INFORMATION
I have some terrible news. Unfortunately while attempting to update the site to include character inventories and item stacks, something went wrong and the sign was deleted. All accounts and items were erased so what should have taken an hour or two at max has resulted in 8+ hours of trying to fix and recover information.
Due to this, some parts of the site remain down and have not been able to recover.
Things effected:
- All user accounts were deleted and were not recoverable. This means that everyone who had an account will have to remake their accounts and re-link their deviantart accounts. It is uncertain if your characters will automatically return or if they will have to be manually transferred.
- Clicking the masterlist gives a 500 error. However, character information is still saved, you just can't view them at this time.
- All past news posts have been deleted. This makes me incredibly sad as this included some update logs and past events.
- All items were deleted and had to be manually re-uploaded. All items are currently missing their descriptions but will be added back over the new few days.
- All inventories were removed due to the items being deleted. This means that your bank and inventories will be empty. However, your currency (bank) logs should be available to view. Your purchase history (but not your inventory item logs) should also be available for each shop. This means that your items and currency is manually recoverable. All you need to do is screenshot all your logs and PM them to Toffee-tama on Discord so I can manually return all your items.
- All the prompts were deleted. This means all the main prompts will need to be re-uploaded. This month's prompt has already been re-uploaded.
- All loot tables were deleted. Since the items that made up the tables were deleted, all table information has also been erased and will need to be re-uploaded over the next few days.
- All traits were deleted. They will need to be manually re-uploaded. It's unsure if this has affected the masterlist entries as they are currently not viewable.
With all these issues, please be patient as it will be at least a week or two before the site can be returned to normal. You will still be able to work on your prompts, however, please wait until the next update to submit.
As an apology for the inconvenience, all users will be awarded 10EC when they recover their inventories.
Thank you - Toffee-tama

Merchandise is still a WIP, but is still being planned for the cash shop in the next month or two. I currently have badges made, but I'd also like to offer other items as well to help justify the shipping costs, which unfortunately are quite high at the moment due to Corona.
Shipping is going to be around $15, even if the package is regular envelope size and less than 100g, which was quite a shock to me since I don't really send stuff so I wasn't aware the price was so crazy. As a consumer, I personally wouldn't be interested in buying one or two badges and paying that much for shipping, which is why I'd like to have as much variety in the shop as possible. Things I'm working on/thinking about making include: Stickers, bookmarks (with cute little tassels), 6x4 prints (either my good art and/or character prints), magnets (so, mangnet versions of the badges kind of thing) and enamel pins (this one I'm in the process of ordering, it will be of Elena and I'll post the samples when I receive them <3)
I'd also like to thank everyone for being so understanding and supportive during the whole crash situation! I'm about 98% sure everything is back to normal now or close to it.
Thanks everyone!
]]>Just a quick update for you all, merchandise is now available in the cash shop!
There's only a few things available for the moment, but more will be added over time.
Currently available:
- 6" x 4" NPC Character Prints
- NPC Button Badges 25mm / 0.98"
- Elena Bookmarks
- 6" x 4" Experimental Prints
So if you'd like to support me, please consider checking out the shop: https://beanling-patch.myshopify.com/collections/merchandise
On a side note, I'm also working on a youtube channel. I'm mainly making speedpaints. I'm learning very slowly, but I'd also appreciate your support if you'd like to watch my videos!

]]>Just a small update to give you all a heads up of what's been happening.
The cash shop has been changed to the Merch shop and now directs to the new merchandise shop: https://teespring.com/stores/beanlingpatch
Where you can buy shirts and other merch of Beanling Patch! I'm still trying to find a sustainable way to sell my other merch like my Elena enamel pins and badges and hope to update soon with a solution. Unfortunately, shopify was way too expensive for the amount of sales I make.
Thank you!
]]>I believe I finally have a solution to all the issues I've been having with the cash shop plus I have some small updates for anyone interested. Details below:
Merch Shop:
- Teespring merchandise shop: https://teespring.com/stores/beanlingpatch
- Purchase t-shirts, sweaters, jumpers, long sleeve shirts, phone cases, die cut stickers, bags, posters and mugs here!
- Will be updated with new designs every couple of months. If you'd like to support Toffee or just show off your love for beanlings this will be the main place to do so!
- Items purchased from this store are made and handled by Teespring, meaning Toffee-tama is not physically involved in making or shipping these items. These items are shipped from the US and some items are only available in the US.
Cash Shop:
- Cash shop tab has been re-added to the shop menu.
- Store link: https://beanlingpatch.my-online.store/
- This is the place to buy items for the Beanling Patch game including MYO tokens and items.
- You can also purchase certain special merchandise personally from Toffee-tama here including: enamel pins, 6x4" prints, badge pins and custom art!
- Merchandise from this store is physically made and/or handled by Toffee-tama including packaging and shipping. These items are shipped from Australia.
