Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: When will my breeding arrive?
A: It depends on how long the queue is, and how many breeding artists are on the team at the time. The usual time is between 1-2 weeks for LBC breedings, and between one week to a month for BC breedings. However, these times can be a lot longer depending on how many breedings have already been submitted. Please be patient!
Q: I don't like how my breeding turned out, who can I talk to?
A: If there is something you dislike about a breeding you received, feel free to contact a breeding admin such as Frey (#90) with your concerns.
Q: There's an artist mistake on the babies from my breeding. Where do I post this?
A: There is a thread titled "Breeding Mistakes" in the Breeding Chat forum where you can post any offspring that have artist mistakes on them. Currently that thread is here:

A: This usually means there was an issue with the uploading of your breeding. Just contact Frey (#90) and she'll re-upload your eggs for you.
Q: I want to apply to be a breeding artist. What do I do?
A: Send an email to aywas.psds@gmail.com and ask for either an LBC application or a BC application (or both, if you'd like).

Rogr x Soli = Lerna
Reve x Lacer = Lysk
Melo x Phanto = Shisa
Q: How many babies can I get from a Lesser Breeding Coin (LBC) Breeding?
A: - Standard same species breedings will result in 2 offspring unless otherwise stated. If the pair of pets being bred are married, the user will receive an additional offspring for a total of 3 from the breeding.
- Hybrid same species breedings have a 50% chance of resulting in either 1 or 2 offspring. If the pair of pets being bred are married, the user will receive an additional offspring for a total of 2 or 3 from the breeding.
- Flux breedings will result in 1 offspring 70% of the time and 2 offspring the other 30%. If the pair of Flux being bred are married, the user will receive an additional offspring for a total of 2 or 3 from the breeding.
- Lunaris breedings will result in 1 offspring. If the pair of Lunaris being bred are married, the user will receive an additional offspring for a total of 2 from the breeding.
- Xaocs cannot be bred together at this time.
Q: How many babies can I get from a Breeding Coin (BC) Breeding?
A: All BC breedings have a 50% chance of resulting in either 1 or 2 offspring. If the pair of pets being bred are married, the user will receive an additional offspring for a total of 2 or 3 from the breeding.
Q: How does a Lesser Breeding Pendant (LBP) work?
A: The LBP is a regenerating item which allows you to breed two pets of the same species once per month.
Q: How does a Breeding Pendant (BP) work?
A: The BP is a regenerating item which allows you to breed two pets of different species once every three months.
Q: Can I use a breeding coin on two pets that don't have a hybrid pairing?
A: Sure! If you use a BC on two species that don't currently have a hybrid pairing, you'll just get babies from those species. For example, currently there is no hybrid for melo x vyne, so if you bred a melo and a vyne together, you'd get either melo babies, vyne babies, or a mixture of both.
Q: Where do I find pet. PSDs?
A: Please refer to this thread:

http://www.aywas.com/forum/topic/52855/
Q: How do you breed Aywas?
A: To breed two aywas, you first need a coin. If you would like to breed two aywas of the same species, then you would need to get a Lesser Breeding Coin which you can buy in the GP shop, or from another user. If you would like to breed two aywas that are different species, you would need a Breeding Coin, which can be bought in the GP shop every 3 months.

Once you have a coin, and you have figured out the two pets you would like to breed, you need to go to the Standing Stones, located under the "world" section of the menu. There you can click on your coin, and then you select the pet in your lair that you would like to breed, and enter the ID number of the second pet you would like to breed with.

Once your breeding has been submitted, just sit back and relax! The babies will arrive within time.
Q: How do I breed two pets that aren't mine?
A: You have one of two options. The first option is to send your coin to the owner of one of the pets you want to breed with, have them submit the breeding for you, and then have them send you the babies when they arrive. The second is to ask to borrow one of the pets so you can submit the breeding yourself. Note: both pets do not have to be in your possession to breed them.
Q: Where do I send my custom's .PSD?
A: Please send it to aywas.psds@gmail.com and label the subject with "CUSTOM PSD #______" with your pet's ID number in place of the blank.
Q: Can I use my LBC to breed customs? What about silver customs?
A: Yes. As long as the pets you want to breed are the same species, an LBC will work.

