Milk 'n' Cookies

January 1, 2025 - February 28, 2025

Summary

In the Milk 'n' Cookies event, Milk and Blossom worked together to bring cowcap farming to Aerius, and Milk helped teach others how to make pet cookies that can change a pet's appearance.

Awards

The event added the Home Baker award to the site, which users could craft after collecting some mysterious pet cookies from prompts...

We also added the features awards!  Each month that a user submits gift art of the featured character, they can earn a features token.  Each ribbon takes 12 tokens (and, for the blue and red ones, a ribbon awarded by the previous award in the sequence), so you can earn one award per year if you put in the work!  (As a fun bonus, drawing the featured character gets you entered into a raffle to be selected for the next featured character).

New Pets

During the event, we introduced the Wisp and Cakey.  The Wisp is a normal pet, but Cakey is our third event pet.  Mysteriously, it resembles the cake Queen Iola made for the anniversary of the species...  Maybe that's a clue about when it will usually be available?

We also introduced the birthday variant, which is exclusive to event pets, and the cookies are rare and hard to get.

New Characters

The event saw the first appearances of Bonnie, Ashna, and Piglette.  (Technically, Piglette had spoken before... while hiding underneath a counter).

New Items

New Ingredients & Dishes

Alongside the event, we introduced the Tropical Popsicle and Banana Bread dishes, and their ingredients - bananas and nuts.  Yes, we know what you're thinking.  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Anything Else?

During the event, we got a ton of things off our to do list - lockette and kipitin trait items, in particular, as well as running the promised crystal gacha.