Small update:
So with the cash/merch shop pretty much settled, I feel like I don't really have to worry about it anymore. The problem I was having with the shopify store was the monthly cost vs sales, however, I have moved to cash shop to a free e-commerce platform that allows me to do most of the same things, but for free. The only downside being the lack of customization with the site layout, but I think that that's an ok trade off all things considered. Also, I think I've made the design not 100% terrible, so it should be fine ahaha.
In other news, Halloween is fast approching! If you haven't been in the discord, I've had my arm twisted into making an event for October. So please do look forward to something a little special for Halloween <3
Also just a heads up that there is also going to be an Winter Wonderland Event this December again. I'm not 100% on the details, but EC will be awarded for this event. I will also be collaborating with the lovely Ceruleansblues for the Winter advent! We are super excited to be working together and bringing you some cool winter designs!
Have a lovely day everyone!
]]>Just another small update. Introducing the Pawn Shop.
This shop contains crafting materials which can be bought with Pawn Tokens. You can earn Pawn Tokens by converting your extra crafting materials and certain items via the box mechanic.
See here for all the information on Token conversion.
Also, just a heads up that Halloween is here!
See here for all this months prompts!
There are 4 prompts/activities available this month.
Thank you!
]]>Their Traits can be found here: https://beanling-patch.com/character/BEAN-00151
So if you're interested, please head over to Deviantart to bid!
]]>INFORMATION
- MYO tokens are now Pawn Token convertable, meaning you can now "open" you MYO tokens to convert them into Pawn Tokens. Their values have been added to their item descriptions.
- Going forward, monthly prompt entries will be accepted around 24-72hrs after submission instead of at the end of the month as previously done. This is to keep things more organized on the admin side.
- Just a reminder than you can make up to 3 entries for this months prompt! That means you can earn up to 3 times the rewards!
- Also a heads up that Novemeber will be a casual month with only the regular monthly prompt, however, December will be Winter Wonderland once again!
Thank you! - Toffee
]]>INFORMATION
If you haven't noticed, the site has been down for the last few days due to a major site update that resulted in Toffee-tama having to reinstall the site. However, all of you data is safe and everything should be working as normal with a few new additions!
Due to the site being down for a few days I have decided to extend this months prompts! The new end date for all Halloween Events (including BOSS) has been extended until the 11PM AWST on the 4th Novemeber.
If you continued to make your BOSS attempt during the outage, please submit all your prompt claims now. I will continue to award the trick or treat boxes as normal after work tomorrow.
That should be most things covered. Thank you everyone!
]]>It's been a rocky 8 days, but finally all the new new updates are here and the site should be working 100% (though let me know in the discord error chat if you find any!) Hopefully this is the last updates for a while and I have learnt quite a bit so I'm better prepared for next update whenever it is (hopefully not for ages plz!)
Regarding other things:
There is not new monthly prompt for Novemeber due to all the site issues. However, that means that all the October events including BOSS have been extended until the end of Novemeber! You may also submit up to 6 entries for the monthly prompt!
Design updates and MYO approvals are also now open once again.
Also, be on the look out for information regarding a special Beanling Patch secret santa MYO exchange being run by the lovely Spottednova and Ceruleans_blues!
That should be most things covered. Thank you everyone!
]]>I'm offically sharing the information regarding the player run MYO Secret Santa exchange <3 This event will be run by the lovely Spottednova and Cerulean_blues.

Also just a remindert that there's only a few days left to complete this months prompts!
That should be most things covered. Thank you everyone!
]]>Happy New Year! I hope everyone has/had a wonderful start to the new year. I hope that 2021 will be a great year.
I just want to give everyone a quick heads up on some future plans/timeline for Beanling Patch 2021!
January:
February:
March:
April:
May:
June:
July:
August:
September:
October:
Novemeber:
Decemeber:
Those are my plans so far for the start of the year <3 I thought I should share this with you guys, especially my planned time for Sprouting as I know some of you are also planning on entering similiar events around the same time (me too ahaha). I'm planning for the events to be a bit more chill so I can take a little tiny break. I would like to maybe spend some time updating art and information for the site, maybe expand on the lore a bit more, just little things to make the world more emersive. I would also like to work on a lore-based story driven set of monthly prompts - probably something short to start with, but eventually I would love to run a long event where the prompts tell and over-arching story. But we will see how it all goes ahaha.
Thanks everyone for supporting Beanling Patch, I really wouldn't be able to do all this without you guys!
PS. New Prompt is now live! https://beanling-patch.com/prompts/prompts#prompt-16
]]>For once the updates did not mess up and everything went smoothly, well, for the most part, there is of course a small error.
Also, just a quick note, if you guys have any questions about the group lore or anything relating to beanlings, please feel free to leave a comment with your question. I am planning to delve deeper into beanling lore and their world and start to flesh out some things this year so it would be nice to know if anyone has anything in particular they would like to know!
That should be most things covered. Thank you everyone!
]]>(Design #2 is the winner!)
You can see the responses here!
