Forums Winter Solstice 2018 Val's Holiday Surprise!

Npc — She/Her Posted 6 years ago ( 2018/12/2 00:51:02 )


Bernard scurries up to your feet and seems to be concerned. He nudges you and points his antennae towards Val’s shop.

What could be the matter? Let’s follow the poor little guy!

As you enter the shop, you notice it sounds quieter than usual. There’s much less clinking and clanking; and those high pitched steam noises are no more.

Ggggg… GGggGg… ughhgg.. “No, got to keep..” ggg uh whhooo “working..”

Is that... Val? She seems to be half asleep.

Bernard hurries over to Val who’s hunched over at her workstation. He lightly taps her head to get her attention, her eyes now completely shut.

“Huh..?” Val’s eyes slowly peel open.

“Oh, Bernard, did I fall asleep again!?” She quickly gets back to work on what appears to be a snowglobe. “I really need to focus. Bring me a quadruple espresso shot latte, stat!"

You walk over to Val and express that maybe she should get some rest.

“Ah, I’ll be alright! Plus, I enjoy creating these little surprise gifts. They really help keep our spirits up during these dark, cold months. I’d be done by now if only that darn Amagamaterial-5000 didn’t decide to blow a fuse.”

It seems like Val’s glued to her project and far too busy to speak anymore, so you walk on over to Bernard who has some papers and blueprints layed out.

It’s an assembly line! Looks like Bernard wants to recruit some part time workers for Val’s shop - Voluntarily of course!

The documents contain blueprints and the necessary materials to create the unique gifts Val has been creating.

You look at the concerned bugger, wanting to help. “So, all we need to do is gather some crafting materials?”

Bernard hops up and down joyfully. “Well let’s get to it then!”

Bernard is concerned that Val is overworking herself, especially after one of their major production machines recently blew a fuse. He’s asking for the help of our Volties to gather the necessary supplies to assist Val with the remaining gifts she plans to make.

As a reward, Val might share some crafted gifts with you and maybe even her secret blueprints used to create them!

How do you gather the necessary materials?
Crafting Scraps can be found throughout the forums simply by posting. Once you gather these left over crafting supplies, head on over to Val’s shop!

Val will salvage what’s left of these scraps into the following refined materials:

Ribbon - Cardboard - Paint - Bulb

Where can I find my refined materials and what are they used for?
All materials that Val salvages will be found in your inventory under the “materials” tab. These are non-equippable items.

These materials are needed to build the gifts Bernard has supplied blueprints for. In Val’s shop, you’ll see the holiday gifts in addition to the salvageable materials. Click on the items to reveal the types and amounts of material necessary to create the blueprint.

How long is this Volunteering going to last?

Val and Bernard will need your help all December long to create just enough gifts to share with all the Volties!

You can start earning Crafting Scraps starting today, 12/1/2018!
Scraps, materials, and blueprints will be available through 1/2/2019

Get to crafting!

Development Update

Yes, that's right! Val’s shop is officially open and this silent event is introducing a new feature, Blueprints! You all know how handy Val is, she can turn anything - and we mean ANYTHING - into something with a purpose. After all, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure!

You’ll see more exciting content coming to Val’s shop in the future. Her items will usually be limited time only, giving you collectors a little more urge to hoard all the goodies. (We can get the phone number for the hoarders helpline from Val if you need it!)

We hope you’re as thrilled for Reduce, Reuse, Reinventions to finally open it’s doors as much as Val and Bernard are ready to whip up some new and unique inventions!

There is something haunting in the light of the moon;
It has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.
