Thornwick, the gardener vendor has been added to the former alchemist house in Britain, just east of the bank
Plain plant pots and regular dirt have been added to sales inventory of the gardening vendor
A new craftable "Waterbag" has been added to tailoring (no recipe required)
A new craftable watersource "Waterspout" has been added to tinkering (provides water for gardening and will automatically refill after a given period of time)
Garin Of The Green Thumb, the new gardening token vendor has been added to the game (in front of the gardeners house in Britain)
Garin will accept gardening tokens as currency to allow players to buy more fancy and efficient watersources like a fountain and a well, a composter to create dirt from organic waste and a watering can for more convenient plant watering.
Please note: gardening tokens are not yet available in the game, we are working on it :-)

The loot for the Headless Horseman and Necro Witch has been adjusted, with grave dust and other goodies added.
A new horse-and-cart delivery quest has been introduced. Garin of the Green Thumb, located near the alchemist in Britain, will ask you to deliver three large piles of soil to farmers in Britain, Minoc, and Yew. The farmers will provide rare seeds, which you must return to Garin in exchange for a gardening token. This token can be used to purchase items for the new gardening system.
-The asset for the undead dragon/drake has been updated. Necromancers can now raise undead wyverns, which will use the previous undead dragon asset. Please visit the item fixer in Britain to restore any colors or dyes on your undead dragons if applicable.

Hail, adventurers! Due to the roaring success of our last Paws explosion fest, we’re cranking up the chaos with a brand-new, heart-pounding event! This is no ordinary rerun—it’s bigger, badder, and bursting with madness! Get ready for 24 hours of non-stop action this weekend!
Keep your eyes peeled for Special Exploding Barrels popping up across the Town of Paws. These barrels are slippery—they’ll vanish in just 60 seconds, so sprint to snag one! Use them to blast open one of the two wells in Paws: one near the Brit Bridge, the other by Colleen the Gypsy. This time, we’ve got Guaranteed-Break Barrels—rare, barrels that will crack those stubborn wells open on the first try!
Smash a well, and you could score a Puzzle Chest stuffed with even more rare loot than before. But beware—bigger explosions mean more ferocious monsters guarding the wells, ready to test your mettle. These wells are tough nuts to crack, so bring your patience and determination!
