Sleuthville's Pet Control has noticed that a particular pet is being neglected. The SPC is preparing to intervene to make sure it receives the attention it is due. ;-)

I hate furores. So, I have to play them to not get negative stats... I am giving up on getting my pet snake. Sorry, Severus, the idea of you was loved, but you are not worth it.

I'm actually in the process of lowering the price now, both in terms of rings and money. Right now I've got it penciled in as $100,000, or 20 brass rings. A perfectly cared for pet can last for over half a year before they get sick, so I think that balances out better. At absolute worst it's slugging through 10 days of Furores (though thanks to the bots it should be faster than that for most people).

Dorian will also be selling some extra items/services to those who already have a pet, namely training services and a happiness booster if you've been forced to leave your pet for a while.

I'm definitely interested in somewhere to release or store pets, but I want to hold off on that until I've finished the mobile update, which is currently penciled in for testing in early October (though take that with a pinch of salt).

Aw man, if I knew the price would be lowered soon, I wouldn't have forked over such an exorbitant price. :(

Hopefully Yeti or Dorian will give you a post-purchase rebate?

Thank you, Yeti. $100,000/20 brass rings sounds much more reasonable.

And I'm wildly anticipating that mobile update!

I'm guessing you paid in rings, glasse?

Sep-7-2017 11:10

Yup, 60 of 'em!

We could have pet boarding if we're planning to be gone for a while. Pet health insurance to help cover the cost (although that won't be as big an issue with the lower price.) Pet sitters on retainer who will come in to feed your pet if you've not done it for over a day. They would have a retainer fee plus a fee for every visit.

Hell, we could even go snooping around in catacombs for all I care looking for medical recipes. If we get enough recipes we could trade them in for a potion or a box of pills or something.

Well then... I guess I'll still keep trying for my Severus P. Snake.

Question though. Snakes start with some toughness and some smarts. When you are raising them, can you up their charm instead? Or is it always tough?

Snakes can absolutely be charming.
