Greetings, fellow adventurers! This is the Elin State of the Game editorial team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following our inaugural issue, we are happy to say that the January issue was read by many of you as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, we’d like to share new information about Elin sent in from all over Ylva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the February issue of “Elin State of the Game,” out on Nyan Nyan Day (the 22nd), as always. This month, we’re packing in the extra nyan nyan nyans!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Nyanth\u2019s Update<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Check it all out!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the arrival of the new year last month, it seems like New Year’s themed items are starting to appear all over North Tyris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Fake Objects” have also been discovered, which will be revolutionary for adventurers who want to build their bases with particular care. If you go through the Moon Gate, you might be surprised by sights more elaborate than ever before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(For details on all updates, see\u00a0Ylvapedia<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Year’s Symbols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the villages of Mifu and Nefu, the custom of New Year’s decorations was passed down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One example is this gate pine. It is made from bamboo and pine, and its purpose is to welcome into the home the gods believed to dwell within the trees. Following this ancient custom, you might place one at the entrance to your base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A New Threat Lurking in Nefia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Recently, rumors of a new monster have been spreading among adventurers. Many stories involve people being suddenly attacked by a treasure chest. Adventurers who let their guard down have been left with painful bite marks on their arms. Be vigilant when exploring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A New Companion for Base Building: Fake Objects<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Good news for discerning base-building enthusiasts! These Fake Objects allow you to replicate the appearance of even non-portable objects. Create lush forests and vast wheat fields to your heart’s content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pull and Knock Back with Ease<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Mages Guild has received information about a new spell: “Telekinesis.” It can pull faraway objects closer and knock close objects away. Experienced adventurers may find unexpected uses for this spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