Hey everyone, this event kind of got left behind due to all the issue around Halloween then moving straight into Winter Wonderland.
However, I have remember now, so a winner must be chosen by the lovely players <3
Chose the winner of the Pumpkin Carving contest!
Vote here for your favourite design!
The winner will be drawn on the 21st Jan, so there is 7 days to vote!
Thank you!
]]>
I just wanted to make a quick announcement on site just to clarify a few things in case you're not in the discord/active there.
After the recent update, there were a couple of issues with DA verifications, 419 errors, 404 errors, 419 errors when trying to submit causing login issues, etc. I just want to say that at present, all of these issues have been fixed! You should be free to use the site as normal with hopefully no issues.
I just want to give a big thank you to everyone for all your patience! I understand that the issue can be annoying, however, coding is quite a difficult task, in particular, the issues we face on the live site (here) in regards to DA verification, 419 errors and anything server related cannot be replicated in the local offline site that I run all patches through. While I do try my best to make sure that all updates are able to transition smoothly, most of the time an unforeseen issue will arise once the internet is involved. Also, syntax errors like to come to life every now and again when users try things I don't normally do on the local.
Anyways, I just want to say sorry for all the buggy issues with the site every update, I really do appreciate all your patience and understanding when it comes to this! I do aim to try my best and get things working asap so that no one missed out on anything. You guys really are the best community <3
Also a shout out to all the new members! Welcome, we hope that you will have a lot of fun here!
PS. just a reminder, if you have any issues, please do reach out to Toffee-tama, especially on the discord where we have a site-errors-and-bugs channel just for site specific issues.
]]>Just a small update to let you all know what is happening!
At the moment there is a back-end issue with claims/submissions. This means that submissions cannot currently be processed. This issue is being worked on but it seems to be more complex than usual. However, submissions are still open so please do submit if you have finished a prompt, there will just be a delay with receiving your rewards.
The above issue is similarly, but not quite the same in effect on the local test server. The reason for the test server issues relate to the upcoming Levels and Stats extension. However, once that issue is fixed it is hopeful that the live site issue will also be fixed.
There will be an upcoming update in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed there will be no issues. The following features are going to be implemented:
I also want to notify everyone of the adopt schedule for this month and next:
Once again thank you so much everyone for your patience with the site! I hope you all have a lovely day!
]]>I hope you are all doing well! I am just checking in to let everyone know about the recent site updates/errors. Hopefully this will be the last major update for a few months and all existing errors will be fixed soon too.
This issue is fixed, but if it is affecting you please reach out asap.
Levels and Stats:
Recipes:
Awards:
Research Trees:
Event Tools:
Thanks once again for your patience. I really appreciate everyone being so calm despite the many issues with the site. I'm trying my best to work through all the issues, however, I am not a developer or coder so it is quite difficult. However, I know we will get there eventually.
Thank you!
]]>Just letting everyone know that there has been a update to the Terms of Service. Please give it a read to make sure you understand the new changes.
Additionally, I'd like to offically announce that Ceruleans_Blues is now our first offical group moderator! A big thank you to Ceru for agreeing to work with me and help moderate the group.
Also a reminder that there is still time to place your Sprouting requests if you haven't already! Don't forget you can submit your flowerlings as singles or pair with NPCs if you're struggling to find a partner!
Thank you everyone!
- Toffee-tama
]]>Just a small update regarding the new crafting recipe system.
So once the sprouting flaffle is over, I will be taking a break from the adoptable side of things. This simply means that April and May will only have 2-3 adoptables by Toffee-tama. Then from June to August Toffee-tama will not be releasing any adopts (Apart from the Patreon exclusive). However, guest artists will be making adopts during this time, namely our moderator Cerulean_blues!
During this break, Toffee-tama will be working on more personal art as well as focusing on the following:
If things go smoothly, the site should be looking pretty awesome, more user friendly and fun!
However, by the end we will hopefully have fixed the login/DA connect issue and be back to working order!
There is no set time for when maintenance will start, just that it will start today and hopefully be done by 5pm AWST. Updates will be made in the discord while the site is down.
Thank you everyone!
]]>Toffee-tama here with some good news! Site maintenance has gone off without a hitch! What does this mean?
Bug Fixes:
Visual Update:
Site Upgrades:
Future Plans:
I hope everyone has a Happy Easter! Please look forward to an Easter themed adoptable sale this Sunday!
]]>I'm very happy with how they came out and I actually really like the concept so I might make these some kind of official sub-species for Beanling Patch. Not sure what I would call them but the idea is that they are kinda like spirit foxes? They are fae creatures who have the top half of a fox and the bottom half of a spirit.
Anyways, they are functionally just Familiar tokens with designs, so buy purchasing one you will get a Basic Familiar on the BP site which can be applied to any beanling<3 If you guys like them, I might be open for some custom designs <3
Price: 15USD
1. Pre-claimed
2. Pre-claimed
3. Pre-claimed
4. SOLD
Just comment on this post to claim! #4 is the only one left this time.
