==== 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!

== ''' [[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!

== ''' [[Halloween Update|31 October 2023]] ''' ==
 +
Happy Halloween!
  
−
== ''' [[Magic Release Update|1 Febuary 2022]] ''' ==
+
'''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!

[[File:Magic_Release_Update_m.png|thumb| Magic has just been added to the game as well as many other things. Read more here ]]

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

=== '''''IMPORTANT PLEASE READ''''' ===
+
  - 1. Harvest a Pumpkin in the grassy fields, just south of the spawn hub;
−
  - '''''THE LATEST CLIENT VERSION IS REQUIRED. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LOGIN WITHOUT VERSION 1.27.0'''''
+
- 2. Kill and Skill until you've obtained 50 Luminant Souls (any monster or XP activity drops them);
−
Wishing well 50% xp boosts will NOT work for Magic + Tailoring on initial release (it will still work for other skills).
+
- 3. Take the Spider-Express cart (south of the anvil and furnace) to the event zone;
−
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.
+
- 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!

'''''Magic''''':

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

- 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]] ''''':
+
- 1. [[Bionic Skull]]
−
  - [[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.
+
- 2. [[Bionic Ribcage]] (chestpiece)
 +
- 3. [[Bionic Limbs]] (legpiece)
 +
- 4. [[Scream Mask]] (rare!)
 +
- 5. a Lootling pet
  
−
'''''HR-PvP''''':
+
'''New Cosmetics'''
−
  - 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.  
+
  - 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!
  
−
'''''Skilling Island''''':
+
'''Support for emoji bubbles'''
−
  - [[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.
+
  - 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.
  
−
- 20 min boost = 1 hr of [[Skilling Pass|Skilling Passes]]
+
'''World Selector overhaul'''
−
  - 1 hr boost = 1 hr of [[Skilling Pass|Skilling Passes]]
+
  - 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.
−
- 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''''':
+
'''Smithing Gauntlets'''
−
    - [[XP]] bar for any skill
+
- 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.
−
    - 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)
 
−
    - add "Dismantle" option to existing gear/weapons that would break in pvp
 
−
    - 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]]
 
  
−
'''''Bug fixes''''':
+
'''Potions?!'''
−
    - fixed double smelting bug
+
- 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.
−
    - fixed issue with keyboard opening if u press below the joystick

    - fixed issue with restore purchases on iOS

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;

- 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.
