Krafties Kurios Grand Opening!
We’re proud to announce the unveiling of a brand new shopping experience available on Krafties Island! Come on down to Krafties Kurios, where we peddle a rotating assortment of rare goods and exclusive wares you can’t find anywhere else! The products offered in this shop change often, so you never know what might pop up next or what our zany shop manager might be looking to swap for. That’s right! Not only can the wares in this shop be purchased using the almighty dollar, but shoppers may also opt to trade in their hard earned loot for the shiny new goodies.
The first item offered up is a special one indeed… A brand new Eye Stone giving creatures a massive visual upgrade, making your companions more striking than ever before. Introducing Deep Amber, the first eye type in our brand new “Deep Collection” of eyes. A lot of love and care was put into creating a look that brings your creatures into the modern age. Check them out, we think you’ll like what you see! What can you swap for, you ask? Since this is new, we’re keeping the swap shop simple: buy them with L$ or KraftieCoins! The rare Eye Stones procured from the swap shop are transferrable.
Speaking of eyes, we’ve got something cooking we think you’ll like…
The Better Eye Project
Krafties is unique in many ways, and the eyes of our creatures are no exception. In order to make special items like Eye Stones function properly all creatures share the same base eye textures. Each species has an eye model specifically created to work with our existing textures, but when new textures get added into the mix small misalignments during the modeling process become apparent in some cases. We want to fix that!
Krafties is revisiting the eye models of all of our existing species and touching them up, or in a select few situations completely reworking them, in order to:
✩ Increase the visual fidelity of existing Eye Stones
✩ Make the look of Eye Stones more consistent across all of our species
✩ Remove undesirable artifacts presented in certain species/eye combinations
✩ Enable the development of future, higher quality eye types
This is slow, ongoing work. You can read more about The Better Eye Project by visiting Krafties Kurios!

Beta Necessity Pack v5.174
A new Beta Necessity pack is available on Krafties Island with a few minor patches to remedy issues that have caused some frustration and confusion:
- In prior versions, creatures changed/reloaded while in orb mode/captcha would become stuck in glitchy animation loops, and position themselves strangely around their handlers. This pack should remedy that issue.
- A longstanding script error that occurs when creatures level up too quickly, related to HTTP throttling, has been addressed
- Membership information stored in your active creature should now display correctly
- In previous versions, a bug prevented Creature Attachments from correctly saving their Spell On/Off and Assist On/Off settings. This has been remedied, and new players/new packs should always be able to be healed and assisted by default.
- The concept of “pet affinity” (labeled only as “Affinity”, not to be confused with “Elemental Affinity”) has been removed from pets
Thank you for supporting Krafties. Have fun!
