Animal Husbandry - odds and charge updates.
Posted by Owner-Aspen on 12 Jan 2020, 8:36 pm
Hi everyone! I have some more news concerning the Animal Husbandry expansion, which we released last weekend.
Tonight, around midnight Furvilla time, we will be reducing breeding charges to 50 per account, as mentioned in a previous news post. Color breeding odds will be increasing once more at that time.
These changes are designed to help you more often reach higher color levels while breeding and to keep the Cottage Shop goods sustainable in the long-term. While we will be monitoring the results of this change, we believe this will be the last update to the odds.
From time to time, we may increase breeding charges to coincide with festivals or special events. We are also exploring ways to rarely re-release certain pets to help with collection completion.
Two new items have been added to the Cottage Shop.
Collectibles!
We also have several new items for the shoppe on order from our artists so please keep donating, there is more to come!
Furvilla Merch Shop will be closed - January 15th thru January 27th
Our Merch Shop will be closing temporarily on January 15th as our shipping staff travels to Further Confusion in San Jose, California. If you are planning to attend the convention, please do stop by table 5 in the dealer room and pick up a special trophy code!
If you would like to place an order before we close, please do so before the 15th. Our shop will be open again after January 27th. Thank you.
That is all I have for you today.
Enjoy your upcoming week!

Furvilla is back! Big news!
Posted by Owner-Aspen on 5 Jan 2020, 2:29 am
Ah! We're still standing!
Please allow me to extend my deepest apologies for this recent unexpected downtime. We experienced several technical issues with our server, which are now resolved. All of Furvilla's data is safe, including your log-in streaks.
The Tiger Eye Peak Festival has been extended once more to January 7th at 11:59pm.
Please accept this following gift with our apologies. A fine trophy for your account, as well as some supplies to help you get started with our new update!
We decided to go ahead and do our previously scheduled downtime after the site came back online. So without further ado, I am so delighted to announce the expansion to the Animal Husbandry career!
Firstly, please allow me to introduce you to Warren, who has taken up residence in the vast wilderness just outside of Furvilla. You can access Warren's Forest through the career page of a villager who knows Animal Husbandry.
"Hello, Furvilla! I am happy to know you!"
Warren's Forest is home to thousands of animals in Furvilla, and he has created a secure and nurturing environment for them, safe from both snakes and recyclers. His forest is always open, for there is plenty of room for all animals who wish to live there.
Through your villager's Animal Husbandry career page, you may visit the forest and donate pets. Based on color rarity, you will receive a very special leaf. Save up enough leaves, and you will be able to spend them on some fabulous treasures in the Cottage Shoppe!
More items may be added from time to time to the Shoppe, so please do keep donating pets and saving up leaves. I would also like to note, that if some items in the shop seem priced quite high, remember that this is a permanent feature and with dedication goals can be achieved.
Pet donations will be shown on a leader board. No prizes come from this board, it is strictly for fun and friendly competition. Each villager will show up on the board independently, so if you have more than one villager with the Animal Husbandry career, please make sure you are donating pets with the one you would like to appear on the board.
Later on, new achievements will be unlockable based on pet donations. Don't hesitate to donate pets early, as you will still be able to collect applicable achievements when they release.
Other changes and updates:
- All animals now show color-coded rarities, indicating color and species. This color coding now also applies to all site items.
- Hallowed Potion and Breeding Potion now work from the inventory and on a pet attached to a villager.
- Revita Bite Pet Treats are now usable on a pet in your inventory.
- Pumpkin Treats now instantly domesticate a wild animal in a stable. The recipe can now be found in the Cozy Cookery.
- Town Hall link drop-downs have been re-arranged, popups concerning breeding items have been slightly redesigned for a better user experience.
- And the big news everyone wants to hear... Breeding odds have been doubled. Charges will remain at 100 per account per day for one week. During that time, we will be monitoring breeding results. After one week, charges will be reduced to 50 per account to reduce fatigue. Breeding odds will then be raised again accordingly. Our goal is to provide a more rewarding experience and help you to complete menageries.
This update brings me to some more news...
Serpent Festival Notice
Now that animals have a safe and permanent home in Furvilla, the Serpent will no longer be accepting them during the yearly Quetzal Palace festival. In fact, the Serpent has proven to be a picky beast who will only accept different items each year from now on.
Fickle.
In the past, the mechanics of the festival allowed players to hoard mass amounts of items a full year in advance to give to the Serpent, creating a situation where new and casual players were at an extreme disadvantage. RNG odds had to be adjusted to compensate for the large amount of donations, and the end result made for a very frustrating experience for every type of player.
We are aware of folks who have saved items for the festival. Please feel free to scrap your equipment, and donate your pets, as these are the designed permanent ways to sink those item types. We are developing ways to use scrap, leaves from donation, and many other items on the site for the festival. We are also being very mindful of all player types, and are relying less on RNG.
Our goal is to encourage players to play during festivals to reap rewards, and we would like to be a bit more generous with what you receive when participating. We feel the changes will make for a much more enjoyable event.
That's all for now!
Thank you very much to each of you for your patience. We have a lot of new content (code related, believe it!) planned for 2020. Our first year as site owners has been rocky with unexpected highs and lows, but we are not going anywhere. We will continue to work to make Furvilla a fun place to be, for anyone who wants to be in Furvilla.
I want to take this space here to thank Owner-Quinn for all of his hard work, time and love in coding these new features. He is a good squirrel. <3

