Life's revival, event award claiming extended and the end of the year celebration!
The last news of the year! Time really flies, huh? So much so that we completely forgot to put an ending day for Carnival of Life 2024 award claimings! We apologize for the scare we gave for some of the members, and announce now officially that the award claiming will close on 1st of January 2025 at 7pm GMT! A timer has been applied to the front page. Raffles relating to the event will be rolled right after the closing time!
As the event has been closed, we are happy to announce that the members have done it again and managed to help us with reviving Life's new physical form! Head over to the Carnival of Life page or to youtube to see the video about the newly reborn goddess, who has something very important to say to you.
Things coming to a close, and this little news works as perfect reminder that the Divine shop will close today at 7pm GMT! All purchases done until that via the journal or notes will be processed at the time being, so do not worry about the wait! We still have only one admin working on the purchases and at the moment we're busy cooking up something for the upcoming year, so be patient, you little fuzzy elves!
Speaking of fuzzy, the traditional holiday Varma familiar claiming is open! Head to this journal to get your free deer and exclusive background set! You can claim both until January 7th, 2025, 9pm GMT!
And last but not least, a small reminder that registeration to Lorekeeper is still open and running! Kukuris are slowly uploaded into there, but there's still ton of stuff you can do while waiting. As a tip I need to say that, if your kukuri in the Lorekeeper is missing their familiars, please send us a prompt about it! We can't apply familiars on kukuris if their owner is not registered to Lorekeeper, so they must be claimed manually afterwards.
It's been a long year and hopefully the new one is full of hope! At least me writing these news am getting little sentimental, but I've always loved this little holiday more than anything. See you all in 2025 and watch out for rockets!

Monthly update with breeding and monthly quest, Divine shop opening, Lorekeeper registeration opening for everyone, the official Secret Santa and reward claiming for event is open!
Now there's a lot of stuff for this month, so let's not waste any time and let's begin!
Our admins have worked day and night to reach the end of your entries, and it is true! Reward claiming for Carnival of Life 2024 event has been opened! Remember to use the link you posted to the thread (with the results of Life's reactions in it as reply), otherwise you'll be send back to the queue. Everyone claiming their rewards will automatically be listed to be eligible for raffles and the amount of raffled things is tied to the participants!
Due to unforeseen health issues the lore reveal of the event's end will be delayed, but stay tuned to find out Lide's reborn form later this month!
The usual monthly stuff has also happened. Breeding is open and Monthly Quest has a new prompt! It is a repeated prompt from previous years, in which you'll bring joy to someone else within the community to receive gifts! It's time of giving after all.
Kukuri of the month voting is also open for the new upcoming year! The last kukuri winning the title is Velox 14111, owned by eeshmeesh! Congratulations! Keep in mind that you can win awesome raffle rewards by voting, so don't be shy and give someone you know a bit of love.
Divine shop is open for winter season! It includes everything your kukuri need, and each purchase will be supporting the group like usually! The winter shop includes chances to buy semi-customs, and also buy seasonal slots for three exlusive starters!
The shop has had some changes when compared to summer; limited background bundles are now split into sets and are less expensive than prior years. They are split thematically to dangerous environments, Seasonal/Weather and Manmade/other.
Import items are also condensed into one item, so by buying it you can pick from all 11 options (you still must pick while purchasing, not later).
ALRIGHT AND THEN WE TALK ABOUT THE BIG THING, oh baby. Kukuri ARPG has had a Lorekeeper site for better part of the year and we have worked on it relentlessly to create more enjoyable gaming experience! The registeration for the site are now open for public!
However, please keep in mind that the site might run slowly now that it's open, it's entirely depending from how many people want to register. You can read about the key features from here: Player Guide
To get your bank transferred to the site, head over here! By transferring your bank you unlock LK specific things, such as autocrafting, selling, trading and buying without no need to wait in queues!
FP and status updates will also be handled through the site! Head to FP Guide to read more!
You have until February 1st 2025 to register before dA queues for the bank, FP, and many misc areas close and will no longer be accessible. You have a further 1 month after that to transfer your bank (March 1st) and still gain bank transfer awards (yes, you get awards just for transferring your bank!)
This all might sound a lot right now, but no worries! Our admins do the best to guide you through this and with it we say goodbye to many cumberson features forced to be hosted through dA, made now easier and faster for both admins and players alike!
Do note that not all imports are yet uploaded to LK! We do our best to upload them as fast as we can but we'll follow the ID number order, not player order. You can still keep playing even if your kukuri is not yet on the site, so just be patient!
Here's some key features Lorekeeper will bring to you:
- Kukuri personalization tools
- Masterlist sorting features (that are more reliable than dA search function)
- Injured kukuris have their illnesses and injuries more visible than every
- You can sort kukuris to folders and personalize their familiars
- And much, much more!
We're excited to see you in the site with us! We also are taking feedback on everything, so don't be afraid to give us questions or opinions. All we request in return is some patience. Everything will be alright.
Since it's the season of giving, Kukuri ARPG is hosting its own Secret Santa! You can enter to it until December 8th.
We lost something in this time as well; life has decided to claim Zada2011 from our admin team, and we wish and hope them everything good in the future! Hopefully we'll see them again some day!
Last but not least, a reminder about dA's bad habits; make sure to check the image settings/preview size when uploading art. dA has always and continues to automatically change the setting on submission, so your image might come out as smaller than you intended!
Alright, I wish, hope and trust that this was everything! It's been one of the longest news in a while, but hopefully it includes something for everyone! Happy holidays and remember, no holiday is worth the stress when you should have fun and relax!

