		+	== ''' [[SUMMER 2022 EVENT\|12 July 2022: 2022 Summer Event]] ''' ==
		+	‎<blockquote>Sunshine, beaches, ice-cream and peaches. For most of us, summer has already been going on for a while, but for Curse of Aros it has just begun. Team battles, balloons, contests and shard sales is forcasted for the coming two weeks. Oh yeah, did we mention you can swim on the Summer island? Hop in and have fun, make sure no one throws you in!
		+
		+	''''' Two new bosses '''''
		+	With two new bosses coming this update, you can really grind for that sweet loot. The Kraken has all new mechanics, and one hell of an animation. The [[Beach Ball]] is busting some old, but effective moves!We've added a system where you get the next item in line if you're rolled one you've gotten before. No duplicates!And don't worry about dying to the bosses, the Summer Gods have blessed your exp. Speaking of exp, did we mention the return of the Event Spirit? For those who don't know, the Event Spirit gives everyone a chance at +50% xp world bonus every time a [[Beach Ball]] or [[Kraken]] is taken down. Both bosses have pets and cosmetic drops that can be obtained via drops or through the cosmetic shop.
		+
		+	''''' Minigames '''''
		+	During the event we'll also be running minigames throughout the weekends. Both weekends have entirely different minigames, so stay tuned for Friday's announcement on more details. A discord invite will be sent out for both weekends for when the minigames will go live.
		+
		+	''''' Brand-new Limited Time cosmetics '''''
		+	We loved the feedback from the easter event, and we heard you loud and clear. MORE COSMETICS. Our wonderful artists have yet again exceeded expectations, and we have a very exciting summer collection that should have something for everyone. The new cosmetics are for sale until Sept 1st, 2022. After which they will be removed from the cosmetic shop.
		+
		+	''''' POP! POP! '''''
		+	The balloons are back, which means CoA is celebrating yet another birthday! As tradition goes, we've of course added the Party Hat 4 🥳 . Killing balloons is the only way to get a Party Hat 4 🥳 drop. Make sure to plug your ears before they pop!
		+	‎</blockquote>
		+	== ''' [[Easter event Update\|15 April 2022]] ''' ==
		+
		+	- Quick, we need your help! The [[Angry Carrot]] has taken over the easter island and trapped the easter bunny. We need your help taking him down. Please approach carefully, we've had dozens of reports of carrot bombs that instantly kill you if you're caught in their explosion (don't worry, you wont lose xp if u die to a carrot bomb). Although he's angry, Easter always puts The Angry Carrot in a good mood. He has decided to give drops to everyone and chances at double xp for the entire world! Walk through the easter egg at spawn to start your battle!
		+
		+	== ''' [[Magic Release Update\|1 Febuary 2022]] ''' ==
		+
		+	[[File:Magic_Release_Update_m.png\|thumb\| Magic has just been added to the game as well as many other things. Read more here ]]
		+
		+	'''''IMPORTANT PLEASE READ'''''
		+	- '''''THE LATEST CLIENT VERSION IS REQUIRED. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LOGIN WITHOUT VERSION 1.27.0'''''
		+	Wishing well 50% xp boosts will NOT work for Magic + Tailoring on initial release (it will still work for other skills).
		+	Magic and tailoring are capped at level 60, we did this in case there are any unexpected XP exploits. They will be raised throughout the week.
		+
		+	'''''Magic''''':
		+	- As everyone already knew, Magic falls on February 1st, 2022. So without further adue, Magic is finally here! One of the longest waited and hyped Curse of Aros updates have arrived. Magic brings a whole new dimension to combat in Curse of Aros. Use cover and distance to your advantage with the new Mage class. Initially, there are 4 classes of tomes. Fire, Nature, Curse, Ice. Tomes are your ammunition. Every single time you cast a spell, it consumes a tome (more specifics on this later). A mage's strength is keeping their distance and doing a lot of damage from afar. Getting too close is dangerous as you don't have as much defense as warriors. Start using magic by visiting the merchant in Brightleaf and buying yourself a Wand and some Ember tomes. To attack mobs, click on the mob you want to attack and an outline will appear around them. Once the outline is visible, you can hit the attack button to cast a spell. Group mobs together for some awesome AoE combinations and big crits. The enchanted staffs (level 30), are enchanted with Fire, Nature, Curse, and Ice powers. Use the same class tome and staff for a passive buff of +10% accuracy and damage, and 25% chance of not consuming a tome when casting a spell. This is just the start, magic will bring so much change to Curse of Aros and we can't wait to share it with you.