If you are breeding silver customs that have identical or near identical lineart (no more than 5-10% different), you can use an LBC to breed them.
Q: Can I make my own breeding predictions?
A: Of course! You can make your own predictions for standard and hybrid LBC breedings. However you cannot make predictions for BC breedings.
Q: Can I pay someone to make breeding predictions for me?
A: Sure. However, there are some limits. You may only have them make 4 predictions per breeding, and you can only pay them up to 1 GP per prediction.
Q: Can I ask for more edits to be added to my babies from my breeding?
A: Absolutely not. Frey will glare at you if you ask. :l
Q: Did my breeding get lost?
A: No, breedings don't get lost. Some artists finish their lists faster than others, so even if you see babies appearing that were submitted after yours, it doesn't mean your breeding was lost.
Q: How does a Radioactive Breeding Coin (RBC) work?
A: An RBC allows a user the chance to breed two pets of any species together. It works the same way that a BC or an LBC does, except there is a chance that it will fail and successful breedings are likely to produce a mutant offspring.
Q: What's the failure chance of a radioactive breeding coin?
A: The failure chance of a Radioactive Breeding coin is 50%.
Q: What kind of babies can I get from a radioactive breeding coin?
A: Anything really, however the baby you get from a radioactive breeding will most likely be labeled as unbreedable. Most likely if your breeding is successful and doesn't fail, you'll get an odd mutant baby, however you could get a normal baby also. For example, someone could breed two melos together and get a meep baby. Also, Radioactive Breedings result in only one baby.
Q: How does mistletoe work?
A: Mistletoe allows a user the chance to breed two pets of the same species together. It works the same way that an LBC does, except there is a chance that it will fail.
Q: What's the failure chance of mistletoe?
A: The failure chance of mistletoe is 50%.
Q: Where do mutant babies come from?
A: They come from Radioactive Breeding Coin breedings.
Q: Why is the baby from my breeding unbreedable?
A: Most likely it came from a Radioactive Breeding Coin, and since those breedings tend to be a bit abnormal, the babies are not allowed to breed.
Q: What does a Rosetta Stone do?
A: A Rosetta Stone allows you to bypass the 3 days you normally have to wait for an egg to hatch. Once you use a Rosetta Stone on an egg, you can hatch it immediately.
Q: How do I hatch my eggs early?
A: You would need to use a Rosetta Stone on the egg you want to hatch early.
Q: How do I use a Rosetta Stone?
A: Visit the Standing Stones, located under the "world" section of the menu. Click on the link that says "Read Rosetta" and then select the egg you would like to use the Rosetta on.
Q: I got a notification saying my breeding was completed. Where do I find the eggs?
A: Visit the Phoenix Tree, located under the "world" section of the menu. Your eggs should be there waiting to be incubated. Just click on the eggs to incubate them.
Q: How do I hatch the eggs from my breeding?
A: To hatch your eggs, you incubate them under the Phoenix Tree, located under the "World" tab. It takes three days for your egg to incubate. If you're feeling impatient, you can use a Rosetta Stone at any time to instantly hatch it.
Q: It won’t let me use an LBC on these 2 pets, even though they should be the same species. What happened?
A: Most likely, there is a spelling mistake in the species of one of the pets, which is causing the database to think it is something different than it should be. That, or one of the pets' species is labeled incorrectly.
Q: What does an Engagement Ring do?
A: An engagement ring marries two pets. Married pets can only breed with the pet they are married to, and a breeding of two married pets will always yield one extra offspring.
Q: How do I marry my pets?
A: If you have an Engagement Ring, you can marry your pets by going to "Pet Proposals" under the "My Pets" tab. Choose your pet from the drop down menu and then enter the ID number of the pet you wish to marry it to. Once the proposal has been accepted (by yourself if you own both, or by the owner of the other pet), your pets are married.
Q: Can married pets breed with other pets that aren't their spouse?
A: Nope. Once you marry two pets, they can only breed with each other. Only if a married pet ranks in the top 10 of the drinking game is it possible for it to breed with other pets.
Q: Can I get the .PSD file of the baby from my breeding?
A: The breeding staff will not hand out .PSD files for any hybrids. Depending on how busy the staff is, they may hand out .PSD files for regular babies. Currently, you can request the .PSD of a second generation pet here:

