[[File:Feaster_Update_m.png|thumb| This update brings a bunch of new pets and cool new easter themed items and cosmetics!]]
 
−
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.

[[File:Skilling_Pet_Update_m.png|thumb| This update brings 4 brand new skilling pets with unique abilities!]]
 
−
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
+
{| class="wikitable"
−
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
+
<h3> Highscores are found at [https://curseofaros.com/ Highscore Page!] </h3>
−
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
+
= '''Featured Updates''' =
−
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

== ''' [[Halloween Update|31 October 2023]] ''' ==
−
We have made a variety of other improvements:
+
Happy Halloween!
−
- 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!
+
'''Ghostbusting Season'''
 +
- So, what's a Halloween event without killing things? Right, not a Halloween event. But this time, it's not in your hands, as the enemy you're up against is quite hard to hit: ghosts. So to solve that, you're teaming up with the other dark side (yeah there's two) and will be building yourself some brave, emotionally-unstable soldiers, made from Pumpkins and some Luminant Souls. These bad boys will take to battle for you, and guess what? Loot's all yours!
  
−
- Your Curse of Aros team.
+
'''So, to hit the ground running, here's how to participate:'''
  
−
Sorry about the hiccups during our update process. Things are operational again!
+
- 1. Harvest a Pumpkin in the grassy fields, just south of the spawn hub;
 +
- 2. Kill and Skill until you've obtained 50 Luminant Souls (any monster or XP activity drops them);
 +
- 3. Take the Spider-Express cart (south of the anvil and furnace) to the event zone;
 +
- 4. Walk over to the East, and interact with one of the Scarecrows scattered there;
 +
- 5. Choose one of the moods you're in (it's okay to lie) and watch it come to life;
 +
- 6. Wait for your brave unit to decimate a ghost with determination;
 +
- 7. Grab the Lootkin that's dropped, it has your reward inside!

−
'''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'''<br>
+
- 1. [[Bionic Skull]]
−
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.
+
- 2. [[Bionic Ribcage]] (chestpiece)
 +
- 3. [[Bionic Limbs]] (legpiece)
 +
- 4. [[Scream Mask]] (rare!)
 +
- 5. a Lootling pet
  
−
'''Crafting Skill'''<br>
+
'''New Cosmetics'''
−
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!
+
- While this round isn't the most jam-packed with cosmetics as we spent 99% of our effort on the event's gameplay, we do have a few new ones for you to obtain. They're going live within the hour, so keep an eye out, if you want brains!
  
−
'''Relics'''<br>
+
'''Support for emoji bubbles'''
−
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!
+
- In anticipation of quite a few major changes hitting Curse of Aros <s>in a few years or something idk lmao</s> soon ™️, we've added a new emoji-bubble system that we're trialing with this update. Reason for the system is a more immersive experience where we want to have NPCs be more dynamic in their behaviour. On top of that, this system could allow for player-to-player interactions (such as buttons for quick expressions or, when the hardest two-player boss lands as part of the "Lava Update", possibly battle callouts to make teamwork easier..) You'll see more of this system over time as we implement it in various pieces of content.
  
−
'''Graphical Reworks'''<br>
+
'''World Selector overhaul'''
−
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!
+
- We've given some love to the world list, in particular style-wise, but also with a new feature that's going live this week. The new world selection interface will begin showing what world is boosted, giving you a visual indicator of where your grind is most fruitful, if maximising XP-per-hour is your ultimate goal.
  
−
'''Lumberjack Outfit'''<br>
+
'''Smithing Gauntlets'''
−
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.
+
- You can now smith Mythan and Gold gauntlets, on top of the previously existing metal tiers. These were missing before, but have now made their way into the game and as such can be obtained for gear presets.

'''Potions?!'''
−
Some other improvements have been made to Curse of Aros:
+
  - The scrolls you've grown to love have had a make-over. Or well, a bit more than just that: they're potions. The reason for this change is that, as we near the release of Alchemy, these items will find their new use within the wide range of tens (or close to a hundred) of different potions that Alchemy will bring. While it may take a bit to get used to the visual change, we believe that once you're over that hurdle, Alchemy is going to come in like a breath of fresh air, with all sorts of unique potions for you to try, brew, and ruin.

Happy Halloween!

Ghostbusting Season 

- So, what's a Halloween event without killing things? Right, not a Halloween event. But this time, it's not in your hands, as the enemy you're up against is quite hard to hit: ghosts. So to solve that, you're teaming up with the other dark side (yeah there's two) and will be building yourself some brave, emotionally-unstable soldiers, made from Pumpkins and some Luminant Souls. These bad boys will take to battle for you, and guess what? Loot's all yours!

So, to hit the ground running, here's how to participate: 

- 1. Harvest a Pumpkin in the grassy fields, just south of the spawn hub;
- 2. Kill and Skill until you've obtained 50 Luminant Souls (any monster or XP activity drops them);
- 3. Take the Spider-Express cart (south of the anvil and furnace) to the event zone;
- 4. Walk over to the East, and interact with one of the Scarecrows scattered there;
- 5. Choose one of the moods you're in (it's okay to lie) and watch it come to life;
- 6. Wait for your brave unit to decimate a ghost with determination;
- 7. Grab the Lootkin that's dropped, it has your reward inside!

There's a total of 5 rewards you can obtain: 

- 1. Bionic Skull
- 2. Bionic Ribcage (chestpiece)
- 3. Bionic Limbs (legpiece)
- 4. Scream Mask (rare!)
- 5. a Lootling pet

New Cosmetics 

- While this round isn't the most jam-packed with cosmetics as we spent 99% of our effort on the event's gameplay, we do have a few new ones for you to obtain. They're going live within the hour, so keep an eye out, if you want brains!

Support for emoji bubbles 

- In anticipation of quite a few major changes hitting Curse of Aros in a few years or something idk lmao soon ™️, we've added a new emoji-bubble system that we're trialing with this update. Reason for the system is a more immersive experience where we want to have NPCs be more dynamic in their behaviour. On top of that, this system could allow for player-to-player interactions (such as buttons for quick expressions or, when the hardest two-player boss lands as part of the "Lava Update", possibly battle callouts to make teamwork easier..) You'll see more of this system over time as we implement it in various pieces of content.

World Selector overhaul 

- We've given some love to the world list, in particular style-wise, but also with a new feature that's going live this week. The new world selection interface will begin showing what world is boosted, giving you a visual indicator of where your grind is most fruitful, if maximising XP-per-hour is your ultimate goal.

Smithing Gauntlets 

- You can now smith Mythan and Gold gauntlets, on top of the previously existing metal tiers. These were missing before, but have now made their way into the game and as such can be obtained for gear presets.

Potions?! 

- The scrolls you've grown to love have had a make-over. Or well, a bit more than just that: they're potions. The reason for this change is that, as we near the release of Alchemy, these items will find their new use within the wide range of tens (or close to a hundred) of different potions that Alchemy will bring. While it may take a bit to get used to the visual change, we believe that once you're over that hurdle, Alchemy is going to come in like a breath of fresh air, with all sorts of unique potions for you to try, brew, and ruin.