		+	-
		+	''''' [[The Nature Dungeon]]''''':
		+	- The latest of our elemental dungeon series has arrived. The Nature Dungeon. This dungeon starts off as a relatively low training area which is [[Magic]] Only. Grind mobs until you have enough kills to unlock the path to the puzzle room. Once you enter the puzzle room, you're on your own. You will not see any other players while you're inside of the puzzle room. Solve the puzzle to enter the boss chambers. The boss is a medium level [[Nature Elder]]. Don't let his level fool you, he is a VERY tough boss to beat without a good team. Make sure to bring [[Anti-Poison Serum]]s, [[Scrolls of Magic\|Scroll of Magic]] and lots of heals. You can find the entrance north of Brightleaf where the Xmas and Hween event were.
		+
		+	''''' [[Tailoring]] ''''':
		+	- [[Tailoring]] is our newest non-combat skill in CoA. Use the tailoring skill to make tomes and staves for [[Magic]]. Tailoring will eventually be one of the biggest skills in CoA, with future uses for [[Ranged\|Archery]], [[Sailing]], Home Building, Guild Halls and more.
		+
		+	'''''HR-PvP''''':
		+	- After long discussion we've made the choice to vault Hr-PvP (safe pvp and battlegrounds still available). HR-PvP as it stands in not in an healthy enough state to keep it in the game. It currently remains quite unpopular and is the cause of a lot of problems within the community. We'll work on HR-PvP behind the scenes and re-release it once we think its in a healthier state for everyone to enjoy.
		+
		+	'''''Skilling Island''''':
		+	- [[The Skilling Island]] is a new piece of content for skillers who really enjoy the grind. To access the Skilling Island you'll need passes;[[Skilling Pass\|Skilling Passes]] to be specific. Each pass grants you 60 seconds of access on the island, once your time is up, you'll be kicked off. Initially, skilling passes are obtained through world boosts. Each boost tier will provide you with Skilling Island Passes. Feel free to use them yourself or sell them to other players. The breakdown of how many passes per tier is as follows.
		+
		+	- 20 min boost = 1 hr of [[Skilling Pass\|Skilling Passes]]
		+	- 1 hr boost = 1 hr of [[Skilling Pass\|Skilling Passes]]
		+	- 2 hr boost = 2 hr of [[Skilling Pass\|Skilling Passes]]
		+	- 4 hr boost = 3 hr of [[Skilling Pass\|Skilling Passes]]
		+	- 6 hr boost = 4 hr of [[Skilling Pass\|Skilling Passes]]
		+
		+	'''''Other new features''''':
		+	- [[XP]] bar for any skill
		+	- added [[Magic tree]]s - level 90 [[Woodcutting]] with a chance to drop [[Magic Essence]]
		+	- you can now remove items from action bar by clicking an empty inventory slot in the selection menu
		+	- teleporters are now unlocked for a one time fee and stay unlocked forever
		+	- moved desert teleporter closer to town
		+	- brand new shard, crafting, shop interfaces
		+	- bank scrolling doesnt reset when closing the interface
		+	- new client HUD
		+	- added split mode for action bar in settings
		+	- added attack button layout settings
		+	- increased the size of [[Brightleaf]] (still under construction, expect big map changes coming)

		+	- added key binds 1-8 for action bar on pc
		+	- added key binds "m" for map, "t" for chat
		+	- the potion bar has been officially removed and replaced with the new quick bar. Tap and hold a quick bar slot to add potions to your quick bar.
