Natures Bounty Part 3
Posted 8 months ago :: Last edited 8 months ago by pastelpastelThe final chapter of Nature’s Bounty has finally been released! Slightly delayed due to installing a new method of story telling. You can check out the new chapter here! Please read the entire thing before checking out the new prompts! These prompts contain spoilers for Chapter 3! There is one seasonal prompt which gives players a special reward and one event prompt which will give players more seeds for the event shop!

In addition to the new lore, please remember that we also have Guest Artist applications open until this Sunday, March 24th! Applications will close at 8:00 p.m. est.
After having conducted a poll in our discord, our sales will be changing a little bit! Instead of doing flatsales where the moos go to the first person to comment on them, we will be switching to flatsale raffles! These will be free to enter and will stay open for 24 hours from the posting. The raffle will be rolled on discord and the winners will be contacted with an invoice for the characters they entered and won! You may only enter for one character per flaffle!
Thank you for your continued support and I hope you look forward to our new GA’s!

End of February Event + Patreon Update/Move
Posted 9 months ago :: Last edited 9 months ago by pastelpastelAs February comes to an end, so does Spring's Eve. All prompts and options to earn chocolate will close down February 29 at 11:59 p.m., EST. The Spring's Eve shop will stay open for a week afterwards, letting people spend their leftover chocolate after that it will be shut down and any unused chocolates will disappear. Make sure you use them! However, the raffle will be rolled on March 1st! Be sure to buy your tickets before maintenance!
Seasonal Potions in the Greedy Cauldron will also be changing, so if you want a Bioluminescent or Gemstone potion, this is your last chance till next winter!

March will begin with a fun new event! Stay tuned for more.
Patreon Update/Move
In addition to updates to the website, we are also updating our patreon due to billing schedule issues we ran into. The old patreon has been shut down so no one will be charged through there in the future. The new patreon will launch on March 1st! And as a thank you for those who go through the hassle of switching to the new one, all tiers will receive a 3 star pet capsule if you sign up in March.
Thank you so much for your support! It means a lot to us! <3

The Familiars Update
Posted 9 months ago :: Last edited 9 months ago by pastelpastelA new face is in town, a Pheromoo by the name of Rune. After the financial success of the capsule machine he left at the train station, he’s decided to move to town and set up shop. Overnight, as if like magic, Lucky Familiars set up shop and opened its doors to the public. Inside you’ll find not one, not two, but three different capsule machines. All of them cost varying amounts and drop different types of capsules.
Not only are there new capsules, there are also more familiars to get now! After being able to set down some roots, Rune was able to summon Sad Dragons to be added to the pool. Rates of previous pets have been adjusted. There are also new varieties of Kobons, Capypacks, and Mini moos! All three of those have had two uncommon variations added and one rare one. Sad Dragons will have new rarities introduced in a later update, for now have fun collecting all of their commons!
Capsule Drop Rates:
1 Star Capsules - 75% Common, 20% Uncommon, 5% Rare
2 Star Capsules - 30% Common, 50% Uncommon, 20% Rare
3 Star Capsules - 55% Uncommon, 45% Rare
Have fun collecting more and more familiars and if you run a little low on moonies, be sure to check out Rune’s new NPC prompts too!

NPC Preview + Site Maintenance
Posted 9 months ago :: Last edited 9 months ago by pastelpastelA new NPC is coming to Bovine Bluffs...find out more on February 19th!
To add the new NPC and some other site features, Pheromoos.com will be down for Maintenance at 1pm EST on Monday, Feb 19. It shouldn’t take long.
Security & Moonie Adjustments
Posted 9 months ago :: Last edited 9 months ago by pastelpastelRecently, Pheromoos has been facing a bot problem. Upwards of ten bot accounts were being made on the website per day. We finally were able to get a captcha system in place to help mitigate this. It should only affect the Registration page for new accounts, but if you run into any issues please let us know!
Included in this unscheduled update is also an adjustment for our rewards systems. We’ve changed some of the requirements on some of our permanent prompts along with increasing some of the art rewards you would get normally. We’re doing this in an effort to be more consistent in requirements across written works and art!
To keep things fair, in our minds, we have not changed the monthly prompt or the current event prompt requirements. Since others have already completed these prompts we will keep these the same for this month and next month’s monthly prompt and event prompts will reflect our new adjustments.
Moonie Reward Adjustments:
- Bust 5 to 10
- Half 10 to 20
- Full 20 to 30
- Chibi 10 to 15
- NPC/Gift Bonus 5 to 15

