The Thanksgiving patch is scheduled to go live on November 20th at 12 am (PDT).

Let’s take a look at what we prepared for you this year!



[h2]Thanksgiving Banquet[/h2]
Place six different Thanksgiving dishes on the Thanksgiving Dining Table, and then press E to enjoy the treat and be rewarded with the Thanksgiving Buff. Placing Roasted Turkey right at the center of the Thanksgiving Dining Table will bring something special to Explorers.

[h2]Pardoned Turkey Event[/h2]
In the Noviceland biome, Explorers may find wild Turkeys locked in cages. Players will need to break the cage to free the Turkeys, which will drop Turkey eggs that provide rewards. While freeing the caged Turkeys, explorers have a 10% chance of running into special Pardoned Turkey. Killing the Pardoned Turkey will drop the event item “Turkey Feather,” which can be used to summon Dodorex.

*Pardoned Turkeys have a relatively high HP, and will run away even if they are under attack.




[h2]Dodorex[/h2]
In the world of Pixark, even the weakest and humblest beings have dreams of becoming something stronger. And the Dodo, who is bullied by everyone, may become an existence to be feared by everyone. Legend has it that some dodos with exceptional talent were blessed by the ancestors of the dodo family and evolved into the most powerful Dodorex. Of course the legend is just a legend, in fact, people believe that Dodorex may be the descendants of Tyrannosaurus rex genetically modified by aliens. The biggest basis for this idea is that people have not yet found evidence of the existence of wild Dodorex.

-Upon collecting a certain amount of Turkey Feathers, explorers can use them to summon either a Dodorex(Limited-time) or a Dodorex (Permanent) at a cooking pot.

-Tamed Dodorex can bite (LMB) and shoot flames (RMB)
