Welcome to February! This month’s OotS coat is Morgan’s Star Cross Fox, which is now available for purchase along with its Serenade Staff and Ornate Horns. This set is available in the Out of the Shadows shop until the end of the day on February 28th, so if you intend to add one to your collection, be sure to pick it up before then!  The Mycenaissance January’s Mycenaissance raffle has been drawn, and the spotlight chosen! We’d like to once again thank Tsaiah for providing January’s prompt and helping to comment on submissions. Congratulations to all our winners! This month, we’d like to explore some of the peripheral figures in your character’s life. Their friends, their family, their mentor — tell us about the effect at least one other person has had on their life. February Raffle After holding several smaller raffles over the past couple of months, it’s finally time for the stakes to rise once again! February’s raffle will be a Sprout raffle, as is tradition around this time of year. More details will be available closer to the middle of the month - good luck to everyone who decides to enter! Winter Watch Ongoing The Winter Watch is ongoing through 23:59 ST on February 2nd! If you haven’t already, swing by the festival booths and enjoy the variety of activities for a new avatar background and the chance at a glowing changingshroom!
Custom Queue Changes We released several updates to our custom queue this month. Players familiar with the process may notice that the order forms for customs and sprouts has been reorganized. You are now able to select your desired level of involvement in the custom process! Also notable, there will now be a one gem deposit required on the first custom or sprout order an account creates. Once the new pet is delivered, the gem will be refunded and the player will not be subject to the deposit again! Check out the original announcement for a full list of changes made! BBCode Guide Revamp & Updates Our BBCode guide has been revamped! There have also been a few updates to our BBCode arsenal - for example, images contained within spoilers will now only load when you open the spoiler (save your precious data, mobile users!), and it is now possible to ping someone in a quote! The full list of updates can be found in this post. Kelph Item Compatibility We are continuing to work on making more of our old items compatible with the Kelphi! As a reminder, item compatibility can be determined based on which icons are displayed in the upper right hand corner next to the item image. Keep an eye out for more icons labeled with the Kelph bubble over the next few weeks!
A Staff Goodbye Due to the demands of her exciting career, Juney has decided to step down from her staff position so that she can give it her full dedication. She’s been a huge asset to our team over the years, and her analytical contributions will be sorely missed, but we wish her the best in her professional ventures. Thank you for everything you’ve contributed to Mycena Cave, Juney! You’ve been an invaluable member of the team! ...And a Staff Welcome For the past few weeks, priz has been hard at work with her mentors to become a full member of the staff team. We are thrilled to announce that she has officially concluded her trial period, and is joining the ranks of the staff artists! You will begin to see her work in the custom and sprout queues as well as around site. You can also now add her to your custom orders, and she will be automatically added to orders which have all the artists selected! Please join us in congratulating priz — we can’t wait to see what beautiful art you contribute to Mycena Cave!  And finally… Our Valentine holiday shop will be returning once again as we get closer to the 14th. Peent will be bringing back our old favorites, as well as a couple of new additions!

I noticed that little bubble that designates the item as kelph compatible isn’t there on the items that have been updated. Below is a list of the new kelph compatible items! I’ll get the icons updated at some point today. Also, a few of the items below have also been reworked so that they are visible in the avatar now. :)
Edit: And it also seems at least some of them aren’t previewing in the puddle so I need to investigate that too. :|

>...> I am so here for Peent’s new lovely items. I can’t wait. Just curious, I’m wondering if there will be a new analyst now that Juney is leaving? Though I’m not sure what all exactly she has done, but that seems a lot to simply be picked up by other staff who have other jobs.

raus We don’t have any immediate plans to look for someone who could do what she did, though we would likely welcome anyone who could do a fraction of what she did for us. I honestly seriously doubt if we could find someone else like her — she really carved out her own niche and spent countless hours analyzing data for us in ways I never knew possible. I can’t stress enough that we were very lucky to have her attention for the amount of time that we did. :)

Sorry to ping you both, but a question just came up in chat-will this sprout raffle be like last year’s where there was only one sprout per geness (unlike the older model where if one person owned the geness there would be one sprout and if two or more people owned the geness there would be two sprouts)?

Sorry if this has been asked, but will the raffle be for one sprout? *honestly can’t remember how many winners last year’s sprout raffle had… Juney D= I’m having conflicting emotions! I’m so sorry to see you leaving, BUT I’m so thrilled to hear your new career is taking off so well! Wishing you the best of everything in your new adventures ^^ priz Congrats on becoming official! I look foward to seeing your customs and sprouts =)

OregonCoast It’s not just for one! Last year had 7 winners total. Not sure how many this year will have but it should definitely be more than one! :) And thank you to everyone! <3 I can’t wait to start doing more customs and items around site! (and if you have an existing custom order and have anyone deselected be sure to add me if you want me on your order! :3c)

Ahhh, Juney, I’m so proud of you! Over the years I’ve seen the dedication you’ve put into both your education & now career. I know you also put a lot of work into this site, & while we’re much busier people now, we’ll always have love for this cave! I’m hoping this will free up some time for you, I know you’ve always been a busy woman.
