Thank you all for your patience and support.

The token vendor has been updated and now has the Ritual Book - Kirin in it. This decision was made because the Kirin book is the only place you can get the Void element, and with the new update re-imagining the element systems, I thought that it might be a nice option for the newer and veteran alchemists to be able to access this book. I have also release the Descendant Hide for Kirin. The new Hide is named Moonbeam, and can pass from any chimera that has the "Descendant of Kirin" title. These new hides are on display at the main store.

It seams that the snow leopard flowers are attracting something very interesting to the wilds...

GOOD NEWS ALCHEMISTS! Because of outstanding efforts in the laboratory, We have discovered another rare bloom of flower from the Obsidian Valley's hidden past. This bloom appears to work when given to a chimera with Sable hide, and given to a second chimera with the Ice element. The offspring of the animals comes out with a Snow Leopard type hide. It is really interesting!

We have enough materials on hand to make these blooms available until February 20th. Be sure to get in on this while you can!

For an explanation of the bloom process, see this video about past blooms:
The Old Blooms

The January gem fusion has been released. It will be obtainable through fusion of any Red hide with any Purple hide.

The December gem fusion has been released. It will be obtainable through fusion of any Blue hide with any White hide.

The November gem fusion has been released. It will be obtainable through fusion of any Orange hide with any Yellow hide.

The Mummy has been put back to rest and the curse is lifing from the wild chimeras. Great Job Alchemists! You absolutely crushed the goals as a community and showed me that next time we have an event, I better bring the challenge.

The prizes for the Curse of the Mummy event are set up and ready for you guys to come get. There are three boxes at the main store entrance, one for each seal. For each of the seals you helped to close, you will receive the prizes when you click the corresponding box. I hope you all enjoyed the anniversary of the chimeras, and I hope to see you all again next year.

Now come Trick - or - Treat the main store and get your rewards!

This weekend, on the 29th at 2PM SLT I will be hosting a treasure hunt. This hunt will be run on the Main Obsidian Region at the Order Platform. I will also be setting up treasure hunt locations on some of the other dedicated regions. The Treasure hunt will be activated at 2PM and will run until all of the golden chests are discovered. To participate, you will just need to rez out a chimera and set it to follow you and then walk around slowly. When the Chimera finds a treasure, it will dig it out of the ground for you to grab. Every avatar will be limited to 2 Golden chests during this event. I will be putting all manner of fun prizes in these chests, including this years balloon and party hat accessories for the celebration of the 6th year of chimera fun.

Thank you all so much for your continuing support.

It seems that the evil mummy has been disturbed and visited the land with a wave of curses.
The third seal which can put the mummy back to sleep involves refilling his canopic jars with a sacrifice of the flesh.
I call upon you, the brave alchemists of the Obsidian Circle to help stop this evil bastard!
In the mummy's pyramid are 4 canopic jars. These jars will need to be filled with varying amounts of meat and organs. Specifically, the jars will require Meat, Offal, Eyeballs, and Bone Meal.

EACH JAR ACCEPTS ONLY ONE TYPE OF ITEM. BE SURE YOU PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IT ASKS YOU FOR WHEN YOU SIT ON IT.

To place them in the jar, you will need to sit on the jar, and then control drag the items onto the lower part of the jar. You will know you are doing it correctly when the jar highlights in a red outline. Then just let the mouse button go and you will see the jar tally all of the items you drop into it. Anything you drop in the jar that is not the correct item will be destroyed.
Be Careful, the mummy has set out a lot of traps that can hurt or even kill you. Be sure you progress through the pyramid with caution.

Additionally, when you sacrifice flesh you will earn Experience for research in your Order.
If you do not have an order assignment yet, you can travel to the
Order Platform at the main region and use the assigning tool in the region center.



You can track our overall progress on the website. Good luck alchemists!

It seems that the evil mummy has been disturbed and visited the land with a wave of curses.
The second of these curses has appeared in the form of a swarm of scarab beetles.
I call upon you, the brave alchemists of the Obsidian Circle to help stop this evil bastard!
To stop the infestation of the Obsidian Valley, you will need to bring a chimera set on follow with you around the event platform. The beetles seem to be partial to Juniper berry bushes. You should be able to scare them out of the bushes and defeat them with a chimera. Once a chimera has defeated the beetle, it will remove the Scarab Jewel and bring it to you. These jewels appear to be the key to the second seal.

We have found a statue of Anubis near the mummy's tomb which has a sacrificing table. If we sacrifice enough of these jewels to Anubis, he will close the second seal and place us one step closer to silencing the evil threat.

One of them is a Skeleton Hide, and the other is the La Muerta Hide. When you attach them to your avatar you can click them and they will fly up and down and flap theri wings.

It is officially the first day of the Month of Madness. Welcome to October.
This month will be the 6th year we have been playing with our chimeras, and it has been insane.
I want all of you to know how important and special it is to me that we have made it this far.
Thank you all for your support.

So with all of that mushie stuff out of the way, I Welcome you to the party!

This month we are doing a lot of fun stuff. We have a new Limited Edition with Egyptan flavor.
We have a lot of new and returning items for crafting in the sanctum including the Witch Hat,
the Pumpkin Bucket, and the Reaper Scythe.
There will also be recipes coming out for 2 new shoulder cheetahs that will be themed with La Muerata
and skeleton hides.
These special items require Chimera Candy which can be obtained at any of the regions on the location page with fishing.

Currently the wilds are being haunted by Spectres and Wraiths. You will be able to see them
and are incouraged to capture them or send them back to where they came with a Tranquility materia.

Speaking of the tranquility materia, the new feature to the wild enables you to calm the wild beasts.
Calming a chimera will send it away and reward you with a token, and experience for your order.
The wild chimeras are also cursed this month, wrapped up like mummies. Every mummy you tranquillize will
be kept track of, and if the entire community reaches the total goal, prizes will be rewarded to everyone.

As part of the Curse of the mummy community event, there will also be 2 more challenges to be announced later.

We also have an old den and a new den for sale. The pumpkin den has returned to the Main store
for a limited time, and with it, there is a Pyramid Den. The new Pyramid den has a new feature which
allows for an Auto Add. This will suck up as many chimeras as it can (max of 10) from the nearby area.

Also this month there will be a treasure hunt and a fishing competition to be scheduled later.
Prizes for these will include the new party hat and balloon accessories, gift cards, random consumable items,
and old LE ritual books.

We will also have the new LE food bin with the 6th anniversary cupcakes available for purchase at the main store.
It will be made avaialable sometime this weekend.

I hope everyone enjoys the Month of Madness. More info coming soon!

It seems that the evil mummy has been disturbed and visited the land with a wave of curses.
The first of these curses has appeared in the form of all wild chimeras being mummified.
I call upon you, the brave alchemists of the Obsidian Circle to help stop this evil bastard!
We have developed a new materia designed to calm the spirits of any cursed chimera. The Tranquility Materia!
These can be purchased at the wild locations where the mummified chimeras spawn.
You will need a new wild hud also, which will enable the use of these new materia.

Good Luck alchemists!


Additionally, when you "Calm" a chimera with the tranquility materia, you will gain a token,
and also earn Experience for research in your Order.
If you do not have an order assignment yet, you can travel to the
Order Platform at the main region and use the assigning tool in the reagion center.



We are not sure how many cursed chimeras are out there. If we can manage to calm enough of them, PERHAPS THERE WILL BE A REWARD?