		+	'''''Drop changes''''':
		+	- [[Ice Demon]], [[Ice fiend]]s, [[Ice raptor]]s, [[Ice spider]], now drops [[Ice relic]]s
		+	- [[Mummy]], [[Skeletal snake]], [[Skeletal bat]], drop [[Cursed Relic]]s
		+	- [[Skeletal snake]], [[Skeletal bat]] also drop [[Relic of Fire]]
		+	- Nature mobs drops [[Relic of Nature]]

		+
		+	Jump in the whirlpool, and brace yourself for an adventure, everyone
		+
		+	'''The Shadow Dungeon '''
		+	Deep beneath Brightleaf lies a dungeon, vast, and dangerous. Legend has it a once-powerful alliance of Nature, Fire, and Water formed together to protect the Cursed Ruler. Through the ages, layers of sand and ash have covered these nations, sealed away from the world.
		+
		+	Discover the first part of the Elemental series: The Shadow Dungeon. It may provide you with protection.
		+
		+	And don't forget to pay a visit to the Prison, for the Flames have been alone for a while now...
		+
		+	'''On the Horizon: MAGIC '''
		+	Ahead of time, we're making one of the largest fundamental changes to Curse of Aros: the way Skill Points work, and the way your level works. Where you once had "a level", you now have "combat skills" and "a combat level". Remember "your level"? Yeah, that's now your "melee level". And the thing above your head? That's your combat level, the sum of '''Melee, Magic and Ranged'''.
		+
		+	This change is in preparation for Magic, Curse of Aros' largest update. Not much changes today, aside from a few extra stat points to spend!
		+
		+	'''The Wishing Well '''
		+	Toss a shard to your, uh, well.. and bless the entire World with your own hand-crafted event! Sprinkle some love around your homeworld and celebrate Bonus XP with everyone together.
		+
		+	'''Quality of (Virtual) Life '''
		+	We've made the following complemental changes:
		+	- Fixed a world lag issue so that W1 remains playable;
		+	- Skill names now show in "max reached"-messages;
		+	- Wat Bat is no more;
		+	- Beetle descriptions have been fixed;
		+	- Ring of Sweetness stats have been removed;
		+	- Giant Squid cooking text has been fixed;
		+	- Ancient Platebody now has the correct name;
		+	- Bank space has been increased to 210 slots;
		+	- Anglerfish now gives 625 cooking XP;
		+	- Ancient gauntlet stats have been buffed;
		+	- ''@Marcos can play Mining Simulator again. (Reference to a player named Marcos on the discord)''
		+
		+	As always, we're grateful for your support. Thank you!
		+
		+	The Curse of Aros team
		+
		+	== ''' [[June 2021 QoL Update\|4 June 2021]] ''' ==
		+	[[File:June_2021_QoL_Update m.png\|thumb\| Brand New Minimap Feature with icons showing points of interest!]]
		+
		+	Unsure where to go next, everyone? One of the most requested features was the World Map, and here it is in full glory!
		+
		+	'''A World Map!'''
		+	Though an initial version, it allows you to discover the entire world, see where you are, and all the available interesting points. We will soon be expanding the map with requested additions, such as '''monster zones''' and '''task board guidance'''.
		+
		+	'''Unlocked Movement'''
		+	A deeply desired QoL was a movable thumbstick to make it easier on the hands. By default, it can now be used in about 33% of your screen when dragged, similar to a variety of other games. '''Don't like it? You can turn it off in settings!'''
		+
		+	'''Denoised Chat'''
		+	We've made the chat panel much less noisy - the background is gone, and only a few messages gracefully show up in the bottom. The expanded version is still there - just press ''' "Tap to chat" '''. More chat tweaks are coming up, such as filters, too!
		+
		+	'''Redesigned Loading Screen'''
		+	Even though it's visible for about 0.12 seconds, we've added Umbra to the loading screen to spice it up.
		+
		+	'''Sign In With Apple on PC'''
		+	For our #patreon members, we have made the #desktop-game-download support Apple ID as a sign-in method too.
		+
		+	'''Notch Avoidance'''
		+	The text in the chat window now has a slight padding to avoid notches in a variety of phones.
		+
		+	'''Crispy New Icon'''
		+	We've also chucked Umbra right at your launcher, and as our icon in the Google Play Store & Apple App Store.
		+
		+	'''Magic Preparation'''
		+	In preparation for the Magic update, we've added a lot of (invisible) features that prepare you for Magic. You won't notice them, but they're there.
		+
		+	'''Regression: Snowballs'''
		+	With our Magic tweaks, Snowballs temporarily do not work. This is intended, and will be fixed with the launch of Magic (or even sooner).
