Apologies for the delay. It is maple syrup season. Cross your fingers that it continues to freeze at night!

yeah my family makes it, we dont have a huge operation but we usually manage 90-100 gallons a year. last year we didnt get any, it got too warm too fast in the spring. it needs to freeze at night and thaw during the day to get sap!

In conjunction with the changes to Limbus, the following items will no longer be obtainable.
Ivory Chip / Scarlet Chip / Emerald Chip / Silver Chip / Cerulean Chip / Smalt Chip /
Smoky Chip / Orchid Chip / Charcoal Chip / Magenta Chip

Since these are no longer available, how do players complete the "Content: Limbus" Records of Eminence quests where you have to obtain the various chips?

You can't. They went out of their way to warn the playerbase months ago that this would be the case. I'm sure they'll fix it in the future, but for now it's impossible.

This key opens one of Shami's special boxes.

New mystery. I assume that Shami is a terrible person, or just a demon in disguise like was let slip in TVR. I have mild apprehension because of what could be in his special boxes

I mean, like you said, it's 100% established that they're both demons getting back the seals so they aren't in circulation.

Campaign still gives the bonus on a ML50 job. I guess you have to ML50 and capped?

One of my old LS buddies used to make lots of maple syrup. He's Canadian though xD

They said they delayed it till next month, they still refuse to give any more details. I was hoping they would add some new hair colors to add more incentive to do it (which would be really easy to do) but they probably won't.

I'm very intrigued by this magicked flyer thing. Stacks to 12 so it's not a currency, but it's not auctionable unlike the pom-pom fruit, which would be a bit odd if they were both just another stupid costume effect item (I wonder what kind of moogle the fruit makes you look like.) Kind of wish they'd add the content that these things belong to at the same time they add the things, so we don't wind up with mysteries like the forbidden subligar.

Yeah if you're capped you won't see the bonus message. I guess to prevent any wasted EP from overflowing into the void.

Cool, thats not what I said, let me make it more clear:
No one is doing 2-3 hours of EP grinding every day without botting (or buying from RMT). I never said getting 500k a day is impossible.

Delayed until May update, so two more months. But yeah, no real details yet.

Fujito's pre-update notes mentioned it:

■ Regarding the Race Change Service
Lastly, I have an update about the game's upcoming race change service.

Originally, we planned to implement the feature as part of the March version update, but in order to make sure all of the system-related adjustments are made properly, we are postponing the feature until the May version update. We'll be sharing more details once we get closer to its implementation. I know many of you were looking forward to taking advantage of this new feature, but please bear with us while we ensure that it launches without any issues.

So am I not seeing it, or are Boxer's, Musical, Loquacious and Brutal etc not available on the curio

You still have to buy ABC to trade in? Kinda silly.

Pay 75k to then go trade the NPC, instead of just pay the 75k to the curio.

We do sell it! Costs a little more due to shipping and we use glass, so lots of packaging needed. HMU if anyone is interested :)

My uncle works with a sugarhouse in Vermont, they set up pipelines throughout the woods to collect sap automatically. It's pretty cool.

Made it a few times as a kid in CT, with old school tapper and bucket. Was just a fun activity my mom planned for my sister and I. Didn't come out as good as the Vermont stuff, though. Definitely not an exclusively Canadian thing!

It's definitely maple season. I used to have relatives living in northwestern Pennsylvania where several counties are big on producing maple syrup. They even have an annual maple festival where you can get all kinds of goodies... cakes, candies, cookies, and pure syrup by the pint, quart, or gallon. They even have a web site for it

https://www.visitpottertioga.com/event/20th-annual-maple-weekend-2024

Funny the timing, the festival is actually starting tomorrow. I won't be going this year, but I've been to it in the past. Fresh maple syrup is worth every penny. I'd buy some of it if I didn't already have a stock in my fridge. Totally worth it if anyone wants to support Funk.

We made 55 gallons this year, not bad, but our best was 94. If anyone wants to buy, HMU!
