Patch Notes

**Where Are All the Patch Notes?**

While the Feral Wiki does its best to compile all information, not all patch notes have been made **public** by WildWorks. Below is a collection of all patch notes currently known to the general public.

This page lists public patch notes for *Fer.al,* which are generally provided via WildWorks through the official Discord server. Patch notes on this page are formatted as they are provided, and are in order of most recent updates first.

## Build 0.8.10 (341) - October 1, 2020

* **LEVELING!** - Everyone now has the ability to earn XP and gain Levels in Fer.al!
	+ **Q. How does Leveling work?**
	+ **A.** Most tasks in Fer.al now grant you Experience Points! Examples include harvesting, playing minigames, and completing quests. Once you gain enough XP, your Level increases! With each Level you earn, you unlock more rewards. The current Level cap is set to 100.***\****
	+ **Q. How much XP do I need to get to my next level?**
	+ **A.** You can see how much XP you need by hovering your mouse cursor over your current Level in the top-left of your screen.
	+ **Q. What can I earn by Leveling?**
	+ **A.** The rewards you receive upon leveling up are a surprise. You won't know what you get until you level up!
* A brand new Haunted House Sanctuary is available in the Astral Shop. It’s time to get SPOOKY!
* Two new full Dragon mod sets. How dynamic!
* Dizzywing Dispatch rewards have had their levels adjusted.
* The Decree Board has been made more visible. If you haven’t noticed it before, you’re sure to now!
* Multiple bug fixes, although now it looks like we have a skitterat problem.
* Five new LIMITED TIME Cindernoct Dyes!

And of course, Cindernoct itself! See below for more info.

* **Cindernoct is here!**
	+ The moons are once again in alignment, and natural forces within the world of Fer.al have become unpredictable and strange. During Cindernoct, magic is more likely to go wrong—corroding or decaying things, bringing things to life with evil intent, or opening up a magic-user to dangerous influences and spirits!
	+ Citizens and cultures across Fer.al have different ways of acknowledging this time of year, like setting up shrines, charms, or arcane sigils to keep dark forces in check. Spend some time chatting with everyone around Feral to see how they prefer to honor this time of year!

***\**** *Note that due to technical difficulties, the level cap has been lowered for testing. Please see the Official Feral Discord for the most recent info on the level cap*.

## Build 0.7.8 (320) - September 1, 2020

* **SEASON PASS 2 IS NOW AVAILABLE!!** We paid close attention to your feedback from our first Season Pass! In response, we’ve made a few more adjustments to our Challenge and Tier rewards:
	+ All regions in the Expanse will be open for the first two weeks and the last two weeks of this Season.
	+ Some of our new Challenges require you to stand next to a person or object and take a selfie. Make sure you stand close to the subject to get the best angle! Some of these items are hidden out in the Expanse, so you may have to hunt for them first… I even hear that Twigla has lost her hammer somewhere in the Shattered Bay! (The one on her belt is just a backup)
* Included in this Season’s Premium Pass is a new playable creature - THE WEREWOLF! Give us your best awooooo!
* A TON of amazing new accessories, dyes, and furniture from both shopkeepers and the Season Pass alike!
* More new quests in rotation throughout the Expanse!
* Lots of minor bug fixes and accessory adjustments.
* In addition to all of the amazing content in this update, you can now record video as you play! Click on the Selfie Camera icon in your main window to see the Record option, or press F7 to start and stop recording. Each video you make can be up to one hour long, and everything is saved in your Pictures > Feral > Video folder. I’m ready for my close up!

## Build 0.6.6 (300) - August 5, 2020

* You can now purchase Tiers with Star Fragments! Note that the price of a Tier includes each Tier before that. For example, if you already have Tier 5 unlocked and wanted to buy Tier 20, you would also be purchasing Tiers 6-19 as well. At this time, only Premium Pass holders can purchase Tiers.
* Notifications now show a distinction between Premium Pass Tiers and regular Season Pass Tiers being unlocked.

* A new set of Emojis!
* New Avatar Body Mods in the Astral Shop! Right now only Dragon Body Mods are available, so you will only see those options if you already have the Dragon Avatar.
* Single hold harvesting - You can now simply hold the E key or left click to harvest without having to break between harvested items.
