My first guide on How to Fix a v-pet

Hiii GalaxyTrekker413 here with a really simple hack to fix broken V-Pets. I found this should be your FIRST line of action when looking to fix broken V-Pets. This is not a guide on customizing/revitalize shells or messing with code but it will bring your buddy back to life, so to speak.
Please let me know if it helped you fix your V-Pet too :D

1. The first step is to craft the Battery item, this can be done by going to the Crafting page. (In the top bar click on “Activity“ and then click “Crafting“.)

2. Find the Battery under 'Free Recipes'. Ensure you have all needed items and click the Craft button located on the bottom right. You have now crafted a 'Battery' and can use it to fix your Broken V-pet.

3. To fix the 'Broken V-Pet' and recieve a mystery V-Pet:

  • Go to the Crafting page. (In the top bar click on “Activity“ and then click “Crafting“.)
  • Find the 'Fix a Broken V-Pet' option under 'Free Recipes' and click the Craft button.
  • Click the Craft button on the bottom right to add a battery to your Broken V-Pet.
  • This turns the Mystery V-Pet into one of the 4 different Fuzzlets at random!
That's it! You’re all done!! You can view your V-pet collection in your “Inventory in the “Collections“ tab!

Remember Try to get all four and SEE you at CosmicCon soon! 🎉

General V-pet Questions

★ Do I need a Xero to collect V-Pets?
No, you don't need to own a Xero to collect V-Pets. Anyone can start collecting!

V-Pets have been introduced as a new collectable to show off in your 'Collections' tab. They will have turn-in functionality, can be used to trade with other players, or be attached to a user's Xeros as an accessory item. We plan on releasing more items to add to 'Collections' soon!
 
My question isn't answered here, where should I ask it?
You can ask any V-Pet related questions in our Discord channel #questions! Make sure to check if they have been answered before submitting a question! You can also comment on this page directly if you need help.



V-pet Specific Questions

What are V-Pets?
Virtual Pets or 'V-pets' are a quasi-intelligent AI built to combat loneliness and promote good health habits among Alurizians. They do this by learning their owner's habits and preferences and gamify self-care routines. While two Fuzzlets, the face creatures for the program, may look similar; their unique upbringing will embolden different emotional traits and behaviors.

Woodland Xeros!

Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 5 months ago by NeonSlushie

A new Subspecies of Xero has been created!

 

Welcome Woodland Xeros!

In the process of finding a cure to help the Koronoks thrive in the wild, Dee experimented with both Koronok and Xero DNA...

a warm welcome to the tree-climbing Woodland Xeros!

Woodland Xeros are adapted to an arboreal lifestyle of climbing trees and hiding in tree hollows. With their lithe bodies and their special paw pads they are perfectly suited for gripping onto all kinds of surfaces and squeezing into tight spaces. Woodland Xeros love being up high and many have been found napping by wrapping their bodies around tree trunks or branches. However, their long bodies mean they cannot easily walk on two legs and instead get around on all fours most of the time.

 

 

Woodland Xeros are in the Anomaly category, so all three of these traits can be obtained by making a Woodland Xero with an Anomaly Xero ORB! If you wish to add these traits to your existing Xero or to another type of ORB please visit the Atelier shop to use the brand new Woodland Vial and Woodland Beaker

 

3 new woodland-specific traits!

Woodland Pads


Flat pads that cover the entire palm and sole of their paws allow Woodland Xeros to grip onto bark and foliage with ease while climbing, allowing them to get to higher elevations quicker. These pads are covered in the same setae as standard Xero paws, but the higher coverage gives them enhanced grip.
Woodland Tail


A Woodland Xero's long tail is the perfect counterweight to help them balance up in the trees. They're also extremely handy in helping them wrap around tree trunks and branches when climbing. While useful for traversal, some Woodland Xeros have found that it can cause quite a tripping hazard in their day to day lives.
Long Body



All Woodland Xeros have a greatly elongated body and shorter, more compact limbs. This adaptation allows them to squeeze into spaces that most Xeros cannot. Their long bodies also enable them to easily wrap around tree limbs with little effort.

✨ A Special Prize awaits after the event...

Save your Orbits! A limited-time special Blueprint will be available to purchase in Jackpot Planet only for event participants after the Twilight Carnival ends, December 3rd through 6th.

