Ferus Approaching!Just as we mentioned in March's event news, we're posting a dedicated news post to explain how Primal (Ferus) works!It is uniquely introduced by the Anti-Poaching event, and its lore is tied closely to March. Once Tier 2 is unlocked, a rare encounter will appear in Explore. The encounter chance will be raised once Tier 3 is unlocked! This special breeding item can only be given to adult female lionesses that are not mutated and are of breeding age - this means she cannot be any younger than 2 years, cannot be any older than 14 years, and cannot already be mutated. Once given to the female, she will refuse to breed during the day, as the ancient spirits must be present during the breeding. This can only happen at night! With this special circumstance in mind, once the lioness is bred, one Primal (Ferus) cub will be guaranteed in her next litter. It does not matter if the stud has a mutation or not during a Mukombero breeding. How It Works This effect will come into play at the very end of a bred litter. Mukombero guarantees one Primal (Ferus) cub, no more and no less, so it will overwrite one of the lioness's cubs, no matter what other items are used. This includes GMO Cows and all other mutation items. For example, if the breeding results in more than one cub being born, and you use mutation items, it's possible that there will be another mutation born in the same litter; however, using Mukombero, you will never receive more than one Primal (Ferus). This is a great opportunity for you to plan breedings and select your Ferus's parents with desired bases and markings! The Ferus, if made king, has a battle boost against primates. This is tied into its lore, as it was spawned into this world to seek revenge against the poachers. We're very excited about this feature! Natural Breeding Mechanics * Both male and female Ferus lions have a chance to pass on Primal (Ferus) on their own, as well as any other primal variations. The chance for this is low. * If a stud is given a Pennyroyal, and both parents are Ferus, the chance of Ferus passing is higher than usual. If only one parent is Ferus, this boost will not trigger. * Other variations cannot spawn a Ferus via normal breeding. Ferus is only introduced into the population via Mukombero. Ferus Lore Summary The Primal (Ferus) is a new type of Primal variation. It is a very beastly and primeval creature restored into lion populations by the most ancient ancestors of big cats to avenge all animals killed by poachers. Their size is not that impressive, but their skills in defeating primates are exceptional. Both males and females are equally fierce and do not have anatomical differences aside from a scarce mane and cheek fluff visible on males. We'd like to present you all with a more polished size chart of all Primal variants compared to normal lions and human size - it is clickable if you want a large size. Ferus is a Latin word describing something untamed, fierce, and wild. We found it quite fitting to this Primal variation! For Custom Decor artists, here's a .psd - also shared in Art Tutorial thread: Ferus 3,6Mb EDIT: Player questions we caught so far: Q: Is Mukombero limited to 1 per account? A: No! You can have as many as you want, and get multiple encounters if you're lucky. Q: Is it usable outside of the event? A: Yes! It's just obtainable during March. Q: Is the Mukombero breeding done in real life night? A: No no. Lioden seasonal night time, visible on the side menu! :D Q: Is the encounter only available at night? A: No, you can get it anytime, in any zone! 8 players like this post! Like? Edited on 10/03/19 @ 13:46:41 by Xylax (#4) |

So I used a Pennyroyal in a breeding with a Ferus, and got a Ferus cub who is now my king. I’m going to assume that the low chance for Ferus to pass triggered, rather than the Pennyroyal being glitched? 0 players like this post! Like? |

Question - when exactly does Ferus roll? Since usually Primals roll last, but Ferus seems to work differently. I just want to know if Ferus studs are safe to use with Tigon ladies. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Question! If a normal lioness were to breed to a Ferus stud, would there be a chance (however slim) that a cub could be born a Ferus, just like how a normal lioness has a chance of having a Primal cub (of any kind) if bred to a Smilus, Felis, or original Primal stud? Or would the lioness have to be a Primal herself of some sort, or be fed something to boost the chances? 0 players like this post! Like? |

@ Amariit: YES, a Ferus stud *can* pass the mutation when bred to a non-Ferus female. A Ferus female *can* pass the mutation when bred to a non-Ferus stud. The chance is better if both parents are Ferus and you use Pennyroyal. The post says: Natural Breeding Mechanics * Both male and female Ferus lions have a chance to pass on Primal (Ferus) on their own, as well as any other primal variations. The chance for this is low. * If a stud is given a Pennyroyal, and both parents are Ferus, the chance of Ferus passing is higher than usual. If only one parent is Ferus, this boost will not trigger. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Thank you for the clarification; my friends & I weren't sure, as a normal lion(ess) wasn't mentioned (directly) in this equation, just the Ferus factor itself. 0 players like this post! Like? |

The supposed tier 3 boost for Ferus encounter doesnt seem to be active?.. Judging by the item count, mukombero is not being found any faster than it was during tier 2 (slower than it was even, Id say)! Could admins check the mukombero statistics and confirm the boost actually does anything? Or is it bugged and not really boosting the chance of finding that elusive shaman? Id be really upset to have spent my 2 full meat pies and 5 energy boosts for nothing.(( 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 16/03/19 @ 06:55:03 by Mad Hyena (#29080) |

@Mad Hyena - the item count may be staying the same, because people are using them when they find them... are you also tracking the number of actual Ferus in the game? (There may be many pregnant lionesses carrying Ferus babies that don't count yet, too.) 0 players like this post! Like? |

That is why Im asking for admins to check the found item numbers muttduck. I can only judge by the item count in catalogue, but admins can see the actual amount of items consequently found day-by-day. The first day Ferus was out 7 Mukombero was found just when I checked, and several already created. So from the looks of things the boost doesnt do anything to speed up/affect the number of Mukombero/feruses appearing in game. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I've been wondering about this too, honestly. The tier 3 boost seems very abysmally small so far. I was expecting a more notable boost, myself, considering these are the herbs we'll have to make do with until next March. Personally I'm not expecting to find anything anymore, having used give or take 50 energy boosts so far.. I'm pretty sure the tigon boost was more common than this. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Yeah Kich, that's my concern as well - the supposed "boost" didnt really boost anything, if it's that microsmall of a boost... why was it even worth mentioning? Im feeling it's bugged and doesnt actually apply the boost, it happens with new features sometimes that they dont unlock automatically along with the tier. Would really like admins to check it up and confirm if the boost is actually working. 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 16/03/19 @ 07:17:17 by Mad Hyena (#29080) |

@Mad Hyena, you aren't the only person who has spent a lot of GB and expensive items on trying to find this item. I've spent a total of nearly 70GB. I would've been better off saving my GB for a tigon. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Exactly. They did say it would be a 'slight' boost, but.. If as slight as it's looking, why indeed mention it at all and get our hopes up? I was so hyped for this thing, but I've honestly lost all hope by now. I never found the interstellar or solaris apps myself either, no matter how hard I tried, you know? 0 players like this post!