		+
		+	We hope these features are much welcome. Enjoy them while we're readying up more...
		+
		+	'''''NOTE: This is an app-only update!'''''

		+	== '''19 November 2020''' ==
		+
		+	Two years ago, a tiny game made its way to the Google Play Store - you could hit a bat. Literally.
		+
		+	Here we are, two years later, with more than a thousand people playing concurrently and over 1.5 million accounts created. Hundreds of thousands of hours of playtime later, it's time to celebrate how far we've come!
		+
		+	We're eternally grateful for you, our dear players, and of course to our Patrons - you're all appreciated. Thank you everyone so much for making this happen - each of you contributed to this amazing achievement.
		+
		+	To celebrate, we've chosen to do what some of you have missed out on. There's balloons all over Curse of Aros, with exciting loot inside - including PartyHat 2!
		+
		+	This time, there's pinatas to whack into oblivion that give Anniversary Keys, with which you can open the chest at spawn for some exciting loot - maybe the ultra-rare Jester Hat?
		+
		+	We hope you enjoy this festive celebration. Thank you for being here!
		+	PS: Tomorrow, we're dropping an additional goody.
		+
		+	Your Curse of Aros team.
		+
		+	== '''8 November 2020''' ==

		+	[[File:Shadowdune_Map.png\|thumb\| This update brings a whole new area to the land of aros as well as cool new items!!!]]
		+
		+	Everyone!! We've worked for longer than we would like to admit: this is the accumulation of 12 months worth of small improvements on a never-ending project. Now, it's here, and we've done everything in our power to make this the most exciting update ever. And we think it is. Here's why...
		+
		+	'''Shadowdune'''
		+
		+	The main area of this update is Shadowdune: the large landmass you've all had slight sight of. Venture into it, but not unprepared: various monsters await your arrival. Scorpions, Desert Raptors, Sandstone Golems, Brown and Purple Snakes, Scarabs from Sapphire to Arosite, Cactus Soldiers... brace yourself.
		+
		+	* '''The Tomb of Shadowdune'''
		+	The Tomb, located just north of the village, is only for the strong and brave: vicious snakes are ready to destroy you as you pass. Dare to enter? Be ready to face Anubis and the Anubis Elite, two new monsters with unique drops.
		+
		+	* '''The Mummy of Shadowdune's Tomb'''
		+	The once-strong King of Shadowdune is now found as a sleeping Mummy. If you bring the right key, you might awaken his Spirit and face the strongest boss of Curse of Aros to date. This boss will give you Gold Keys, which you can use in the Tomb Treasure rooms. And uhm... bring Cursed Relics. Just to be sure.
		+
		+	* '''The Mummy's Spirit'''
		+	Once in a few battles, the spirit of the Mummy will be reanimated and make its way to the mainland. A great experience, because this free-for-all boss will drop Experience Potions! Arm yourself with a few of those for your upcoming battles.
		+
		+	* '''Treasure Rooms'''
		+	The Tomb has, as many toms do, treasure chambers. Should you find them, make sure you bring some keys with you to try on the locks. You may just get lucky and open the Gold Chest, full of ancient materials...
		+
		+	* '''Ancient Armour'''
		+	The strongest set to date: Ancient Equipment (95). Finishing off with an Ancient Scimitar, this set is made from the purest gold and finest materials mixed with the essence of Mummies. Do you have what it takes to achieve the most powerful and shiny armour in the game?
		+
		+	* '''Scarabs'''
		+	There's a new species discovered: gem-backed scarabs! These scarabs have gems to cut off. Need a few shinies? There you go.
		+
		+	* '''Magnetite Scarabs'''
		+	These Scarabs also have a slightly stonger variant: the Magnetite Scarab. These can drop Magnetite, which is used to craft a Magnetic Charge.
		+
		+	* '''Desert Raptors'''
		+	Desert Raptors can now be fought, and are assignable as tasks.
		+
		+	* '''Sandstone Golems'''
		+	Sandstone Golems are large, powerful and all-destructing golems. If you're lucky, you could get the Ancient handle. This handle lets you craft the Ancient Pickaxe and Ancient Axe.
