Release Notes — May 5, 2023

It’s time for another exciting release and, although we won’t be releasing all of the epic equipping, feeding, and dueling mechanics quite yet until we finalize the necessary testing, we decided to push forward with releasing this doozy of a patch! So as the second release of the “Hero’s Best Friend” patch, we have deployed Green Pet Egg hatching, Multi-incubating and hatching, and tons of great Pet Viewer improvements!

Check them out below:

Green Pet Egg Hatching

It’s finally time! After months of study, the Hatchers in both Crystalvale and Serendale have finally cracked the code on the precise ingredients needed to hatch Green Eggs. This collection of Pets includes a grand total of 144 variations, including 5 Ultra Odd variants, and 20 brand new Pet families. So gather your resources and eggs into your infinitely deep satchel, head to the Hatcher and get hatching!

Multi-incubation and Hatching

In conjunction with the release of Green Eggs, we are introducing the ability to incubate a plethora of eggs in one fell swoop. Once you’ve dropped your supplies off at the Hatcher, you can incubate up to 100 eggs (50 eggs in Serendale) of the same color and boon, in one transaction. For those keeping score at home, that’s like a 50 to 100 times speed increase! The Hatcher will store all your pending eggs in a huge collection of incubators until they are fully ready to hatch, at which point you can finalize all hatchings in a single transaction. Then page through your brand new Pet stable to check for those elusive Mythic or Ultra Odd variants!

Pet Viewer Improvements

As an added bonus to the above release items, we will also be pushing out some much-needed quality of life improvements to the Pet Viewer interface, filters, and functionality. Here’s a list of the many features that have been added to improve your pet experience: — Filtering by egg type — Filtering by bonus rarity — Filtering for original realm — Filtering for new Gathering Profession Bonuses in new Gather tab — Added Buy Pets tab for easy purchasing access — Toggled sidebar remains on-screen until dismissed — General styling updates to match the Hero Viewer — “Pet Catalog” tab now includes Pets from all origin realms — Added “Gathering” tab Wow, that’s a mouthful. Hopefully the Pet handling experience feels nice and intuitive in preparation for all the awesome upcoming features!

Hatching Events

With the release of Green Pet Eggs, we’re also beginning the Pet Sampler and Pet Extravaganza promotional events that are part of the Hero’s Best Friend patch! Here’s a quick reminder of what you need to know in case you need to jog your memory: A snapshot will be taken on May 19, 2023 6:00 PMin 10 days of all hatched Pets in all wallets in Serendale and Crystalvale.

Pet Sampler

For every Pet held in your wallet on DFK Chain or Klaytn at the time of the snapshot, you will receive one Regular Pet Treat via airdrop.

Pet Extravaganza

If you hatch at least one egg into a Pet between now and the snapshot, you will be entered into a drawing for a variety of prizes, with one ticket for each Pet in your wallet on DFK Chain or Klaytn at the time of the snapshot. Prizes can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11d8q3en1lkHd-lFy6UHUsPq5iCIafqavGnUDi0mg0_Q/edit#gid=0
