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!

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!

This update brings 2 new skills and a new cosmetic Lumberjack Outfit!

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
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.

Crafting Skill
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!

Relics
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!

Graphical Reworks
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!

Lumberjack Outfit
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.

Other Changes
Some other improvements have been made to Curse of Aros:

- Smithing axes and pickaxes now requires logs for the handle;
- The Saving Grace bug has finally been eradicated;

We hope you enjoy this update. While you do, we'll be working on more!

Yours XPfully,

- The Curse of Aros team.
