New Island!
archergandolf provided instructions on how to get to the new island:

Head to the Obsidian Plains and find the Singularity Bore 64.1S, 63.8W (Restricted to Levels 50+, may be tied to). You'll find the new Rampager Tuskers & Terebrous Hollow Minions inside. 

Jump into the pit south of entrance. Beware of Lightning Traps. 

Take the west hallway and take continuous rights until you come to a room at a dead end.

You'll find 4 Augmented Drudges, 1 Minion and the Guardian of the Singularity.

Kill the Guardian of the Singularity for the Sickle (below) and to enter the new island.

The Virindi's cloak seems to boil, as if a thousand insects were seeking to escape before it collapses. The dying Virindi shares its final thoughts with you: "Your life is forfeit, human. You simply do not know it yet. In killing me, [player name], you have gained access to your doom."
As the Virindi falls to the ground, there is a bright flash of light!

You'll have 2 options for the Singularity Caul Portals (Restricted to Levels 55+) to get to the new island: 1) inside Bore Dungeon (run north) and 2) near BSD on the Obsidian Plain - 59.4S 57.8W.

New Weapons!
Another exciting report from my friends in Damonarchy:

Doogens Mage says, "Two of our members were at Black Hill on TOP of the plateau with the 2 portals and the tower. A server message appeared... and then a spawn. Ordinarily that is a safe area."

Doogens Mage says, "They cleared it, and after the mess of Dark Marionettes, Tuskers and Virindi Masters, they found Quiddity Ingots. The ingots say right on them where to turn them in. We are trying to find out how to get the baddies to spawn."

Zonata says, "and they are givable Maggie, both the ingots and the weapons."

Crafter of Orbs tells you, "You are made of flesh, and are therefore the one whom I seek. Grant me the ore delivered by the Quiddity, and I will make what you desire."

Crafter of Orbs tells you, "Odd... you are not as the master described. Your epidermis is fair and supple."

New Shreth Poop!

Dev reports the following:

First off, seeds can be found off of any type of Shreth. I recieved one off a Hunter Shreth, and another seed off of a Blood Shreth. They look like green cocoa beans. (I've included screenshots of them in inventory and on the ground.)

Once you've gotten the seeds, you take them to the Swamp Gardens located outside Yanshi at 22.5S, 45.8E. Inside are a bunch of reedsharks ranging from Adults to Elders. At the bottom is an NPC character who you give the seeds to. He will in turn give you a plant back. (Although I've heard that he doesn't ALWAYS give back a plant). The color of the plant given will vary. I received a red plant (the one that's been extinct for a long time), and a blue plant (that just recently went extinct). 

From what I've heard, he only gives those plants that can no longer be found on Dereth, i.e. you can't get your purple plants this way.

I hope this helps.

Dev

Note: It's been confirmed that Terese will also give the new blue and purple plants for the seeds. Sometimes you may not receive any seeds at all, only a rude comment. Sometimes she will try to cast a spell on you. You may also get several seeds at once instead of just one.

	Little Green Seeds
A few small seeds, found on a Shreth. They do not seem to have any apparent use.

Burden	5

Terese tells you, "What do you want? Wasting my time, no doubt, wasting my time! Don't you have some grandiose quest to do, or innocent monkeys to kill? Leave me alone with my plants. Growing them isn't easy, you know."

Terese tells you, "Yes the Shreth have been eating the plants. That's part of Dereth's new ecology. Go look it up. But, if you happen to go rooting through Shreth droppings, as I imagine you like to do, I'll take any seeds that you might find."

Terese tells you, "These aren't seeds! You brought me some pebbles, you fool! You wouldn't know a seed if it were growing in your ear!"

Black dye plants are received from seeds dropped by the Rampager Tuskers. Drop rate is very low, comparable to Grievver Acid.

	Little Green Seeds
A few small seeds, found on a Tusker. They do not seem to have any apparent use.
