Hello and welcome to Evelon! <3
Everyone around here calls me Toxic. It's a pleasure to meet you!
Once you've checked out all the rules and such, which I am guessing you already have since I've seen your pen pop up as a new post, and get a little more settled in, there are a few more things that might be of interest to you, as a new user.
Be prepared for me to spew info at you!
There are monthly
quests, which all users can participate in. It's a fun, easy way to net some extra KS, and there are opportunities to win other prizes, as well, which usually include different pets, among other things. The quests for December should be live fairly soon, and I'm most certain that they will be themed for this month's holidays, so keep an eye out if that interests you at all!
This shop awards new users with a free pet from the Seasonal section
here, and has an entire section of
free pets, as well. You can claim both one free Seasonal pet and one pet from the Free section, if you so wish.
If you're interested in a custom pet, a pet which you get to design,
this shop has a special Newbie's Choice Custom Token that is sold at a highly discounted rate for new users. A Custom Token is what is used to purchase a custom pet.
There is also the
Wishing Well. Which, just as it sounds, is a place to go to get wishes granted! There aren't many limitations with it. You can wish for new pets, both customs and existing species, KS or GT (the main currencies of Evelon), items, just about anything available on Evelon. The only hitch there is that staff checks to make sure you're active and roleplaying, so you'd have to stop by there once you've actually gotten started.
And, last but not least, lots of users like breeding. There are five breedable species, Kuhna (cats), Lucain (wolves/dogs), Paragon (dragons), Soveris (griffins), and Diosol (winged rabbits). Diosol are a bit special and are more price-y to breed, and take longer to be born than the others. However, as new users may not have pets to breed, or there are users with no or few breedable pets, they can borrow pets to breed
here, free of charge. You don't get to keep the pets you borrow, but you do get to keep the babies that are born after you complete a breeding. Like everything else, though, breedings require a KS cost.