]]>Currently there are no known errors! Yay! It’s been a long process but for now, the site appears to be 100%. If you do run into any mysterious issues, please don’t hesitate to post in the discord site errors channel or make a report on site! It’s very important for me that your experience on the site is simple and bug free!
Stats and Levels is officially working! You can earn user and character based EXP. There are currently 10 levels available for players and 10 levels for characters.
Character levels: Per level you will be awarded the following items:
1 x Stat Point and 5 x Beans.
This means in total going from level 1->10 will award 9 stat points and 45 beans. You will need 10 EXP per level. You can earn character EXP from the following sources: Questing entries, Monthly prompts and Event Prompts.
User levels: User levels are slightly different from Character levels. They have the following rewards:
Level 2: 1 x Stat Point
Level 3: 1 x Basic Familiar
Level 4: 1 x Stat Point
Level 5: 1 x Uncommon Mutation Potion
Level 6: 1 x Stat Point
Level 7: 1 x Rare Mutation Potion
Level 8: 1 x Stat Point
Level 9: 1 x Legendary Mutation Potion
Level 10: 1x Stat Point and 1 x Max level Achievement.
You will need 10 EXP per level. You can earn User EXP from the following sources: Monthly Prompts and Event Prompts.
You can apply earned stat points to characters via the Level Area.
Stats and Levels implements an alternative way to increase your characters stats and guarantees an EXP reward for questing. You can earn a total of 5 EXP per month via questing, which is applied directly to the focus character. Users can earn a minimum of 1 EXP per month, with some months awarding more with greater entry numbers and event prompts.
The world of Prism Vale is expanding! Over the next few months it will be my priority to add and update the world of Prism Vale’s information. This includes the following:
It is a monumental task as Prism Vale is rather vast and has a lot of locations and NPCs. And of course the guides wouldn’t be complete without accompanying art, which will be quite intense on its own.
Research is still currently a WIP as there are certain features that need to be ironed out, however, you can start earning Research Scrolls now!
That should basically be everything. I would also like to remind everyone that after May I’ll officially be on my break to work on site information! Though I’ve semi-started early. My break simply means that I will not be making any adoptables for 2 months. However, I will still make patreon designs and I have organized guest artists Ceruleans_blues and Dragonprr to make designs in my design absence!
Thank you everyone!
]]>Happy 4th of July! Just a small update to clarify some things.
And that's about it! I hope you all had an exciting Starfall! Thank you!
]]>No known issues, but if you do find something please let me know either through a report on site or in the site-errors-and-bugs section on the discord.
Stats maximum cap has been increased from 10 to 20.
Stats can be increased up to level 20. You can do so by a mixture of EXP level rewards, gear, gear augments and stat potions.
Character and User levels can be increased with EXP granted from prompts and questing. Make sure to select the character you want to gain EXP as the focus character.
Adjusted the questing reward rolls from 6 to 5 rolls per quest. Allow for maximum rolls per quest to become 10. Unlock additional rolls for stat (Mind or Body, not stacking) increases at levels 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20.
Research is now available. You can find all research here: https://beanling-patch.com/research
Research grants a user or characters special perks, such as character skills that award extra beans for prompts and questing or recipes that give reduced costs.
To purchase research you must use Research Scrolls. You can get Research Scrolls from Questing. They are in the common loot table.
Research contains the following rewards:
Give your characters skills via research. You can craft skill tokens for all your characters once you have unlocked the recipe and have the required Research Scrolls. Skills can be added to characters via the skill prompts.
Thank you everyone!
]]>No known issues, but if you do find something please let me know either through a report on site or in the site-errors-and-bugs section on the discord.
Paypal has now been integrated directly into the site, meaning you can now make purchases through the site instead of through 3rd party shops.
The Cash Shop is now open and stocked. Purchasing through the cash shop will direct you to paypal for payments and items purchased will be automatically credited to your account upon successful purchase.
You can find the link for the cashop under the "Shops" drop down menu in the navigation bar.
Patreon is now integrated into the site, meaning you can now claim your patreon exclusive Gold directly on site from the 1st of every month. Simply link your patreon and you will be able to claim your monthly Gold if you are a Patron of Toffee-Tama.
The extension does not currently reward lifetime rewards, so those will continue to be manually awarded upon reaching milestones.
You can access the patreon page through the link under your Username drop down menu on the right side of the navigation bar or on the side bar located on your "Profile".
Thank you everyone!
]]>No known issues, but if you do find something please let me know either through a report on site or in the site-errors-and-bugs section on the discord.
The Character Frames extension is now live! This allows users to apply frames to characters and the ability to change those frames at will via the characters page.
Almost all character images have been converted, this means that all character images have been re-uploaded as their original png file. Owners can view the full png file, other users will only be able to see the framed version.
All characters now share the same frame style (Originally Flowerling frame) and going forward, new frames will not be species locked.