Carnival of Life event is over, info about reward claiming, updates on some of the markings and info about dA's new systems
Congratulations everyone! You've survived yet from another Carnival of Life event! You can pat yourselves to the back and take a breather for the rest of the month, while we admins go through the rest of the posted entries and roll the results to see if Life has been impressed enough so she feels strong enough to return!
Event's reward claiming will open once all entries has been rolled, corrections included, so hold on those links for a moment. The raffles get rolled on the opening day as well!
Meanwhile, there's been fun updates done for various markings! You can read more about them on their respective pages, but here's a rundown:
- Dominant or as only marking Gradient can now follow kukuri's bodyshape more naturally!
- Iridescent allows kukuri's mouth to sparkle!
- Piebald, Ink and Koi will allow two-colored mouth to be present where the marking touches the mouth!
- Rune can now layer freely!
Please read the rules with care since these were just bullet points to make you excited!
We've clarified a Breeding rule a bit; split breedings can't use pixie or etherical rocks, since that would present unfair split for having two people have to share one pup.
Then, I have a lovely duty to talk dirt about our platform deviantART a bit. This site keeps breaking after every update and now we have something new we need to keep an eye out for. When your kukuri gets accepted, make sure to either follow Kuku-ri or keep an eye on it, because dA doesn't always anymore tag you into upload. We don't want people to think their kukuri is skipped or something!
We'd also wish people to use links with "www.deviantart.com/USER/art/DEVIATION-NAME-ID" instead of "www.deviantart.com/USER/art/ID"! The latter is generated often during first upload, but it doesn't automatically become thumbnail so we kinda have to dig it up from your gallery after that. Makes life hella lot faster for us if the right link is used!
That was our small mid-month update! We truly are happy for the event being over (and hearing you liked it), and next month will bring some good oldies back! Until then, stay warm everyone!

Carnival of Life is continuing, Traveling merchants have left, monthly update and some info about Lorekeeper FP confirmations
What on earth happened to October? Feels like I blinked and it was suddenly gone! Now it's suddenly cold and winter and me no likey I want to hibernate so badly.
But before I go, here's some updates! Carnival of Life is on its fourth week and you have still plenty of time to take part to it! Remember that even if you don't have enough entries for rewards, you're still taking part into group effort of making Life whole again! Oh, and of course, taking part to those raffles we have.
Like usually at the first days of the month, rotating things have been updated! Breeding is open and Kukuri of the Month voting has ended!The winner this time is a gorgeous Corvus 14109 owned by InkedCurse! The voting is open again and it's time to pick year's last kukuri of the month!
The Traveling Merchants have left the areato find new stuff to bring for you, and they'll return back in December!
Beauty Contest has a new theme, and this time it is Ghosts! We've also extended the deadline due the event, so this one will be judged in 15th of December!
We're still working hard with Lorekeeper behind the scenes! Some things have been cleared up a bit about rank updates using the LK page.
- If you have been invited and registered to the new site please use rank update from there!
You don't need to have the said kukuri uploaded to the site.
- The rank update prompt can be found from: Activity -> Activities -> All prompts
From there if you open 'details' you will find the form for filling, copy that to your prompt submission and fill out all the needed info for it.
(Link to kukuri import, tracker and total)
- You don't need to add anything else to the prompt than the filled out form!
We are moving towards the day when registeration would be open for everyone, so don't worry!
Hmm, I could make an educated guess that this was all for now. I'm excited to see the rest of the event and do we actually get to see how reborn Life looks like? Stay tuned!