It looks like a Blueprint chip from ARC's MAKR Machine, but why do you get the feeling the Curator has something to do with this eerie-looking card? What instructions does it contain?


❗️ a reminder that Multi-Accounting is strictly Prohibited! ❗️

Making additional accounts or using a friend or family member's account to gain extra foraging turns, collect extra free carnival gifts, or otherwise exist purely to funnel additional items and currencies into a main account is against Project Xero rules and will result in a ban for all accounts involved. Please do your part to keep Project Xero fair to all players and only use one account to play the game!

 

🌲 Thank you all, and happy Twilight Carnival! 🌲

Free Gifts, Crafting, & Foraging!

Each week, all users will be able to grab one free Carnival Gift from Jackpot Planet with a chance at Astatine, Prestige, Orbits and more! Log in for the weekly turnover to claim your gift! Remember, if you forget to claim your gift before the weekly reset you will miss out! Gifts reset every Sunday at 7pm EST.

Each Gift Bag always contains:
Each Bag will also contain 1 of the following:

Crafting

The Crafting System and Blueprints make a return for this year's Twilight Carnival! Blueprints allow you to assemble your foraged items into bigger, better prizes using ARC Lab's MAKR Machine. In each basket you will find various items, such as limited-time Seasonal Produce, rarer gemstones, and everyone's favourite element: Astatine! Start crafting your baskets and see how luck rewards you!

Blueprints can be obtained for free in each weekly Carnival Gift.
A limited number of additional blueprints can be purchased in Jackpot Planet, and baskets themselves can be earned from certain prompts or even foraged!



❗️ Before you start crafting! ❗️

Some recipes take multiple ingredient varieties, such as any produce item. Please make sure you are using the items you wish to use before you click 'craft' so you do not lose out on an item you want to hold on to! The crafting system will automatically select random items for these multi-item ingredient recipes, so you must double check to make sure it selects the ones you want to use and deselect the ones you do not want to use. We know this is a bummer, but it is an issue with the UI of the LoreKeeper Crafting extension and is completely out of our control.
 
We strongly recommend transferring any items you do not want to use in crafting to the inventory of a character, either a Xero or a Boolew, if you can! This will keep the items safe.
 
❗️ We will not be able to restore items for those who use them mistakenly, so please be careful when crafting. ❗️

Returning Seasonal Fruit

Available all month in the Greenhouse and Jackpot Planet!

 
Hake Nut, Mult Fruit, Goodroop Berry, Spikul Fruit, Harvest Fairy, and Sugar Drop all make a return!

Users can purchase 1 of each fruit in the Greenhouse. Additional fruits can be won at Jackpot Planet or found in Baskets!

Free gifts, blueprints, seasonal produce, and the Twilight Path location will no longer be available after
Saturday, November 30th AT 11:59 PM EST / 8:59 PM PST

 

The rangers need your help!

The Rangers Corp. has requested a special team for an on-planet expedition to ensure the safe capture and release of a species native to Jurupa Forest called the Koronok. 

The Koronoks have suffered from unprecedented population decline over the last two cycles. Without a clear answer, things look dire. ARC Labs has agreed to help in finding the reason behind the decline and hopefully a solution to save the species so the Koronoks can be reintroduced. To help ensure the safe capture of many individuals, the Rangers Corp. is looking to recruit those with previous experience or interest in the following fields: animal handling, capture and release techniques, and familiarity with Jurupa's greater environment and ecology. 

 
Interested in helping out the Koronoks' cause?
Consider visiting your local Rangers recruitment office to submit your application today!
Thank you for your interest and assistance. Together we can ensure the survival of this unique species!

Build traps and bait through the Crafting tab to get a chance at capturing a Koronok. Koronoks come in 3 color variants and using different baits in a trap will boost the chances of getting certain variants! However, be prepared to encounter sick Koronoks! Sick Koronoks can be healed by administrating medicine to them. Healing sick Koronoks also comes with a bonus of earning their Index page!

You can learn more about crafting traps & bait and healing Koronoks by visiting the Koronok Turn-in Prompt!

 
See you out in Jurupa forest! We need all the help we can get!

 

Mushroom madness!

Failure is a part of learning.

It has come to ARC's attention that the outbreak of non-native fungal spores present in Harbor two cycles ago, assumed to be contained then, has in reality established a troublesome population in Jurupa Forest. The moderate year-round climate and heavy precipitation has made this an ideal location for their growth- but their establishment is disaster for the local Koronok population. 

