination, that number leaves the find pool and will not drop again from exploration, ruins, or chests. Appraised-but-unused charts can still be found by others.
- Includes a glossary of status terms (Not found, Unidentified, Appraised, Used, and more). See Old Maps → Glossary.

Art gallery & manage your submission tags
- New public Art Gallery on the website — browse approved community art submissions and filter by artist or tagged character.
- On the dashboard, open Profile → Submissions to review your art and writing submissions and add or edit character tags you missed. Tagging later does not change tokens or boosts.
July 23, 2026
Help Wanted quest archive on the dashboard
- New Help Wanted page under World data — browse completed village Help Wanted quests and expired ones nobody finished. Today's active board stays hidden until midnight Eastern.
- Search and filter by village, quest type, NPC, or status. Each entry shows the full NPC request, who completed it (when applicable), and character-guess clues including the zoomed likeness.
July 19, 2026
Stablehand training is more forgiving
- Only a natural 1 now fails to make progress during
/stable train. Rolls 2–14 grant +1 session, 15–19 grant +2, and a natural 20 grants +1. - Training supplies and the boarder's daily training slot are still used on a natural 1. See Mounts and Stablehands.

July 16, 2026
Trading board — find items & swap with other members
- New dashboard Trading board under Community: post what you're looking for and what you're offering, with notes if you need them.
- Other members can respond with an OC that has what you want. You accept or deny each response — accepting swaps the items automatically when both characters are in the same village.
- Offers also show up on the community board so it's easier to find trades without pinging people cold.
July 14, 2026
Member lore submissions are back
- Submit original world lore from the dashboard Member Submitted Lore page — title, village/category tags, optional image, then send it for review. You’re credited under your Discord name.
- Once approved, your entry appears on the public Member Lore page with your name credited.
July 13, 2026
Move lots of items between your OCs at once
- On the dashboard Inventories → Transfer page, you can now pick many items in one go instead of sending them one at a time.
- Pick who is giving and who is getting, tap the stuff you want to move, set how many of each, then hit transfer — boom, they’re all moved together.
- You can still only move items between your own characters, and equipped gear stays put (same as before).
July 13, 2026
Gather, loot & Job Vouchers from My OCs
- On My OCs, approved characters show whether today's gather/loot daily roll is ready or USED TODAY! (shared slot; resets 8 AM Eastern).
- Roll Gather and/or Loot there when your OC's job (or active voucher job) has those perks — same rules as Discord. Successful rolls still post to that village's Town Hall.
- Activate or cancel Job Vouchers from the same card for gathering and looting jobs only (including stacked quantity 2–5). Other voucher jobs still use Discord
/item//cancelvoucher. - Guides updated: Jobs & Vouchers, Gathering, and Looting.
July 13, 2026
Character aliases — Name: text in RP channels
- On your character edit page you can turn on Allow aliases (off by default). When enabled, type
Your OC Name: helloorYour OC Name:helloin Discord and Tinglebot posts as that OC (name + icon). Letter case does not matter. - For multi-word names, the first name also works (e.g. Tingle Bot →
Tingle: hello) — only for OCs you own, and only if that first name isn’t shared by another of your aliased OCs. - Works in any server channel (and threads) where the bot can use webhooks. Alias posts in RP quest threads still count toward your RP post requirement.
- Details: Character Aliases. Tupperbox remains available for custom brackets and autoproxy.
- On your character edit page you can turn on Allow aliases (off by default). When enabled, type
July 12, 2026

Buy and sell at Village Shops from the dashboard
- You can shop Village Shops on the dashboard now — same rules as Discord
/economy shop-buyand/economy shop-sell. Purchases and sales still post to the community board. - To buy: open Village Shops, pick a character, check your token balance, and buy stocked items.
- To sell: open Inventories → All Items. Use Sell on a row to sell one stack, or Mass sell to sell many listings from one character at once (up to 40).