Carnival of Life event has begun, traveling merchants have returned, some admin team changes and monthly update completed
Greetings there everyone! It is that time of year you've all been waiting for! Spooky season, and of course, the annual Carnival of Life has began! Death has arrived to us with a completely new face for us to meet in person, and together they've made up several trials for our kukuris to try. To bring Life back to her true form, we all must impress her and show her what life is really about!
On top of that, the traveling merchants have returned with a new rotation of items to sell and barter with! Not all stock has been rotated due to event coming in way of their preparations, but we'll see they'll do it properly in December!
Like always at the start of the month, we've made the usual preparations. Monthly Quest as usual will be closed during the event for October and November. Kukuri of the Month voting is open again and this month's winner is Kanosh 9317 owned by MagicianManx! Congratulations!
A slight reminder for everyone that voting for the Kukuri of the Month is one of the easiest way to obtain starter slots, if the votes pass the required threshold. But we need more votes to reach them monthly!
Beauty Contest has been rolled for a new theme, and it is this time Fairy Tales!
Not everything is celebration however. The admin team has been chipped smaller, since this time both DuskRipper and lilwyverngirl have decided to step down from their duties. We thank them for their hard work, and hopefully see them around in the group still! We however are not opening new applications for admins just yet, since the group's pace has been positively caught up.
The last month's Monthly Quest item, Cybernetic Enhancement, has been added to The Shop, and it's available for purchase throughout the October!
Whew, I think that's all of it! I hope we can all work together to reveal Life's true form. There's a progression bar coded into our website on event page where you can see how we're doing! But for now, I'd say it's time to plan ahead and use this extra long first week to prepare for the rest of the event (I say fully aware that I'll leave everything on last minute again...)
See you at the Coliseum!

Sneak peaks and the new kukuri website
Hello all! Mid month announcement? What is this? Well I've got some fun sneak peaks for you!
The admin team has been noticing the ever changing nature of DA is getting worse and worse to work around...(Im sure a lot of you noticed this as well) we had to make some changes and some choices. This has lead to the choice for kukuris to take the large step off site.
And I don't just mean the information site... I mean, a Lorekeeper site.
While the site itself isn't quite ready for everyone to dip their toes in, we have some screenshots and information for you to take in and chew on until it is ready!
READ HERE for information and some fun screenshots!
Now then, I need a break from all these numbers and codes... enjoy the sneak peak.

Monthly update with brand new area, Traveling Merchants, two new starters joining the roster and the shop has been added to the website!
Well hello there once again! We're very excited to publish this news since we've been working with it behind the scenes quite intensively! Don't think that the surprises end up here though, since even after this, we still are cooking for something much, much bigger...
But first and foremost, the monthly update time it is! Breeding is open for August and Kukuri of the Month voting has ended! The winner of this vote is lovely Florian 15105, owned by @yinyangletsa! Congratulations! The winner of the raffle of 10,000 Cr is @AdaMani7913! Remember that the raffle price is better for each month the more people vote, so it's time to dig up your favorite kukuri and show some love for them! You might end up with a brand new aquatic starter slot if the votes are casted in plenty enough!
Monthly Quest has been cleared for new prompt, with a Raccoin returning as a reward! This cheeky fellow loves the coins, but not as much as our next pairing...
We have a brand new area opening in the game, The Traveling Merchant! A two mysterious kukuris, Elzada 15813 and Andraxas 15814, talking like an old couple, arrive bi-monthly to the area with their merch. By showing off your skills or bartering with them you are able to get your hands on rare or very rare items!
If you wish to buy things on old-fashioned way, the merchants do have a regular shop with rotating stocks. They however need something very specific for every purchase...
Even the merchants are not without love, because by taking part in showing your skills or bartering with them, you have a chance to win their slots!
Go go, go check the brand new shiny shop in here: Traveling Merchant!
We are very excited about this new area, but please, be aware that the area is new and offers some highly wanted and powerful items. It is subject for changes if we deem it too unbalanced!
And last but not least, @FallingFireX has had enough about dA breaking our beautiful journals and added our The Shop to the website! The last monthly quest's reward, Crystal Caverns BG set, has been added there for Cr price, but it is only available through August!
Now I shall go continue the thing we're secretly doing behind your backs while you're distracted by new shiny shops...

