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!

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.

List of Current Featured Updates
  
=== Salt Rocks ===
+
== ''' [[Halloween Update|31 October 2023]] ''' ==
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.
+
Happy Halloween!
  
=== Pet Food ===
+
'''Ghostbusting Season'''
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.
+
- 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!
  
=== Shields ===
+
'''So, to hit the ground running, here's how to participate:'''
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!

- 1. Harvest a Pumpkin in the grassy fields, just south of the spawn hub;
  ~ Your Curse of Aros team.
+
- 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!

'''''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!)  
+
- 1. [[Bionic Skull]]
 +
- 2. [[Bionic Ribcage]] (chestpiece)
 +
- 3. [[Bionic Limbs]] (legpiece)
 +
- 4. [[Scream Mask]] (rare!)
 +
- 5. a Lootling pet
  
Dangerous PvP
+
'''New Cosmetics'''
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!  
+
- 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!
  
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!
+
'''Support for emoji bubbles'''
 +
- 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.
  
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.
+
'''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.
  
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!
+
'''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.
  
Bank Amount Button
+
'''Potions?!'''
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.
+
- 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.
 
 
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!
 
 
 
Here is where you can find out all about the [[High Risk PvP]] area!

[[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.
 
 
 
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;
 
- Pet facing issues after combat have been fixed;
 
- Spiders have been graphically updated;
 
- Three new Bunny Ears cosmetic hats are available;
 
 
 
Happy Feaster!

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

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.