Koronoks are primarily fungivores so it is imperative ARC collect specimens to learn more about these alien mushrooms and the similarities and differences between the invasive and native species and how they are effected. 

 
Every day, you can attempt to collect a mushroom by Foraging!

These mushrooms are necessary ingredients for creating medication to immunize the Koronoks against the invasive, poisonous fungi and they are of great interest to ARC's scientists for study. There are 9 fungi foragables in total; collect a set of all 9 by the end of the month and submit them to the Mushroom Turn-In Prompt!

Get out there and start foraging! The Koronoks' fate depends on it!

 

The Wild Indoors!

ARC is requesting tools to minimize stress for both lab staff and the Koronok patients alike.

Building enrichment, cooking food, and donating extra medicine to help care for the Koronoks in ARC's care ensures success. Koronoks are delicate and temperamental and the stress of being removed from their natural habitat can take a huge toll on their recovery. ARC knows bringing the familiarity of the woodland to their temporary enclosures at the lab will make the stay much easier. 

Similarly, having familiar fresh foods provided to the Koronoks seems to help improve their recovery times greatly. ARC has access to their favorite mushrooms but they are cultivated varieties, which lack critical mycorrhizal nutrients these mushrooms receive growing in the wild. Donations will help supplement a balanced pellet diet. 

Finally, ARC looks for volunteers who can afford to synthesize medicine. Vaccinating the captured population can help those that fall ill to fight through their sickness. Combating a bottleneck in the population would be difficult. So even if it doesn't cure them outright, it is important to prioritize stabilizing a large population to solidify genetic diversity.

You can use the Crafting tab to cook Koronok food, build a Log Nest, and synthesize Medicine to donate to ARC through the Enrichment Turn-In Prompt. Remember these items must be submitted together as a bundle to be eligible for rewards! 

Forgot how to craft something? Try checking your recipe book!

 

Fertilizer Frenzy!

An old friend, Tilly, steps up to run a donation drive !

Tilly, the ever-curious Korso, pokes her beak in to learn about the Koronok's Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release efforts. Perhaps because of her proclivity to chase excitement in life, she jumps at the opportunity to help out!

Tilly is calling for donations of Fertilizer and Premium fertilizer on ARC's behalf. They will need a lot of it as they plan to medicate it and spread it over a large testing area to hopefully eradicate all the invasive mushrooms, stopping the spread and retuning balance to the forest. This area will serve as a release site for the Koronok so they can be monitored to see the effectiveness of the vaccine and reestablish a stable breeding population.



Items needed for creating Fertilizer or Premium Fertilizer can be found through Foraging!
Once obtained, check the Crafting tab to create the required items needed for the Fertilizer Turn-In prompt.

 

Eww, dirt and poop again? Well, the Koronoks are cute enough to make all the work worth it in the end!


Event Prompts

Participating in these two limited-time prompts to gain Orbits, extra raffle tickets for our Mega Raffle, and other special prizes! 

Rescue, Rehabilitate, Release

In this prompt, draw or write about your Xero participating as a Ranger in the Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Release program.


How does your Xero interact with or observe the Koronoks? What is your Xero's task in helping with the program? How would they safely do so while being careful to not stress the animals? Do they bring special tools to assist them with this task? Clothing or gear?


Participating in this prompt awards 1 Twilight Carnival Badge, 3 Orbits, 1 Advanced Trap, 1 Seasonal Basket, and 10 tickets to our Mega Raffle!

Charity Donation Event

For those that are new here, every once and a while we like to get the community together to donate to a charity to help a cause out and get the community some special rewards to boot!

Did you know that black-footed ferrets were thought to be extinct until a small population of them was discovered in the early 1980s? The surviving population of just 18 animals were brought into captivity for a breeding program.

Every 10 USD donated to the charity gets you a Premium Produce item, as well as 1 Orbit! We are capping the donations to 30 USD a person! You may receive up to 3 items and 3 Orbits in total! You may donate more, but you will not receive any additional rewards!

Link to the prompt

Each prompt may only be submitted once per user!

These event prompts END on Saturday, November 30th AT 11:59 PM EST / 8:59 PM PST

The sights are one thing, but to most, the best part of the Twilight Carnival is the food. From all corners of AREZ space, people come and bring the tastes and smells of their homes, culminating in a huge street festival full of sharing and new experiences.

