Over the past months, we have gathered your feedback regarding our cosmetic prices. While some are happy with how things are right now, the majority has spoken and said that our pricing is too high. So, we've taken your feedback into account and are updating to make some changes.

Cosmetic Price Reduction
+
<h3> Highscores are found at [https://curseofaros.com/ Highscore Page!] </h3>
We're lowering the prices of nearly all cosmetics, some by 20% and some by as much as 90%. You will now find that getting a full set can be as low as 250 shards, where some of the most amazing sets (think Bloodlust) are still expensive to have some sort of hierarchy in the outfit wardrobe.
 
  
Shard Refunds
+
= '''Featured Updates''' =
Now, this would be unfair to people who purchased shards! Correct. That's why everyone who purchased any of the cosmetics has been given the price change back to their account. So, if you spent 200 on a part that is now 50, you'll automatically be given 150 shards back to your character. You can spend those on your next piece!

List of Current Featured Updates
  
This is a server-only update and will only take a handful of minutes. We will be online again shortly!

'''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!
  
== '''20 October 2019''' ==
+
'''So, to hit the ground running, here's how to participate:'''
  
We're deploying a patch to address some issues in the server and improve some aspects:
+
- 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!
  
- The path to the furnace is shorter and less obstructed;
+
'''There's a total of 5 rewards you can obtain:'''
- Meteorites now have a bright purple message;
 
- Sorting the inventory with a hammer works again;
 
- The PvP square has been fixed;
 
- The Taskboard can no longer be used remotely;
 
- XP rates for smithing have been reduced as they're too high;
 
  
We're still looking into the black-screen issue. We will have a fix for this soon. Promise.

- 1. [[Bionic Skull]]

- 2. [[Bionic Ribcage]] (chestpiece)
 +
- 3. [[Bionic Limbs]] (legpiece)
 +
- 4. [[Scream Mask]] (rare!)
 +
- 5. a Lootling pet
  
Thank you for helping us improve Curse of Aros. This is a server-only update and you do not need to download any update. Thank you!
+
'''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 <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.

'''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.
Update 1.15.2 is here!
 
 
 
Smithing is here!
 
 
 
Take your bars from your inventory because it's time to smith for days!
 
 
 
4 New Armour Tiers
 
We have introduced 4 new armour sets:
 
- Bronze (some items had been renamed from wooden)
 
- Iron (some items had been renamed from leather)
 
- Gold (extremely valuable vanity items!)
 
- Cobalt (level 60 equipment)
 
 
 
You can make all of the above by smelting bars, and then smithing them by first purchasing a hammer and then heading to the anvil.
 
 
 
Boxing
 
To make trading easier, you can box up your ores and bars using the new Boxing Workstations at the spawn point. These withdraw items from your bank, and box them up into stackable, tradable items.
 
 
 
Meteorites
 
Meteorites will now randomly come crashing into the world, and can be mined for ores and valuable gems! Are you lucky enough to get the brand-new Arosite gem?
 
 
 
5 New Cosmetics
 
We've also added some brand new cosmetics, in celebration of Halloween:
 
- The Bloodlord Set;
 
- The Alien Set;
 
- The Scarecrow Set;
 
- The Creep Set;
 
- The Pumpkin Set;
 
 
 
Various Changes
 
We've also made other minor changes to the game that you may enjoy:
 
- A taskboard has been added in the Snow land (Wintermist);
 
- Mythan and Cobalt can now be mined in the Abandoned Mines;
 
- The Ring of Treasure has been added, which grants 10% bonus gold per kill;
 
- A bug with accounts getting stuck has (most likely) been fixed.
 
 
 
We're super excited to launch this update. Quickly grab that update below and get smithing! See you in-game!

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.

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.