		+
		+	* '''Raptor Hide & Gloves'''
		+	All raptors, from the regular green to the new Desert ones, drop Raptor Hides. These can be woven into Raptor Gloves: handy protection for your knuckles.
		+
		+	* '''Necklaces & Silver'''
		+	Finally, a use for all this silver in your bank! Smelt it into bars and turn it into powerful necklaces, such as the Battle Necklace, or the Ruby Necklace. There's a total of 5 new Necklaces to be made.
		+
		+	* '''Teleporter'''
		+	To find your way around the map a little faster, you can use Magnetic charges to teleport yourself from A to B. They stack in your inventory and will help you to get around a little easier.
		+
		+	* '''Infernal Eruption'''
		+	Once in a blue moon, the core of the world heats up sufficiently to erupt in violence and create cracks in the surface. Be quick, mine them and perhaps you can find a Smouldering Stone!
		+
		+	* '''Smouldering Stone & Infernal Hammer'''
		+	The Smouldering stones can be made into an Infernal Hammer, saving you an inventory slot and providing 4% bonus Smithing XP with 2,000 charges. A must-have.
		+	Black Salt Mining
		+	If you're sufficiently high in mining, you can try to mine the new Black Salt rocks - great for seasoning bigger fish!
		+
		+	* '''Big Fish Cooking'''
		+	You can now cook Sharks and higher at the big cooking table in Shadowdune. For this, you need the Black salt.
		+
		+	* '''Sandworms Fishing'''
		+	In Shadowdune, Sandworms often make appearance through the sand and can be used to catch Anglerfish.
		+
		+	* '''Ancient Pickaxe & Axe'''
		+	With the Ancient handle from Sandstone Golems, and some of the rare materials from the Mummy, you can make the Ancient (Pick)axe - excellent level 95 tools that will help you cut and chop even more efficiently!
		+
		+	* '''Golemite Gauntlets'''
		+	You can now smith Golemite Gauntlets, powerful new handwear, from the normal Golemite ingredients.
		+
		+	* '''Deadrock Shield'''
		+	A nice inbetween-level shield can be obtained from the Rock Demon: the Deadrock Shield. At level 70, it's a great addition to the strength stat of your build.
		+
		+	* '''The Ancient Tree'''
		+	With the nutrient-rich soil, every now and then an ancient seed unfolds into a mighty tree. This tree can be cut for various logs, similar to the Meteorite, but can also give you a brand new unique gem: the Snake Eye.
		+
		+	* '''Snake Charm'''
		+	If you get the Snake Eye, you can make a nice ring out of it that protects you from vile snakes. Be safe!
		+
		+	* '''Sandstone Mining'''
		+	If your mining level is 45 or higher, you can now mine Sandstone around the hot desert.
		+
		+	* '''Sandstone Shield'''
		+	Sandstone can be crafted into Sandstone shields - a medium level shield to protect against damage.
		+
		+	* '''Spinus'''
		+	In the warmest center of Shadowdune rests Spinus, a demiboss that's strong but weak at the same time. Besides the cactus chunks, you can also get the Cactus Ring!
		+
		+	* '''Ancient Rod'''
		+	If you've been lucky enough to get the Ancient Reel from the Mummy, you can now assemble this into a new fishing rod that will reel in the real fishes.
		+	Palm Trees
		+	Have high woodcutting? Great! Cut away at some palm trees. Surely someone will have a use for those logs.
		+
		+	* '''Cursed Relics'''
		+	These relics provide 50% damage mitigation against Cursed attacks. Handy... or required?

		+	Many monsters now carry various spades, from feeble Iron spades all the way to Ancient Spades. However, the latter may be only from a particular monster or boss... These spades let you dig the beetle mounds all around Shadowdune - wonder what's inside? Go check it out!

		+	[[File:Aros_Halloween_2020.png\|thumb\| This update brings cool new items and cosmetics!]]
		+	Happy Halloween everyone!
		+	For the next 20 days, the world of Curse of Aros is filled with Halloween - spooky tunes, scary world events and above all... fun and loot!
		+
		+	All around the world, pumpkins have randomly begun growing! But that's not all, some new creatures have made their way into the world...
