Decided to redo my painting as a digital piece for my book cover. It's free to read on AO3. Wanted to style this like a dust jacket :3

Hi! I’ve seen people say that the JP server now has missions for characters’ birthdays that if you complete them will give you one or two free ten-pulls on the characters’ birthday banners. Out of curiosity, what exactly are these missions and can you use the free pulls only on the specific characters’ birthday banners, or are they free transferable key sets? Thank you!

Yes! From the new Cozy Loungewear (twst wiki verbiage, literal translation: Relaxing My Room) cards, we now have a set of 20 missions that'll give small rewards. When 10 and 20 missions are fulfilled (see the gauge below), you'll get a tenfold summon (two total) to use on a special banner that contains the Birthday Boy's SSRs from the previous years.

So, for example it is currently Trey's birthday campaign. In addition to the newest card, there's also a banner for his Platinum Jacket, a banner for all the other older birthday cards (Birthday Boy, Birthday Jacket, and Bloom Birthday), and a special banner in which you can use these two free keys. The free keys banner shares a gauge with the combined birthday cards banner.

These keys can only be used on that specific special banner, so they cannot be saved.

Here are the missions:

Login during the campaign for 1 day: 2 Starshards S

Login during the campaign for 2 days: 5 Snacks S

Login during the campaign for 3 days: 5 Honey M

Craft 1 furniture: 10,000 Madol

Craft 2 furniture: 20,000 Madol

Take Special Lessons (with Birthday Boy) 3 times: 1 Starshards L

Take 20 lessons: 1 Moonshards L

Take 30 lessons: 5 Honey L

Take 40 lessons: 10,000 Madol

Take 50 lessons: 2 Starshards S

Take 60 lessons: 2 Snacks M

Take 70 lessons: 5 Honey M

Take 80 lessons: 1 Sunshards L

Take 90 lessons: 3 Tea L

Take 100 lessons: 20,000 madol

Invite Birthday Boy to Guest Room 1 time: 10 Honey L

Invite Birthday Boy to Guest Room 2 times: 1 Starshards L

Win 5 Collect Battles: 2 Snacks M

Win 10 Collect Battles: 10 Honey L

Win 20 Collect Battles: 1 Starshards L

It doesn't matter which 10 you clear first, just clearing 10 of them will get you the first free tenfold key, and three logins later, you'll be able to clear everything to get the second free tenfold key.

Tal'enthiel Sunshard 🔥

Had the pleasure to work on a Warcraft character. Old Warcraft Player here, also, I loved the old lore and stuff, and sin'dorei are one of my fav races. They have been through a lot.

Meet Tal'enthiel, a blood-elf Warlock, powerful and master on demon summoning. He strives for rebuilding Sin'doreis society strength, outside the Horde and Alliance eternal bickering. Strong willed guardian and protector of his people.

I cannot resist a good "the end justify the means", powerful and terrible yet protecting to the people he values the most" type of character.

Also, thanks to @talenthiel for commissioning me this! ❤️ Even If I complain about the armor rendering I loved this challenge.

Pss, some slots are still OPEN: Ko-fi Commissions 🌟

Meet Tav (Gustav the VIII)

Legal Name: Gustav the VIII, Future Duke of the House of Sunshard

Nickname / Aliases: Tav / That Foolish Brat He's not fond of his first name Gustav as he shares it with his father, his grandfather, and so forth in his lineage. It takes him a while to open up to Astarion, and later the others, about his proper name, past, and not-so-happy "privileged" life. His mother gave him the nickname Tav, and it stuck. It's his father and grandfather who usually call him "That Foolish Brat." Background: Noble Age: 26 Pronouns: He / Him / They Race/Subrace: High Half-Elf Alignment: Chaotic Good Deities: It's complicated. Lathander, Mystra, Loviatar and Ilmater Class / Subclass: Bard / Wizard Instruments of Choice: Flute / Violin / Lute Weapons of Choice: Hand Crossbows, Daggers, Staves, Mace and Shield

Love Interest: Astarion Their relationship was a bit bumpy at first. Although both were snatched up in Yartar they had not officially met until crossing paths on the beach after the crash of the nautiloid. Before that, as Tav performed in a tavern he had watched Astarion prowl the crowd night after night and eventually ended up whispering sweet nothings in another young nobleman's ear. Tav found the colorfully dressed elf handsome but by now knew a charlatan on the hunt when he saw one. He followed the two out in concern that Astarion was going to rob the other man or do something worse but the two of them ended up abducted instead. The noble Tav would like to think was spared. Astarion on the other hand at first assumed Tav an easy mark for later. Pretty but far too gullible, and idealistic given all who the half-elf helped. Astarion also presumed by the young man's attire and easygoing manner that he had zero understanding of hardship or the dark underbelly of this world.

