Website Updates
Updates
All biome exploration prompts have been added
All directional voyaging prompts have been uploaded
Note the voyaging page is still under construction. You can read all about voyaging here
New Items
Added item versions of the Queen's Conch and Sand Dollar
Due to current limitations with shops, we cannot make a currency act as an item and vice versa. If you receive a Queen's Conch (item) or Sand Dollar (item), you can sell it from your inventory for the currency version of the item. The item version will not have any use in the game, so we encourage people to sell these item versions once they have one.

Increased the maximum seashell reward from 100ss to 150ss when delivering a wanted item

Increased maximum amount of tall grass able to be found in the infected biome
Increased maximum amount of seashells able to be found in the desert biome

Known Bugs
These are issues that have been reported by players or noted by staff and have not been resolved yet but are on our radar.
Isomara of the Month will sometimes display a companion species
Low priority bug, staff will manually roll an Isomara if the site pulls a non-Isomara species for the IOM
Equipment is listed twice in some shops, such as Charlotte's Iron Emporium
Some equipment is still labeled as an item in the game with equipment as a category name. Converting the equipment items to proper equipment is a lower priority but will happen before the end of the year
Some item's information displays shops that they cannot be purchased at
DeviantArt Group Updates
Updates
Upcoming Closures
Sunday - November 26th - The Daycare
The Daycare will be closing and no longer have new Isolings and companions available for adoption. The Daycare was often used to sell new isolings, eggs, and companions at low prices. The onsite Daycare is now primarily a rehoming service for those who want to donate their character back to the game for other users to adopt with in-game currency.
Sunday - December 3rd - Achievement Turn-In
After this date, we will no longer be accepting turn-in comments and adding achievements to Isomara profiles on the @IsomaraIndex account. We used to display five of the achievement images on each import page and then list the rest. We have experienced issues with the thumbnails disappearing and cannot always confirm which achievements an Isomara had if they earned it far in the past. Users can submit a claim on-site with a link to proof on DeviantArt if their character has earned an achievement they do not have on their masterlist page.
