Hello wonderful residents of Kyvalore!
It’s time for the monthly rollover and with that, new quests have been posted!
Not only that, but we’ve got some general maintenance updates, as well as some new content!


First off for general maintenance, I want to announce that requirements for prompts and such have been adjusted so the base requirements are lower for submitting prompts.
I think this will help the flexibility of everyone's busy schedules, while also letting players still participate in the location prompts.

With that I also want to say that we are working on being stricter on what each tier of requirements entail. There have been several prompts that either don't meet requirements, don't follow the shard breakdown guide, or do not seem to follow the topic of the quest in a clear manner that we felt it would be helpful to both mods and players if we had stricter guidelines as to what the minimum was for things.

Shard counts have also gotten a minor adjustment to help further balance the system.


Now for more fun topics!

I have recruited some Guest Artists for Painted Relics!
You will be seeing some designs made by other artists, for this month there will be a design by a guest artist posted each sunday at noon PST!


As always, Rhea’s Scavenging Shop’s stock has changed! She found some nice goods while traveling around last month!
Athalie also seems to have gotten some new pet eggs in her shop!

Each month going forward there will now be a gift art raffle!
Draw gift art for another player of Painted Relics and receive a ticket into a raffle that will be drawn at the end of the month. Please make sure the character you are drawing giftart for has ‘giftart allowed’ turned ON on their profile. Otherwise it will not count!
You can enter up to twice a month!

August’s prize is a MYO Voxibell slot and will be drawn at the end of the month!

Another fun addition to Painted Relics is permanent referral bonuses!
Eventually this will be more organized than just a page, but this is the easiest way for us to handle it at the moment!

https://painted-relics.com/info/Referral

Each referral will earn a player a small handful of shards, along with tiered badges that you get for referring more players.



Copper Friendship Badge - 1st Referral!
Silver Friendship Badge - 10th Referral!
Gold Friendship Badge - 25th Referral!

And lastly for standard Painted Relics updates is that there is a new addition to the main page!

You’ll now find a Featured Character section!
This character is chosen _randomly_ from all characters on the masterlist each month! If that character has giftart turned ON you can claim an extra 5 shard bonus to your quests if they are included!
