Happy Late Night Shenanigans Tokotna!
We come bearing some fun for all… namely the first bonus for Gardening is here!
The Farmer trait is now available for Tokotas to pick up while completing their Bonding rites!
This trait will help reduce the energy cost of the various actions taken while tending to your garden!
For any Tokotas who bonded in November 2024 through the time of this post in January 2025, and who would like to swap their bonding trait, please go to the Tack Apps thread in the Bank.
And Planting Dreams has been wrapped up, with all our gardeners scurrying away till next season… And with that, Midwinter 74570 has decided to follow @/Skipzophrenic home!
And it looks like a few Abandoned Sinaka Pups have also hightailed it after @/KankuranLupus, @/LEM0NLION, @/AmiraColorBee, & @/AnimalArtKingdom !
Just a reminder, any FP gained in December is now invalid - you can only turn in FP gained in January-February this year for the current round.
Last reminder! If you plan to use a tokota for Tokotines, you need to have their AoAs in the thread by Jan close. Otherwise, they will not have AoAs in time!
Lots of Love,
Jill & Dun

Good Evening Tokotna!
The Garden is open for business growing!
Check out the following guides for an overview of the system, and then kick that Garden gate down and get started!
Come join us over on Discord for discussion, feedback, and any questions you may have!
There will also be a podcast tomorrow morning to go over the system, Tokotna activity trackers, and combo totems! Tune in for the inevitable spoilers from Jill!
Lots of Love,
Jill, Dun, Rhi, Duck, Alcestia, Ella

Scram WM346 decided that the wild life was not for him on Day 1! Congratulations to @DarkHeartedSorrows for rolling that 1.
Someone else has scratched her way out of the woodwork to pose a more normal challenge to you all - this is Day 0 of Scratch WF347 taming, where you can use all the standard bonuses.
A reminder in case you missed it in the buzz of open - please make sure to get the AoAs done for the tokota you intend to use for Tokotines. As usual, sign up will be right at the start of February during close, so there will be no time to do them next month.

