What are restricted traits?
Restricted traits are special mutational traits available for all three species that are released as part of restricted trait sets (RTSs) They are typically released for events and flash events, and most are either limited time or annual. All restricted trait sets can be viewed here!
How do I get restricted traits on my character?
To get restricted traits on your character, you will need the restricted trait item (RTI). Every trait set has two types of RTIs:
1) Potions - potions grant access to any one trait from their trait set.
2) Charms - charms look different for each set, and grant access to any and all traits from their trait set.
How do I obtain restricted trait items?
Restricted trait items can be obtained through the following methods:
1) Elmyra's trading post (potions) - Elmyra's trading post is the only place where RTIs can be obtained year round. Her potion stock is permanent and restocks on the first of each month, and flash event items are also purchasable in her shop while the event is live. Please note that her shop does not accept wisps, only kelp coins and real life currencies (see guide on kelp coins).
2) Events (potions & charms) - obviously excluding event / flash event shops (which will always sell the restricted trait items and whatever other event items are available), RTIs can also be obtained by simply participating in the event. Events will always have art prompts to earn event items, and an official raffle.
