Treasure Hunt!
Posted by Owner-Aspen on 30 Jul 2023, 12:36 pm
Ahoy!
I am pleased to announced the start of Oceandome's Treasure Hunt!
The Prize Shoppe(s) will open when unlocked, and will close at 11:59 PM on August 21st.
Now, read on and pay close attention!
Join Your Team
To foster the spirit of cooperation, Oceandome's own Mayor Octavia has decreed that all participants in the Hunt be organized into three teams, independent of which village you hail from.
Octavia has assigned her dear friend, Hammondae, as the Hunt's chief organizer. Hammondae will interview you each one by one to determine which team best fits your personality. What they say goes, no take backs!
Will you be a Deapsea Dreamer, a Kreeping Kraken, or a Seafaring Serpent? Only Hammondae can say.
Once you join your team, you will be assigned a ship and meet your crew. Your crew will welcome you with a special gift, and help you to embark on your adventure!
The Treasure Map
Once aboard your ship, you will be taken to the Hunt's main hub where you see part of a Treasure Map. When the event first starts, the only accessible parts of this map will be links to a Novice Battleground and a Contest page.
Battlegrounds, such as the novice-level Rainbow Mini Krakens, may be accessed from your Warriors' career page as well as the Treasure Map.
The Contest is a friendly art contest where players are invited to design their ship's flag. Make sure you visit the contest thread and read the rules for more info.
There are several additional map locations to be discovered! Each team will compete to discover the next part of the map by contributing Treasure Hunt Compass Fragments to a common pool.
Treasure Hunt Compass Fragments are attained as loot from the Hunt's battlegrounds and as drops found by Explorers while doing regular exploring.
Any compass fragments you contribute will advance your team's progress towards unlocking the next area on the Treasure Map. Once an area is unlocked, every player will have access to that area, regardless of team affiliation.
If another team beats yours to unlocking the next area, don't fret. The progress your team made will be applied to the following area, thus giving your team a head start!
Most the areas unlocked will give you opportunities to do what this event is all about... hunting for treasure!
Please note that Treasure Hunt Compass Fragments will not keep their use beyond this year. So while you can hold on to extra fragments as souvenirs, they will not give a head start in the next Treasure Hunt.
Your Ship and Crew
When you first join the event, you will be given a simple boat and a crew. Hover over their icons to familiarize yourself with your shipmates.
Every 2 hours, you may send your crew out to sweep the areas around your ship to hunt for treasure and other special items.
Your ship is able to be upgraded twice. Progress on upgrading your ship is made by helping to unlock the Treasure Map by contributing Treasure Hunt Compass Fragments.
With each upgrade of your ship, you will also take on an additional crew member. This means more potential treasure found with each sweep!
Furthermore, each crewmember will give alerts to such events as new map areas being discovered, the crew being ready to search for treasure, your ship being ready for upgrade, and treasure being spotted in various areas of the map.
If personal glory is what you crave, there is a leaderboard to keep track of which ship has contributed the most fragments. You will also receive a special prize at the Hunt's end for successfully upgrading your boat to Tier 3, regardless of where you fall on the leaderboard.
Treasure
Oodles of treasure... the ultimate goal of any treasure hunt, right?
As mentioned earlier, there are two ways to hunt for treasure:
- Sending your crew to sweep the area for treasure every 2 hours. Remember, the bigger the boat the bigger your crew, and the more treasure they will find.
- Searching unlocked areas on the map for treasure. Treasure will spawn in each area in different ways. Each area has a crew member with the ability to automatically alert you to the presence of treasure in their assigned area. So don't neglect on upgrading your boat and growing your crew!
Each team has a different pool of treasure that may be discovered by your crew with each sweep. However, your team does not effect which treasure you may discover in the areas of the treasure map.
So in the end, what do you do with your treasure?
You can convert it to Plunder Points! Plunder Points are currency which you will be able to spend on prizes at the end of the event. You may select treasure you want to convert via the link on the event page, or directly from your inventory.
NOTE! Unspent Plunder Points will not carry over to next year. However, treasure items from this year, (as well as previous years), may be converted to Plunder Points in this and future Hunts.
May your Hunt be rich with treasure!

It’s GALA TIME! I expect you will be getting yourself ready for that... Do be sure to bring plenty of feathers, as there will be many objects available at the Gala for your perusal and purchase: stickers, rare and super rare creatures... perhaps other things, as we hosts see fit.
Go ahead and grab a fancy hat from the link below, your active Villager will need to be wearing it to be granted entry.
Enjoy the rest of the festival and happy Gala!

