Arriving on 3/18/15!

This patch features four new mounts, including two new crafted corgis and two colors of FriedSushi's excellent Cookiephant mount. There's also a few new Knight skins in the chaos chest this week from player submissions (Bone Knight and Elysian Guardian) which will come to the store the following week. Both have some great new VFX, helms, and weapons. Overall this week we've really taking adventuring up a notch with more lairs and more loot. There's the adventure box, more loot from dungeons, and just a ton more lairs in general. Read on for the full list of changes!

== FEATURES==

COOKIEPHANT ADVENTURE BOXES
* Cookiephant adventure boxes are live!
* These are a new type of loot box that will rotate over time. Once they rotate out they may come back in the future, but likely not for some time!
* They drop relatively commonly from monster kills, and only slightly more often from quest chests.
* They commonly drop glim, flux, and other adventure resources. Uncommonly drop random style boxes and eyes of Q’bthulhu. And finally, they rarely drop the Blue and Pink Cookiephant mounts!