You can unlock your currently owned frames via your inventory, if you own a frame it will be in your cosmetic item section.
How to unlock a frame:
1. Select the desired frame via your inventory.
2. Check the source.
3. Select "unlock frame"
4. Search your character ID number or name.
5. Click unlock frame and the frame will be applied!
The frames section found at the top of a character page shows any frames unlocked and allows users to change to any frames a character owns.
Please note that once a frame is unlocked it cannot be removed and any applied frames will stay with a character when traded. Please be sure of the character when unlocking frames.
Thank you everyone!
]]>Come one, come all, to the White Beanling Exchange!
This year Beanling Patch will be running a White Elephant style exchange for both new and old players. Participants in the Exchange will design a beanling, the designs will then be exchanged between participants randomly on the 25th of December.
Participants have the following restrictions for their entries:
All entries must be submitted before the deadline. If there is an odd number of entries, one additional design by Toffee-Tama will be added to the pool.
No late entries will be accepted so please keep an eye on the deadline.
Entry Link:
Restriction Request: (Please include things you do not want to receive, eg: I do not like Brush Mutation, no green designs, etc) (Please note that while we will take these into consideration, we may not be able to accommodate all restriction requests.)
Do you give permission for the winner to edit the design if desired? (Yes or No)
Is this a commissioned design? (Include artists name if so)
Do you have permission to use this design for this exchange if it is a commission? (just include a screenshot to show the artist is informed).
I, *Your Username*, am entering the White Beanling Exchange and acknowledge that my design will be randomly assigned to another participating player and that I will also receive a random design in exchange.
Does it have to be a specific theme?
No. You may use any theme or style you feel like as long as it meets the minimum standards.
What if I don’t like the design I receive?
If you do not like the design you receive you may either edit the design if the artist gave permission or you can put your design up for trade.
I can’t draw, can I still enter?
Yes, you are allowed to commission a design by a different artist so long as they are informed of the intended use and made aware that they cannot use the entry to enter themselves.
I was commissioned for a design, but I’d like to enter for myself, can I still do that?
Yes, if you are commissioned for a design, that design is counted as the commissioners entry, meaning that you can still enter for yourself with a different design.
If you have any other questions please feel free to leave a comment or comment in the discord.
Have fun and Happy Holidays!
]]>In preparation for the festive season, Beanling Patch is having a 50% off sale on all MYO, Equipment and Familiars in the cash shop!
Sale will run from Friday 26th November until Saturday 1st January 2022.
Sale excludes frames.
Everybean in Prism Vale is flitting about in a rush, and who could blame them? The excitement in the air is thick as snowflakes in a blizzard as the Wonderland Ball rapidly approaches! There are dresses to be fitted, ornaments to be hung, and presents to be delivered! It seems that you’ve been caught up in the holiday rush, and asked to deliver several presents to a guest at the Ball. Can you fit them all into your box?
To solve this puzzle, simply move the packages into the box in a way that none overlap each other or hang over the edge of the box. We will accept answers that are a photo edit of the puzzle, a sketch of the solution, or a picture of a physical representation of the presents in the solution.
(Part 2) Whose Presents are These?
You finally managed to cram all of those presents into your box, and as you close it, the tatters of the to-from tag fall to the ground. Oops!! Looks like you're going to have to piece them back together again before you can figure out where you're going.
(Part 3) Look out for Snowballs!
Ooohhhhh, so that's who these packages are for! Now that you know you need to get to the Wonderland Ball, you'll have to traverse the yearly snowball fight on the lake. It's easier said than done though, as you don't want the packages to be damaged!
To solve this puzzle, move along the dotted grid without going through the path of any snowballs! The direction of each snowball is indicated with an arrow. We will accept your answer as a visual representation of the correct path, whether drawn on grid paper or on this image!
(Part 4) Deliver to the Middle!
Thank goodness you made it past that snowball fight! Who knew snow could move so fast? After asking around a little bit, it seems that the lucky present recipient is enjoying the festivities in the hedge maze. Looks like it's time to put your memory to the test!
To solve this puzzle, simply make your way to the middle of the maze! We will accept answers that are an edited image of this maze, or the same maze drawn out and solved on paper.
(Part 5) Who Sent Which Present?
As the lucky bean is ripping into the gifts, you both notice that none of them seem to have tags! Oh dear. Fortunately, you remember some things about who's gifts were which. Can you two figure out who sent which gift?
To solve this logic puzzle, you'll need to figure out the wrapping color, ribbon, and tag type each beanling used. We will accept answers that are an edited image of this maze, or the answers written out in the style of the chart on the bottom right.
Answers can be submitted all together in the Puzzle Package Quest prompt at the end of the month. You do not have to answer all of the quests to submit the prompt, but please only submit the prompt once you have solved all of the puzzles you plan to.
If you get one or more puzzles correct, you’ll receive a prize of one Christmas frame. The grand prize for correctly solving all five puzzles is a Legendary Beanling MYO!