Spring's Eve Event
Posted 9 months ago :: Last edited 9 months ago by pastelpastelThe worst of the winter is over, snow is beginning to melt away all over Verdan. In its place, nature is starting to wake up from its slumber. One more month of winter before the environment starts to flourish. This time of transition is important to Pheromoos the world over, but especially in Bovine Bluffs. It’s the start of the Spring’s Eve Festival!
The Spring’s Eve Festival was a celebration that marked the end of Winter and welcomed Spring to Verdan, but over time it has become a festival that celebrates love in all of its forms: platonic, romantic, and physical. There are plenty of ways to celebrate Spring’s Eve! The most common is an exchange of gifts: usually homemade or store-bought chocolates. Friends usually exchange small boxes with 4-5 pieces of chocolate in them, but lovers would exchange much larger boxes of chocolate. Plenty of moos take the opportunity to confess during Spring’s Eve and many new relationships are formed every year! Friends and lovers also tend to exchange thoughtful, hand-crafted cards with a short message of appreciation inside of them.
Let Reece and Briar tell you about Spring’s Eve! Start the event here.
(Note: We did our best, but neither of us are professional coders. The lore events are not optimized for mobile, unfortunately, and are best viewed on desktop.)
Monthly Currency, Daily Check-in, & Limited Prompts
For the month of February there is a limited currency: Chocolate! These can be obtained through the Daily Check-In and Limited Prompts.
Event Shop
Checkout the Spring’s Eve Market to spend your chocolates!
Buy Briar or Reece’s box of chocolates to unlock a special story and spicy artwork of them.
Raffle
We have a Pheromoo up for raffle! Raffle tickets can be bought in the Event Shop for 1 Chocolate each! Be sure to use the item once it’s added to your inventory to be entered in the drawing!
Thank you for being part of Pheromoos and taking part in our very first ever seasonal event! Stay tuned for more updates and sales and check out our patreon if you want sneak peeks!

Pets & DMs Announcement
Posted 10 months ago :: Last edited 10 months ago by pastelpastelHi everyone! We’re excited to show off two new features for you today to give you a little more to do in Verdan and help other people in the community connect! But first…
A mysterious moo has been spotted talking to our darling Reece recently…He was seen carrying something heavy towards the train station, but when he left there was only a blanket under his arm. Who is this mysterious moo? And where did he go? No one could really say, but Reece was excited to share some news.
The mysterious moo left behind this odd little contraption called a capsule machine at the train station. Reece said they were assured it was entirely safe to use and saw no issue with it being here. On the front was a sticker that said “Fantastical Familiars” along with three images of the cutest little creatures imaginable. Which familiar will be your first? Maybe the Kobon? Or the Capypack? Or maybe the adorable Minimoo?
Pets: Try your luck at the familiars gacha to claim one of these cute pets! Each come in 5 different colors, will you try to collect them all? Or maybe you’ll try for that perfect one to attach to your moo! With the introduction of pets, we will also be adjusting Briar’s wheel! Instead of a potion having a chance to drop, you will now have chances for a pet capsule to drop!
DMs: With so many people joining the website and how we want to conduct auctions and flatsales in the future, direct messages are a necessity. We assumed it was part of lorekeeper already but, apparently not! Hopefully it will help our community feel more connected! And if you’re looking to connect more with other members of the community, be sure to join our Discord too.
As always when we push out new patches, please be patient with bugs or mistakes and please do report them if you run into any of them! You can submit bug reports on the website (By going to Submit > Report) or by sharing it in the discord in our bug-reports channel!
Thank you all so much for such a fun launch and we’re looking forward to many more updates to come!
