Age Perks
Today’s dev blog introduces WolfQuest’s newest feature: Age Perks!
Instead of a standard XP system, we designed Age Perks to give players the option to experience the life of a wolf in a more naturalistic way. You start as a two year old wolf, bursting with vim and vigor, and can now progress through the years to become an elder wolf, gaining wisdom and insight into the ways of the world. The Age Perks system offers a selection of physical, clout, and wisdom bonuses for each year of your wolf's life.

Once a year, you will have the option to advance your wolf in age by one year and select from a new set of perks. On your birthday (in April, just before your pups are born) you will be presented with the Age Perks menu, where you can view all of the Age Perks available at each age. You can select up to three new Age Perks if you wish to advance to the next age. This choice only presents itself once per year, so be sure to think carefully about your decision.
You are not required to advance in age. If you fear the effects of age, you can remain as a two-year-old wolf, or even a three- or four-year-old wolf, for as long as you like. But, if you choose to advance in age, it is a permanent commitment. Wolves cannot grow younger, after all.
Age Perks are coming soon in v1.0.7, along with Ironwolf and beavers:
IRONWOLF: . In the real world, wolves are one false move or unlucky kick away from death. In WolfQuest, you too can live life on the edge by choosing Ironwolf mode when creating a wolf. This is a hardcore mode for players who really want to live the life of a wild wolf. See last week’s video to learn more: Ironwolf https://youtu.be/zWJnK_ogjrM
BEAVERS: Beavers will finally be getting busy in WolfQuest! Look for beavers and their dams and lodges in watery place. Try your skill and patience with ambush hunting, a completely different way to catch prey.
