An The next major project your {{hero or heroine|or=1}} will embark upon once completing a [[temple]] in Your honor is the construction of an '''Ark'''. Completion of an ark can be created after getting requires the collection of 1000 logs of [[Gopher gopher wood]]. Building an ark is the second of five goals [[heroes]] aim to accomplish during their lives. An ark can only be built after a hero completes their [[temple]]. Because arks are a very recent technological invention in Godville, only a few of the benefits are known to the gods.

After completing the construction of a temple, a {{hero or heroine}} will begin collecting gopher wood by finding temple offerings, collecting pieces successfully exiting through the treasury in [[dungeons]], completing [[epic quest|epic quests]], accomplishing and [[side jobs]] during its initial construction phase, and winning fights in the [[arena]]. Gopher wood logs are less common in [[Godville]] than gold bricks, so collecting these will take your {{hero or heroine}} longer than it took to complete the temple.

Once a {{hero or heroine}} finishes constructing an ark, the hero they will gain the ability to store up to three [[pets]] in it. After receiving a "Put into ark" command from the deity (50% godpower), the hero will make a mental note, and will place the their current pet in the ark upon return to [[Godville_Godville (Town) | Godville]] and, after that, will be free to tame a new pet. Switching a pet by the {{heroor heroine}}'s side with one in the ark also costs 50% godpower. Note, if a god Deity would like to switch a pet with one in the ark (in other words, put the current pet in the ark and take a pet from the ark out), click "In the ark" and choose the pet to switch. Do not There is no need to put the current pet into the ark (50% godpower) and then remove a pet from the ark (50% godpower), well, unless a god wants to waste godpower.  Accordingly, a hero with an ark can have up to four pets (three in the ark and one at the hero's side). This ability removes the pain of separation from a pet should it be knocked out and unable to further gain [[pet levels]].

Ark owning gods finally become powerful enough Accordingly, a {{hero or heroine}} with an ark can have up to re-name any of their four pets (three in the ark and one at the hero's petsside). This ability removes the pain of separation from a pet should it be knocked out and unable to further gain [[pet levels]]. With each addition 1000 logs collected, another deck is added to the ark, making space for one additional pet to be stored there.

Additionally heroes with a completed ark find Ark owning gods finally become powerful enough to rename any of their {{hero or heroine}} 's pets. A pet name can be changed only once. Names that don't conform to the level range Game Rules will be rolled back, and the offending Deity's ability to tame monsters is increasedname their pets will be lost. This makes it possible to tame monsters that they would normally A pet name must be either too high capitalised and cannot contain spaces, special characters, or too low in level to tameany other capital letters.

Each additional 1000 logs (+100%) will allow Additionally, {{heroes and heroines}} with a completed ark find the hero level range to put an additional pet tame monsters is increased. This makes it possible to tame monsters that they would normally be either too high or too low in the ark and will increase the ark's maximum health when sailinglevel to tame.{{citation needed}}
