Hello, hello, and welcome to Evelon!
My name is Toxic! Well, no, not really, but that's what everyone calls me around here. <3 Do you prefer Llama, Panic, or something else?
It's always nice to see new faces! I'm not sure which lovely person is your friend, but I'm sure they'll be quite helpful to you. However, if you have any questions, feel free to throw them out there. You can ask here or in the Help! section, or even PM me, if you'd like. Most members are quite helpful, if you need anything.
There are some places that may be of interest to you, as a new user.
At the moment, Halloween is being celebrated in typical Evelon fashion. There is the
Seasonal Specialties shop where your pets/characters can go trick-or-treating. You'll gain either candy or riddle pieces, which can be redeemed at the end of the event for new pets that will be released for this Halloween. The only catch here, though, is that it costs 15 KS per day that you go trick-or-treating.
Additionally, there is a
Haunted House roleplay event. Participating will net you some prizes at the end, but you wont know exactly what you'll win until its all over. Prizes may include candy or riddle pieces, which can then be used at the shop, as well other seasonal pets.
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. All prizes for October are appropriately themed, including more candy, and Halloween pets from years past.
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, users with no or few breedable pets 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 cost KS.
All that said, KS is earned through roleplaying, at 5 KS per post. If you roleplay at bare minimum (5 sentences per post), that's 1 KS per sentence.