This year we are curious about foods from other planets... maybe even your home, Earth!

Lore questions


What are the Koronoks? Where do they live?

Koronoks are mammal-like noodly little vertebrates that spend their days hiding in small crevices and hollows in the giant trees of Jurupa forest. Their many limbs have dexterous paws for grasping branches and their extremely long tails helps them stay balanced, even when navigating the narrowest of twigs. Koronok emerge at night to feast on the bountiful native mushrooms found throughout the forest.

Size: 20-25 in / 50-64 cm


Who are the characters in the story? 
We follow Vio the Xero as our main character who is on a journey to help save the Koronoks, a species native to Owai-6's Jurupa region. Vio is joined by a lively cast of colorful aliens including the genetic scientist Xero D N/A, or Dee for short, Kellsworth the the Korso, a liaison for ARC Labs, Vas'an the Varrox, a survey coordinator at the Rangers Corp. and many more! Both new and old characters are present so keep an eye out for familiar names.
 
 
Does my participation impact the story? 
The story is preplanned, however minor differences will be present depending on player interaction over the month of Twilight Carnival!
 

 

Twilight Carnival 2022

Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 7 months ago by Frouzon


Time has forgotten who was first to propose the idea of The Twilight Carnival but one thing is certain: It’s the one event in AREZ you don’t wanna miss!
Taking place 30 days before the anniversary of the official beginning of the Alurizan Reserve, it is a celebration of many significant events: the traditional harvest season, a celebration of unity and coming together to be a greater collective.

To reflect this, a large component of the carnival revolves around getting together and sharing your culture with one another. Food, music, games, and more are all featured in a month long celebration of the differences that make us stronger and richer in life together. While each may have their own way of celebrating the holiday, the real place to be is the Capital City, where the largest Twilight Carnival is held. Decorated with the traditional carved lantern fruits and bringing in everything from street food vendors, to traditional craftsman and performers, its where you can see what the Alurizian people really have to show.
 
You might even treat yourself to some of the many games and festivities, maybe even win yourself some prizes of your own!

Event Activity Summary!

Calling All Volunteers!

As I'm sure you have heard by now, there has been an outbreak of non-native fungal spores in Harbor and the timing could not be worse. To help contain the outbreak, we're recruiting individuals with with previous experience or interest in the following fields: foraging, fungus identification, or mycology.

While the initial contamination has been contained, the existing fruits must be collected before they are allowed to produce more spores and succeed our containment capacities. Please report to the address below and await further instructions.

Thank you for your interest and assistance. Together we can ensure that this outbreak does not become a full-fledged spread of an invasive species!


Every day, you can attempt to collect a mushroom from our new site feature:
Foraging!

There are 12 new mushrooms in total; collect all 12 by the end of the month to gain a Twilight Carnival 2022 badge and 10 Raffle Tickets in our huge Twilight Carnival Mega Raffle! Please check out our Discord's Twilight Carnival section to trade your duplicate mushrooms and submit your completed collection for rewards.

Get out there and start foraging! We need all the help we can get!

 

NEW TRAITS!

Now what would be a special event month without some New Seasonal Produce? We have 2 that will be gracing us this Twilight Carnival!

All Xeros who currently have these traits will have them added automatically, but going forward MYO’s with these traits will require the items to make them possible! 

81-image.png

The Hake Nut allows a Xero to gain an Ornamental Tail! This is a fancy tail tip made of hard keratin or cartilage. It can be almost any shape, as long as it’s placed on the end of the tail!

80-image.png

And the Harvest Fairy! This seed allows a Xero to have a set of Frilled Ears! These ears have a grooved outer edge, giving them a jagged or wing-like appearance!  

Both new items can be purchased from ARC Lab, found in Autumn Produce Baskets, or foraged!

 

 
Mult Fruit, Goodroop Fruit, and Spikul Fruit are back as well!

They are available in limited quantities all month in the ARC Lab and Autumn Produce Baskets so make sure to stock up before they go out of season!

Jam Jamboree

It is a widespread custom during the Twilight Carnival to make home-cooked foods. It is said exchanging cultural food helps us all come together; food transcends even the most arduous of borders. Not all of us are fantastic cooks, however- so this simple jam recipe is popular among many Alurizan residents.

Follow along with our recipe (or any other recipe) and try your hand at making some jam for the Twilight Carnival!

