It's June! Which means it's officially summertime! ☀️

It's still the Rainy Season in Latorre though. As a reminder, this event will end on Friday, July 5th 10PM EST. You can learn more about the Rainy Season in a previous announcement here.

Since June is the start of summer, the seasonal MYO sale will take place on 28th. But June also happens to be a new month! So that means Cosette has two souvenirs to share.

Summer's Souvenir: Firefly Lantern

Available in June, July, August

This glowing souvenir causes a cossetling to become bioluminescent and is only available during summer.

June's Souvenir: Pristine Yarn

This delicate souvenir gives parts of a cossetling's body the appearance of being made of glass. Just like a raincatcher!

Pristine Yarn will be available until July 5th in Cosette's Souvenirs and July 10th in Crowded Station.

Speaking of raincatchers, it seems Malcolm has published a new storybook inspired by the Rainy Season!

Eh? Is this the right book? Oh, it appears Malcolm has published several new storybooks... What could this mean?

cosprout changes

Cosprout enchantments have been completely changed. From now on, you can enchant cosprouts by reading a storybook directly to them.You can do so by selecting your cosprout and then 'Enchant Pet' from the menu options. Once you select the storybook and matching enchantment color, click 'Read to Pet' and they will be transformed! The storybook will also vanish from your inventory. 

This means storybooks will no longer by exclusive to each cosprout. Instead, they can be used to enchant any cosprout at any time without needing a snippet or specific cosprout enchantment spell!

With this change, a slew of new fairytales (like the one pictured above!) have been stocked in the Secluded Cottage. Additionally, storybooks now have a special tag to make it easier to see which items are cosprout enchantments.

And, most importantly, Fairytales for (Cosprouts) Vol. 1 and Snippets are now retired and will no longer be available in official shops. Cosprout Enchantment spells are also retired and will be removed from the site by the end of June. Enchanted Cosprouts (seperate from the default cream cosprouts) are retired as well and will be removed from the site on July 25th 10PM EST to avoid reduncacy and confusion. Their pet drops will also be removed by the end of June.

But don't worry! The default cream cosprouts are untouched and still have their enchanted forms as seen here. :) The seasonal storybooks have also been converted into the new storybook items as well.

But what if you have a now retired item or pet?

Attend one of Malcolm's Workshops! From now until July 25th, these activities will convert your retired storybook, snippets, and cosprouts into the new system. ^^ There's also a few workshops for specific cosprouts. If you have a retired enchanted cosprout that does not have a workshop, please send in a claim! And if you happened to have open your retired storybook, please send in a claim to get one of the latest editions for each storybook you used. ^-^

I know this is quite a big change and I understand that it may a lot to take in but I hope this will streamline cosprout enchantments for everyone and encourage everyone to get more! It will also help with adding new cosprouts and their enchantments in the future.

And with all this talk about cosprouts, summer as brought in a new one!

Summer Cosprout: Kerora

Available in June, July, August

While the beboms have become quite bee-sy collecting resources and buzzed off, keroras have hopped onto the scene! These frog-like cosprouts are frequently heard but rarely seen as they prefer relaxing by themselves over playing with cossetlings. However, the summertime warmth and feeling makes them even more relaxed and quite friendly too. As such, they're the easiest to befriend during the summer season.

And this kerora brought Malcolm's new storybook inspired by the Rainy Season!

Event Storybook: Over the Rainbow

This limited-edition storybook will enchant a cosprout to look like the sky.

Over the Rainbow will be available in the Secluded Cottage until July 5th and in the Crowded Station until July 10th.

And that's all for now! As always, thanks for playing Cossetlings. Hope everyone has a nice summertime. ✿