http://www.aywas.com/forum/topic/47716/
Q: Can I make predictions for hybrid breedings?
A: No, only the breeding artists can create hybrid offspring.
Q: I got the wrong kind of hybrid from my hybrid breeding. Who should I contact?
A: Please contact Frey (#90) so she can fix the issue.
Q: I had breeding rules for my pets, and a user didn't follow them. Who should I contact?
A: Feel free to contact any moderator or admin so they can help solve the situation.
Q: I want to apply to be a pet coloration artist. Who should I contact?
A: Please send an email to aywas.pets@gmail.com asking to apply for a pet coloration artist.
Q: I want to switch accounts, but I have a pending breeding on my current account. What should I do?
A: Either do not purchase/acquire an account until your breeding has arrived, or get the new owner of your account to send the babies to you when they arrive. You cannot extend the 2 week period allowed, even if you are waiting on a breeding.
Q: Will my offspring have edits? If so, how are the edits determined?
A: In the case of BC breedings, users will either receive a hybrid custom that has 30% edits or if the user receives two offspring they have a 50/50 chance of getting either one offspring with 30% edits and one with 0% edits or both offspring having a mix of edits. However, the type of edits that get carried, the amount of the edit, and the size of the edit are at the discretion of the artist. If your customs have some type of edit, your offspring will be guaranteed an edit.

In the case of LBC breedings, it is up to the discretion of the artist. For example, if you have one edited parent and one non-edited parent, the babies can either have a mix of edits from the parents, or one baby with no edits and the other baby with some edits.

In the case of user-submitted LBC breedings, at least half of the predicts must reflect a clear mix of the parents. You can use the other half of the predicts to favor one parent or the other, however all of your predicts cannot favor one parent, some have to be mixed. The colors must be mixed, the edits must be mixed, and the markings should be mixed also. So please don't submit 4 predicts that all have wings (unless both parents have wings), or that are all blue when the parents were blue and green.
Q: Do I have to make breeding predictions for my breeding?
A: Nope! You can have the artist team make your babies for you if you desire.
Q: Can I do more than 4 predictions for my breeding?
A: No, please submit only 4.
Q: How to I apply to become a moderator?
A: Fill out the moderator application located in Ask the Admin and send it to aywas.modapps@gmail.com.

Please refer to this thread:
Q: When will my application for moderator be looked at?
A: Moderator applications are reviewed anywhere from once a week to twice a month during periods when no new moderators are needed at the time. When moderators are actively being hired, applications are reviewed daily. You will only receive a reply (on site) if the position is being offered to you. If you are not selected, your application may still be under consideration for a future promotion.
Q: How often does the staff add new moderators to the team?
A: Moderators are hired based on need, so timing and necessity fluctuates, but a rough estimate is every three to five months.
Q: Who are the members of the staff?
A: Refer to this page to see who the current members of the staff are:

http://www.aywas.com/online/staff/
Q: What do the admins do?
A: It depends on the admin.
User admins oversee the moderators, handle severe forum issues, mediate user conflict and general administrative help.
Breeding admins oversee breedings, the artist staff, and basically everything else breeding related.
Q: I have a question about something site related, can I message one of the moderators / admins?
A: Please feel free to contact a moderator or admin if you ever have a question regarding the site.
Q: I got an official warning from the staff, what does that mean?
A: An official warning is sent out for more significant or major breaches of the ToS that don't require an outright ban. A warning may also be sent out for an issue that you have received reminders about previously. Harassment, flaming, and severe sales problems all warrant this level of reprimanding. Upon receiving an official warning, a detailed explanation and links to any pertinent threads or site pages will be included. If you have any questions or want to appeal the warning, reply to the moderator or contact a user administrator.

Accumulating warnings may lead to short bans and potentially a permanent one if the behavior does not change or worsens. If you are on this path, a staff member will contact you to explain your situation well ahead of time.

We keep a log of all warnings.
Q: I got an official reminder from the staff, what does that mean?
A: Reminders are sent out for first offenses or small problems, such as poor grammar and spelling, failure to use an [M] tag, bumping a thread too frequently, etc. They acknowledge a breach of the ToS, but take into consideration the lack of severity. If you neglect to take the reminder into consideration and keep doing the same thing over and over again, the issue may then demand a warning. If you have any questions or want to appeal the reminder, reply to the moderator or contact a user administrator.

