Changes Coming to the Feast in February
Posted by Owner-Aspen on 15 Jan 2019, 8:46 pm
We have some changes coming soon to the Feast!
The basic structure and function of the Feast, as well as the cooking career, will remain generally the same. However, we are making important changes to prizes and placement.
These plans are scheduled to go into effect for February's Feast. Please read them carefully.
One Villager Per Account May Register for the Feast
You will no longer need to feed multiple villagers to obtain a mini-pet set. Each pet prize tier will award two pets.
Tiers Instead of Places
Starting with February's Feast, prizes will be awarded in tiers. This means that any number of players will be able to reach each prize tier, and you will be able to plan ahead for a Feast knowing just how many food points you will need to earn the prize you desire.
Feast Participation Ribbon
The tiers are as follows:
A player will earn the prizes from the tier they achieve, as well as each tier surpassed on the ladder, with the exception of trophies.
Your villager will receive the trophy for their profile which corresponds to the highest tier they achieve, if applicable.
10 Points - Common Animal x2, Used Food Wrapper
25 Points - Uncommon Animal x2, Feast Button (button will change each month)
100 Points - Rare Animal x2, Feast Participant Ribbon Keepsake
500 Points - Super Rare Animal x2, Bronze Trophy
1500 Points - Magical Sweetiecorn, Silver Trophy
5000 Points - Worker Slot Coupon, Gold Trophy
The new item, Used Food Wrapper Is quite mysterious! I do believe that those who hold onto many wrappers will eventually be rewarded! Er... eventually!
About Worker Totems
Worker Slot Totem will be pulled from the top prize tier. It will be replaced with Worker Slot Coupon, which will function the same way as the totem, but is untradable.
Worker Slot Coupon
Worker Slot Totem will be moved to the FurDollar Emporium.
Ingredient Availability
In an effort to make sure that cooking ingredients do not price spike out of control due to the above changes, we will be running new multi-skill-level rotating battlegrounds as well as an explore event that will drop common cooking ingredients. Look for these events to start within the next few days.
We also have several new recipes on the way!
Downtime as We Make Changes
The site will go down at 11:55 PM on January 31st to implement the above changes.
This means that the Feast will conclude at 11:55 PM, not Midnight.
Do not plan to feed past 11:55 PM on January 31st for the current Feast.
You will be able to start feeding your registered villager for the month once the site comes back online.
Who's Hungry?

Jashin325 Cupcake trophies are staying the same. The ribbon is a fun new extra that will function as a keepsake for earning 100 points and up.
Growlithe Animal Husbandry revamps are on the schedule soon (no worries nothing too scary, just additional content). It is likely they will become available through those changes.
ManicWolf I apologize! Finding the right time to announce the changes was very delicate. We had to make sure everything was in order with our awesome coder, as well as announce them at a time where people wouldn't prepare for next month's feast and be disappointed. Remember that this month is the last month to earn a free Worker Slot Totem instead of a coupon, so should you continue to compete, it will still hopefully be worth it to you.
Wow. As for me, this changes are awesome.
Dang, this announcement came on the month when I was competing to get in the top 10 for the first time too. I should have waited!
Good news to hear though.
these changes are pretty cool!
and "new multi-skill-level rotating battlegrounds as well as an explore event that will drop common cooking ingredients." sounds really intriguing!! :0
Christovski They are not going to be cheap, and would be comparable to what they currently are on the user market now. We've decided to do it this way to somewhat put a cap value on food and totems in general. Since slots will be un-tradeable, it's also a way to cap existing totems still on the market.
Buying them from the FD emporium should be no different than buying food from other players with FD, it was still always an element of "pay to have more slots". Not too much of a way around that.
This way, however, you can absolutely earn a "free" worker coupon through normal gameplay, and anyone can do it with out fear of falling asleep and being sniped or feeling helpless when the counts go too high. Think of it as crating the totem, the recipe is just really big.
Dang 500 food points? That usually only ever happened in the really competitive months
Trophy question: Will we still be able to get the cupcake trophy or will it just be a gold/silver/bronze ribbon?
so I know there's barely a use for the mini pet treats anymore, but what will happen to those? :o
Thank goodness the worker slots will be in the FD shop I never win a feast to earn one and I got a lot of villagers.
I like a lot of these changes, especially the tiers! I however have to temper my excitement by saying I'm very worried by "Worker Slot Totem will be moved to the FurDollar Emporium." potentially making furvilla "pay to win" because the more IRL money you spend on furdollars, the more totems you could buy.
