March Monthlies
Posted by Admin-Mat on 1 Mar 2017, 9:48 pm
March is here in full swing, and we have plenty of awesome things planned here at Furvilla!
The FurDollar Emporium is featuring its newest stock of pets!
The Firecat, in all its blazing glory!
A Wyvern, for all the scalie fans!
A Squirrel, for those who were expecting more from the chipmunks last month!
A Frog, for fans of amphibians!
The Sneep, a cute furry snake!
We're experimenting with the monthly mini-pets again and have decided to try out a new method this month: these mini-pets have a 5 day breeding cool-down. They will be able to breed until April 1, 2017, at which point they will become unbreedable. We hope this is good news for those of you who enjoyed breeding them before, and also allows them to keep a solid value!
The Retired Box has popped into the FurDollar Emporium as well. It contains a random box from past months (which would be February, for now).
Clink-clank! What's that noise? It's the new Mechanical Mini-Pets! Well, if you can't get a real pet to love you, why not program one instead?
Crafters have a new set of blueprints available to them - mechanical mini-pets. These blueprints drop from Warrior battles as potential loot that you can find. Each village has its own animal, but you can trade blueprints to other villages if you want to get them all!
To make mechanical pets, you'll need to get two types of items - mechanical pieces and mechanical organs. Pictured above are the mechanical pieces. Each village has its own mechanical piece to be found when exploring. Collect as many as you want, and then start trading the extras to other villages, so you can have enough pieces to create your new mecha pal!
Pets don't last long without hearts and brains, and mechanical pets are no different. Grab the blueprints to build a mechanical organ from the Quest Shop, also used by the Crafter, and get building! 
Mechanical organs require Steel and Oil Cans to build. You can find Oil Cans available in the Quest Shop as well.
Got all your pieces? Now it's time to build your own lovable pet! When you complete a crafting recipe to make a mini-pet, it will randomize which color mini-pet you get. Can you collect them all?
Mechanical Wolves are native to Dragonsmaw Manor!
Mechanical Seals are native to Tigereye Peak!
Mechanical Fish are native to Oceandome!
Mechanical Dragons are native to Olde Foxbury!
Mechanical Birds are native to Quetzal Palace!
Who said engineering couldn't be fun, huh?
See you next time!
It is nice experimenting. Maybe those biscuts in upcoming cooking career could work on retired pets too (that they would be sterile instead of breedable never). Though I think they should have breeding charges, month between breedings is a long time coming.
And if the cash return of them were handsome (curious how you guys are going to improve the sell back value of things ) then people might be tempted to sell from inventory and the pets value would not endlessly go down each month.
Sneeps are cute as heck!
Do the pet boxes still have better RNG than breeding tho
Sneeps: Tick
Quests: Tick
Buildable pets: Tick!!!
THE SNEEP THO
So THAT's where the silver pieces that mysteriously showed up in my inventory came from! (I don't really pay attention to what I get when exploring)
Thank you for bringing about the breeding for the FD pets, even if it's only for a month!
(Also I'm super excited because I got two SR pets out of my four >w>)
Awesome! We ever gonna get a quest rebalance tho?
I agree with Oreloki
I'm loving everything here, but quests can be frustrating to do when they ask for unobtainable or SR items. Especially when you have to wait a solid 6 hours for your quest time to roll over. Perhaps making the wait time between quests shorter? Or maybe even offer a fixed number of re-rolls per day for new quest items if the ones you get are too expensive or just straight up impossible to find.
Not to mention- anybody buying these toward the end of the month can't get in on the breeding like.... at all. So that seems a bit unfair if you don't have funds available right away. If it were "breedable for 1 month from date of purchase," then that would make more sense. It's like a reward for immediate buyers. If that's what you are after, is rewarding people for spending FD asap, then great. But I don't like that this new tweak is centered around people who can buy them asap, and don't have time to save/set aside money for them.
I need that frogies!!!!
