November Event

This month, a bunch of nomadic lion shamans arrived from far away lands to provide their services.

Not only humans believe that ancestors are linked spiritually to the living. Some lions believe they can talk to the spirits of those who passed during a trance. You can gain your Piety for Ancestors by doing deeds for lion shamans, and in return you will be granted spiritual rewards.
Your Piety might unlock something special, so respect the spirits and they will provide.
Alongside, you can gather a lot more of herbs in Explore for quests, nesting, crafting or your battle beetles!

Visit the Shamans
On EVENT page, you can pay a visit to three shamans. Each is a bit different and will provide quests for you, daily. You can fulfil up to 3 deeds daily for them, and in return, gain piety (6-9 a day max). The Ancestors of lions who passed will reward lions who live and show piousness. You can exchange Piety points for mind & body enhancements.
We believe the rewards will make all players happy, no matter what part of lion's body they strive to improve.

Crafting Fossils - in the Shaman Pit
This feature is a restoration place where you can turn in 15 Ancient Fossils you find in explore from a Rockslide encounter, in order to get one of 4 random African dinosaur decors. Afrovenator Fossil found in Arid Desert, released during Karma Expansion, can also be crafted to get rare Afrovenator.
2016 introduced Cracked Fossil, which you can craft into 4 random African extinct animals, including two mammals.
2017 introduces Crumbled Fossil, which you can craft into 4 random African extinct animals, including the Dodo bird.
Additionally, with 15 Cracked Fossils + 5 Crumbled Fossils you can craft a "Fossil Body" - a Fossil base applicator.

Crafting Gems - in the Shaman Pit
This feature will allow you to craft items from November gems:
Rough Opal, Sparkling Opal, Fire Opal, Nuummite
There are base, mane and eye applicators to craft!
2017 introduces Fire Opal and Nuummite stuff + extra small pendant jewelry based on a player suggestion.

Visit the Shop
In the shop you can exchange ScB (Scarab Beetles) for fancy items. The more Tiers you unlock in bar, the more fun stuff will appear!
2017 adds more decors, new series of Shamanic Tarot animals and Penumbra Base Changer. We have removed the herb/SB currency exchange as we believe the change we made is now two events old and is no longer a "new" change and new system has been adapted.

Piety Bar
Piety bar counts total piety gained in Lioden lands. It unlocks tiers that provide lions with awesome stuff for the shop and the Shaman Pit.
Note that the marking will be added in the first free slot, so plan your designs carefully!
All 2017 NCL event markings are updated in the Piety Ancestry list.

Shaman Pit
This mysterious pit is being prepared by shamans. The more piety lions show, the better the ritual's effect will become!
2017: Whispers in tier 3 have a chance of dropping Penumbra Body or Fur item along with last year's results. We have also added "Fossil Fur" as an extra this year.

Explore
During exploring, you might notice herbs to collect or encounters to interact with. Some are specific for quests, but won't do much if you're not on that particular quest. If you meet a Tsavo lion and defeat it, nothing besides a battle will happen. If you're on a quest to defeat a Tsavo Lion, though, and you win, the Quest will be fulfilled and you can return to the Shamans to complete the deed.
2016 update: Almost all encounters will grant you Scarab Beetles if you interact, including some battles!
2017 update: We have added 4 new NPC encounters to expand the lore a tiny bit.

Thanks for the suggestion for Tefnut/Tefnut encounter!

You might have noticed you can turn your food into rawhide again - it is required for some quests.

Enjoy yourselves, lions, connect with ancestors and enjoy the truly tribal feeling of this month's event!

Extra Note: Art Updates this month will also contain updates on the decors from this month for the poses.

November event starts at 1st Nov 00:00 am and ends at Nov 30th at 11:59pm. All unused currency will be stored on your account and appear again next year.

Some time during November 1st we will run a mass rabies removal.