This news post will be updated again on the 5th with the second puzzle, so stay tuned!

I understand that what I’ve done is done, but I’d like to give a little context to the current situation. I'm going to be 100% honest with you guys, which may not paint me in the best light, but I think it’s necessary and what you deserve. I hope you can read this and understand where I was coming from, and that I take full responsibility.
Why would you do NFTs?
Frankly, money. That's honestly the only reason I started an NFT. Beanling Patch just hasn’t reached the sale range that I have been striving for, so when I saw the NFT trend and saw some of the absolutely horrible designs selling for hundreds, I thought that I could jump on that trend since my art was definitely up to the standard of some of the popular NFTS, if not better than many NFTs! Was this naive? Hell yes. But I was very motivated by the prospect of quitting my job and never working again. I’m sure a lot of you can relate to this; I really hate everything about working in corporations!
Do you realise that NFTs and Crypto are bad for the environment?
Yes, I knew this from the start to some extent. I went in knowing it wasn’t great, but assumed that most internet things aren’t great for the environment. I’m definitely more informed on the matter now, however.
Can you stop doing NFTs?
This is unfortunately a little complicated. I’m already legally committed to Beanlings NFT. I’ve spent more than $1000+ on the project, and it is permanently on the blockchain with no way to remove it. So I’m not able to take it down. As for future projects related to NFTs? Well, suffice it to say, I am not doing any more.
What's the plan now?
I’m completely separating the ARPG from the NFTs. They will not be involved with each other in any way other than sharing the species name, which I unfortunately cannot change.
I’m sorry to disappoint you all, and I hope that the fact that I am very money motivated doesn’t change your thoughts of me too much. I’m sorry that these NFTs upset the group, and I really regret this decision. I know you guys are actually legit nice and good people who care about things, and I’m sorry that I hurt the group with my actions. In future, I will try to consult with the group in the form of polls and such before any major decisions that could totally change this community we’re making.
I’m going to take a break, I’m sure you can understand why! Thank you so much for reading. I’m so sorry.

It seems like something big is happening in Prism Vale-
A huge shoutout to our member Spottednova for their help with the comic!
]]>At this time of year in the peaceful realm of Prism Vale, beanling's and flowerling's dreams have gathered in the skies and formed into falling stars. This year, however, something is truly amiss. A thick miasma has spread over Prism Vale, coating the skies and grounds and preventing the dream magic from forming in to stars. The source of this corruption-laced fog seems to be odd gems reminiscent of Void Fragments. A strange figure has been spotted planting the objects around the Vale.
See the last news post for the comic.
Hello Citizens of Prism Vale! As I’m sure you’re aware, there has been a strange phenomena happening in the skies of our islands. Strange stones have been placed that have prevented our dreams from forming stars as they usually do this time of year. For all of you who helped investigate the matter, the Queen and I thank you, but we ask that you please remain cautious when investigating such anomalies.
Fortunately, our very own Azul Defenders have managed to clear them away! Thanks to their and your own efforts, the skies have cleared and our dreams have gathered to fall once again! So it’s with great pleasure that I can finally announce the start of starfall! To mark this particularly unusual starfall, some of our very own guild leaders have set up stalls at the Azul Starfall Faire with generous and unusual prizes!
Please feel free to enjoy the festivities in safety, as our Azul Defenders will be guarding the fairgrounds and keeping an especially close eye on the canyon. With that said, if you see any mysterious figures or ill-intended actions, please report it to any defenders on duty so that they may investigate.
Hello, and welcome to the Azul Starfall Faire! Many of our guild and community leaders have put together some fun to mark to the occasion! To participate in the stalls at the fair, you are going to need Starfall Tickets!
While you will be able to buy these with various group and real currencies at Percival's Stall, you can also get several free ones! You can earn them through several means:
All of the Starfall stalls can be found in this group folder.
Millie's Plushies and Lost and Found
Roll Millie's gachas for plushies, familiars, one-off familiar and bean designs, and more!
Play a round or two of a bubble browser game and win potions and their components!
Ocean's brought a special version of the mystery wheel to the fair . . . He may not be the mysterious figure, but he's certainly suspicious.
Aeluin's Basketball Dunk Stall
Have some fun shooting hoops and winning some Event Currency!
Poppy's Face Paint and Apparel Stall
Get some discounted gear and markings for your beanling or flowerling! There are a few one-off designs available here.
Play a classic carnival game and win some fun gear!
Join us on the Discord for more fun!
Beanlings / Flowerlings are a closed species by Toffee-Tama - Please do not make your own without permission!
]]>Check out the form for more detail!
As most of you are also aware, the entire Beanling-Patch ARPG has also undergone a change of hands. Toffee had previously poster her announcement on here and in the discord, but in transferring the site, we lost her post here, so I have included it below.:
Hey Everyone!
It’s Toffee-tama here. I have a very important announcement to make regarding the future of the group.
