Fireplace

The **Fireplace** is an unlockable location in Poppy Seed Pets. It serves multiple purposes that include enabling the process of unlocking of the Dragon Den, allowing inventory management, providing secondary storage for showcased items, generating random items in exchange for fuel, and celebrating certain Special Events.

## How to Unlock

The **Fireplace** can be unlocked by giving Quintessence to a House Fairy, which she will use to build the **Fireplace**.

## Fireplace Actions

Like the House and Basement, it is possible to perform several actions in the **Fireplace** (if they are unlocked):

* Cooking or applying tool combine bonuses or spices
* Feeding active pets
* Moving items between the House, Basement, or **Fireplace**
* Recycling items
* Listing multiple items for sale in the Market

Actions that are unique to the **Fireplace** include:

* Feeding the flames or grabbing items found in the fire (See Feeding the Fireplace)
* Feeding a magma whelp if it currently resides in the **Fireplace** (See Fireplace Whelp)
* Interacting with stockings during Stocking Stuffing Season
* Assigning pet helpers to keep the chimney tidy

## Mantle

When items are moved to the **Fireplace**, they will be stored on the Mantle, where they will be visible to other players that visit a Resident's profile.

The Mantle begins with 12 spaces. This number can be increased to 24 after the player has made 400 Museum donations.

## Feeding the Fireplace

The **Fireplace** can be used to burn flammable items. Only items in the House can be selected as fuel.

### Display

The amount of Fuel currently in the **Fireplace** is displayed as follows:

 slightly-intimidating fire
 very strong fire
 strong fire
 sizable fire
 medium fire
 small fire
 very small fire
 faintly-glowing fire
 only technically warm fire

### Fuel

Certain items can be burned in the **Fireplace** as fuel. The higher the grade of fuel, the longer it will keep the **Fireplace** lit.

Please check the Fuel Grades page for a full list of fuels and their associated grades.

### Rewards

While the **Fireplace** is active, there is a chance that items may appear in it after a somewhat random amount of time. (Once an item appears, the player can collect it at any time in the future, even if the fire goes out. Multiple items will continue to build up until the player collects them.)

Some items require the **Fireplace** to be active for at least a certain period of time before they become available as a random reward.

## Boozy Fires

When Fuel containing alcohol (such as various Wines) is thrown into the fire, different rewards may be available.

### Drops

The following items can be obtained from boozy fires:

* Gnome's Favor

### Message

With the fuel message, the fire's alcohol level will also be displayed base on how much of the current fuel is made of alcohol containing Fuel, as follows:

 highly boozy
 very boozy
 a bit boozy
 booze-tinged
 ever-so-slightly boozy

## Tidying the Chimney

It is possible to assign a pet helper to the **Fireplace** once the player has unlocked the feature at the Beehive. (To unlock the feature, it is necessary to help the bees to branch out their production after the total bee population has reached 2000.) Pets that have high Stamina and are skilled in Climbing will perform better at keeping the chimney tidy.

Due to limited **Fireplace** space, it is not possible to assign a pet helper if a whelp currently resides there.

Pet helpers may find random items after a certain amount of fuel hours have been added to the **Fireplace**. Every 18 fuel hours grants an additional item; the amount is cumulative, so it is not necessary to add all of the fuel at once.

Different items become available depending on how well a pet performs during a particular chimney cleaning session. Possible items include:

* Aging Powder
* Charcoal
* Cobweb
* Feathers
* Fluff
* Fried Tomato
* Glass
* Gochujang Recipe
* Magic Smoke
* Silica Grounds
* Spider
* Spider Roe

Certain items found in the chimney will have an additional custom comment:

* Fried Tomato: (Who's frying stuff in here?!)
* Pan-fried Tofu: (Who's frying stuff in here?!)

## Fireplace Whelp

When melting the seal on the Letter from the Library of Fire for the first time, a dragon whelp will appear on the **Fireplace** page. It will have a random name. Its wings and body have separate colors; one of the colors will always be red, while the other color may be anything.

### Feeding

Players can "Feed" the magma whelp any fishy, meaty, or spicy foods in the House. The whelp will not accept foods that don't naturally have these flavors, even if they were added by spices.

After every 35 food hours fed, the whelp will spit up an item. The amount does not need to be fed all at once.

A whelp can spit up one random item at a time from this list:

* Charcoal
* Dark Matter
* Liquid-hot Magma
* Quintessence

When fed, if it isn't time for the whelp to spit up an item yet, it may "blithely", "happily", or "excitedly" devour the offering. This seems to have no real effect on the item that gets spit up and seems to simply be flavor text.

The whelp will grow into an adult dragon once it has been fed a total of 700 food hours, after which it will leave the **Fireplace** and unlock a new location, the Dragon Den.

The following notification will be displayed upon unlocking the Dragon Den:

(Dragon Name) is a whelp no longer! They leave your fireplace and establish a den nearby!

### Names

The whelp's name is randomly selected from the following list:

* A: Ajagar, Ajdaho, Ajidaar, Aydahar, Azdaho
* B: Balaur
* C: Chinjoka
* D: Dhiragoni, Draak, Dragua, Drak'oni, Dregana, Dreki
* E: Ejderha
* G: Ghuri Bisesa
* H: Herensuge
* I: Inamba
* J: Joka
* L: Lohikaarmem, Luu
* M: Makara, Mangkon, Mangkr, Masduulaagii
* N: Naga, Neak
* P: Pūķis
* Q: Qiu
* R: Ryu
* S: Sarkany, Smok
* T: Tanin, Tarako, Tarakona, Tirakan
* V: Vishap
* Y: Yong
* Z: Zaj, Zenido, Ziha, Zmej

## Stocking Stuffing Season

During Stocking Stuffing Season from December 1st to 31st, players will find stockings that can be checked for one gift per day. More details about stockings and available gifts can be found on the Special Event: Stocking Stuffing Season page.
