Lots of tips!!! We are a friendly community and always willing to help out!
First off...Welcome to Windlyn ( the avi's definitely are cute and sooooooo many items).
Click on shops above to see ALL the shops, the drop down bar does not show all of them.
Fish in the star pond every 8 hours for a chance at backgrounds and rare items. No items for the pond can be found in the shops ( other them member run shops) and they can be used in the quests.
Quest with EACH sister every 12 hours. Accept the quest and if you do not have the items then cancel the quest and try again later. Every other quest asks for star pond and/or shop items so it is possible to fulfill the challenge.
3 scores per game per day count for feathers. Make it on the top 100 list of the doughnut game and I will give you 100 feathers, beat my score and I will give you 500 feathers (just let me know you did it so I can check the scoreboard).
The help/support thread on the forums page gives you detailed explanations.
We have people with a variety of interests. If you like to draw then Kitalpha Hart will be starting her inktober thread where you can share your drawings for the month of October. She has a list of challenges if you need idea's.
We are always excited to expand our community so please join in!