As some of you might have noticed, I have been rather absent from the group since March/April and firstly I would like to apologise for that absence. Unfortunately, I have been experiencing burnout in regards to art in general and thus I haven’t been able to give the group the care and attention it needs. It's very hard for me to delegate and get things done and I have been feeling rather guilty about neglecting my responsibilities as the group owner. I have therefore come to the conclusion that it would be best for me to step down from the leader role and pass it on to someone who is better prepared.
This is not a decision I have made lightly and I have seriously been thinking it over for a few months now. I was reluctant to bite the bullet since I felt the pressure of sunk cost fallacy since I have worked on this group for almost 3 years now. However, I can also recognise my own shortcomings and I know myself well enough to know that it was time to walk away not just for my mental health, but the health of the group. I want Beanlings to thrive, but I feel like we can’t do that with me as the leader.
Going forward, CeruleansBlues (Ceru) will be the new group owner. She is the owner in all regards including the intellectual property of Beanlings, the site and future prospects. She will be taking over all aspects of running the site including the admin account. Please be kind and respectful as she transitions into her new role!
I’d also like to advise that the website will be down for an indeterminate amount of time as it is transferred between owners. Nothing will be changing about the website in terms of functionality, it will simply be undergoing an ownership transfer. Monthly prompts, crafting, questing and all other activities will continue as usual. Please feel free to continue playing the Starfall Event and working on your prompts!
In regards to my patreon, I will be closing my patreon at the end of the month since I have been neglecting it.
Please consider transferring your memberships to https://www.patreon.com/cerus_blues to continue receiving beanling-patch patreon benefits and supporting the site costs!
I will not be leaving the group or anything as I still have my personal account to engage as a regular player. There is also the tentative possibility of me participating as a guest artist in the future.
I want to thank each and every one of you guys for supporting me during this time and I want you to know that it truly means a lot to me!
Thank you everyone!
Best regards, Toffee-tama

We hope you guys are excited for all of the group happenings! Thank you all for being so kind and patient in this transitional period!
Many of the strange stones that were gathered have cracked open and seem to have released the dew magic they had been sucking up! The lake on Versi is flooding, Soleil is covered in dew, and islands all over the vale are overflowing! It seems that this excess dew is making everything grow at an uncontrollable rate! Local plantlife has been affected, with some of it growing sentient and malicious! It also seems to be affecting some beans, causing them to grow flowers, leaves, and vines all over their bodies, dragging them down.
However, it also seems to be having other affects on beanlings! The flood of dew is causing beans to be born with some unusual dew.
Any bean made this month is allowed to use these traits for free, and you can add three to your existing beanlings! Beanlings who are created this month will also receive a special status that will give them access to interesting abilities and potentially traits later. Traits must be applied by September 30, 2022.
Unrelated to the story, with the help of our game mod Revpup, we have gone through the masterlist and found the most used legendary traits and have made them rare traits! We are currently working through to replace these legendary traits with the rare version, and are leaving a free placeholder legendary trait in it's place that you may use to apply a new legendary trait to your beanling. Here is the list of new rare traits:
Wing traits:
No Wings
Elemental Wings
Body Traits:
Metallic
Luminescence
Iridescence
Glitter
Gem Growths
Elongated Body
Floral growths
Tail Traits:
Animal Tail
Decorated Wish
In yet more unrelated news, I (Ceru) am going to be away from my pc more than usual due to irl circumstances, and will be slower to respond! Please feel free to at me in the discord or leave a claim here on site if you need my hlep with anything! I am always more than happy to chat and answer questions.
In other news, it seems some . . . Wait, those aren't beans, are they? Hmm . . . Well, whatever they are, they're looking for new homes!
Their auction is being run on Deviantart.
The new sister-species of the Beanlings, these fey creatures are finally out in the open and up to something. If you'd like to take your guesses as to what they could be after, or you'd like to catch up on what's been happening in Prism Vale that's led up to this, you can ready through the story so far here!
To celebrate their official arrival, we've put together and advent of adopts and events!

Monthly Prompt: Harrowing Halloween
It seems like one bad thing has followed another in Prism Vale over the past few months, and it doesn't seem to be letting up during this season of spooks and frights. Now that the identity of the mysterious figure has been revealed, Queen Valerie has given Sir Serillion orders to assemble the defenders at the Giant Canyon and confront this 'King of the Blightlings' once and for all. Is your Beanling joining the forces at the canyon or supporting them from the sidelines? Are they staying back on the other islands taking care of little ones and trying to preserve the more fun spirit of the season? Is your Blightling being born into the middle of this mess?
This Month's prompt will reward Mysterious Stones as well as the usual rewards. To enter, submit the prompt on the Beanling Patch website!
(to find, go to Activities-> Prompts)
No one seems to know what these mysterious stones are made of yet- thus the name 'mysterious'. What Landry and his fellow scientists have been able to determine is that the stones love to absorb dew. It seems that if a Beanling holds one for too long they start to change . . .
