Okay, we need your help. Easter may be over, but Easter Bunny's rabid twin, the Feaster Bunny, has made its way to Curse of Aros to celebrate himself. And he's absolutely done with the happiness from Easter and is ready to eat you alive. Along came his Rabid Army of bunnies, and to put it brief: Unhappy Feaster to us... everyone
 +
 +
Get in gear and enter the Eggciting portal at spawn to dive straight into the battle. Bring a Saving Grace. Fight the Feaster Bunny, defeat Rabid Bunnies, collect the stolen Easter Eggs and open them for a chance to get a Bunny pet! You can also cut Easter Trees or mine Easter Rocks for those eggs, so there's lots of Eggcelent ways to take back the stolen Easter Eggs and defeat the Feaster Bunny's army.
 +
 +
Patch Notes:
 +
- You can now fight the Feaster Bunny on Feaster Island;
 +
- You can obtains a Bunny pet from the Feaster Bunny as rare drop;
 +
- Rabid Bunnies drop Easter eggs which can hatch into the Bunny pet;
 +
- You can also collect Easter Eggs from Easter Trees and Easter Rocks;
 +
- Bank space has increased by 20 extra slots to 140;
 +
- The Pet Merchant is now available and sells cute pets;

Skilling Pets are here everyone!
 +
All the cool pets have always been available only through combat, from the Bat Pet to the blazing micro Umbra, but it's time to change that. Now, skilling too provides you with four brand-new pets which each give a small benefit in their skill category. Meet: Ember, Woody, Woodpecker & Rocky!
 +
 +
Pet Skill Categories
 +
These four pets are divided in two groups: gathering pets and processing pets. Gathering pets can be obtained by Mining and Woodcutting, while processing pets can be obtained through Smithing and Crafting. They can only be trained by practicing a skill in their category, so for a Gathering pet tp level up, you can train it by Woodcutting or Mining!
 +
 +
Skill Pet Benefits
 +
So, as combat pets help you kill things faster, we decided that skill pets had to have a small benefit in skills. That is why Gathering Pets will give you slightly faster Mining and Woodcutting speeds (based on their level), and Processing Pets will give you a slight change to save a log when crafting, or speed up your smithing process. This, too, increases by their level.
 +
 +
Obtaining Shards
 +
Every since the Snowverlord has disappeared, so has the way for free players to obtain cosmetics without paying. We have reintroduced this mechanic with all monsters, and you now have a very small chance to get a candy from killing monsters around your level. Killing bats at level 115 won't really be worth it.
 +
 +
Other Changes
 +
We have made a variety of other improvements:
 +
- Spectral boots now show their correct stats;
 +
- Data usage for the game in general has been reduced;
 +
- Umbra's drops are no longer lootable by others;
 +
 +
We hope this gives you something new to enjoy while we work on Magic, Archery, PvP, Sailing & The Islands of Aros. Stay tuned!
 +

 +
Sorry about the hiccups during our update process. Things are operational again!

[[File:Giant_Hornet_Update.png|thumb| This update brings 2 new accessories, a new monster The [[Giant Hornet]] and a new cosmetic.]]
 
−
'''[[Giant Hornet]]s have appeared in Curse of Aros, everyone! These new lv 62 creatures can be found south of the (green) [[Raptor]]s and bring you two brand new skilling items: the [[Infernal Ring]] and the [[Prospector's Necklace]]!'''
 
−
 
−
[[Giant Hornet]]s
 
−
These new bee-like creatures are worth the hunt: while relatively weak (level 62), they are the only source of two brand new items: the [[Infernal Ring]] and the [[Prospector's Necklace]]. Although a slightly rare drop, these items will be sought after by miners and smiths alike for their XP boosting properties!
 
−
 
−
[[Prospector's Necklace]]
 
−
This new necklace, dropped by the Giant Hornets, provides +5% Mining XP to ore rocks and meteorites. They have 1,000 charges before they turn into dust, but are definitely worth having if you want to speed up the leveling process!
 
−
 
−
[[Infernal Ring]]
 
−
The Smithing counterpart of the Prospector's Ring, this ring provides +5% Smithing XP when smelting and smithing. Since you will find yourself smithing fewer items, this ring has 150 charges before it turns into dust. Nonetheless, it turns every 100 XP into 105XP, which adds up after a few levels!

Guardian Cosmetic

The golden cosmetic in the image is the Guardian Cosmetic and can be bought from the Goblin Trader if you'd like to both support Curse of Aros and look a little cooler.

Bug Fixes & Improvements
 
−
The following bugs were fixed:
 
−
- Umbra no longer makes a fiery mess;
 
−
- [[Saving Grace]] now triggers spawn protection;
 
−
- [[Baby Dragon]]s don't fly away anymore;
 
−
- [[Saving Grace]] now cures statuses when teleporting you.
 
−
 
−
You do not need to update the game - it updates itself.

