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!
sneep
SR SNEEP WITHIN 3 BOXES I'M BLESSED... ; w ;
I like this compromise for the FD pets, thank you for continuing to think about it and trying to find a nice middle ground! Now they still feel a little exclusive while also allowing people to breed and trade for other pairs.
The mechanical minipets are great and give the quest shop more meaning... although it seems very time consuming and difficult to get a rare pet, and a lottttt of trading is involved to even craft your town's "native" species. It could be fun, I'll hold off on passing judgement until I actually buckle down and make one!
"if you can't get a real pet to love you,"
Ice cold...
oh no the quest shop.. )o0o(
ahh this fish looks like a fish
hot damn, i am so happy the new monthies are being including in animal husbandry again... the super rare sneep is sooo freakin' cute and i can't wait to jump into breeding those guys!
And thank you for making the new FD pets breedable :) now if you would release whatever it is to get the new worker slots then I'd be Really happy :)
Really not a fan of the breeding rates. It'll be difficult to get a SR within like 4 breedings.
Wow, I was just saying we needed more squirrels..
Ah, another few cats to add to my lineup as well. I'm liking this a lot. ^^