- You can shop Village Shops on the dashboard now — same rules as Discord
July 10, 2026
Suggestions & Feedback — mechanic feedback tab
- The Suggestion Box is now Suggestions & Feedback on the dashboard. Use the Suggestions tab for general server ideas — same categories and anonymous Discord posting as before.
- The new Mechanic Feedback tab is for structured feedback on a specific mechanic or job perk. Pick the mechanic, then fill in What you like, What you don't like, and Suggestions to improve. Vague venting (e.g. "it's not fun") isn't the goal — mods may ignore or delete non-productive submissions.
- You can open feedback for a specific mechanic directly — for example Boosting, or pick any other mechanic on that tab. Old Mechanic Feedback page links still open the same form.
July 10, 2026
Fortune Teller gathering — Prophesied Harvest
- Fortune Teller — Gathering is now Prophesied Harvest (replaces Rarity Reversal). When you request the boost, you name the harvest the teller foretells — e.g. a Farmer might ask for Hydromelon. The booster only accepts or declines; they do not choose the item.
- Target and booster must be in the same village. The named harvest must fit your job's table for your current village — use
itemon/boosting requestor the Named harvest dropdown on dashboard Healing & Boosts. - Gather in the village where that harvest is destined (shown on the boost message) and your next
/gatherwith the boost is a guaranteed haul of that item. In the wrong village, you still gather normally. - Guides updated on Boosting and Gathering.
July 7, 2026
Search salvageable items by the materials they drop
- Added a Salvaging search tab on the Inventories page. Pick the materials you want and it shows every weapon or piece of gear you'd have to salvage to get them.
- Use Match any to see items that drop at least one of your chosen materials, or Match all for items that drop every one.
- Filter results by name, category, and salvage stamina cost. Each result lists the item's full salvage yields so you know what breaking it down with
/salvaginggives you.
July 5, 2026
100 tokens for bug reports & wishlist suggestions
- When a mod reacts with a checkmark (✅/☑️) or ❌ on your message in #bot-reports, Tinglebot awards 100 tokens and replies: *Thank you for reporting this! Here's 100 tokens.*
- The same 100 token reward applies in #bot-wishlist when staff marks your suggestion implemented or declined — you'll still get the usual status reply plus the thank-you message.
- Each post is rewarded once; extra mod reactions on the same message won't pay out again.
July 5, 2026
Community Table Unlocks
- Suggest and vote on dashboard Models → Villages — log in with Discord, open Suggest item, and submit Village, Job, and Item (one per suggestion). See Community Table Unlocks for the full workflow.
- Pick any catalog item by name — you are voting to add it to that job's gathering or crafting table when the village levels up.
- Vote on the same page (one vote per Discord account per item). Top 2 per village apply at Level 2; at Level 3, the next 3 highest-voted items not already added apply (5 total). Picks revert if the village drops below that level.
- When a village levels up, Tinglebot's town hall announcement lists which community picks were added to which job/gathering tables.
July 5, 2026
Clearer village token goals on website
- The Village Upgrades guide now leads with a token goals table: 10,000 Tokens for Level 2 and 50,000 for Level 3, plus per-donation caps and reset behavior.

June 30, 2026
Brew elixirs on the dashboard
- Witches can brew mixer elixirs from the dashboard — Community → Brew Elixirs (
/brew) — with a step-by-step wizard: pick OC, elixir, critter, monster part, and up to 3 optional extras. - Same rules as

- Updated the Elixirs and Crafting guides with the dashboard option.

June 29, 2026
Boosting: same-OC vs same-owner rules
- Fixed boosting so same-character self-boosts are blocked (Tingle cannot boost Tingle) while same-owner OC-to-OC boosts are allowed (Tingle can boost Ankle).
- When both OCs belong to you, the booster must permanently have the boosting job — Job Vouchers no longer work for same-owner boosts; another player's OC can still boost you via voucher.
- Active boosts that violate these rules are cancelled automatically; request, accept, and effect lookup all enforce the rules.
- Added Same-Owner Boosts on the Boosting page with Tingle/Ankle examples; dashboard boost form shows a warning when applicable.
June 29, 2026
Former members' pets & mounts listed on the stable marketplace
- When a member leaves or is kicked from the server, their characters' active and stored pets and mounts are automatically listed for sale in the stable marketplace instead of being deleted.
- Listed companions move into stable escrow so stablehands can still care for and train them in village yards.
- Marketplace purchases from these listings now complete correctly — sale proceeds are not credited to the former member (their account is already gone).
- Leave cleanup is hardened: atomic listing with rollback on failure, repair of half-finished listings, legacy mount matching, and pets/mounts are kept (not deleted) if listing fails.
- Applies on immediate leave/kick cleanup, startup orphan sweep, and a startup repair pass for older escrow listings.
June 28, 2026