Monthly update with new quest, Kukuri of the Month and new mutation
Man, pride month went by way too fast. Still, it's always nice to continue celebration, right? The date doesn't dismiss the pride month, I do---
Today's the regular monthly update like usually at the start of the month. Breeding is open for July, and Monthly Quest has received a new prompts with a brand new background set! The finished product is still a bit mystery for us all, but the team assures it's worth it. Sparkly and beautiful like other backgrounds, so take part, won't you?
Kukuri of the Month voting has concluded, and this time we found a winner from a blue beauty, Kuunkielo 601, owned by seepranne! The raffle price (10,000 Cr with 5 votes) went for Ace574! Congratulations you both!
Last month we also saw a new mutation drop; Faux! This non-heritable mutation is dropped completely randomly and allows kukuri to display dominant marking, even if they don't have one! Go check the page for more information!
Divine shop has been closed for the summer! Thank you a huge amount for everyone again for directly supporting the group and team behind it! We apologize for the long wait with the invoices and purchases, but like always, we'll come around to handle them! There'sad just one admin handling them at the moment, so that is why it's been quite slow. I hope you understand!
That's it for today. Short and sweet (and still I fought with the code like 30 minutes for this...), just like I am. Remember to drink a lots of water during these summer days! Your hydration depends on it!

Group-wide pride collab, Artfight reminders and new Beauty Contest theme
Hello there! I hope you've had a fun pride month so far. We've decided to make this mini-news in middle of the month to remind that the group has an official pride collab in works! You can take part to monthly quest by making a pagedoll for your kukuris showing their pride, and posting it to the separated queue in the Monthly Quest page (at the bottom). You have still time to take part and get your kukuris marching with all of the others in one big collab!
Artfight has started again, and like usually, we'd like to remind that we do not allow imports being uploaded to outside sites such as Toyhouse or Artfight! You can make a ref of your kukuri by drawing it yourself (or by someone else, we don't judge), and linking import to that ref!
Last but not least, Beauty Contest has been rolled! Congratulations for the winners @Hyllin, @eeshmeesh and @InkedCurse! The next month's theme is Fruit! Let there be colors!
Hyllin - Outlaws
eeshmeesh - Outlaw
InkedCurse - Cowboy Yeehaw

Semi-custom Raffle, Awards claiming close, AR updates
It's starting to get real hot outside, and while I'm sure some of us are roasting under the sun, I've got some fun (albeit quick) updates!
My favorite part of any event has come... raffle time! With the release of Aquatics, all semi-customs raffled going forward will start as prairies! Which brings me to the winners of these new semi-customs~
@PyritePillar
@purpleshadowbooster
Congratulations to the lucky winners, you can find your proof here
With the raffle done, this means the Festival of Death Awards claims are closed! Thank you all who partook in the event this year!
Additionally, you'll need to forgive my lateness to rerolling this semi, but we had one more semi forfeited from the Aquatic raffle last winter. This rerolled semi goes to @Qua-ttro! Hopefully you enjoy your new Aquatic. Your proof can be found here
The admin team has seen some changes in the last few weeks and with some sad news, @Xenon-Amaki has left the team. We hope to still see them around the group!
Lastly, but certainly not least... Activities have gotten some fun updates.
Excavations now drop "Ancient Beast Skull (large or small)" rather than specific skulls.
All ARs now have a very rare chance of dropping their respective trait tokens! Thats right, Trait tokens are now obtainable in game after so long. This means in Traveling you have a small chance of getting a Discovery Expert trait token and vice versa for all ARs.
Thats all I've got for you for now. Carry on enjoying the sun and pride month. Im sure we have some fun things planned for the coming months so look forward to those!

Coliseum - The Battle Stadium
Coliseum - Race Track
Coliseum - Beauty Contest
I'm honestly glad to see the ARPG moving somewhat away from DA; the problems with this site really make it difficult to do anything. Excited to see this new site once it's ready.
