🌿 Monthly Update: August
Hi everyone!
The mod team is officially back for August, and quests have returned! There’s also plenty worth knowing about ongoing balance changes, feedback options, and features you may have missed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌱 The Mod Team Is Back
Our July mod break has officially ended, and the team is back!
Thank you for giving us time to rest, catch up, and prepare for what’s ahead. Regular moderation and quest activity have resumed for August.
Quests will continue on a bimonthly schedule, running for two months at a time.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📋 Changelog: Stay Up to Date
We’ve added a Changelog page to the website so you can see what has changed without digging through Discord, announcements, or anything!
➜ New bot, dashboard, and site updates are posted as they ship
➜ Newest entries appear at the top
➜ Check here if something feels different or you missed an announcement

If you only read one link this month besides this post, make it that one.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ Ongoing Balance and Feedback
A few mechanics are still being tuned, especially Combat, Stables, and related systems. If something feels off, we may still be balancing it.
We would especially love structured feedback on Boosting as we look at a potential rebalance.
➜ Go to Dashboard → Community → Suggestions & Feedback → Mechanic Feedback
➜ Select Boosting
➜ Tell us what you like, what you don’t, what you would change, and which boosts you do or don’t use
🔗 https://tinglebot.xyz/suggestion-box?tab=feedback&mechanic=boosting
The same form is available for Combat, Stables, and other mechanics too.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💭 Website & Mechanics Chatter
We’ve also added a casual discussion thread for website features, mechanics, stats, and possible changes!
Sometimes we just want to ask what everyone thinks about an idea without making a formal poll or feedback form. This gives us one place to have those conversations without responses getting buried.
Feel free to share your thoughts whenever we post a question there. It does not have to be structured or super detailed, we just want to hear what y’all think!

📜 Member Lore Submissions
Member-submitted lore is live again, if you haven’t tried it yet!
➜ Submit lore through the dashboard:
https://tinglebot.xyz/member-lore
➜ View approved entries here:
https://www.rootsofthewild.com/world/member-lore
➜ Approved submissions credit you under your Discord name
Share original world lore with village tags, an optional image, and whatever else helps bring your idea to life. Mods will review each submission before it goes public.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🗳️ Community Table Unlocks
When villages level up, the community helps decide which items get added to job tables.
➜ Go to Dashboard → World Data → Villages → Suggest Item
➜ Select the Village and Job, then submit one item per suggestion
➜ Vote on suggestions from the same page
➜ Each Discord account gets one vote per item
➜ The top 2 items are added at Level 2
➜ At Level 3, the next 3 highest-voted items are added, for 5 total

If you’ve been wondering how to get something added to a gathering or crafting table, this is how!

🔔 New Opt-In Pings
Two new optional notification roles are available in #channel if you missed them.
➜ React with 🐴 for Mount Roundups
You’ll be pinged when a wild mount appears in a village Town Hall.
➜ React with 🎲 for Minigames
You’ll be pinged when a mod starts a RuuGame session.
No role means no ping. Only opt in if you want them!
