Welcome back to WP! This is most of the stuff that was added from December 2023 onwards.
Exploring:
-Low level forest was bugged and gave twice as many enemies as it should have, so Eve patched that. That means it's better to explore at high levels now.
-Explore has key binding on WASD and arrow keys
-Crafting takes significantly less time
-Basic Accounts get 50 moves and Premium Accounts get 80 moves
-Quests got revamped. Now there's a boar named Gullin handing them out and you can turn down 3 a day. There's also bounties where you find a certain enemy in explore and event quests.
-Bronze figurines and Chinese pottery from Bidoo cost half as much (30 and 15 respecitvely)
-Most events got some items or encounters added to it. The Charon's blessing token now can be used on Round 1 (with Round 5 buffs)
-New June voodoo event. Can turn off explore events
-Pursue was added. All wolves automatically know it and it prevents enemies from fleeing, but wolves might not pursue on a turn depending on disposition.
-Gamemail sent to FMC winners
Breeding:
-Wolves can interbreed within the pack (not just alphas)
-It's easier for pelts to pass down to offspring. This is for all rarities, including Exclusive and Crystalline.
-Breeding for Rarity has been made slightly easier. Pups inherit more of their parents markings.
-Talent inheritance changes:
"1- The chance of talent inheritance has been decreased. It is still better than it originally was, but is less than the overpowered chance.
2- Talents will only be worth 10 additional CP not 20.
Note: This change only affects inheritance. Talents added manually still give 20 CP."
-WP Buff: "Wolf Party has had an update such that it is easier to have the marking color show up on your wolf. It gets even easier with each successive level. But, overall, you should now start seeing the markings on your first level wolves."
-Lots of Rosewood markings were added
-A couple breeding items were added:
Yarrow - All Pups will be Female.
Mandrake - All Pups will be Male.
-Infatuation boost in WP on Feburary 14th
-HH boost in WP on October 23rd
Other:
-Art rule (March 25, 2024): "Regarding Reselling: If art is purchased with a no selling agreement then it can not be resold, otherwise it's ok. If you do not wish for your art to be resold please include a No-selling Clause."
-A weekly site-run raffle was added recently. The link is under "Today's Winners" on the news page. This also added a new item called a Bear Paw that lets you create a free custom.
-Wolf Totem was added, which auto-staggers your wolves' dominance (free for premium)
-One month premium option in barter
-Can switch between accounts under Pack>Switch Accounts
-Don't know if you PvP, but the wait time is now 5 minutes
-Can create multiple mushroom saving accounts
