Balance, Explore and related updates

Concerning the redundant amount of resources gathered from Explore (you can check these form topics: 1, 2) and too fast pet levelling on island, we made some balance update.

  • The difficulty of catching a Wild Pet is doubled, now the chance is 35% for the average pet.
  • The price of hiring a catcher is raised to 200
  • New explore and XP rates:
    • Silver Coins - reduced to х1,5
    • Materials - reduced to 1-2 items
    • Food - stays 5-12 items
    • Chance to find valuable items in treasure chests - reduced to 10%
    • Vermillion from magic seal - reduced to 1
    • XP for normal monsters - reduced to х0,5 (like on the initial balance version)
    • XP for guardians - reduced to х1 (like on the initial balance version)
    • XP for winning on Battle Arena - stays х2
  • Quests require a minimum of 5 energy to be started. The pets still spend all of their energy on quests and return with 0 energy points.
  • You can craft the Bandages from Cotton and Laminaria. The Bandages can be used once per island to restore 1 energy point from the battle loss. Bandages are crafted in packs of 5.
  • The loss in the Beast Temple will force your pet to leave the island.
  • You can find the Chancellery on islands. It will exchange any of your invites to a random one.
  • Portals are scanning the environment and locating the other operational portals. The Portal has a memory limit of 20 points, each point is a located island. Every time when your pet passes the Portal, the number of located islands is reduced by 1. The Portal finds 1 new island every hour by default.
  • You can build the State Portal Service Branch which will gladly take away any of your pets and employ it in the prospect of the island and portals which survived the flood. You will get 5 Energy Flow Cards with located island portals  in exchange for your pet. Each Card is equal to 1 located island and can be used at any time. Enegy Flow Cards are account bound and can't be transferred to another user. We do not plan to sell Energy Flow Cards for Gold Coins until the community will be strongly asking for this.

Auctions and trades updates

  • You can view your Auction Bids.
  • You can view your Pets in Trades and Breeding Offers.
  • You can't place a bid on your own auction.
  • You can cancel your auction if there's no bids.
  • Items in auction take place in your inventory. Please note that only the item type takes a slot, so if you're selling 10 packs of 5 Stone each and have additional 100 Stone in your inventory, all of them will still take 1 Inventory slot.

Other features

  • You can see the time of the next energy point at the energy bar.
  • You can visit your pets in Reserve.
  • You can see a father of the future child on the profile page of a pregnant female.
  • Pedigree is displayed up to the 3 generation of ancestors by default; the previous generations will be displayed if you click "See more" button.
  • You will be redirected to your post instead of the thread when you add a new post on forums.
