February Monthly MiniPets
Posted by Admin-Mat on 1 Feb 2017, 2:30 am
February has come, and with it, the introduction of a new round of mini-pets for the FurDollar Emporium. These new monthly mini-pets follow a new system with the goal of retaining their value!
We have heard the concerns of customers who purchased FD mini-pets in the past and their disappointment that breeding has resulted in their purchase losing its value increasingly over time. We want our customers to feel confident that their purchase will retain its value, even potentially increasing in value. Therefore, we have decided that starting with the February mini-pets, FurDollar Emporium mini-pets will be unbreedable species, ensuring that the investment a customer makes will not decline in value due to breeding. Any past mini-pets released through the Emporium will remain as they were, as this change affects only new and future Emporium mini-pets.
Players can now obtain rarer colors for an Emporium mini-pet species by opening a box, found for each new mini-pet species in the Emporium. The boxes for each respective mini-pet have a 40% chance of opening into a common, 30% chance of opening into an uncommon, 20% chance of opening into a rare, or a 10% chance of opening into a super rare. Boxes are also priced at 250 FurDollars, a reduction from past prices.
The Aquaticat species is the first of the new Emporium mini-pets, shown from common through super rare. 
The Rapti species is the second of the new Emporium mini-pets, shown from common through super rare.
The Moth species is the third of the new Emporium mini-pets, shown from common through super rare.
The Chipmunk species is the fourth of the new Emporium mini-pets, shown from common through super rare.
The Caterpillar species is the fifth and final of the new Emporium mini-pets, shown from common through super rare.
These new boxes will not entirely disappear at the end of the month. We plan on putting all Emporium mini-pet boxes inside of a larger box called the Retired Box, which will dispense one random box from a past month. The Retired Box will be available at a higher price, but gives players the chance to obtain mini-pet boxes from past months if desired.
Save up your weapons, armor, and unwanted mini-pets, because the Serpent Festival is coming to town on February 14th. The Serpent Festival is Quetzal Palace's yearly special event. During this event, the serpent that carries the Quetzal Palace village on its back will land on the mainland of Furvilla. During this period of time, villagers from all over are welcome to make offerings to the serpent in hopes of being rewarded with something cool.
The upcoming festival will involve some new mini-pet species from the serpent, a special shop to purchase festival related items, new villager colors, new villager costumes, and last but not least... a mystery! Will you be one of the first one hundred people to solve the mystery and earn a trophy from the festival?
But that's not all! We have two weeks before the festival starts, and some other cool activities are coming down the pipeline. Sources say that Crafters will be getting a new type of item to craft, one that should keep all of you crafters busy! What could it be? Hm... we'll find out soon! ;)
Also the fact that they don't even have anything to do with the AH carreer at all is really stupid...
well there goes my dream of completing my menagerie</3...
Bought two of the moth boxes and got

I got the super rare one omg
(I actually wanted the rosy maple moth but these are awesome too! :D )
Since they cant even breed that really doesn't mean anything... They should be like 100 or 150fd each since you have to buy 8 at the very least of eachto fill all slots for the collection. And with the breedable ones they won't really lose any value for months upon months since most breeders would want to fill out a good breeding stock, and I'm sure all of the people who have bought them could easily make back the money the've spent on the original breeding pairs.
Aww, I wouldn't be here for the festival. However, the new minipets are adorable! I'm not too sure about the change though. Kind of sad that they can't breed, and you have invest a bit more to get all the colors. I might wait before getting anything.
$2.50 isn't far from how much blind bags cost in meatspace.
Are they cheaper though in the long run? Instead of buying two you need for breeding you 're now having to buy every attempt if you want all of them you need to purchase multiples of all of them. Instead of the flat prices they're now pay per attempt where as before they were not. YOu paid in breeding slots on your account. So I mean, I would argue that they are not in fact cheaper. If you only want two of each no matter the colors you get sure... they are. But that's what you're stuck with. It now is going to cost a lot more even if you're really lucky and pull all four colors in four pulls. To complete the menagerie, you need two of each color. That means eight. If you're really lucky and pull them in eight pulls that STILL more expensive than being able to achieve the same if perhaps faster than it was before.

They're already cheaper than the price of the original MiniPets in the FD Emporium
No, I'm not confused. I just hate it and am whining.
Seriously.. They really need a price drop :/
