Changes: Year of the Pig King

Revision as of 21:44, 8 February 2019

This article is incomplete because of the evil sabotage by Maxwell....
Please help to improve the article, or discuss the issue with the community on the comment section.

Year of the Pig King is an event in Don't Starve Together that began on January 24th, 2019. It is inspired by the Chinese Year of the Pig, which starts from February 5th, 2019, and ends on January 24th, 2020. In the Chinese zodiac, each year is related to an animal in a 12-year cycle.

It is similar to the Year of the Gobbler and the Year of the Varg events, which came in the years before, and shares mechanics with them, such as the Offerings crafting tab, and most craftable items from those events. However, there are several additions and differences implemented into this event, especially concerning the obtainment of Lucky Gold Nuggets. Spring Chests have a chance of dropping in place of Classy items as part of the weekly skin drops.

During the Year of the Pig King event, the Pig King Hat Skin is given to players upon opening the game.

–Webber

The Pig Shrine is a craftable Structure located in the Structures Tab, and requires 8 Gold Nuggets and 2 Boards to craft. It is always available to craft and does not require prototyping. Offering a Meat or Jerky to the Pig Shrine will grant players access to the Offerings Tab where they are able to acquire event-specific items using Lucky Gold Nuggets.

Code
`"redpouch_yotp"`

“Gold's gold as far as I'm concerned.”

–Maxwell, when examining a Lucky Gold Nugget.

Lucky Gold Nuggets are used to acquire items from the Offerings Tab and can be obtained from Red Pouches dropped by the Pig King after completing the ritual.

Golden Belt

“This looks important.”

–Wilson

The Golden Belt is used to initiate the Pig King ritual. It has a 50% chance to spawn on a Pig during the event, and a 5% chance to spawn outside the event. The Pig will drop the belt if it is either killed or fed enough to reach maximum loyalty. An easy method of obtaining the Golden Belt is to feed the pig an Eight Treasure Mud Pie. After a Pig exits the Pig House in the morning, it can regain the Golden Belt with the same probability as mentioned above. This makes it less efficient to farm the Golden Belt with Pig genocide, as it will have a four days respawn cooldown. The belt can only be given to the Pig King during the day or at least two minutes before sunset.

Pig King minigame

The Pig King minigame is the only method of obtaining Lucky Gold Nuggets in the event. It can be initiated by giving the Pig King a Golden Belt, however there are some conditions for the minigame to start.

The Pig King must be awake.
There must be more than two minutes until nighttime.
The area around the Pig King must be free of structures, objects and minigame items.
It must not be Hound warning phase.
The player must not be smoldering or burning.
Nothing around the Pig King must have a combat target.
There must not be a minigame underway.

If all of the conditions above are met, the minigame will start. There will spawn four Elite Pigs, and all the Obelisks will be temporarily be removed. The minigame consists of ten waves, lasting six seconds each. During each wave, the Pig King will throw out Lucky Gold Nuggets and signs. The Pigs will pick up the coins and try to smack the contenders with the signs. If a player or Pig is hit with a sign, they will drop a Lucky Gold Nugget from their inventory, unless they are holding a sign, in which they will drop that instead. The goal of the minigame is to pick up and retain as many Lucky Gold Nuggets as possible. The Pig King will award the player with additional Lucky Gold Nuggets based on the percentage of the Lucky Gold Nuggets the player(s) picked up.

Amount of Lucky Gold Nuggets picked up	Pig King reward
Above 60%	8 Lucky Gold Nuggets
Above 30%	4 Lucky Gold Nuggets
Above 10%	2 Lucky Gold Nuggets
Above 0%	1 Lucky Gold Nugget

Some creatures will start to spectate if they are close enough.

Abigail
Bunnymen
Chester
Hutch
Lavae
Mandrakes
Merms
Gobblers
Pigs
Small/Teen Birds
Mactusk
Wee Mactusk

It is not possible to trade with the Pig King or build anything around the Pig King during the game. Periodic Hound attacks are paused during the minigame.

Offerings Tab

“It wants to give us presents!”

–Webber

The following items can be obtained from the Offerings Tab when standing next to an activated Pig Shrine, each of them having a different function. Similar to the Ancient Tab and the Ancient Pseudoscience Station, these items cannot be prototyped and then made on the go in the future; in order to craft an item under this tab, the player must always be near a Pig Shrine.

–Wickerbottom

Three Firecrackers can be acquired in exchange for 1 Lucky Gold Nugget at the Pig Shrine. They can be set on fire with a Torch or Lighter to produce sparkles, and will be destroyed in the process. When set off, nearby Mobs such as Hounds will be startled and cower in fear, giving the Firecrackers a use apart from the festivities.

Eight Treasure Mud Pie can be acquired at the Pig Shrine in exchange for 1 Lucky Gold Nugget. It is a food item, and has the exact same calorie value as the Meaty Stew, however it is not edible for characters. Similar to the Eternal Fruitcake, it can only be given to other creatures. If it is given to a Pig wearing a Golden Belt, it will drop on the ground for the player to pick up.

“The head öf a great and merciful beast!”

–Wigfrid, when examining a Lucky Beast Head.

The three costume pieces of the Lucky Beast are hats and can be obtained in exchange for 8 Lucky Gold Nuggets each at the Pig Shrine.

While they are worn as hats, the "/dance" emote will be replaced with a different dancing animation. If the player simultaneously wears a costume piece and dances, a Sanity bonus equal to that of the Tam o' Shanter (+6.7 per minute) will be applied to the character. This bonus is increased if there are more players participating in the vicinity (wearing a costume piece and dancing). This bonus can stack up to a max of 3 times (+20 per minute), for three players dancing.^{[Verification Needed]}

Durability only decreases when the character is dancing while wearing a costume. Durability lasts for a day, and a Sewing Kit will repair 100% of its durability.

Trivia

Spring Chests were not originally implemented in this Lunar New Year event, as opposed to the past year's event. After player's voiced their disagreement, Klei reversed their decision and allowed Spring Chests to drop as of January 31st, 2019. They will allow the chests to drop an extra week. ^[1]

-One strategy for getting 100% of the Lucky Gold Nuggets is to build Fences around the Pig King, far enough where they don't interrupt the Pig King minigame, but close enough where putting 4 LGN will pique the interest of the Elite Pigs. Place the LGN outside the Fences in one stack each. Start the minigame. The Elite Pigs will go after the LGN and won't care about the LGN the Pig King is throwing out. Pick them up. Once the Pig King waves his hand, go outside the Fences and collect the Lucky Golden Nuggets. Avoid the Elite Pigs during this part. Once done, collect the extra 2 Lucky Pouches the Pig King throws out.{{Clear}}
