Ark

A completed ark floats in Los Demonos.

The next major project your heroine or hero will embark upon once completing a temple in Your honor is the construction of an Ark. Completion of an ark requires the collection of 1000 logs of gopher wood.

Building an ark is the second of seven goals heroes aim to accomplish during their lives.

Construction

After completing the construction of a temple, a heroine will begin collecting gopher wood by finding temple offerings, successfully exiting through the treasury in dungeons, completing quests and side jobs, and winning fights in the arena. Gopher wood logs are less common in Godville than gold bricks, so collecting these will take your heroine longer than it took to complete the temple.

!Hero's Diary↻ ↑

A log! A thousandth log! I’m even ready for a flood now. Not that I’m asking for it, Exalted One.

Once the thousandth log has been collected, the heroine will be able to embark on an entirely new adventure: sailing. As your heroine continues to collect gopher wood logs, the completion of the ark will continue to climb over 100%. Every 1000 logs collected will allow the heroine to add another deck onto the ark, with the ark growing more powerful and useful with each additional deck.

Additional Pet Benefits

Once a heroine finishes constructing an ark, the level range to tame monsters is increased. This makes it possible to tame monsters that they would normally be too high in level to tame.

Additionally, they will gain the ability to store up to three pets in their ark and their deity will gain the power to select new commands :

"Put into ark" (Cost 50% godpower, requires an empty stable)

• Upon returning to Godville, the heroine will place their current pet in an empty stable in the ark, after which, they will be free to tame a new pet.
• At first, up to 3 pets can the stored that way.
  • With each additional 100% (1000 logs) collected, another deck is added to the ark, making space for one additional stable and one more pet to be stored there, to the maximum of 7 stored pets.
  • Even levelless pets can be put into the ark, removing the pain of separation from a pet should it be knocked out and unable to further gain levels.

"Take from Ark" / "Take this pet from the ark" (Cost 50% godpower)

• By clicking "Pets", the deity has access to their list of ark-stored pets. From here, a deity can select a pet to take out. The heroine will take them out when they return to a town.
  • There is no need to put the current pet into the ark to take a pet from the ark. Taking a pet from the ark will just switch the two of them without extra cost.

"Rename"

• A pet name can be changed only once. Names that don't conform to the Game Rules will be rolled back, and the offending Deity's ability to name their pets will be lost.
• A pet name must be capitalized and cannot contain spaces, special characters, or any other capital letters.

"Set Free" / "Set this pet free" (Cost 50% godpower)

• A pet that has been stabled in the ark for at least 6 consecutive months can be set free.

Creature Collection

Heroes with an ark can store creatures. After completing an ark, a hero starts collecting two of every kind of creature—manimals and fenimals. Manimals and fenimals can be obtained by fishing, sailing, and by activating Christmas artifacts (such as the ❄ (snowflake)).
