[[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
 
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!
 
 
- Your Curse of Aros team.
 
 
Sorry about the hiccups during our update process. Things are operational again!

14 July 2020

We're super excited to release two brand-new skills to the public @everyone! Both Fishing and Cooking are now available! With that also comes shields, which you can smith.

Fishing

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!

Fishing

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.

Salt Rocks

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.

Pet Food

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.

Shields

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!

This update brings the competition!

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!)

Dangerous PvP 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!

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!

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.

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!

Bank Amount Button 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.

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!

14 April 2020

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!
