The Traveler shares some secrets!
Posted by Owner-Aspen on 28 Jun 2020, 2:29 am
The Traveler has been called away on some (what he claims to be) important business. As such, he will no longer be able to force convince his blacksmith friend to upgrade equipment.
But do not fret, dear Furvillans! You are now able to add your own sockets to equipment, and believe it or not, the final cost to do so is much less then our tricky ol' hyena friend was previously charging.
Socket-O-Matics
By visiting the Fair Exchange, you will be able to purchase the following recipes for your Crafters to learn:
I wonder which magazine runs these ads?
Socket-O-Matic 5 may be obtained rarely when crafting a Socket-O-Matic 4.
When crafted, these recipes will yield a fantastic Socket-O-Matic. Each of these items is able to add up to a certain number of sockets to an equipment. Please read their descriptions carefully before use for best results. These are single-use items.
Ingredients New and Old
The following items are also now available at the Fair Exchange. You will need these items in order to craft Socket-O-Matics.
Traveler's Treasures!
The Secret Ingredient contains a very rare substance that the Traveler has collected himself! Sketchy Stamps can also be added to your Stamp Collection, and you may notice them being asked for in Quests soon as well. Each of these items will have unlimited stock. Item Upgrade Tickets may still be obtained in the Tourney Shop, and have had their cost reduced to 500 VP, down from 875 VP.
As the Traveler has always accepted a combination of FD and FC as payment for upgrades, you will also find The Secret Ingredient for sale in the Furdollar Emporium.
Exempt Items
Unfortunately, I am informed that these Socket-O-Matics will not work on the following items:
All Amulets
All Battlepets
Mystery Meat
Sheet Collar of Amasis
Silvered Dagger
Lunar Diadem
Solar Flare Collar
Crossbow
Bow of Fury
Antler Bow and Arrow
I tried to talk the Traveler into allowing it, but he says it simply cannot be done.
Crystal Removers
Have a crystal in an item and need to get it back? Also from the Fair Exchange, as well as the Furdollar Emporium, you may now pick up a Crystal Remover for a modest price.
A Crystal Remover is a single-use item which allows you to choose which crystal already on an equipment you possess shall be removed. This is mostly useful for expensive or rare crystals.
Remember, you can still replace a crystal that is currently a socket with a new crystal, but the new crystal will destroy the current one unless you remove it first.
Back Again Someday!
The Traveler tells me that his plans include exploring outside of Furvilla to find some new and exciting things to share with you all. He assures me he will return, perhaps unexpectedly, with new and exciting deals... someday.
If you happen to have an outstanding trade with the Traveler at this time, he will honor it before he leaves on his journey. Otherwise, it is now up to your villagers to help you craft Smithing Hammers and Socket-O-Matics!
I look forward to your return, hyena friend!

In the description of the Socket-O-Matic thingies it reads: "One socket is added per use"
Does it means those that grants more than 1 socket can be used that amount of times before it disappears?
Can we use them in more than one item?
Very nice, indeed! Thank you for this upgrade!
FloWolF The food wrappers are used in the The Fair Exchange Magazine Ad, which is used to make the Feast Costume~
Thanks for this ^^
I transferred the traveler some used food wrappers, was it supposed to be a trade? Will this be honored as well?
So..... no more upgrading of weapons? I'm happy the socket/crystal add/remove thing has been created. That'll free up people to keep their precious crystals and saves The Traveller a lot of hassle c= thank you!
I love when I'm given autonomy over my weapon upgrades :3
But "no battle pets"? boo.
I'm very glad that we'll have more autonomy over upgrading our equipment, been waiting for a while to be able to socket my own gear, thanks for this!
This is amazing!!
