Site Update
Good Afternoon! I hope everyone is enjoying the Lunar Meteor so I will try to keep this short, it is just touching up on a few things!
I am sure by now most of you have seen the Premium Grab Bag on the Welcome Back page.. Well, it is finally released! This item does exactly what its name suggests it will do! You can pull out a random previously-released Premium monthly item! We removed some of the retired objects, such as Gardening Items, though given time they may find their way back in there.
You can find the Grab Bag in the USD Shop under the Misc section.
Be warned this item will not be a permanent addition to the shop! In order to help keep the premium items of value, it will be stocked randomly, with or without a notification as to when it will be stocked! I will keep it in for a few days to celebrate its creation, then it will be removed and show up at a later time.
Speaking of the previous Premium Items, I know that the Long Island Iced Teo has been a source of irritation for a lot of users (most of staff included) so I am happy to announce that it has finally been fixed! We spent the past few days thoroughly testing it, and it appears to finally be working correctly :D
Which! Now that we have figured out the trick behind regenerating Alcohol, we are going to be testing The Zombie! We ask, until I announce it has been fixed, that you Do Not use yours! You will not be refunded should something go wrong.
My next point of interest involves breedings. Firstly, Cocobeef||Quetz (#8298) is going on hiatus. I have assigned the rest of the Artist Tickets they had, and I am going to be working on compiling a list of artists on the Grand Team so users can know exactly who they can ticket.
Regarding Painted Coins:
I am going to be monitoring the requests closely, so I would like to remind all users that when you submit a breeding with a Painted Coin, you are permitted to give a Theme and a Color Scheme. These themes are supposed to be only a few words, and users are not allowed to ask the artist to use something that is Copyright! You are permitted to ask for certain edits to be used, however the artist is not required to follow your request. Please keep that in mind!
If you have questions regarding the coins, you can check out the Painted Metal Breeding Coin and Painted Lesser Breeding Coin Knowledge Base articles for helpful information.
On the other spectrum, I will also be monitoring the finished babies to ensure they fit the theme, the colors, and that they are of an appropriate quality.
And, again, I am asking ALL of Slash's Breeding Artists to please PM me with the abbreviation of your team and your Paypal address within the subject line. Then, in the body, include a link to your PM with Slash.
Many of you have already contacted me, and I appreciate it! However, those of you who have not, please do so quickly! Your lists will not be processed and you will not be able to be paid until I hear from you!
Artist's Palette and Painted Bottle now work properly with Blind Dates, so feel free to add them as you would like!
We also have a Temporary Breeding Artist opening! This position pays GP, with SP and Custom Item incentives for how many you complete on time! We need someone willing to help clear out the HBC queue, as well as to finish the Drunk Breedings from last year! If you are interested please visit This Thread for instructions and more information on payment!
The Bonuses will work as follows (And be used for current HBC Artists as well):
20 points per list turned in on time
1 SP for every 2 lists turned in on time.
1 Point = 1gp
With your points you can can purchase any custom making item available
You can purchase breeding items ONLY if you are submitting predicts, and you must present the pair and completed predicts when requesting the breeding items
If you cannot submit ONLY predicts, then you cannot request that coin
We have also remade the Birthday Fixes Thread. You should have received a Ping if you had posted in the last thread, asking if you still wish to change your birthday. We apologize for the massive delay in these, however we do offer the Lunaris' for these missed birthdays if you had contacted a moderator within 2 weeks of your birthday. Please visit the thread for more information!
Since you have been so patient and read this whole post, how about we open the Prehistoric Portal once more and see if we can find anything?
It looks like something is swimming out...
Ah! Look at this adorably happy fish! We will call him Daevo, and he will be our fishy.
Some of you may recognize him based on the prehistoric dunkleosteus, and if you are familiar with this fish you will also know they weren't nearly as happy or friendly-looking as ours! They were incredibly interesting, however, and I strongly recommend checking them out! :D
As per normal Prehistoric Portal tradition, once we have 75 Daevo designs in the edit repository, we will take another peek inside the portal and see if we can find something else. Please remember these designs must fall between 15% and 50%
And would you look at these sexy devils? It seems a few more NPC's have shown up! And these ones seem to have brought a few tools?? I wonder what type of construction their planning...
(Our thanks to Frey who wrote these profiles a very long time ago!)

I think I'd prefer the grab bag be more expensive and regenerate? Like once a month or something. I'd pay over 100 for that and get multiple o.o I don't really want a one use ;;

I'm in the same boat. I'd rather it be more expensive and regenerate.

Painted coins have always allowed an inspiration image. Was this changed Kaiyo (#489) ?

Azi (#6879) Inspirational Images are permitted as long as it is specified to only use it as reference. I am reminding my artists every time I assign one as well, that they are only for inspiration and not direct references :D

As for the Bag being expensive and regenning, regenning items have a tendency to entirely crash the economy, and that is what we are attempting to avoid. Should the bag regenerate, it would also make being a Premium member a moot point, the bag was created to allow users who may have missed an item to get it and to restock the economy with them.

Awesome, thanks for clarifying Kaiyo! I was worried since I have tons in queue right now, haha. Should I edit my breedings to remind that it's just for inspiration? They're almost all real animal colors/markings right now. Kaiyo (#489)

Kaiyo (#489) But there are things like the derpy dragons in them, ect. You could always have them produce some items at a more frequent manner. But the idea is that there is a chance to get some better items even 1-2 times a year would be more useful to me... plus then I also get to keep the bag ;; I much prefer regenning even with a low chance of good, than 1 use items.
Also, if it's something that's 100USD+, why would that make being a premium member a moot point. The point is to get the items back into the economy. Some people hoarded the carts of geodes... would be really nice to get one without having to pay nearly 75GP for one, even if I only got one more out of that, plus a bunch of little things.
