Camp Western!
Dreaming of a summer at the Ranch? Welcome to Camp Western! Gather your friends and meet Josh outside of your home stables to travel to Starshine Ranch to learn all about ranch life at Camp Western for the next three weeks. Lisa, Carl, Gary, and Josh will show you all around the campgrounds your first week there to introduce you to different activities around Camp Western. Earn Summer Tokens, Player XP, Jorvik Shillings, and other unique rewards for completing these intro quests. Visit the Camp Western shop and Camp Western Token shop to see the sets and items available starting this week until the Summer Festival ends with our Wednesday update on June 5th!
Daily Chores
The new daily chores at the ranch ain’t easy. Complete daily chores around Camp Western at Starshine Ranch or out in the wilderness to help out your fellow Jorvegians. You can find these tasks on the chore board in return for daily rewards upon completion.
Rare Daily Events
These rare events are activities that you can experience while exploring the wilderness. They aren’t super common so keep an eye out!
Renegade Chests
Each day, there are 5 chests that can be found in the wilderness. Requiring a renegade key to open, they will reward the player with tokens, gold nuggets, and a collectible! Once you find this chest, it will stay opened in the location you found it, and will reset where you can find it the next day. Every player has the same locations, so help each other out in the Global Chat which has been extended to all of Firgrove!
Herding the Horses
Some stubborn horses have wandered from the Ranch and into the wilderness. By giving them a Herding Lure they will follow you, and you’ll receive a reward by bringing them back to the Ranch. Each day, there are 4 horses that are able to be herded back to the Ranch.
Beasts
At Camp Western, you can choose to brave the wilderness around the ranch for treasures and rewards of all kinds! Wolves and Bears are out in number this summer and they pose a threat to careless players who wander into the woods. Additionally, near the ranch is a rather mean bull who is determined to keep the flock safe, even if that means chasing you off sometimes. These beasts are on patrol around the ranch and may hunt and chase you if they’re able to get close enough. You can combat this by running away, being covered in manure, or having a repellent in your inventory to automatically use if a beast gets too close. If a beast catches you, you will return back to Starshine Ranch.
Gold Mining
A skill based minigame swinging your pickaxe to mine and collect Gold Nuggets from Nodes. The Gold Nodes have a streak system. If you successfully time the green area several times in a row, the released Gold Nuggets upon a hit will be increased for each successful swing. However, if there’s a miss, the streak will reset. Happy mining around Camp Western!
Collectable Consumables
A few useful items are laying around Starshine Ranch. FInd them while exploring the wilderness! Learn more about these items below, or in the introduction quests at Camp Western.
Gold Nuggets - This is another kind of token currency that you can collect all over the area outside the ranch! You can find individual nuggets, but you can also obtain these from gold veins that require a small skill-based timing minigame to maximize the number of nuggets rewarded. The last way to obtain nuggets is by opening one of the five Renegade Chests that are available each day. Gold Nuggets can be exchanged for Western Lures, Beast Repellent, and Renegade Keys, ten daily max Summer Tokens, and two chicken pets!
Western Lure — is a special snack that can be fed to the lost horses to lure them back to the ranch! There are five of these lost horses each day! Returning them to the ranch rewards Summer Tokens.
Beast Repellent — This acts as an extra life to protect you against beasts around Starshine Ranch! These beasts include Wolves, Bears, and Bulls! When the animal approaches a little too closely, if you’re holding a repellent, it will automatically be used. Otherwise, you will be caught, Gold Nuggets will be dropped, and you will be sent back to Starshine Ranch.
Renegade Keys —Keys are used to open a Renegade Chest as described above! Chests contain Summer Tokens, gold nuggets and either a Lure, Repellent, or Key.
Lures, Repellents, and Keys can be obtained in exchange for Gold Nuggets, found in the Wilderness, or rewarded from Chores and Chests!
Coming NEXT WEEK!
