Mystery Item

Players who already have a subscription at the start of a month receive that month's Mystery Items within the first three days of the month (at different times for different subscribers). Anyone who starts a subscription during a month receives that month's Items as soon as the subscription is created.
On the website, a notification appears on the toolbar when new Mystery Items have been given to a subscriber. Click on the notification to go to your Inventory page (direct link). In the "Special" section on the Inventory page, you will `see a gift box, with a number that indicates how many items it contains. Click on it until the number reaches zero. You will then find the items on your Equipment page (direct link). If you don't see them, reload the site and click on the gift box again.
Items you have been given remain in the gift box indefinitely until you claim them. Therefore you will always get the items released during your subscription month(s), even if you wait to claim them until months later. 
Once the month has passed, the Mystery Items will be available only to subscribers who have a Mystic Hourglass, which is earned by having a subscription for three consecutive months. In addition, Mystic Hourglasses allow Habiticans to purchase Mystery Items from the far future.
Mystery Items do not improve stats. They are purely aesthetic.

==Mystery Item Boxes==
For the entirety of the month, the month's box will appear in the Special section of the Inventory for all players who are subscribed. Once the month's mystery item has been revealed, players can click on this box to add its contents to their Equipment section.
The box designs repeat from year to year; for example, the April box pictured below has been used every April since 2014.
Month	January	February	March 	April 	May 	June
Box 	 	 	 	 	 	
Month	July 	August 	September	October	November	December
Box 	 	 	 	 	 	
When a Mystery Item is ready to be released, the images and code required for it are deployed to the production site, and then an admin will update and run the /migrations/users/mystery-items.js script. Updating that script involves adding the "keys" for the new items to the MYSTERY_ITEMS array. Each key uniquely defines one item; for example, weapon_mystery_201505 refers to the Mystery Item weapon that was released in May 2015. The script searches through the user collection in Habitica's database and for every user it finds who has an active subscription, it adds the new items to their account.
The script can take many minutes to run, so it is possible for some users to get their items before others. If you have a friend or party member saying that they've received their items but you haven't, this is probably the reason why. If a few hours have passed, the user should reload the Habitica website and if they still don't have the new items (a very rare occurrence!), then they should report it by clicking on Help > Report a Bug (on the website) or About/Support > Report a Bug (on the apps).
If a developer wants to add Mystery Items to an account on their local install for testing, they can either use that script or run a database update command directly. For example, the command below will add the Mystery Items for November and December 2018 to the gift box in the market for the user with the User ID is 12345678-b5b9-4bb4-8b82-123456789abc:
> db.users.update({_id: '12345678-b5b9-4bb4-8b82-123456789abc'}, {$set: {
 'purchased.plan.mysteryItems': [
 'head_mystery_201811', 'weapon_mystery_201811',
 'headAccessory_mystery_201812', 'back_mystery_201812'
 ],
}})