Participating in this prompt awards 1 Astatine, 1 Twilight Carnival Badge, 1 Autumn Produce Basket, 1 Autumn Foraging Basket, and 1 ticket to our Mega Raffle!

The lantern fruits are carved, the sweetsaps spiced, and the evenings are crisp; it must be Carnival time!

The question this time is: how do YOU celebrate it? We are ever so curious about what traditions you have taken up or what new Xero experiences you have to share and make Aluriza that much more vibrant!

New Quest Enters Rotation!

Posted 8 months ago :: Last edited 8 months ago by Frouzon

 

A New Quest enters rotation!

Have you looked into your local Alurizan recycling pickup schedule?
Now is a good time to do some research on how to turn litter into recycling. It's easy!
Once you've collect enough litter (minimum x5) you'll be able to navigate to the Crafting tab to turn litter into recycling

     


It looks like recycling pick-ups are scheduled to happen ever 2nd, 3rd and 4th SUNDAY of each month.  Aluriza's recycling efforts are efficient in reclaiming waste into useful materials once more, but demand for certain recyclables drives prices up and down. Each time you turn in Recycling to Neo's Quest: Recycling Day, the sales price will change. Choosing to wait for a high sales price may be best... but if you're short on Prestige, any of Neo's prices will be better than the standard rate!
 

Big thank you to JollyMutt for the item art!

 

Meet Neo!


Neo is one of the many Recycling Officers of Owai-6!

Neo's job is to collect recyclables from citizens every 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sunday of each month. The Recycling Centers around Owai-6 are subsidized through each respective municipality. They look to provide Alurizan citizens with a fair buy-back program, encouraging awareness about proper waste management. Neo is very passionate about their work so it's best to keep things brief unless you're ready for an earful about the entire history of Recycling innovations!

Neo's key art is by  Frouzon!

Lost Items Now Openable!

Posted 9 months ago :: Last edited 9 months ago by NeonSlushie
Update on lost Items!


Lost items can now be opened for a chance at big rewards!

Lost items, found through foraging, can now be opened. Each lost item has a unique drop table filled with some very tempting goodies- but opening others' property is considered poor taste! You may be better off waiting for a turn-in Quest to appear; completing turn-in Quests ensures you'll always be well rewarded for your honesty.


New Item!


Don't let this opportunity go to waste!

While foraging, you may stumble across litter about on Owai-6. It's every Alurizan's responsibility to maintain a safe and healthy environment, and that includes cleaning up after yourself and others. Don't turn a blind eye to things out of place. Pick it up and recycle it!

It looks like recycling pickups are scheduled to happen 3 times a month starting September 2024. More news about that feature will be coming soon!

New Crafting Recipes

This event brings new blueprints called "Recipes" to the Crafting System!

Four new Recipes allow you to combine items into ingredients for use in making food dishes.
Recipes can be obtained for free in this event's limited time Prompts.  Additional blueprints can be purchased in Jackpot Planet.

You can earn these Recipes through Prompts:
You can buy these Recipes with Prestige:

 

New Ingredient Items!

It's time to get cooking with new ingredient items!

Combining Produce and Forageable items using ARC Lab's MAKR machine lets you make food dishes! Each ingredient item has a unique recipe, so be sure to pay close attention when crafting! Lucky for you, Ziggy has kindly provided you with a somewhat eccentrically written grocery list so you are not shopping blind. 

Recipes for Milk, Sugar, Flour and the Ru Berry Cupcakes will no longer be available after JULY 21st AT 11:59 PM EST / 8:59 PM PST

Zae'Ka Steppes
The ancestral homeland of the Korso, the Zae'Ka Steppes remain a lush and fertile ecosystem, a testament to their respect for their environment. Across the rolling hills and lush tree belts, the Zae'Ka region supports some of the greatest biodiversity of large animal species on all of Owai-6!

An amazing variety of fruits and other plants are produced across the temperate grassland farms of Zae'Ka. This diversity of edibles naturally leads to a diversity of cuisine, luring cultivators from all across AREZ to sample the famous Korso fruit pies! Alongside agricultural pursuits, the open plains have long been utilized as an effective, sustainable energy source via large wind farms and cultivation of numerous ethical biofuels.

 

Big thank you to Jollymutt for this location's item art!

Zae'ka Steppes brings many new items for your Xeros to collect and promises new uses in future Quests and Crafting! Discover its hidden treasures through Foraging!
