February Monthly MiniPets
Posted by 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! ;)
@ADMIN-Deinmaar Yeah but I mean, my issue here is that there are five new FD Emporium pets each week. If you are unlucky and the odds are against you, you would need to spend around $1100 to get five super rares (one out of each species box). I just would like to see the AH-career more balanced. There is a menagerie and some people would love to be able to complete it, but at this rate that will never be possible, because who has $1100 to spend each month (even $2200 if you want to go for a male & female of each SR).
But oh well, we shall see how this works. I just hope it doesn't end up like the snowpets, where there are maybe only 100 super rare snowpets of them available. It just sucks, I would have loved to see the percentages of uncommon, rare and super rare upped by.. a bit. Like, even if it was 10% for the super rare, 20% for the rare, 30% for the uncommon and 40% for the commons. I'd be more okay with that.
I LOVE these boxes! Soo much fun, thank you for these!
OK holy shit I absolutely LOOOOOVE blind boxes and I mean love them. These are literally Furvilla blind bags and I'm sorry if you don't like it but the whole point of it being a 1% chance of a super rare is so the super rare is ACTUALLY SUPER RARE AND WORTH SOMETHING. $220 for a super rare chaser figure in certain blind boxes especially exclusive ones is nothing to be honest.

From what I've seen, several people have already opened SRs in their first few boxes. And super rare pets go for quite a bit of FD in general in the stalls.
I am so very disappointing in this development. I much prefer the limited breeding charges over this Pay-to-Win system that you have implemented here. This has now made it basically impossible for those with out funds to be able to complete their managrie and I hope that you retcon these back to the old system. This is extreme and you should feel ashamed.
And of all the things that were suggested. This is added to the game. No-one asked for this. lol.
I mean... the old fd minipets were double the price but with a male and a female you at least got a guaranteed 7 (original 2 plus five charges) for 1000fd. now you get four for the same amount with the same garbage odds for r&sr. lol gg. there's gotta be a way to balance this better and just the AH career in general tbh.
looking forward to the fest and mystery tho. gonna continue to be a f2p ho &enjoy what i can B)
Are you kidding me? Seriously? If this doesn't kill Furvilla then I don't know what will, but I am done with this site. For real. A 1% chance at getting a super rare? That means you will need to buy ONE hundred bags to MAYBE have a chance at getting a super rare. MAYBE. That's about 25000 FD, worth $220! No that's ridiculous. For one super rare even, while I am trying to collect two super rares of each species for a full menagerie.
I'd say no thanks. And I hope a lot of other people will do that too. This is just not okay. .-. Asking money for it sure, site needs money to stay alive, but this much? No.
Hey, can I ask if the pets will be retired, and not cycled out? It's a bit unclear! Will they return next february or be retired at the end of the month, with the retired grab bag the only way to get the new ones?
I'd prefer that breed charges are limited on emporium pets rather than not being able to breed them at all. That seems a bit extreme, and if I can only have one mini-pet and not be able to breed it to sell extras that just turns me away from buying them. Though I'm not big in animal husbandry, so I probably wouldn't buy them anyway unless I had funds to spare. XD
Looking forward to the festival and crafters thing though :D