We keep a log of all reminders.
Q: How can I tell if a user is a moderator?
A: A moderator will have a green rank that says "Mod" which can be viewable on the forums beneath their usernames.
Q: How can I tell if a user is an admin?
A: An admin will have a blue rank that says "Admin" which can be viewable on the forums beneath their usernames.
Q: Why was my thread locked?
A: Threads are only closed for one of two reasons:
a. OP request.
b. ToS breach/the thread has devolved into irredeemable flaming.

Our policy is to keep threads open as long as possible by addressing rule-breaking at the level of particular users and not necessarily the whole thread. Therefore, if a very tiny fraction of thread participants are engaging in flaming, for example, they will be contacted privately so other players can continue enjoying the topic at hand. However, if a thread has repeatedly taken nasty turns and as a whole becomes little more than fighting, it will be closed.

You may always begin a new thread on a topic that has been previously locked for the above reason.

If you have any questions about a locked thread, don't hesitate to contact a staff member.
Q: Why was my thread moved into the trash?
A: Threads are only "deleted" or moved to the Trash for one of three reasons:
a. OP request.
b. Anything that's a security risk or details a glitch that can be abused.
b. Severe ToS breaches. Explicit material such as pornography, bestiality, etc. will be moved, as well as some sensitive topics, such as suicide.
Q: Can I get my thread unlocked?
A: If your thread was locked by request, yes. You may request to have it opened at any time.

If your thread was locked due to a ToS breach or behavior, then in most cases the answer will be no. If your thread is ever locked and there is a chance for it to be re-opened, such as editing something out of your OP to make it acceptable, the moderator will let you know.
Q: Can I be a moderator if I share an account?
A: If you share an account, you may only become a moderator if all users sharing the account are also accepted as moderators.
Q: Who do I contact if I have an issue involving a member of staff?
A: If you have an issue with one of the moderators, please send your concerns to one of the user admins.
Q: I feel like I was warned / reminded unfairly, who should I contact?
A: If you feel like unfair action was taken against you by a moderator, please send your concerns to one of the user admins.
Q: Why was my thread deleted?
A: A thread should never be deleted, they should be moved to trash if they need to be moved out of the public eye or if it was a duplicate thread. If your thread was deleted, please contact one of the user admins.
Q: Why was my post deleted?
A: Posts should never be deleted unless they are double posts and removed by request. In rare cases, staff may also delete a post that contains something like a pornographic image.

If your post is ever deleted and you did not request it, please contact a user administrator.

The exception to this is in official event threads or in a place like Request Customs and User Submitted Offspring. Administrators will routinely go through these areas and remove posts that have been taken care of.
Q: Why was my thread made into a sticky?
A: A moderator or admin should have posted on your thread explaining why they made it into a sticky. If they did not post and you are curious, feel free to contact one of the staff.
Q: How do I get my thread to be made into a sticky?
A: You should not ask to have your thread made into a sticky. One of the staff members will make a thread into a sticky if they think that other users can benefit from the thread and that it would be useful for it to be a sticky.
Q: I want my thread to be locked, who do I contact?
A: Contact any moderator or admin and they'll be happy to help.

A: Please contact Slash (#1) if you have found a glitch that can be taken advantage of for unfair wealth gain.
Q: None of the staff is online, but I have a serious issue. What should I do?
A: Pick a staff member that you see online most often, and message them about it. You'll have to wait until they log on before the issue can be dealt with. Please do not message more than one staff member, as it can cause confusion.
Q: If I have an issue and I already messaged a staff member, how long should I wait for them to respond before contacting someone else?
A: At least 24 hours. If they've been online since you sent the message, most likely they are already working on it.
Q: I lost an item / pet due to a glitch. What do I do?
A: There is a "Report Violation" link at the bottom of every page. Fill out a report with the type "Missing Item(s)" and provide information on what item is missing, how many, and what happened that made the item go missing.
Q: What does it mean when a user is a Contributor?
A: It means they have contributed a lot to the site, whether it be pet colorations, or features, etc.

Not all results will be good ones, so chose which pet you zap wisely.

Alternatively, the Museum also asks users to turn in a complete set of the 9 spheres for a small reward.
Q: What is a codex page for?
A: Currently the item “Codex Page” is only used to complete the codex collection in the Museum.