Serpent Tribute NOW!
Posted by Owner-Aspen on 27 Mar 2023, 6:30 pm
Hello everyone! I am excited to announce the beginning of our 2023 Quetzal Palace Serpent Tribute Festival!
The Gala Ball, where you may trade your serpent feathers for fabulous prizes, will open on April 3rd and close on April 17th at 11:59pm.
Offerings to the Serpent
As in previous years, all of Furvilla comes together at this time to pay tribute to the Great Serpent of Quetzal Palace, both as thanks and for good luck for the upcoming year.
The Serpent provides Serpent's Feathers in exchange for the items it seeks. These feathers will be used as currency during the Gala Ball's Prize Shop when it opens next week.
The Serpent has several specific demands, which you may view on its donation page.
To obtain items the Serpent seeks, you will be calling upon the assistance of the majority of your villagers, as most careers have something to contribute.
The contents of the starter pack are explained below, so read carefully.
Special new recipes!
The redeemable code will provide you with five new recipes.
Crafters, Alchemists, Tailors, Blacksmiths, and Cooks will craft these recipes. Each time a recipe is crafted, a basic item is guaranteed to drop. Occasionally, a rarer version of this item will drop as a bonus in addition to the base item. The Serpent will award more feathers for rarer items.
Don't be shy about donating these items to the Serpent during the festival! Your villagers may continue to craft the above items forever, but be advised the Serpent is picky and will not accept these items next year.
Explorers help too!
While exploring, villagers of the Explorer career will encounter a special event. In this event, you will meet the owner of Quetzal Palace's own souvenir shop, QP Shopkeep's Goods and Gifts.
Make a left at the Fluttering Fluff Puff stall, you can't miss it!
You may pick up an extra recipe or a special magical stone from the shopkeep!
This special exploration event also has a chance of awarding extra crafting materials through an exclusive openable.
Thank you for shopping at QP Shopkeep's!
Warriors step up!
Your Lvl 10+ Warriors may wish to help your cause by heading off to the Serpent Battlegrounds to spar with various elemental warriors and the Serpent itself! This battleground will challenge your fiercest Warriors as well as provide you with extra crafting items needed to appease the Serpent.
Have a novice Warrior who isn't quite tough enough to take on the main battleground? Don't fret! The Serpent is offering some more gentle sparring and training in a lvl 1+ battleground, but your rewards will be far less... rewarding.
Animal Husbandry pitches in!
In the starter pack link code at the top of this post, you will find complimentary special cloud pets. The Serpent seems to be quite fond of rare and super rare versions of these cloud pets, so start breeding!
These pets have a cooldown of 1 day, and are able to breed until the prize shop closes at the end of the festival, on April 17th at 11:59 pm.
As an added bonus, for the duration of the festival, your daily breeding turns have been increased to 100!
All rarities of these cloud pets will also be available for purchase at the Gala Ball.
Herbalists, get those paws dirty!
Your Herbalists may contribute some lovely flower offerings to the Serpent this year! Head on over to the Cottage Shoppe to exchange leafs for Featherfern Seed Packets.
You will only yield one plant per seed (bonuses do not apply), but your harvest will never fail. After the festival concludes, the Cottage Shoppe will stock Featherfern Seed Packets forever.
User stall QoL update
We took advantage of the downtime to add a bit of quality of life code to User Stalls.
Now, while editing your stall, you may click your stock to take you directly to the stall search. I hope this helps you to more quickly price your items.
Enjoy the fun, and please appease the Serpent. It has been waiting a long time for your tribute.

Shamrock HUNT!
Posted by Owner-Aspen on 10 Mar 2023, 10:19 am
Warm winds are finally blowing into Furvilla, and Spring is right around the corner! To celebrate, your Explorers can participate in the Great Shamrock Hunt from now through March 31st!
Collecting shamrocks is easy! All you need to do is explore and you will find shamrocks everywhere. Collect 77 of them to craft a special Spectrum 4 Leaf Clover using a Spectrum Magic Recipe, which may be purchased in the Cottage Shoppe. This recipe can be learned by Crafters.
Your Spectrum 4 Leaf Clover may be held by a villager as a keepsake, or you can open it to try your luck at receiving one of the following items:
If you are lucky while opening your clover, you will also receive this fabulous bonus!
Clyde.
New to Furvilla, or wish to re-make past Shamrock Hunt items? No worries, you can always pick up older Magic Recipes from the Cottage Shoppe.
Happy Shamrock hunting, and good luck to you all!
