November Event - Whispering Ancestors

This month, a group of nomadic lion shamans have arrived from faraway lands to offer their services.

Humans aren't the only ones that believe ancestors are linked spiritually to the living. Some lions believe that, during a trance, they can speak to the spirits of those who have passed into the afterlife. You can gain Piety for the ancestors by doing deeds for the lion shamans. In return, you will be granted spiritual rewards. Your Piety might unlock something special, so make sure to respect the spirits, and they will provide. Alongside this, you can gather many herbs in Explore for crafting, nesting, quests, and for your battle beetles!

Visit the Shamans

On the EVENT page, you can pay a visit to three different lion shamans. Each shaman is a bit different and will provide unique daily quests for you. You can fulfill up to 3 deeds per day for them, and in return, you can gain Piety - between 6 to 9 Piety per day at maximum. The ancestors of lions who have passed will reward the lions who live and show piousness. You can exchange these Piety points for body and mind enhancements.

We believe the rewards will make all players happy, no matter what part of their lion's body they strive to improve.

Fossil Crafting

In Explore, you will find many fossil items! They can only be used for crafting in November.

This feature is now accessible via Monkey Business's Crafting section. It unlocks when the Piety bar reaches Tier 1. You can craft multiple fossils, some of multiple types, into decors and applicators.

This year, we have tweaked the recipes in such a way that you can choose what the outcome is of your fossil crafting - no more randomised decors!

New in 2019
* A brand new fossil type has been added - the Ammonite Fossil! It's used for new decors and a new applicator.

Ammonite Cave 15 x Ammonite Fossil

Ammonite Necklace 5 x Ammonite Fossil

Ammonite Body 20 x Ammonite Fossil

There is a new set of 4 extinct African animals for you to restore to life in a smaller, safer form, as well as a unique background!

Ancylotherium 5 x Ancient Fossil 10 x Crumbled Fossil	Rugops 10 x Ancient Fossil 5 x Crumbled Fossil	Antilohyrax 10 x Cracked Fossil 5 x Crumbled Fossil	Simbakubwa 5 x Ancient Fossil 10 x Cracked Fossil
Excavation Site 5 x Ancient Fossil 5 x Cracked Fossil 5 x Crumbled Fossil

The genetics for the new Ammonite base are Cream Medium Countershaded Special.

Gem Crafting

The gems to be crafted for this month are Gem: Carnelian, Gem: Fire Opal, Gem: Moss Agate, Gem: Nuummite, Gem: Rough Opal, and Gem: Sparkling Opal.

This feature has also been made accessible via Monkey Business's Crafting area! It unlocks when the Piety bar reaches Tier 2. Gem: Carnelian and Gem: Moss Agate are now craftable for the first time since their introduction. Gem: Carnelian crafts the beautiful Carnelian eye applicator, and Gem: Moss Agate crafts the community-chosen Moss Agate base applicator!

Dust: Carnelian 50 x Gem: Carnelian

Dust: Moss Agate 50 x Gem: Moss Agate

Polished Moss Agate 30 x Gem: Moss Agate

Jewelry: Carnelian Gem Headpiece 15 x Gem: Carnelian

Carnelian eye pass chances are 40% Carnelian, 20% Jet, 20% Red, 10% Earth, and 10% Saffron.

Now, for some information about Moss Agate.

Moss Agate's colour group was a difficult choice, due to all of the colour accents and its dominating green tone. We decided that the Moss Agate base will have Cream Dark Countershaded Special genetics due to its warm accents, as well as the genetic niche demanding more bases.

Visit the Shaman Shop!

In the Shaman Shop, you can exchange Scarab Beetles (abbreviated as ScB) for some fancy items. The more tiers you unlock through event bars, the more fun stuff will appear within the shops!

New in 2019
* Fun, fresh shamanic-themed backgrounds and decors in every tier, including the starting "Tier 0"!
* A new base applicator - Spectre! (Suggested by Czzen (#151676), - thank you!)

The genetics for the new Spectre base are Black Dark Solid Special.

The mane applicators for both Ammonite and Spectre are only found via Ancestral Whispering Rewards, unlocked in Tier 3.

Piety Bar

The Piety bar counts the total Piety gained throughout Lioden's lands. It unlocks tiers that provide lions with some awesome stuff from the Shaman Shop and the Shaman Pit.

Note: markings added via Piety will be applied in the first free slot available, so plan your designs carefully!

New in 2019
* The event NCL markings released in February, April, and September 2019 have been added to the Piety Ancestry's list!

Shaman Pit

This mysterious pit is being prepared by the shamans. The more piety that lions show, the stronger the ritual's effect will become!

New in 2019
Whispers in Tier 3 will have a chance at dropping Spectre Body (the Spectre base applicator), Spectre Fur (the Spectre mane colour applicator), and Ammonite Fur (the Ammonite mane colour applicator), along with all prior years' Whisper items.

Explore

Within Explore, you might notice herbs that you can collect, or encounters you can interact with. Some of these are specific for quests, but won't do much if you're not on that particular quest. If you're not on any quest and you meet a Tsavo lion, nothing besides a battle will occur. However, if you're on a quest to defeat a Tsavo lion and you win, the quest will be fulfilled, and you can return to the shamans to complete your deed!

New in 2019
* 5 new encounters have been added! We're introducing a new NPC you can interact with, and it's quite unique, in a sense. If you're on a Shaman Quest and you come across the solo encounter with Ahihia, the young Sorcerer, you will be able to finish your Shaman Quest immediately! There are also many ways to get the new Ammonite Fossil!
* 3 new bird species were added this year to the Song of Lazarus encounter. This encounter awards one of many decors, each depicting a recently-extinct bird species. Here is an example of one of those.

Réunion Sheldgoose

Ascension Night Heron

Réunion Ibis

We have also updated some very old art for a few encounters, battle pictures, and the Shaman Shop's banner! We hope you will enjoy our amazing art team's work.

You might notice you can once again turn your carcasses into Rawhide. Rawhide is required for some Shaman Quests. It can also be used for crafting within the Monkey Business's Crafting area!

Enjoy yourselves, lions! Connect with ancestors and enjoy the tribal feeling of this month's event!

Remember that the website (and the admins, if needed) will run a mass Rabies removal once November begins. If it needs some extra attention, please give our coders a few hours to wake up as we're in a different timezone than Lioden's server!

Be sure to utilise our official Wiki to the fullest during this month!

NOTE: Please keep in mind that bases and manes will appear within the Lion Wardrobe a little later into the month when you guys are closer to unlocking the Piety tiers. We always strive for good quality with our art and we prefer to give the creation process a bit more time, rather than rushing it.