Q: Can I sell my tent after using it?
A: Yes, if you shoo the pet from your tent, the tent returns to your inventory and is perfectly acceptable to be sold.
Q: Where do I go to transfer a pet to another player?
A: Under the “Pets” tab is the link “Pet Trades”. Here you choose which pet you want to send and enter the ID number of the person you want to send it to. When that person accepts your trade, you then click accept again to finalise it and they accept once more in order to receive the pet. Note:If you are not trading a pet for a pet, but rather for BP/GP or are giving it to them as a gift, the receiver does not need to select a pet to trade.
Q: Someone sent me an item, but I can’t find it. Where is it?
A: All items sent to you by another player go to your Deposit Box.
Q: Why is there an inventory limit on the number of items we can have?
A: Aywas has millions of items in the database, and it takes up a lot of space. An inventory limit’s purpose is to hopefully deter hoarding of items.
Q: What does a certain item do? Where can I look up this information?
A: All items and a description of what they do can be found in the “Item Listing” under the “Archives” tag.
Q: Why can’t we equip apprentices anymore?
A: Sadly apprentices have been retired and therefore cannot be equipped.
Q: Is there a bartering system in Aywas shops? Can we haggle?
A: Yes, in some Aywas shops the owner will let you haggle the item down by 10%.
Q: Are there any discounts in Aywas shops for Premium members?
A: Yes, Premium members get 10% off in all shops, except for the SP shop.

Q: Why do I have to buy licenses?
A: Every good hunter needs a license, of course! Licenses not only provide a small BP sink, but they help regulate the influx of catchable pets to help maintain their worth.
Q: Where do I buy a license?
A: In Explore there is a button at the bottom of the page that says “Licenses”. From there you can buy a licence, or upgrade to a better license. Remember: Licences don’t stack, you only get the benefits of the highest licence you have bought.
Q: Do licenses expire?
A: No, licences do not expire.
Q: How many levels does it take to master an area in explore?
A: There are 14 levels to complete quests in, which leads you to a final and 15th level where you’re free to roam.
Q: What happens when you master an area in explore?
A: When you reach level 15 you also unlock that area’s city where there are mini games and new features to explore. Once an area is unlocked you can return to it at any time.
Q: Do you have to master each area first to be able to move onto the next area?
A: Yes, to continue to the next area you must finish the one you’re in.
Q: What is the point of the monsters?
A: Monsters are your key to moving through the area. To complete a level you must first complete the Quest to eradicate a certain number of one monster. When you have mastered an area they are a good levelling tool.
Q: Who are the Merchants?
A: Merchants are evil minions who eat the BP from your pockets.

But seriously, The traveling merchants randomly appear while you are exploring. They will either open up a mini shop and sell you an item, or they will give you the option to buy a random item for a random amount--but you have no way of knowing what item that is until you pay for it.
Q: What kind of items can I get from the Merchants?
A: The Merchants will offer to sell you a mystery item for anywhere between 2,000 BP and 6,000 BP. You can get anything from a Pile of Crap to a TRE or even Tiny Glittering Rocks, Random Potions and Treasure Chest Keys!
Q: What are the Treasure Chest Keys and Treasure Chests?
A: Treasure Chest Keys can be used to unlock the Treasure Chests you find in Explore. Each key can only be used once. Inside the Chest will be a random item for you to keep.
Q: How will I know if my pet has gained a level?
A: When your pet gains a level you get a notification telling you what level it has achieved.
Q: Will I get penalized if I defeat monsters that aren’t part of my quest?
A: No, you can battle any monsters you wish, but only the ones you’ve been asked to defeat will count towards your total.
Q: What is AU / Tackle AU?
A: AU are “Attack Units”, and Tackle is a move your pet has learned in order to battle against other pets and monsters. Each time you use Tackle (or another ability) you will use 1 AU. If you run out of AU all your pet can do is panic - and that isn’t very effective at all!
Q: Can you quit a quest?
A: Yes, but if you quit a quest you have to start again from the beginning at 0 defeats.
Q: Why are all of the pets / monsters beating my pet?
A: Some pets are stronger than others, so your best bet is to equip some armour and weapons. These increase your Attack and Toughness stats while they are equipped and can make exploring much easier.

Q: Can I have someone else log into my account and continue my Xero streak while I’m on vacation?

Therefore, having an Aywas player log into your account to play Xero (or any game) would be considered multiple account use. However, if you have a brother, for example, who does NOT play aywas (and has never played aywas), he could log into your account and play xero for you.
