A cheerful BARK from the Dog! This update changes how Loose Fugitives work (Now called Fugitive NPCs), adds a larger, more powerful Fugitive NPC, adds Emoji to Chat Bot messages, and other smaller changes.
Feature: Fugitive NPCs
Removed: Fugitive NPCs will no longer spawn randomly
Added NPC: Fugitive I
- Health: 1
- (When Health goes to 0, the Fugitive will be defeated)
- Power: Kick 1
- (This is the number of armor removed / kick stacks added per Kick)
- This NPC’s kicks also reduce Kick Immunity duration by 1 second.
- Has a chance to drop an item on defeat.
Added NPC: Fugitive II
- Health: 3
- Power: Kick 3
- This NPC’s kicks also reduce Kick Immunity duration by 1 second.

Feature: Fugitive Raids
Fugitive NPCs spawn naturally in new events called Fugitive Raids.
- Fugitive Raids unlock once Great Bone V has been achieved.
- Fugitive Raids occur on a timer that can range from 5 to 15 minutes.
- The timer is visible at all times.
- As soon as a Fugitive Raid starts, the next event begins counting down.
Items
- The chance of finding higher Tier items has been reduced significantly.

- Shows your Hero Level, Title, and Leaderboard Rank.
- Shows the Points required to achieve the next Hero Level.
- Shows the Friendship Bonuses added by Hero Level.

- Lifetime Gold is now a tracked statistic for all players, and will display in the stats command.
Game Balance
- The minimum dog leave time has been increased to 30 seconds, from 10 seconds.
- In the world of stream delays, 10 seconds was essentially instant.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the item command would trigger if ‘item’ was in any part of your sentence.
- Item code font should display properly now (It was being cut off before)
- Fixed an issue where the feedback for dug up items would change facing with the character it was attached to.
- Fixed an issue where the incorrect number of Friendship added could be displayed in game after a pet.
