bye bye babies 😭😭😭 purple bubbles my beloved...food items next?? 😸

snowywinter • 1 week ago

NOOOOOOO!!!! THIS is the day I've been dreading. Been trying to stock up on as many as I could and I was still under 50 each of most. : ( Except Purple Bubbles... which I was about to make a trade post for buying more of >.<

I hate those many new and not that good items/travels for taking places of old good ones. Those I collect are getting retired. I used to get all my creatures with 1 travel (Ark Fields). Retired. Then Field of Flowers. Retired. Oh God

kataclysm • 1 week ago

Lots of good ones retiring here - hope retiring extends to other items but also hope we see a way to reacquire these items in the future. Vend token exchange, NPC store...

Ian • 1 week ago

Monthly item retirements will now be a monthly occurrence on the 26th of every month. In this particular post, it's all Travels but in the future it will be 4 items from each shop that are retired per month. Heads up! 😸 ❤️

cloudslay3r • 1 week ago

@kataclysm Love the idea! And good to know 👀

snowywinter • 1 week ago

Thank you for the heads up Ian, it is much appreciated. / (I just wish we had even a week's advance notice of WHICH ones so we all have a *chance* to squirrel more away.)

flower • 1 week ago

lol someone just bought my south central ark forest travel ...

pjbuzzy • 1 week ago

oop, congrats to the people who bought all of the copies of these guys i sold for below restock price earlier in the month lol #YouLiveAndYouLearn

snowywinter • 1 week ago

My prediction: Tasma Plushies will be among the next batch to go : (

mesopelagic • 1 week ago

rippp so many old and iconic items 3 gonna miss those pretty space ones especially!!

geddra • 1 week ago

Those are some lovely travels Hate to see them go

toebeans • 1 week ago

Really hate losing items and not having a reasonable way to earn/find them. Especially travels. >:c

snowywinter • 1 week ago

Wait, @Ian, are Trinket Travels still exempt? We haven't had any new ones in a while. And wouldn't we run out eventually if new ones aren't being made for the new creatures? Or are they going to start being made again?

seraph • 1 week ago

y'all be campaigning for items to retire, but when they do you guys get mad...?

heatherm19 • 1 week ago

I was just thinking about trinkets, haven't had any in a long time! .. I'm really bummed about these. I *really* wish we had a little bit of notice so that we could stock up before this happens. Well, everyone clammering for item retirements, it's monthly now! Sighhh.

chaotictreat • 1 week ago

Noooooo ☹️ I'm missing like half of these ☹️ can't we have a warning like with vend stock?

valorieviolet • 1 week ago

We just lost Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, now this?!

minnie298a • 1 week ago

Why did I think Firestorm Skies was already retired? Thanks for the heads up on a date stuff will retire. As a side note, I'm fine with the "Surprise" element. If you like something, buy it now.

heatherm19 • 1 week ago

@valorieviolet WAIT WHAT?!?! ....... Not Dolly. *cusses out the universe*

valorieviolet • 1 week ago

@heatherm19 I'm so sorry you found out this way 😭

raccoon • 1 week ago

I'm SO relieved I managed to get everyone on @gentle traveling... Butterflies in a Rainbow was a PAIN to get 500 of. I will once again suggest a small chance of getting retired items as rewards from quests so they're not completely taken out of circulation. 😊

dragiigy • 1 week ago

Yesssss!!!!! Good news!!!!

kediset • 1 week ago

suddenly one became more appealing to me and I regret only having one copy... ah well lol.

snowywinter • 1 week ago

On a side note... I haven't been *as* frantically saving up toys because of the retired reusable factor. Well I found out it's only the r100s that are. I accidentally used one (r55) I had few of and it broke the other night. : (

cosmia • 1 week ago

😭

dragiigy • 1 week ago

@Ian , can you add Option: Retired items in Strongroom?

isis • 1 week ago

Man, I hate travel retirements. Byebye my beloveds

ygaria • 1 week ago

I'm sorry to see these go. I'm new, so I've only seen a few of them, and didn't buy most of those but it's okay. These travels are something that older players can enjoy having, especially if they can remember them coming out.

maru • 1 week ago

LAKESIDE NOOOOOOOOO

nexu • 1 week ago

so sad, I love so many of them

kataclysm • 1 week ago

@raccoon technically there is a low chance of encountering retired items as quest prizes. As someone with over 1000 quests this month (oof), I haven't encountered a retired item that wasn't a sandrodon toy. The odds are SO low.

kataclysm • 1 week ago

@ian maybe you could be super cool and revisit how often retired items turn up in quest rewards... ? 💙

snowywinter • 1 week ago

@kataclysm Wow. that is so incredibly unfortunate. I always wondered what the luck was in getting Retired items from Quests. (Not I know. still Not enough to entice me.)

kataclysm • 1 week ago

@snowywinter every now and again I think about collecting the data from quest rewards for the purpose of recording the frequency of retired items, but it would literally be so demotivating hah. Definitely noticed it's usually a Sandrodon item on those rare occasions though!

snowywinter • 1 week ago

@kataclysm yeah when I was new I used to record every little thing from events. approaches, times, rewards, item ID, etc... I had to quit doing that to keep the motivation to still participate. So i get it. Sometimes it's enough to have a general sense.

blub • 1 week ago

NOoo ☹️ I get it, too many travels, but I like so many of these, and I always grab them if I can (but you can't get them always because they aren't always in stock and some are more expensive).

blub • 1 week ago

Can't we have a heads up thou? Then I'd be at least on the look out for the ones that I otherwise only get when I have enough EC, that are otherwise too expensive to always get.

spiritkoi • 1 week ago

Oh wow I remember when a bunch of these came out, I’m glad I have at least one/have already used these travels but very sad to see them go…

aedia • 1 week ago

😭 will miss them!! ❤️

galactic_pigeon • 1 week ago

Rest in peace my beloved travels

myriadium • 1 week ago

@kataclysm that's be awesome! a small chance of dropping retired items from their respective quest givers. manjul will be sick of me!!

chapus • 1 week ago

NOOOOO NOT LAKESIDE AND SCARY AUTUMN FOREST...... man we really need to have a better way to get retired travels again ToT

dragiigy • 1 week ago

@kataclysm Once, upon a time, for few weeks, it was np to get retired item, but also need them in a quest. After short periiod, it was cancelled and I didn't get a single retired Item yet. For years! Well, some I did. But you can also win them in game Wall of Sand...

kataclysm • 1 week ago

@dragiigy I remember that! It was a bug I think? But yeah quests asked for retired items and spat them out at a really high rate for a very short while.

ba1 • 1 week ago

Crazy how I got at least 2 of these lol. Until next time!

pipkitten • 1 week ago

"I didn't think they'd retire the good old travels!" cry the people who always request mass old item retirement

lacewingswift • 1 week ago

We got what we wanted, but at what cost ^^" Tried to stock up on some of these in preparation for this day, but alas, for my favorites, it is always too soon.

veritaspunk • 1 week ago

@lacewingswift No regrets here :-P, especially if retired travels/items can be obtained through other site events & activities. :-)

sonny • 1 week ago

this is extremely upsetting 🥲 i never thought i'd be old enough to see so many OG travels retire
