The weather in the Spiral is warming up and Spring has brought some new, exciting content that's just around the corner! I've compiled some of the things you can expect from this update.
New Pet Stat & Event
The Spring Update introduces a brand new pet stat: "Happiness". Feed your pet to boost its "Happiness". When your pet reaches a certain level of "Happiness", it allows you to do certain things, like play and quest as your pet. With this new stat, pets can also fetch nearby items, like chests and reagents. You have to keep feeding your pet to maintain this stat.
Also, the latest KingsIsle Live unveiled that an entirely new Pet-related event, Pet Promenade, will be coming once a month when this update goes live. It's similar to Spiral Showcase, but pet-themed.
"Will Cast" Pet Talents
Swordroll revealed that a new type of talent is coming: "Will Cast". Unlike "May Cast", there seems to be more control over the activation of "Will Cast" talents during battle, although not all of them will be battle-oriented. The cool thing is that your pets can down deal damage as well. To find out more about this new content, head over to Swordroll's Blog.
Pet MasteryWith this new system, when you play a pet game and win 25 times (Tier 1), you won't have to play it again if you don't want to. You can simply press a button to skip the game and win instantly, making it faster than ever before to train your pet. There are many tiers to unlock, and every game has its own benefits. Some games are already being tracked, so you might login to find out you already have mastery over certain games.
