Updates & Info and things!

Hi all!
First off, I'd like to let people know that you can currently upgrade your warrior items here.
Next, I'd like to detail some plans for upcoming events given the current circumstances we find ourselves under.
I'd very much like to avoid heavy coding edits until the DMM festival has been sorted. To that end, I'm not going to push for many changes - if any at all, to the code for the OFB festival coming mid-May.
Instead, I'm thinking that we reset valour points, adjust the caps (to favour PvE), and allow new purchases to be made for the two-weeks that the festival runs.
This would mean that held valour would be lost as well. If we do this, we'll give at least a week's warning.
You'll still get a few extra valour points for participating in PvP, but the PvE cap alone should suffice to buy all festival related goods at least once.
This isn't ideal, but it would require minimal coding and would ultimately be less disruptive to the upcoming fixes. The event will still include exploration events, magical plushies, and a slew of new items.
Additionally, I'm looking to release tier 6 & 7 warrior content around the release of the OFB festival. (Where Wandering Monsters is a tier 1 battleground, and Deadly Monsters is a tier 5 battleground - with deadlier monsters being somewhere between tier 5 - 6).
These would be permanent additions to the battleground roster that are designed for well-equipped warriors of at least the 20th level. This would come with a new tier of crystals, previously mentioned in the update notes, as "Superior" crystals.
At the same time, I'd also like to introduce "Broken" equipment, which serves as scrap-able items that drop frequently in various battlegrounds.
Generally speaking, if we do implement new tiers, expect the following to happen:
- Old recipes will remain the same, but materials for those recipes will be significantly more common.
- New recipes will require significantly more materials.
- This means that catching up to the current maximum power-level for warriors (essentially tier 5), will be significantly easier, whereas achieving tiers 6 & 7 will be much harder.
I'm in the planning stages right now, so feel free to ping me in discussion threads - if we can sort out details beforehand it'll save a lot of grief going forward.
Please Note: You may freely ping me.
Next up, I'd like to discuss a placeholder of sorts for the long-awaited achievements. Previously, we'd looked at overhauling quest & achievement systems to be more relevant, though per above, due to delays & expectations with coding, I'm thinking of introducing a new type of item which essentially acts as a trophy of sorts - akin to the Enchanted To Be Awesome Signet Ring - only extending to other careers.
If this ends up happening, you'll want to have a lot of FurCash and related materials from all villages.
And finally, in lieu of a dedicated PvP tournament (given we can't recode the matchmaking this year), I'm considering having a knock-out style tournament hosted by the community for players that would like to opt-in. No specifics yet, but I'm thinking something along the lines of best-of-three matches with gear swapping allowed between rounds. Winners will receive a "160%" Potency upgrade ticket, which can be exchanged with NPC-Traveler something, with spot prizes for participation.
Apologies for the incoherent post!
Nothing mentioned here is set in stone, and is just my initial impressions for the OFB festival!
Long Awaited April Monthlies!
Posted by AdminAssistant on 17 Apr 2018, 10:02 am
Hello everyone!
Our apologies for the late monthly news post, our dear Admin-Mat is in the hospital for longer than we thought so we'll be taking over for a little while. But worry not, he's doing fine so lets all hope he'll be back with us soon!
April is halfway done but the show must go on!
New Minipets
The April FD Pets will be getting their long awaited introduction!
First we have this cuddly Rose Aardwolf! No need for baths with all these sweet smelling roses!
For the people who have always wanted their own little living terrarium, give it up for the stunning Garden Snail!
Last but not least, the adorable Suchilla! These lovely animals will take good care of your plants!
FD Pets can be obtained from the FurDollar Emporium. They have five day breeding cool downs and are available for breeding until May 1st, when a new batch of FD Monthlies will be released.
Monthly Contests
We have not forgotten about the winners of our February and March contests! MOD-Cari and I are busy putting a big news post together with all the winners, so keep an eye out for the big announcement!
Monthly contests have been put on an indefinitive hiatus until further notice.
Lastly, you may have seen them around for a while now, but here is an official warm welcome to our newest mod MOD-Tempest! We're happy to have them on our team!
I wish everyone a good day and an enjoyable time on Furvilla!

Rule Update Regarding Multi-Accounts
Posted by Admin-Wisteria on 17 Apr 2018, 7:27 am
Hi all, hope everyone's well!
Just want to quickly let you know we're updating the procedure regarding multi-account violations.
From now on, if you would receive an infraction for multiple accounts, you'll also have your inventory & currency wiped.
This won't be updated in an official capacity until Admin-Mat is back, but cases from henceforth will result in an inventory/currency purge.
Awoo!
Posted by Admin-Wisteria on 13 Apr 2018, 11:33 pm
Awooooooo!
The wolf pack battlegrounds are currently enabled. They will be available until the 20th of April. Currently, no changes have been made but expect some minor loot drop adjustments in the coming days.
Have fun!
More News!
Posted by Admin-Wisteria on 10 Apr 2018, 7:08 pm
Hi all!
The Egg & Mystic Garden events have now concluded. I hope you've all had fun!
If you're looking to get your paws on this, simply log on within the next 24 hours.
We are starting work on a new mini-event for you all, and we're likely to keep the resource collection system we trialed with the Dark Gemstones moving forward to help mitigate against bad RNG. In the mean time, if you'd like to see any of the older NPCs re-released comment below - we'll release the most popular battlegrounds into the wild for a few days!
As a side note, food drops from warrior content will be reduced significantly from now on due to player feedback; you'll instead find related reagents more frequently than completed dishes.
Drax Update
Posted by Admin-Wisteria on 9 Apr 2018, 12:14 am
Drax can now be crafted again for 2000 Dark Gemstones, and will randomly have genders.
Please note due to some technical limitations, you may occasionally see an error when claiming your pet: "Trying to get property of non-object" - if this happens, simply try to claim it again.
For those curious, this is to do with breeding & crafting restrictions within the code; the system doesn't deal well with pets that aren't in sets of 4. In this case, you'll need to generate a "common" result to successfully receive an item.
Delays!
Posted by Admin-Wisteria on 7 Apr 2018, 8:53 pm
There's likely to be a few delays as Admin-Mat is currently in hospital.
They're due to be released in a couple days; until then contests & paintie related queries may take longer than usual to resolve.
Thanks for your patience & understanding!
Drax Problems!
Posted by Admin-Wisteria on 6 Apr 2018, 9:06 pm
Hi all.
As I'm sure many of you have noticed, we're having some issues with the new Drax.
We have a resolution, but it'll likely cause some issues with the crafting process.
So, to that end, you'll have 24 hours (from this news post) to craft the Drax as-is. If you want a limited time genderless Drax, now is your last chance!
Following that, the recipe will have its price increased drastically to prevent it being crafted all together. There will be another 24 hour grace period to collect your Drax during this time.
We will then make the changes to the recipe, and it will return shortly thereafter creating gendered Drax correctly.
Apologies for the issues regarding the Drax!
Edit: The price will return to 2000 gems following the updates.
