Winter Snowfall Festival

2025 Ushers in the Year-Long Starfall Celebration!
Every 25 years, Culario joins together in celebrating the Celestials and their blessings given to all.
Every once in a while, The Great Soosh and the Celestials will bestow gifts to Culario for the respects paid.
There are great talks of many Sooshes developing features that belong to the Mythical Sooshes, and it is believed that these are gifts from the Celestials themselves as a great thanks for the excitement of the festivals in the previous years.
Starfall Celebration has brought in a new permanent daily!
Spending a few Cookies each day to whisper a wish has brought down gifts from The Great Soosh and the Celestials.
What will you earn each month for it? You'll just have to wait and see...
New Activity & The Wishing Fountain
It seems like you'll need to keep up with your wishing to prove your dedication to unlock The Wishing Fountain...
Check out what you need using the new Activity: Craft Starfall Lantern!
What next?
The return of the Magic Questline is upon us... Which also means some changes regarding its purpose and how things are related to the new additions above.
If you're interested, I recommend beginning the daily above and keeping up with it to start your journey!
The Winter Snowfall Festival is almost over!
January - February is our Winter Snowfall Festival!
Join us for a limited event featuring a questline of prompts, event currency, seasonal items, a new foraging area, and more!

Thank you for understanding.
Trait Changes
As we rework the Mythical Questline, we've adjusted a few things on-site for purposes that will make sense when the Magic Prompts return.
Magic (Rarity) has been renamed to Capability (Rarity)
Magic Affinity (Category) has been renamed to Magic (Category)
Attuned (Magic) trait has been added.
Item Changes
New items to replace others, and some new art to finally fill in those missing gaps on-site!
Whisker Comb has been added to swap Sushi Cats into Sushi Hamsters and vice versa, and is now stocked in Pommelraie's Salon for 1500 Cookies
Seasonal Trait Boxes in the Koinpeito Shop have been swapped out for Premium Seasonal Bags.
This was a simple change to make sure members could resell items they bought with KP as needed. These bags do not open - they just need to be attached when you want to use an appropriate trait!
Updated Item Art
Celestial Requests now have their appropriate art!
Seasonal Blessings have also been given art to go with the updates!
And some more secrets that will be unveiled in time...
Currency Changes
New Currency: Fallen Stars 
Koinpeito are molded after fragments of a fallen star, and it looks like the Starfall Celebration has strengthened these stars to be in-tact as they fall!
This currency is special and can only be earned via the Whisper Wish daily.
There's also other goodies if you make a wish every day.
Do note that it costs 5 Cookies to make your wish - if that is worth the cost is up to you!
Updated Currency Art
The seasonal Essences have new art and icons now as well!
These will be what you need to purchase items that will grant Mythical traits; how to earn them as it stands is a mystery...
MYO Slot Changes
Many of you have noticed that Make-Your-Own Slots have a new image!
Look at that snug Soosh...
MYO Slots have been needing an adjustment for a long time, and that has finally happened!
In the past, the slots were locked into the Sushi Dog species and Staple rarity. This meant if you were creating a MYO Sushi Cat or Hamster, the mods had to correct the traits after approvals.
This is now no longer the case! The slots have No Rarity and No Species, so you're free to select everything yourself. This means from now on, MYOs should be submitted with every intended trait, Rarity, and Species.
You can always ask for help in the Discord server - we know the traits can be overwhelming at times!
We hope this change streamlines the approvals process further for mods and members alike.
Thank you everyone!
General Announcements
Check out Mod Secret Soosh!
Every year, the mod team take on their own version of Secret Soosh where instead of art, we create each other some Sooshes instead! These babies are extra special and come with some higher rarity traits, so why not check them out?
Images shown are the initial designs: you may see updated designs on their masterlist entries!

I want to brag about how amazing each design was, and how much love was put into this by the team. It's one of my favorite parts of being a team together, and I hope the community loves these new Sooshes as much as we do.
Reselling Items Clarifications
Item descriptions are being updated to reflect these, but as a general note, only items purchased with Koinpeito can be resold for USD. Any other site items cannot be sold for USD and will not be reflected via the value of a Soosh when used.
I do my best to make site items earnable via site use, so I suggest looking into participating to earn desired traits! If not, they are always sold in a Premium variant in the Koinpeito Shop. Premium Items can be resold for USD, so you don't have ot feel trapped with them if you change your mind about using them!

Looks like a few new images and changes are happening amongst the site... and that many of you will unlock The Wishing Fountain next month. Who will be the first to earn a Mythical trait?
Better keep your drawing tools nearby, because soon you'll set on your journey to take on a request from a Celestial!
But first... you'll need to learn how to control your own magic power!