Converting Beanlings
Beanlings will soon be able to convert in to Blightlings via exposure to Mysterious Stones. This change is permanent, so be careful if you choose to convert your Beanling. You are welcome to say that your converted Beanling was always a Blightling for their lore if you desire, but their masterlist number unfortunately must remain as it is.
Creating Blightlings
Blightlings can now be created by attaching a mysterious stone to your Beanling and Flowerling MYOs! The level of mutation and stage of growth will still apply. So, if you are using an Uncommon Beanling MYO with a Mysterious Stone, you may create an Uncommon Blightling. Universal Traits and Mutations
Beanlings and Blightlings have a few traits and mutations that you may use in both species. All others are currently exclusive. Here is the list of common traits and mutations:
Wing traits:
No wings
Elemental wings
Bat
Hybrid
Body Mutations:
Brush
Fluff
Cuff
Metallic
Luminescence
Iridescence
Glitter
Gem growths
Elongated bod
Floral growths
Halo (only grown forms)
Whiskers (only grown forms)
Skirt (only grown forms)
Veil (only grown forms)
Tail Mutations:
Animal tail
Decorated tail
Colored tail
Two-tone writing
Folded
Multi-tail
Multi-length
Bud (only grown forms)
Pollen and Multi-Pollen (only grown forms) All Flowerling Flower types (only grown forms)
Hi yall! I'd like to start this out by saying that these last six months have been a real rollercoaster. I went from planning Starfall to planning a sister species to suddenly having the group handed over to me. I think it's safe to say that none of us saw the transfer of the group coming- not even me!
That said, I want to thank you guys for hanging with the group as we transitioned everything over! There was a lot going on behind the scenes with the website and discord, and I'm sure you guys felt the delays and changes as we got everything sorted out! You all have been very patient and supportive, and I cannot overstate how thankful I am for that!
I'd also like to give a huge thank you to our expanded 'staff' that have been working their butts off behind the scenes! My SO, Tenne, has been the one to get the website transferred and has been chipping away behind the scenes at getting features that haven't worked since installation in proper order.
My main mod, Spottednova (Sugar) has been absolutely invaluable in their own right! You can thank them for everything coming out in a timely manner, for a lot of the corrections in information across the site, for the coloring of assets and comics, and for keeping me sane. I'd also like to thank all of our guest artists and discord game mods for stepping up and helping to make the group a more colorful and active place!
Finally, I'd like to thank you all for continuing to make our little community an open and welcoming safe space. Over the past four years, I've gotten to know some of you all very well, and others in passing, and I haven't regretted a moment of it. As we launch this subspecies, and as I look at the year of plans we have coming, I can't help but hope that you all enjoy it to the fullest. It's maybe a bit sappy to say, but Beans have brought us all together, and I hope we can continue to have fun with them as a community! To anyone who made it this far and is new to the group, I hope you'll join us and enjoy what we've all made! Thank you all so very much-
Ceru Blues
]]>We know things are a bit slow going around here, but we're getting moving along again this June! Got a few announcements regarding things around here today!
First off, [Delayed] Sprouting is coming up! With that in mind, I'm opening up Guest Artist applications for Sprouting!
If you're interested in signing up, you can get more info and sign up HERE! Guest artist sign-ups will be open until June 15th!
The event will be a little different this year in how it's handled. Sprouting sign-ups will be opening June 16th, and be open until June 30th. Guest artists will be helping this time around, and batches will begin being posted July 1st and will continue to be posted throughout the month on assigned dates that will be determined once we know how much we're working with! Full info will be available when pairing sign-ups happen.
Secondly, if you've looked around the site recently, you might have noticed some changes in the way traits are labeled! This has been done to help tidy up the way that traits have been classified now that we have the Blightlings and Witherlings around as well!
Many classifications of Traits have been changed:
A few traits were added or changed:
In the coming weeks we'll be working on updating the trait info on site, including example images and updated descriptions as well.
Finally, I'll be posting updates periodically of on-site changes (such as those listed above). So that we're not pinging everyone every time for various announcements, there are now three new roles that you can request on the mod-ticket channel of the Discord server! These are:
Feel free to request as many- or all!- of these roles. Of course, if there are any vital announcements for the group or the server, we'll still ping everyone. But for the general happenings, we hope this will mean less @everyone's in the future. If you haven't joined the server yet, you can join us HERE!
That's all for now! As always, let us know if you have any questions or comments!
]]>Ceru
]]>https://beanling-patch.com/info/tallyguide
I am sure you have all noticed a lull in story happening and monthly prompts- that has come to pass due several reasons, one of which being that we are working on restructuring the type of rewards you can receive from these types of prompts to be unique and exclusive. The other reason has, frankly, been staff burnout and other irl issues, so please bear with us while we get those sorted out. If all goes to plan, you should see the return of monthly prompts in the new year. Thank you all, we look forward to seeing your doodles, your masterpieces, and everything in between!
