Dear Amor,

Rather than commenting in the forum, my first thought is to send you a maramail. Since that's no longer possible, here we are. How was your Hawaii trip? What did you do? How did your dogs react when you got home? How are they doing?

Things have been going awry one after the other for the last few months, so life feels hectic. You leaving Mara kind of fit in with that theme. The year of the snake will bring a lot of change which is always difficult. Hope you're doing well.

Well, I've decided that the Labyrinth isn't worth it at all since the Charms and Voodoo Dolls shops barely stock. It would be bad enough if they stocked and I was spending RP/BP to go back and forth between levels and failing most of the time. But since I burned through my stockpile of charms and dolls and can never buy any unless it's overpriced items from user shops, it's not worth it. I wanted to at least get past level 57 of Eleka Castle goals (yes, more levels were recently added - yay!) but I'm not spending 1.5mil for a charm I need for a 10% chance of making the goal after failing three times in a row. So maybe next year. I'll just keep hoarding magnets, codes and ransoms until I can get charms and voodoo dolls again.

Sixteen new tattoos were released in various shops around Marada on the 9th, and now 17 new items were released in the tattoo shop today. Kind of makes that year of grinding Wonky for tattoos for Lowlyhood goals seem like a total waste of effort. Of course, when new items come into a shop, the shop stops stocking at all, so good luck to those trying to buy anything. Maybe in several months.

Anyway, Ian commented that there will be more face makeup and really, more of everything being released later in the year so I think I'll put Lowlyhood goals off until next year instead of wasting Wonky on trying to get all the retired stuff. I've learned my lesson with the tattoos. I don't have a lot of time to play so I have to save Wonky to accomplish things that wouldn't be possible otherwise. *Edit from my future self: the Shimmer face and eye make ups don't count towards the goals so I guess I have a lot of Wonky to do still.

It is exciting that goals are expanding and I'm hoping there will be more rewards for pet stats coming. Glad to see all the updates lately. Mara is still my favorite escape aside from Kdra
