Hello Everyone!

I've teamed up with @Cherche who had a lot to say about the hoards and we worked out a new improved hoard system! I've been listening and here is the long awaited (second) hoard update. Thank you very much for your patience and continued support!

The hoard system has changed a lot now and will take effect on every returning pet:

  • Rarity

    Rarity is no longer tied to a pets level. A low level pet can find very rare things again if very lucky.


  • LVL/SLVL Progression

    The hoard results now depend on the LVL/SLVL of a pet much more. Higher LVL/SLVL pets will find much more items than low LVL pets. Also min. two hoard finds are now guaranteed!


  • Item Grade

    The grade of hoard finds is now affected by the pet's level, increasing as your pet's level increases.


  • Item Quantity

    The quantity of hoard finds depends on the SLVL, rarity and potion effects now. However item quantities have been drastically reduced!


  • SLVL Influence and Limit

    A high SLVL now increases the chances of finding more items. However, it is limited to the pets current LVL. A Pixpet with the LVL 20 will also have a max SLVL of 20. Only LVL 100 pets can also have an SLVL 100. Like this LVL 100 pets are worth much more again now.


  • Item Chances

    It is now possible to find multiple eggs and/or decor on a single hoard! The way the game chooses the item types a pet can find is now more based on RNG.


  • Hoarding Times

    Hoard times and Resting times have now been shortened at lower levels and increase overtime. But overall, times have been shortened allowing you to send your pets on more adventures!


  • Potion Changes

    The Pixpet Rarity Excluder now excludes down to rarity 33 again (for grade 100)! Potions will now give extra item find chances for the potion type. For example, a seed potion will give you 1-5 extra seed finds. Deco and Pixpet Potion will guarantee +1 Egg/Deco find.



Thank you and I hope you enjoy this update! I will continue to observe and see if any tweaks are required.

We hope you continue to support and enjoy Pixpet!

Special thanks again to @cherche for testing and improving the new hoarding code.


Happy Hoarding!

The seed potion strategy on low leveled pixpets for pumpkin seeds just got DESTROYED. The new slvl based on lvl is going to be difficult getting used to, though all other changes seem fair. Already loving the sound of the egg/deco change! Happy hoarding

Another interesting update! I'm curious as to how the SLVL limit will affect hoards in the long run. Huh, time to bring out my level 90+ pets that have been in the inventory for a while

Personally I really liked the last hoard rework and I didn't think it needed many adjustments but obviously I will give this new version a chance before judging too hard xD My first impression of this second rework is definitely not as bad as I had feared xD

I'm pretty sure I will approve of shorter hoard times xDThe wait times were one of the biggest factors in making the game not as enjoyable for newer players imo so I'll hope they'll have a better time now^^

The only thing I'm really worried about is the rarity. I thought the first hoard rework was such a huge improvement for the rarities and I'd hate to see them going back to not matching with the actual situation in the game again. Lets just hope low level pets really need to be "very" lucky

Oooo I really like these changes, especially for the item grades! This update seems more balanced than the last one and looks like a step in the right direction. Time to dust off my high level pets! Hopefully the wait times are at least under two days for LV100 pets but if not I’ll take what I can get.

neat! this gives me a new goal of leveling everyone to 100. I like these changes on paper, hopefully they're just as rad in practice.
