Solarian Insider - July 12th Edition

Greetings Solarians!

A new month and a new edition! We may be a little bit late, but better late than never! We have some exciting news this month, so take a look! 

Community Day item has been decided!

The community day item that was open to votes last month has now come to an end, and oh boy the votes were not close at all! There was one item that outshone the other two! We are happy to announce the votes cast have come to the conclusion that:

Congratulations and thank you to our wonderful community members, because without you this all wouldn't be possible! The recipe for the Fantastic Feathered Fluff is now available from the Pandrean Library for purchase!

I'll also be messaging all our finalists in regard to their MYO choices on Discord shortly. Those who voted on this community day will also have their vote rewards sent out to them within 24 hours of this news post going live!

Pride charity mimic Update!

It seems as though Refraction is quite the popular vullaby, with so many users donating to obtain the wonderful new pet! We still have just over a week to reach our goal of $250! 

So far, we have raised $101! This means we have reached our first soft goal, the raffle for a free Rare stone! This raffle can already be found in the General Store and will be open until the 21st of July! There will be three winners of a rare stone with this raffle, so be sure not to miss out! This also means we are $49 away from our next soft goal! Once met, we will be able to host a Very Rare Stone Raffle with three winners! 

Already donated and got the pet but want to donate more? No problem! You can either anonymously send in the donation to help raise more money for this wonderful charity, or put another user's username in there (with permission, of course!) so they can receive the pet as well! This will be per user of course!

You can obtain Refraction by Donating at least $5 to Our Fundraiser! We are hoping to achieve $250 for The Trevor Foundation, with soft goals along the way that, if we meet it, will open free raffles for rare, very rare, and legendary stones! 

We will be accepting donations until the 21st of July for the fundraiser! 

We also know there was a bit of an issue in regards to some users who have donated receiving the wrong pet; not to worry, that fuzzy friend won't be leaving your side due to it being an accident on our side of the rift, but you will be receiving the correct pet shortly! 

Patreon updates

We have made some changes to our Patreon tiers as well as the price of our highest tier to help keep up with not only workloads but the progress of the ARPG's story as we are heading to the home stretch! 

$3 Tier 1 changes: 

• All rewards are the same as before with more of a focus on a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff for you all!
• We have changed the way monthly mimics are chosen; going from a poll to a suggestions channel instead. 

$7 Tier 2 changes: 

• All rewards from before are obtainable still.
• We have also added that users are able to obtain x1 Uncommon Stone at this tier!
• Users also gain a month-long early access to the bi-monthly community line sets that will be released. These will be non-quest line sets.
  
  

$15 Tier 3 changes: 

• The shard rewards and exclusive title is still obtainable at this rank.
• We have removed the Phone Background and Avatar from the rewards list and instead have replaced it
• Users also gain a month-long early access to the bi-monthly community line sets that will be released before the rest of the community has the availability to them. These line sets are non-quest linesets.
• Instead of x1 Uncommon stone, at this tier, you can obtain x2 Uncommon Stones
  
  

$30 Tier 4 changes: 

• The price of this tier will be dropped from $40 to $30 from the 1st of August onwards.
• You will still be able to obtain the custom mimic for the first month of subscribing!
• The shard reward for this tier will be dropped from 25 shards to 20 shards. 
• Instead of 2-3 non-quest linearts at this tier, you will instead gain a monthly quest base for one of the various quests in the ARPG at this tier. 
• Instead of x2 Uncommon Stones, at this tier, you can obtain x1 Rare Stone.

We have also revealed this month's AND next month's exclusive Patreon Mimics: 

Until August, the Tier 4 of the Patreon has been closed to new members, just so we can start afresh in August!

Serah's Sketches - July is now live!

Serah has decided to take a back seat this month to help everyone's favourite friend-shaped robot, Gus, who has seemingly started to talk normally instead of a string of his name in various pitches! Whilst he is still unsure as to why, or how, he started talking, there has been one thing that he has wanted to always do but never had the chance due to him not being able to use his own words or write them; send a thank-you note to someone who helped him a long time ago! In this month's Serahs Sketches quests, you can obtain the 'Gusling' mimic and the 'Friend' badge achievement!

And of course, the previous months' Serah's Super Star award has been rolled! Congratulations to... 
Vasticescape! 

You'll be receiving your Super Star award in your collection inventory momentarily! 

So go check out this month's Serahs Sketches quest in the Community Hall to see how we can help little ol' Gus Gus!

Raffle for Kiamara Ka-3829 has been rolled - Update on adopts

Congratulations to Lakaisha on winning your new Kiamara friend!
They will be transferred on over to you momentarily! 

Keep an eye out on the Discord Channel for more information about some newer pride adopts, including the two charity adopts, coming soon! 

That's all, folks!
Join me in the next edition of the Solarian Insider!

As always, any questions can be posted in response to this article over on our Discord, or anonymous box!
