Hatchmaking Kiosk
The Hatchmaking Kiosk is a new kiosk in the Pet Pavilion (I don't care if they are calling it the Pet Park, it will always be the Pet Pavilion to me). Kingsisle added the kiosk for finding interesting pets easier. The old way of hatching will not be retired. The way the kiosk works is this: you can either browse, offer, or manage pets. When you are browsing pets, first you have to find a pet that interests you. Once you go to that pet, you must agree to the hatching price and hatch with the pet. When offering pets, you will click one of your pets and click offer. This will put the pet in the system, and it will let other wizards hatch with your pet. When managing pets, you can see the pets that have hatched with your pet, and if you want to, you can hatch with that pet.
Here are some notes Kingsisle wants you to know:
- You can also remove any pet you're offering.
- Your pet can only be hatched with ten times, and then it will be removed until you offer it for hatching again.
- Only five of your pets can be offered at a time.
- Your pet will be removed from the system after one week.
- Lots of Crown pets will not be eligible in the Hatchmaking Kiosk, but may be available in the future. If a Crown pet is already in your Hatchmaking Kiosk, no Crowns cost will be applied for hatching with that pet.
- After someone hatches with your pet, it will be removed from the Kiosk for an hour, but will then be put back in.
- Every time you hatch with another pet in the Kiosk, you get a reagent called the Hatch Pepper. Doctor Purreau can give you recipes that use the reagent.
- Once a week, there is a day called Hatchmaking Day. A pet will be featured to hatch with on that day depending on the hour.
A hatchmaking tome has been placed next to the Kiosk in case you forget how to use the Kiosk. There were also a few badges added to the game to go with the Kiosk.
Pet Tome
To go with the Hatchmaking Kiosk, Kingsisle also added a Pet Tome. This tome tells you which pets you have, and some info on each of them, such as their school and which types of snacks they like.
Commons Construction
Renee Wooften and her crew are doing work on the Commons. They added a new dock at the pond, and other smaller things like a small tree by the library, or construction workers scattered around the Commons.
New Loading Screens
There are now new loading screens for every world in the Spiral! This means that whichever world you are in, there will be a different loading screen.
New Skeleton Key Bosses
There are also two new Skeleton Key bosses! One is from an introductory quest given by Dueling Diego to level five wizards. The wizard must face Diego's own brother, Roberto in a dungeon in Olde Town. The other boss is in Zanadu in Empyrea - Corporal Tenni'syn. He is a level 16 Storm boss who requires a gold key to fight. Also, if you are in a dungeon and you look at the map, if in the bottom right corner you see the Skeleton Key symbol, then it means a boss in that dungeon drops a key.
Bug Fixes and Changes
There were also a whole lot of bug fixes and game changes - you can find the full list here!
OVERALL
Overall, I thought this was a pretty cool update. The Hatchmaking Kiosk is a very welcome addition, which will definitely make it much easier to hatch. The small additions to the Commons really seem to be the beginning of something interesting, and the loading screens are a much needed addition to the game. And it's always great to see new Key Bosses.
Well, thanks for taking time to read this! As always, I'll see you in the Spiral!
