    Few questions:

    How rare are these animals going to be? Is it going to be 100 tamers sitting around waiting for hours to find one bull or sheep? Difficultly level there is going to increase since PKs are sure to camp these spots.

    Going to see any new resources with these animals? white leather and some weird black cloth would be cool.

    Is there going to be any chance of statues with these new animals / monsters? A gilded dragon statue would be sweet

    In the event itself, I see there are monsters there that have been known to drop plat and statues. Will those monsters still have the same chance to drop said items, a better chance, or no chance at all?

    Are there going to be any rare items inside the event?

    Reading is super cool.

    There will be a spawning rare in the event, as indicated in the OP quite clearly.

    I'm pretty sure the mobs will spawn randomly where their normal spawn variant is. If people are camping any spawn trying to find them, so what? PKs don't actually 'camp', in case you hadn't noticed. They all roll in tour groups hitting hotspots. If they add sheep pens and Hopper's Bog to the rotation ummm, so what? lol


    Please no on white leather and black wool.

    I'm inclined to think there might be room for a special cloth hue spawn in some other capacity. However, I think that providing any incentive to keep these mobs for anything other than their intended purpose, is a detriment to the system itself.

    My original response was going to be some sarcastic remark about a bonded black sheep farm.


    I would like to see some 'grey' sheep added to the sheep spawns as well, just to mix it up a bit.

    I'm pretty sure it will be, which is pretty cool.

    The animals are sufficiently rare, and unlike boss monsters they are not tied to the spot. It is a worldwide chance for one of them to spawn. So anywhere you find cows, has a chance to spawn a mad cow.

    The animals are just rare variants of the standard ones, they do not provide any odd items, colored leather etc.

    During the event yes we have created a variety of new monsters each with platinum/rare item drop chances. The compendium will be updated to reflect this.

    There will be minimally one rare spawn in the event, possibly two. Following similar mechanics to how rare spawns work in Ancient MIB's

    It will be, however it is just a frenzied ostard with a new name, and a static hue.

    When players turn in the animals they find, they are moved into the zoo automatically, however they will not spawn naturally in the zoo.

    I would recommend 9 or more friends come along for the event to make sure you can defeat it. It was designed to be near impossible for 2 players, moderately hard for 5. And fairly difficult for 10.

    Awesome update! When these new animals are moved to the zoo will they be replacing the old ones, or simply join them in their respective pens? Or can we look forward to a larger zoo with these new additions?
