March Monthlies
Posted by 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!
I appreciate the effort put in to attempt to make the FD pets even out for people... but still, this does almost diddly in terms of being able to collect them all. This just makes the commons and uncommons even more prevalent if we can breed them >.> I don't really think this solves much. My chances are almost entirely the same at being able to obtain a whole set, given the chances of getting an SR. If you made them breedable for two months, it might be slightly more tangible- but even then. I personally think this devalues the already devalued commons and uncommons- even less valuable. I think it added to the issue honestly. But I do want to say thanks for listening to people gripe and for trying something new out.
SNEEP SNOP
oh MY GOD IS THAT A FLUFFY SNEK!
I wish a longer test period for FD pets was used...it's next to impossible to get enough data like this.
Also, quests need to be fixed before you add more features like this.
I DO like the idea of craftable minipets though, and feel they were implemented nicely!
SNEEP AAAA
I am in love with everything here except for the lack of quest fix. Please. At least remove unobtainable items from the quest system before making new mechanics dependent on it.
On another note: Gotta get me some sneeps!!!
Sadly, with a 1 month limit, a 5 day breeding cooldown, and only being able to breed 50 pets a day, there's not really much point in bothering. :c Limited time breeding wasn't fun with the Snowpets, wasn't fun with the Cloud pets, and still isn't fun now. It's just stressful and, more often than not, unrewarding.
YESSS OFB GETS DRAGONS
Great news about the FD pets. Now that they're breedable again I will actually plan on getting some. :)
But the mechanical pets... They're really cool, and I like that the recipes drop from warrior battles. I even don't mind that the organ blueprints are in the Quest shop. But to make one of the components Quest shop exclusive, and at 5 points? I don't like that. I really dislike the questing system in general. It too often asks for expensive and rare items even at lower levels. -_-
How to force people to do broken quests, A+ RANDOM?? Do you hate us all? Is it at least 25% chance each kind?...
Eych I need that sr snek but my luck is so baaaaaaaaaaaad.