−
Boss Tasks
 
−
If you're a true boss hunter and don't mind slaying the same evil entity over and over, here's something to make it more enjoyable: Boss Tasks! Once you've reached level 70, Varaxis offers you a brand new Boss Taskboard where you can take on boss tasks. They can be taken on simultaneously with your normal tasks, and can even be done in a team. As long as you do significant damage to the boss, you will progress your task. Boss tasks come with more XP, gold and items than normal tasks.
 
−
 
−
Varaxian Armour Components
 
−
We have carefully listened to all the feedback from update - a massive thank you to everyone who spoke their mind! Most of you felt that while the boss armour was great, there was no real incentive to do the regular monsters at Varaxis, let alone tasks. For that reason, the following components are now rarely dropped:
 
−
 
−
- Golemite fragments, shards and slabs can be obtained from [[Golemite bat]]s & [[Golemite fiend]]s;
 
−
- [[Dragon Claw]]s and horns can now be obtained from the [[Baby Dragon]]s.
 
−
 
−
We hope this makes the game more enjoyable for you, while at the same time not devaluing the prices of the items. Bossing will still be the dominant way to obtain the pieces, but very rarely some can drop from the above listed as well.
 
−
 
−
Boss Improvements
 
−
We have also taken a good look at the bosses and fixed the remaining bugs. While we think we haven't yet figured out the despawning bug, most of the other ones have been fixed:
 
−
- The [[Golem]] can now be attacked while it's doing the ceiling attack;
 
−
- The [[Golem]] does his special attacks less frequently;
 
−
- The [[Golem]] no longer heals when not attacked frequently enough;
 
−
 
−
- A safespot has been fixed at Umbra (yes, you get banned for that!);
 
−
- It is no longer possible to get any loot at any boss without doing significant damage (patches drop stealing);
 
−
 
−
For this reason, you now lose XP when dying to Umbra and the [[Golem]] again!
 
−
 
−
Kill Count Tracker
 
−
Starting with this update, we'll keep track of everything you've slain, and you can see your tracker with /kc. It will show you the total numbers killed since today's update.
 
−
 
−
Reworked Task Rewards
 
−
We felt that task rewards could use a little spicing up, so we've increased the maximum amount of items tasks give, as well as introduced scrolls to the possible reward list.
 
−
 
−
Level Up [[Gift]]s
 
−
For our low-to-medium leveled players, we have introduced small packages that give you a little boost once reaching a level milestone. Although it's nothing spectacular, we feel it may give you a little more motivation to grow stronger by handing you some potions, and the occasional scroll. For those who are higher leveled: fear not, you're not missing out on anything significant!
 
−
 
−
Bug Fixes & Improvements
 
−
- You now need the correct mining level for your pickaxe at meteorites;
 
−
- [[Meteorite]]s now indicate roughly where it struck;
 
−
- There is now a 2 second respawn invincibility to avoid double deaths;
 
−
- The [[Saving Grace]] now correctly works with the Rebirth Scroll;
 
−
- Players can no longer go over the party limit;
 
−
- Incorrect stats have been fixed for Mythan and Crimsteel equipment;
 
−
- Incorrect level requirements were fixed on Golemite pieces.
 
−
 
−
As always, it's our sole goal to make sure you enjoy the game we make, thus we greatly appreciate your feedback in #suggestions or #bug-reports. Thank you!

Sorry about the hiccups during our update process. Things are operational again!


29 February 2020

This update brings 2 new skills and a new cosmetic Lumberjack Outfit!

Woodcutting, Crafting, & Relics are here! In this massive update, we're launching two new skills. a new core game element (Relics) and a lot of graphical improvements to the environment and items.

Woodcutting Skill
The most anticipated skill of the past year has been Woodcutting, and we're super excited to launch it. Across the world you'll find 9 new trees, ranging from pine trees to olive trees, all of which have unique logs that can be used. Yes, they can be used! They're great for crafting.

Crafting Skill
Woodcutting wouldn't be woodcutting without a way to process logs. We've also added the Crafting skill, a brand new skill accompanying Woodcutting where you can turn logs into Relics - new magical items that provide passive bonuses. These bonuses range from slight accuracy increases to bonus experience, and they're all made out of wood. This gives you a great way to use those logs into something you'll benefit from right away!

Relics
The new three slots are for a new mechanic we're introducing: Relics. Relics are small artifacts that carry magical power and give subtle, but noticeable benefits to your character build. You have 3 slots to fill, so there are lots of various options to experiment with to see what works best for you! Respective crafting levels are required and the stronger relics will take a little more effort to get there!

Graphical Reworks
We've been working hard on getting our new unified style out. Something that gives more of an RPG feel than what we've had. We're increasing contrast while working on making shapes clearer and accentuating the important parts of things. We hope you enjoy what we're making!

Lumberjack Outfit
A new cosmetic outfit has been added to go with Woodcutting: you'll be able to rock a beard, a lumberjack hat and the accompanying other half to really immerse in those woods.

Other Changes
Some other improvements have been made to Curse of Aros: 

- Smithing axes and pickaxes now requires logs for the handle;
- The Saving Grace bug has finally been eradicated;

We hope you enjoy this update. While you do, we'll be working on more!

Yours XPfully, 

- The Curse of Aros team.
