The very first round of items are falling in the Public House chat room, located on the Aluriya world map or in the main menu under Community! You will need to actively participate in the chat room for a chance to pick up one of 8 new Snowflake Glitterfly deco items. Remember - please don't spam the chat to get items!
We have a major new feature incoming that will revolve around collections of items, so it's in your best interest to find the full collection of butterflies ^^.
Well. I derped yesterday and just realized it. The lyridae pool is open for real this time, with even more new designs! 
For those who don't know/remember, you can get a lyridae unique khim by trading in 200 lyridae totem stones to Aryx for a blossoming twig treat in Khimeros Caldera, or for 4 beads in the cash shop!
Layout too bright? Too saturated? You'd prefer a different color? You can now try out the Saturation, Hue and Brightness sliders on your layout theme of choice by going to Settings > Account > Site Options! The hue slider does not affect some images like aethers and items, while the other two sliders affect all aspects of the page.
The Lyridae unique khim pool has been filled up with a few new designs!
Hello, I am Hazer.
I've needed a distraction from a loss in real life and Aethria has become it.
I'm working with Onyx to restore the site to a functional and usable state, including adding features, fixing old ones and changing how things work to be more intuitive/easy to learn.
So far I've done:
- The Night Theme (code)
- Khim Checklist
- Site Chat (which included fixing NPC's and making sure item granting works!)
- Inkling Pen Update (still in progress)
- Fixed multiple deco system issues such as:
--- Some item grouping issues (some still remain but will be tackled soon)
--- Static equipables (such as items which will move and resize along side your aether)
- Changed the UI/Layout of Foraging to match Khimeros and extra changes to the page layout.
- Fixed Flora Tablet seed image generation so new flora tablets dont look broken
These are some of the changes i've made that i've kept track of.
There's also been minor UI adjustments here and there with more to come.
I'm currently working on/planning on working on the following right now:
- Inventory UI and Item Usage
- Aether View Page (so it's tabbed and neater much like the Khimeros Lair page)
- Growables UI update (I want to make it so it updates in real time so less refreshes needed)
- NPC system (ported from Khimeros and then with added support for item recycling as we're not happy with the current NPC system)
Of course there's a LOT more that we're aware of that needs adjusting/fixing and lots of ideas we have for adding but that is the short list of what I will be working on soon.
Can we have a hip hip hooray in the news comments for the revival of Aethria? :D
We are making progress at a furious rate! I hope I am not leaving anything off the list here...
First of all, we will NOT be removing aethers from the site!
Hazer is putting in the extra work to make the aether replication and fusion more user-friendly and intuitive!
The deco system is now also 100% functional and working as intended (as far as we know - please let us know if there are any glitches we haven't discovered)! Remember that if you want to use Inklings or Khims in deco, you need to add them to your deco chest!
The live chat now has NPC support and the ability to give out trinkets and items!
Foraging has now been updated to work like it does on khimeros, with a full-image grid, by popular demand!
Many more updates have been made to the UI on numerous pages (and more to come).
The "Mystic Garden" page has now been renamed to "Sacred Ground" to better reflect the lore of Calligra, and stone tablets being buried in the ground rather than planted in a garden like seeds. The seed pouch/egg basket is now the "Tablet Ark" in inventory. New backgrounds will be coming for both Inkling and Flora grounds!
Improvements have been made to the inventory page, with more to come.
Individual world map pages have been completely revamped.
The forums have been pruned to be more compact
User Search has been added to the Community Menu
The quickstart guide has been updated with a video tutorial added, and has been linked from the help menu. More video tutorials will be added!
A list of things we're working on has been added to a pinned post in the User Help and Questions subforum, you can comment on the post to discuss or make suggestions!
