Today's Updates: The Gold Puffle, New Furniture, Room Updates, and More! (Part 1)

Hey guys! Chill here. Today I'm going to take a short break from Games Month to talk about today's updates.

The big news here is that the Gold Puffle, which has been rumored for a long long LONG time, is finally available to adopt for members! But, just like the Rainbow Puffle we have to go on a quest to adopt it. First, take any puffle of your choice to the Pet Shop. The first thing you'll probably notice is the brand new Gold O'Berry station thing.
For 10 coins, members can purchase a Gold O'Berry to feed to their puffle, very similar to the Pizza Snack Station introduced last month.
Once you pull the lever, the O'Berry will shoot out and your puffle will eat it.
Then your puffle will get a Gold O'Berry icon above their head and have a gold glow pulse from them.
After that, just walk your puffle around the island. Instead of digging up coins and rare items, they can dig up one to three gold nuggets.
Once you've collected at least fifteen gold nuggets, head to the recently reopened and redesigned Cave Mine.
Put your gold nuggets into the jackhammer and... ta-da! You have your own Gold Puffle!
Then you can name it, of course.
Congratulations! You now have the long-rumored Gold Puffle. I named mine Nugget, cuz, y'know, gold nuggets. What did you name your Gold Puffle?  Anyway, here's how it looks on your player card.
And here's how it looks in the igloo. Here you can see its idle pose and doing actions. Sorry about the other random puffles, they wanted to get in on the action too I guess.

And here's how it looks on the Puffle Card.

Last but not least, here's the dancing and digging animations.
Also, unlike the Rainbow Puffle, Club Penguin has programmed the Gold Puffle into Puffle Launch and Pufflescape, however it doesn't have its own unique sprite yet, instead taking the appearance of the red and white puffles. As you can see I've selected Nugget in these pictures but he's definitely not gold here!

There's also a nice new rug for it at the Pet Shop, but as always you'll need to actually take a Gold Puffle there to see it in person.
The Gold Puffle is pretty cool, but that's not all there is this week.


The brand new Furniture Catalog is now out, which is EPF and wilderness themed in preperation of, you guessed it, Operation: Puffle. Can you believe it starts a week from today already? Unfortunately this catalog has no new hidden items to find, which is kind of a bummer, but it's great if you don't like having to look up stuff or spend hours looking for hidden items that just aren't there.

The first page is all new items. They are the Tall Snowy Tree, River Pontoon Boat, Hot n' Cold Crater, Puffle Kennel, and River's Edge. These items range from 150 to 250 coins.

The second page is also all new items. They are the Medic Tent, Frozen Ledge, Rope Climbing Wall, Log Cabin, Wooden Post, and Log Wall, all ranging from 100 to 300 coins.
The third page is returning items from Operation: Blackout. They are the Spy Car, Cardboard Herbert, Short Security Laser, and Long Security Laser, ranging from 200 to 900 coins.

The fourth and final new page is also returning items. They are the Safe, Containment Cell, Plasma Ball, Paw Print, Boss Desk, Rosewood Chair, and Emergency Light. These items range from 50 to 700 coins.

Personally, Club Penguin could've done a better job with this catalog. The items aren't very good by themselves, and you'd need a lot of other things to make something good out of these. Some of them also seem to be "DIY", (do it yourself) like the Log Cabin and the parts that go with it. I also think Club Penguin should start releasing casual furniture more often, like the Boss Desk or Rosewood Chair, and some new flooring. Like seriously, think about it - how long has it been since we got new igloo flooring?

In other news, several rooms have all been updated for the Gold Puffle Quest - but that's coming in the next post! See you guys then!

Chill is out, peace!