		+
		+	'''[[Pumpkin Soldier]]s'''
		+	Around the map, Pumpkin Soldiers and Elites are found which drop bags of delicious candy -AND ITEMS ARE INSIDE!
		+
		+	'''[[PumpKing]]'''
		+	The king of them all, the Pumpking, has made his way here as well. And he's much, much stronger... But everything for those bags of candy!
		+
		+	'''Bags of Candy'''
		+	From these creatures, you get bags of candy. There are three types, of which the Magic Bag of Treats is the rarest, but also the most rewarding! Inside these bags you can find Pumplet, and the Pumpkin Equipment. Will you be the lucky sweet-tooth who gets it all?
		+
		+	We hope you enjoy this event while we're preparing the release of something greater. Have fun!
		+
		+	~ Your Curse of Aros team.

		+
		+	We're super excited to release two brand-new skills to the public! Both Fishing and Cooking are now available! With that also comes shields, which you can smith.
		+
		+	'''Fishing'''
		+
		+	All around the world, bait can be collected. Whether it's as drops from fishing spiders, forest spiders, mushrooms, or forest bats, or the worms you can collect around the game world, these little creatures are perfect for reeling in fish!
		+
		+	You will find fishing spots around the map, but the most populated hub is the fishing docks, straight down from the Forest Bats, past the Forest Fiends. There, you will enjoy a tranquil lake full of fish to catch. All the way from anchovies to entire orcas, a new grind awaits!
		+
		+	'''Cooking'''
		+
		+	These fish can be cooked to perfection too. If you have a pinch of salt for seasoning, you can turn these fish into delicious meals for your pets. You can cook at the cookfire south of the smithing hub.
		+
		+	'''Salt Rocks'''
		+
		+	Two new rocks are now available for mining: salt and pink salt. Salt can be found at the Forest Bats, and Pink Salt can be found in the High-Risk PvP zone.
		+
		+	'''Pet Food'''
		+
		+	The delicious food you cook can be fed to your pets to increase their power. Bring a bunch of good food and your follower will return the favor.
		+
		+	'''Shields'''
		+
		+	You can finally equip shields! These can be forged from metal at the normal smithing hub, and can be worn to increase one's defense stat.
		+
		+	Have fun playing this update while we're working on the things lined up, such as the Desert. Stay tuned for more!
		+	'''Check this out to find out more details about [[Fishing]] and [[Cooking]]'''

		+	~ Your Curse of Aros team.

		+	[[File:High Risk Pvp m.png\|thumb\| This update brings the competition!]]
		+	Prepare your weapons - High-Risk High-Reward DANGEROUS PvP IS HERE!
		+
		+	While we were working on the Desert expansion, we asked you if you wanted us to release the PvP update in the meantime. You said yes, so here's something exciting while we are hard at work finishing up the Desert expansion (of which phase 1 is nearing completion!)
		+
		+	Dangerous PvP
		+	Before we get started, YOU WILL LOSE ITEMS. Seriously. Read that again. This is high-risk. Dangerous PvP. If you die, you lose items and gold. Read it once more to be sure. Got it? Good!
		+
		+	In the Dangerous PvP portal, you'll find the ability to fight other people for their items and gold. Before entering the portal, you are shown what items you will keep and what you will lose at the time of entering. If you pick new items up, it may not be up to date anymore. We recommend rechecking through the portal every now and then!
		+
		+	Dangerous PvP has 1v1 combat, meaning that you can only fight one person at a time. Level restrictions apply here, but if there is a request for it, we will expand the zone with a free-for-all area where larger level differences can fight.
		+
		+	Despite the high risk, you can earn a lot there too! If you kill someone, you get the items they lose. This could be your chance to truly become wealthy through PvP!
		+
		+	Bank Amount Button
		+	The bank interface has received a button that lets you change the deposit and withdraw quantity. You need to have the latest game version for this, and iOS users may have to wait until the acceptance before it becomes available.
		+
		+	Yesterday's Outage
		+	We're going to work on solving yesterday's issue after this update.
		+
		+	The Desert: Just Around The Corner
		+	We know everyone is anticipating the release of the Desert. We are too! There are a lot of changes, big and small, that accompany that update and we're trying to do it in two releases to reduce the wait time. Stay tuned for more information!

		+	~ The Curse of Aros team.