Then, after learning the nature of all of Tav's physical scars and background, he was left baffled. He couldn't understand why anyone would flee from such a life of seemingly rich comforts and safety to barely eke out a living by performing music alone. But eventually, he came to realize just how trapped Tav felt in his old life. How the younger man had no room to breathe and be himself. It paled to his own suffering but the yearning for freedom was still something they both held in common and bonded over. Best Friends: Gale and Wyll Tav is friends with all of his companions. However, when it comes to Gale there is a mentorship aspect to their friendship as well due to they are both wizards. With Wyll they relate to one another deeply by being a part of nobility and an inability to obey or please their fathers.

Personality: Among his peers, he was always a touch aloof but polite at first. He's learned from court life to always be on guard and to listen more than talk. All to learn enough to unleash either the sharpest of retorts to anyone who dared to insult him first or the sweetest complement to charm. He maybe haughty at times, but only to cover up the fact he's actually quite shy when it comes to dealing with people, especially one-on-one. At his first ball, he soon found standing and chatting in a large group easier as it mostly involved observation. "So many like to hear themselves talk. I say let them," he decided with a smile. If any focus fell upon him, Tav learned quickly to pivot it to another when the need arose. It was only when he started to perform before a crowd, the more raucous and lower class the better, he found the courage to drop his mask at long last, cut loose, and rediscover his true playful self. "Why under that thin layer of ice you're as warm as a sunbeam and such a sweetheart," Astarion would tease but lightly. Bio: Tav was born to a rich family who can trace their lineage back farther than the founding of Baldur's Gate. Like most of the city's nobles, as the heir to his family line, he was highly educated and sheltered well beyond his childhood. He was also expected to find someone suitable and marry to continue the Sunshard line. Once puberty hit, however, Tav could no longer stand his family's guided cage or their carefully laid plans for his life.

At first woefully naive about the world beyond his family's garden wall and court life, he rebelled, ran away, and ended up with a few scars after a near-fatal fight. But from them, he also learned more about himself and life in general. Each time he wiggled free, he managed to stay out of his father's and grandfather's clutches a little longer. At first, it was a handful of days but by his late twenties, he managed to dodge them and survive all on his own for over a year.

In fact, on his recent nineteenth attempt, he had made it all the way to Yartar. There he hoped to finally be beyond his family's reach. He had been an established bard for a few months with no sign of any of his father and grandfather's hirelings or mutual acquaintances. He was at last happy and fully prepared to be disowned. A threat his father had made when they last spoke. But then one terrible night he along with Astarion and countless others were abducted by mindflayers.

Trapped in one of their pods his only small comfort was knowing his mother might continue to think he's only fled from the nest again. That he was out enjoying the world and doing what he loves. Unlike his father, she never begrudged him for taking off and only demanded he send word home to assure her of his safety now and then. Given all that's happened he's not sure where to begin and just how much he should leave out, least upset her.

She isn’t expressive when it comes to their facial expressions, but she makes up for body movement + voice

Radiant but their radiance has weird properties compared to others

Most of their inventory including her white cane is can be stored and summoned from the sunshards in her chatelaine

[iniini]

Guest Room Cleaning Drop Rate

Welcome to another too-many-numbers post with Mod Jeido.

If you're interested in some of the other posts, there's this one on Gauntlet drop rates, this one on ATK UP/DMG UP differences, and this one on Curse and Evasion activation rates.

We spent the last 6 months collecting gifts and adding to a spreadsheet in order to figure out approximate drop rates. These aren't absolute, but they're probably the closest we'll get without asking ANIPLEX directly.

I'll go more in-depth under the cut, but generally, these were the drop rates we saw for each category:

Stickers: 37.8%

Honey: 27.2%

Notepads: 12.3%

Textbooks: 8.5%

Gifts: 7.4%

Shards: 4.3%

Grimoires: 2.6%

We collected both from JP and EN and combined it for the percentages above, since it should be the same rate regardless. The analysis under the cut will delve into a little more detail. Please take each number as an "approximate" value, as some may be rounded.