Scheduled Downtime - Jan 3 - 10pm
Posted by Owner-Aspen on 2 Jan 2020, 11:39 pm
Hello everyone! As we prepare for the upcoming scheduled downtime on Friday, January 3rd at 10pm FVT, I would like to announce some changes to the following site content, which we are implementing for game balancing purposes.
When downtime begins, the following changes will be made:
- Battle Moos will be removed from "Steeds and More" in Olde Foxbury. These pets will be obtainable via a new method after the update.
- Hallowed Potion and Fancy Plant Drink Recipes will be removed from the recycle shop. These items will be obtainable elsewhere after the update.
- All restocking pets in all village-specific pet shops will have their prices increased.
These changes have already been made:
The following pets have had their color rarities reduced to uncommon:
A Stray Chow Chow
Deepsea Dunkey
Domestic Heraclex
Soup Quacker
Howling Were-Kitsune
The following pets have had their color rarities reduced to common:
Painted Eggadillo
Four Leaf Irish Hare
Lunar Pig
Pink Flamingo
Winter's Majesty Stag
New Year Finale Firework Ferret
Spring Garden Grazer
Sapling Treeceratops
Chicken Pugget
May Pole Ribbon Noodle
Finally, all pets have been removed from the quest pool. If you see a requested pet in quests, please report it. Thank you.
As a reminder, the downtime will last a minimum of 2 hours as we implement and test new site features. We do not have an estimate of when the site will be back up. The TEP festival will be extended by 1 day to help compensate for the loss of time. We do greatly appreciate your patience and think it will be worth the wait. <3
Thank you for reading!

Happy New Year Furvilla!

Happy New Year, Furvilla!
I hope everyone is enjoying 2020 so far! A bright new decade shines before you, which path will you take?
We have a small token for you to help ring in the new year with a BANG - Captured Fireworks.
CLICK HERE TO REDEEM YOURS!
When this keepsake is held by a villager, it will provide 1 Warrior charge and 1 Explore charge. How versatile.
This one is on us, but if you'd like to horde a few more, they are available at the Traveler's Fair Exchange as a restocking item.
Speaking of the Traveler, I've been informed that the following items have moved back to a restocking rotation in the Fair Exchange: The Traveler Stamp, The Fair Exchange Mail-Order Form Blueprint, and The Fair Exchange Magazine Ad.
Reminders and Upcoming Scheduled Downtime
At midnight tonight, our Black Friday Baublins will end their breeding cycles for good. All 3rd Annifursary events and box drops will end at that time as well. We hope you've enjoyed these mini events!
We have some big plans coming up for this month, and I absolutely cannot wait to share them with you. I wonder if the Oracle would give you a clue?
There will be a scheduled downtime on Friday, January 3rd at 10pm Furvilla time to implement new site features. We do not know how long it will last, but we anticipate a few hours. Please plan accordingly.
We will be extending the Tiger Eye Peak Festival for an additional day to compensate for this downtime.
Happy New Year, and THANK YOU for being a part of Furvilla!
