VIRTUAL MAYHEM IN HABITICA AND APRIL SUBSCRIBER ITEMS REVEALED!
Virtual Mayhem in Habitica![]
April first has dawned in Habitica and across Habit City everyone is starting the morning, keeping a lookout to see what strange things may be in store.
Beffymaroo is on her way to the Tavern when she sees SabreCat holding a large plastic egg-shaped object. He’s looking at it with a puzzled expression, and it’s emitting beeps and other electronic noises.
"Sabe, what’s that?"
"Uh, well, I found it in my stable this morning where my tiger cub should have been!" says Sabe, still looking confounded. He turns the object around to reveal a screen with a pixelated face looking back at them. It emits a distorted meow.
"Wait a minute, did the Fool just change our pets into virtual pets?!" says Beffy.
In a burst of confetti, the April Fool appears, arms full of more virtual pets.
"Yes, you are witnesses to my new innovation! Today is your special limited time trial for Habitica’s Pets V.2.0! They’ll change back tomorrow, so definitely be sure to give them a whirl while you can. I think you’ll find they're quite a technological leap!"
"I’m not sure that us having to carry them around and push buttons is an improvement," laughs Sabe, "but they are very cute and retro!"
Equipping different pets will show different virtual pet designs. Have fun discovering them all and be sure to check out the April Fool’s Social Media Challenge for a fun chance to share your new pets, win gems, and be featured on the Habitica Blog!
April 2022 Subscriber Items![]

SPRING FLING HATCHING POTIONS, AN APPEARANCE BY THE MASTER OF ROGUES, AND LAST CHANCE FOR MARCH SUBSCRIBER ITEMS!
Spring Fling Hatching Potions![]
They're back! Between now and April 30, 2022, you can buy festive Polka Dot, Shimmer, and Celestial Hatching Potions from the Market and use them to hatch any standard pet egg. (Magic Hatching Potions do not work on Quest Pet eggs.) Magic Potion Pets aren't picky, so they'll happily eat any kind of food that you feed them!
After they're gone, it will be at least a year before these potions are available again, so be sure to get them now!
An Appearance by the Master of Rogues...[]
It’s a quiet late March mid-morning in the Tavern. Habiticans are bustling about, drinking their favorite morning beverages, and chatting about their tasks for the day.
Piyo and Beffymaroo sit at the bar, sipping on Daniel the Bartender’s special Productivi-Tea.
"I suppose it's about that time, the time of year when we start speculating about what sort of hijinks we can expect from the Master of Rogues come April first," starts Beffymaroo.
"Hm. What else is out there to do, he's done so many different pranks!" says Piyo. "Tiny pets, veggie pets, confection pets, color-reversed pets..."
A head with conspicuous bright blue and pink hair pops up unexpectedly from behind the bar.
"Oho!" exclaims the April Fool, surprising both Beffy and Piyo with his sudden appearance. "Don't doubt that I am hard at work, devising another delightful improvement to Habitica to deploy on my favorite day of the year."
"Does Daniel know you just... hang out back here?" asks Piyo.
"A delightful improvement you say," says Beffy, eyebrow raised.
"It's a surprise! But I promise this new feature will be virtually the greatest thing to ever happen to Habiticans!" the Fool replies. He leapfrogs over the bar and cartwheels all the way out of the Tavern, to the delight of all the patrons.
Stay tuned, it sounds like the Fool is up to his old tricks... or perhaps new tricks!
Last Chance for the Dauntless Dragonfly Set![]
Reminder: March 31, 2022, is the last day to receive the Dauntless Dragonfly Item Set when you sign up for a new Habitica subscription! Subscribing also lets you buy gems for gold. The longer your subscription, the more gems you get! Thanks so much for your support! You help keep Habitica running.

January 2022 Resolution Success Challenge and Take This Challenge[]
The Habitica team has launched a special official Challenge series hosted in the Official New Year's Resolution Guild. These Challenges are designed to help you build and maintain goals that are destined for success and then stick with them as 2022 progresses.
Check out the first New Year's Resolution Challenge of the year to start your path to resolution success! In Begin Your Quest, we're focusing on choosing realistic and achievable resolutions! One grand-prize winner will receive their choice of a one-month gift subscription to Habitica or 25 Gems when it closes on February 1st. Four lucky runners-up will get a 15 Gem prize.
Congratulations to the winners of December's Challenge, @CernyPie , @JHylander , @Taichi1 , @ashinten and @Polledra !
The next Take This Challenge has also launched, "You've Got a Friend in Me!", with a focus on showing appreciation for others' help. Be sure to check it out to earn additional pieces of the Take This armor set!
Take This is a nonprofit that seeks to inform the gamer community about mental health issues, to provide education about mental disorders and mental illness prevention, and to reduce the stigma of mental illness.
Congratulations to the winners of the last Take This Challenge, "Organize Your Inventory!": grand prize winner @redpeanuts, and runners-up @daffodilgirl, @Minikatz, @Cornelia_Swift, @whatthevillain, and @Rarstyak! Plus, all participants in that Challenge have received a piece of the Take This item set if they hadn't completed it already. It is located in your Rewards column. Enjoy!
