VexPets Feature Rundown

This document tracks the major implemented features of the VexPets website for development and planning purposes.

  • Virtual Pets (VexPets): You can adopt, name, and set an active pet. They have stats like Health, Hunger, Energy, and Happiness, along with combat stats (Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity) that can be improved.
  • Inventory & Equipment: You have a personal inventory to hold items. Certain items, like swords, can be equipped to your pets from the “Equipment” page to prepare them for battle.
  • Player Profiles & Avatars: Every user has a public profile page displaying their pets, bio, and chosen avatar. You can edit your profile and unlock new avatars.
  • Questing: A full quest system is in place. You can accept quests, track objectives (like collecting items or visiting locations), and receive rewards like VexPoints and items upon completion.
  • VexPoints (VP): The main currency of the game.
  • Banking: You can deposit and withdraw VP from the Vexoria Central Bank, earning daily interest on your savings.
  • Official Shops: NPC-run shops (like Woodland Wares) exist with stock that automatically replenishes and prices that fluctuate based on supply.
  • Player-to-Player Marketplace: Currently a little broken. You can list items from your inventory for sale in your own “My Shop,” set prices, and search for items being sold by other players.
  • Battle Arena: A turn-based combat system where you can take your active pet to fight pre-defined opponents (like the Scrappy Snowman) in arenas. The combat involves using equipped items, which have energy costs and cooldowns.
  • Daily & Timed Activities:
    • Donation Center: Donate spare items or collect up to three items per day that others have donated.
    • Wishing Well & Dirt Pile: Interact with these locations on a timed cooldown for a chance at random rewards.
    • Gift Wheel: Spin the wheel in Greenhaven for a chance to win VP and items.
    • Fishing & Breakout: Mini-games that provide items and VP, also on a cooldown timer.
  • Pet Painter: At Ochre the Brushstroke‘s workshop in the Sirocco Desert, you can use spray paint items to change the color of your pet’s body parts.
  • Wearables & Closet: Cosmetic items can be moved to a “Closet” and then worn by your active pet to customize its appearance with backgrounds and other effects.
  • Evolution: At the Mad Scientist’s lab, you can combine a specific pet (Vexoplasm) with a rune and a material to evolve it into a completely new species.
  • User Directory: A searchable list of all registered players on the site.
  • Admin Panel (VexTeam only): A powerful backend tool to manage the site, including toggling maintenance mode, managing user ranks and bans, viewing analytics, and granting items or premium status.
