Game Update
The Path of Terra
Hey, Starfam! Calling all cottage core fanatics, gardening has arrived in Hollow Woods!
A new progression path in Hollow Woods
Now that you are experts in the Path of Whimsy and the Path of Runeology, a new path has emerged! The Path of Terra lets you craft, create, and grow to your heart’s content.
To start, explore the woods and collect seeds. Then relax in your garden and start cultivating! The plants can be used to craft consumables, and acquire special sets and items. You can even craft something that will make your wardrobe available from anywhere on Jorvik!
Also, keep an eye out while you’re in the forest, where you might encounter a magical friend or two!
General Updates
Cuddle your horses extra today! We’ve added more horse sound variations, to bring more life to your interactions.
It is now easier when playing SSO on mobile to scroll in the Global Shop.
We’ve also polished the new onboarding quests, to make it easier for new players to complete!
We added more settings to the main menu. You can now change brightness, contrast and saturation. These settings will stay when you go into photo mode and in between sessions. You’ll also notice that the whole settings window has a visual upgrade!
Retirement Alert!
The next horses to leave us for greener pastures are the Generation 1 Friesian and Friesian Sport Horse. During the Wednesday update on March 27th, they will leave Jorvik and not be available for purchase from then on. Find them at Ferdinand's Horse Market before they receive their well-earned retirement! You will be able to purchase them for 300 Star Coins.
While we love each and every one of our old horses, we sometimes need to make changes to ensure the game can run at the best possible performance. One of these changes will be to slowly phase out our very oldest horses.
If you already have purchased these horses, no need to worry! The horses will stay unchanged in your safe ownership. Please note that they will not be further supported with bug fixes, updates, or new tack.
Coming NEXT WEEK!
Race around Hollow Woods in the pursuit of fireflies!
Have a lovely week,
