The rangers need your help!
The Rangers Corp. has requested a special team for an on-planet expedition to ensure the safe capture and release of a species native to Jurupa Forest called the Koronok.
The Koronoks have suffered from unprecedented population decline over the last two cycles. Without a clear answer, things look dire. ARC Labs has agreed to help in finding the reason behind the decline and hopefully a solution to save the species so the Koronoks can be reintroduced. To help ensure the safe capture of many individuals, the Rangers Corp. is looking to recruit those with previous experience or interest in the following fields: animal handling, capture and release techniques, and familiarity with Jurupa's greater environment and ecology.
Interested in helping out the Koronoks' cause?
Consider visiting your local Rangers recruitment office to submit your application today!
Thank you for your interest and assistance. Together we can ensure the survival of this unique species!
Build traps and bait through the Crafting tab to get a chance at capturing a Koronok. Koronoks come in 3 color variants and using different baits in a trap will boost the chances of getting certain variants! However, be prepared to encounter sick Koronoks! Sick Koronoks can be healed by administrating medicine to them. Healing sick Koronoks also comes with a bonus of earning their Index page!
You can learn more about crafting traps & bait and healing Koronoks by visiting the Koronok Turn-in Prompt!
See you out in Jurupa forest! We need all the help we can get!
Mushroom madness!
Failure is a part of learning.
It has come to ARC's attention that the outbreak of non-native fungal spores present in Harbor two cycles ago, assumed to be contained then, has in reality established a troublesome population in Jurupa Forest. The moderate year-round climate and heavy precipitation has made this an ideal location for their growth- but their establishment is disaster for the local Koronok population.
Koronoks are primarily fungivores so it is imperative ARC collect specimens to learn more about these alien mushrooms and the similarities and differences between the invasive and native species and how they are effected.
Every day, you can attempt to collect a mushroom by Foraging!
These mushrooms are necessary ingredients for creating medication to immunize the Koronoks against the invasive, poisonous fungi and they are of great interest to ARC's scientists for study. There are 9 fungi foragables in total; collect a set of all 9 by the end of the month and submit them to the Mushroom Turn-In Prompt!
Get out there and start foraging! The Koronoks' fate depends on it!
Event Prompts
Participating in these two limited-time prompts to gain Orbits, extra raffle tickets for our Mega Raffle, and other special prizes!
Rescue, Rehabilitate, Release
In this prompt, draw or write about your Xero participating as a Ranger in the Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Release program.
How does your Xero interact with or observe the Koronoks? What is your Xero's task in helping with the program? How would they safely do so while being careful to not stress the animals? Do they bring special tools to assist them with this task? Clothing or gear?
Participating in this prompt awards 1 Twilight Carnival Badge, 3 Orbits, 1 Advanced Trap, 1 Seasonal Basket, and 10 tickets to our Mega Raffle!
Charity Donation Event
For those that are new here, every once and a while we like to get the community together to donate to a charity to help a cause out and get the community some special rewards to boot!
Did you know that black-footed ferrets were thought to be extinct until a small population of them was discovered in the early 1980s? The surviving population of just 18 animals were brought into captivity for a breeding program.
Every 10 USD donated to the charity gets you a Premium Produce item, as well as 1 Orbit! We are capping the donations to 30 USD a person! You may receive up to 3 items and 3 Orbits in total! You may donate more, but you will not receive any additional rewards!
Each prompt may only be submitted once per user!
These event prompts END on Saturday, November 30th AT 11:59 PM EST / 8:59 PM PST

The sights are one thing, but to most, the best part of the Twilight Carnival is the food. From all corners of AREZ space, people come and bring the tastes and smells of their homes, culminating in a huge street festival full of sharing and new experiences.
This year we are curious about foods from other planets... maybe even your home, Earth!

Lore questions
★ What are the Koronoks? Where do they live?
Koronoks are mammal-like noodly little vertebrates that spend their days hiding in small crevices and hollows in the giant trees of Jurupa forest. Their many limbs have dexterous paws for grasping branches and their extremely long tails helps them stay balanced, even when navigating the narrowest of twigs. Koronok emerge at night to feast on the bountiful native mushrooms found throughout the forest.
Size: 20-25 in / 50-64 cm