Happy New Year everyone! After our month-long closure it’s back to Toko Time! We have many new and exciting updates for the new year!
The following departments are OPEN: Everything except REs
Tokota of the Month
This month’s Tokota of the Month is Chula 16764, owned by @/KankuranLupus!
To vote for February’s Tokota of the Month, go to the link on this journal.
Snowfall Cards
The Tokotas community came together to bury all of the Snowfall goals, and completed a grand total of 452 cards! This truckload of cards unlocked 4 rewards for everyone to enjoy.
The Communal Souls Festive Background is now available with the use of a Festive Stone!
A brand new mane variant was also discovered - Royal Razor. This mane is created by breeding a Curly maned Tokota to a Razor maned Tokota. It can also be applied to any Razor mane Tokota with a Soul Mirror.
Nightingale 74593 and Delilah 74594 join the royal court of starters!
A long awaited Totem has also unlocked! The Axolotl Totem allows players with it on their pole to complete only 2 images for Rites of Dominance.
Anyone who showed up to that three-fold mess of a podcast (Twitch, Discord, and Screaming) already knows that Sinakas have been released. For everyone else, we’ve released a new Build as the final Snowfall unlock!
These foxy friends are joining us as a new Tiny build!
The Build Guide and Slots Guide pages have both been updated
You can now find all the information for builds condensed on individual Tokopedia pages under Species Info! (Example: Sinaka)
Looking to boost your odds for a Sinaka? Check out the new Scheming Spirit trait, or our new craftable Foxy Brew!
Smittens is the founder of our first Sinaka UT: Sly Sibling!
For their activity trait, Sinakas will gain the benefit of Brawny II
Starters will be joining the pools in March, and Abandoned Sinakas will be joining the ranks of our Tiny Abandoned Pups!
It wouldn’t be snowfall without raffles! Thank you again to everyone who came together to make this an excellent event!
Congrats to @Ionekta, you have won a Sinaka Semi-Custom! @SCITZ, @Neon-Izumi, and @Kepperoni, you have each won a Sinaka geno!
Congrats to @Tinadactyl, you have won a Royal Razor Semi-Custom! @xx-Nachturnal–xx, @Polyhexian, and @Shiruberu you have each won a Royal Razor geno!
Congratulations to @Eleiria, @TuttibirdArts, @runemire, @Experimentor-Iblis, and @IBX3, you have each won a Totem Crafting Bundle!
HOWL the Events department with your choice of totem (like the sale, no Budgie please!) and we’ll get those unlocked for you~
And last but certainly not least, congrats to our Super Duper Prize Packs winners! @animalartkingdom, @Skryzein, @OnyxianARPG, @Pinky-Poodle, @Cryptid-Corvidae, @thornvines, and @FleetingStability!
Account Management
You will now be required to link your profile when making any request in Account Management.
If you’ve brought a friend to Tokotna (Yay!), please, guide them to the correct place within the Account Management Journal to activate their account.
Activities
A pair of new totems Eel and Gecko are now available for dominant activities! These totems can be unlocked by completing 100 caves and dives with a single Tokota.
AoAs
It’s time for our annual reminder! Remember to complete AoAs for the Tokota that you want to use for Tokotines in January, as Tokotines entry will take place over close!
Bank
Going forward, bankers will no longer add items you’ve forgotten. They will deposit everything listed in the form and let you know what you’ve left so you can submit it for deposit. It takes bankers extra time to add things forgotten, especially if more than one link has a missed item. Please make sure everything is in the form to have all your items deposited in a timely manner.
Bonding
Recently, we announced a Tier 2 and Tier 3 Bonding help guide, but until now the page had not been active on Tokotna. Oops! The T2/T3 Bonding Help Guide is here now, for real
Breeding
Abandoned Pups and Bone Flutes are seemingly a little more dark and mysterious! Abando and flute pups are now somewhat less likely to roll as tundra, and more likely to roll other, darker bases!
After much review, Akotas and Dakinos now get +2 Base Slots! This change has been applied to all existing Akotas and Dakinos. You can find more information in the Slot Guide.
Royal Razor starters are in the pool, and the mane variant can roll on Abandoned Pups and Bone Flutes!
Crafting
The Foxy Brew has joined the Build Booster items, and increases your chances at getting a Sinaka in breedings.
A bevy of brand-new beverages have joined the Legendary Drinks!
Nestoko Tea allows you to post an extra starter breeding.
Mira Matcha Latte lets you shrine 10 more slots each month.
Angiku Boba Blast allows you to complete a quest from the past!
Sillykino Cocoa lets you put in a CE entry that doesn’t count against your limits, and your Tokotas will be rolled against ghost opponents.
Competitions:
We’re still looking for another set of hands to help us out! Send those applications over!
Design Central
A new background is available from Borga’s Stone - Dreaming Waters.
Please be sure to use the most up-to-date forms to avoid going to corrections. The forms and Import Info Template are now linked in the thread comments for Main Thread, New Members, Soul Pool, and Import Updates.
Events
The Pack Leaders are kicking off the first Faction Brawl of 2025. They seem to be howling up a storm!
After a break following her big adventure as a spirit during Tokotas Plays LoRE, Wispy is reborn as Willow 74592 and joins our starters. Willow is also the founder of a brand new UT: Heroine’s Journey.
Factions
Reminder! Factions are reset each January, so be sure to join a Faction before you begin posting in various threads. Your initial Faction selection will not lower your Faction Rank or count as one of your three annual Faction changes.
Gardening
The beta for gardening will open on January 7! The beta will be available to all players.
Farmers Market has been updated with a host of new seed packets and dirt to get ready for the beta. You can now purchase seasonal and family seed packets, alongside the random seed packet.
HU
The HP Calculator will now default to Tokotna format. If you are using off-site trackers, you will need to deselect this in order to have your links formatted properly.
In the interest of reducing the risk of breaking any tokotna pages, links to deviations within the tokotna tracker “HP Breakdown” section will be sent to corrections. Please use the on-site HP calculator for your HP tracking as it will automatically give you the correct format.
Import Errors
Aippaq politely reminds you that many, many (most) Import Errors could be avoided by using the site-provided import references during the DC process. By simply copy/pasting from that list, you can prevent your sweet tokos from having to face Aippaq’s elevator music while they wait to be corrected. Seriously, though, PLEASE use this list: Import References.
Quests
Gaskin isn’t quite finished with your Graveyard tokos. A short chain has been released: Ghastly Gaskin Graduate! This chain is only for Graveyard Tokos and will award them a badge on their profile.
There is a new line on the form for the new quest drink.
REs
Random Events are on a brief hiatus! Random Events will remain closed through March for a little TLC. (Plus, the bride really needed a little break from crying.)
TCA
The November edition of the TCA Rehoming Project and the Tokotas have gone to their new homes. Congratulations to the winners!
Apollo 73880 to @Dracoyena-Arpg
Hestia 73881 to @Skryzein
Bacchus 73882 to @OnyxianARPG
Three new wilds have been spotted, just in time for January taming!
Reuel WM344 and Jackie WF345 are ready and waiting to accept all your treats!
Scram WM346 isn’t interested in your treats, or bonuses either! Get ready for a truly wild round taming.
Tokotna
We have kicked off a small Beta for On-Site Activity Trackers. This will be very limited, and the full details on joining are on Discord. Find us there.
Tribes
Tribe Registration no longer requires a matching DA group to be included in the application! Though you may still include one if you wish.
Lots of Love,
JIll, Dun, Alcestia, Blaze, Crae, Ella, Flicka, Furreon, Gecko, Rhi, Kiras, LMFO, Sacred, Saph, Sprak, Sal, and all the rest
