"The best laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley"
I know my last news post said there would be a slew of news from me over the weekend, however as you can gather things resumed their attempts to keep me from doing what I've promised!
The first fantastic news, though, is that the queues are officially all processed and empty, and ready to be filled again! I haven't tagged in Yasu to get us up and running again yet, but I plan to do that once this post has been made, so the queues will be open again very soon.
Which brings me to the mixed bag you're about to dive into...
Common Genus Holiday Makers
These items are a nice and cheap option to make some lovely pets, but with the fluctuation of rules loosening and tightening, no one really knows where they stand - including staff!
Due to this the decision to retire the Orange and Holiday Custom Crystals and Orbs has been made.
(The Coal and Silver Holiday items will be remaining active.)
But don't despair!
You will be able to trade them in for Blue Custom items - 1 will get you an unbreedable item, 5 will get you the breedable item. Exchanges will be set up in the Annoying Item Bazaar.
You also have until September 19th to upload any pets you want to attempt to put through the four common holiday queues, before the items are retired from custom making.
Cracked Nova Crystal Orb
People have asked about unbreedable Uncommon items for a while now, and we thought that instead of releasing four new items we would consolidate them into one super custom maker.
The Cracked Nova Crystal Orb can make an unbreedable custom of any Uncommon genus (excluding the Sevryn) that has 0-75% edits. It is now stocking in the SP Shop for 3 SP.
Genus Changing Amulet
Another user request has been that we create an Uncommon-to-Uncommon genus change item - but we thought that no one needs the hassle of another item when we have one that's perfectly fine as it is!
From today the Amulet will support both Common-to-Common AND Uncommon-to-Uncommon genus changes, within their own region (for example, you still won't be able to change a Drylis into a Melo, and you won't be able to change an Oakl into an Unus).
Vion Planter
Just when you think I'm done... Well, after this I am because I need a nap.
Do you have a gorgeous Vion that you just can't force to under 50%? Have you shaken your fist at the skies and cursed my name for it? Well, curse no longer!
The Vion Planter is a 75% Vion custom maker. It's not going to be an incredibly common item, much like the Bottled Celestial Stream, but we're giving you a head start on grabbing them with a 1 day release into the GP shop at an undisclosed time over the next two weeks.
Keep your eyes peeled for your 24 hour warning for this sale!
A quick word from our sponsors before I go...
It seems that the poor Cauldron Custom thread is as dusty, empty, and disappointing as a certain item I'm not mentioning...
We have some cute designs in there, but nowhere near enough for our needs!
Please know that if we don't get enough designs posted, we won't be able to host a cauldron this year. Also, if you're not a fan of posting on multiple threads and don't mind where your designs end up, then you can throw all your designs in the link above because that thread will also be used to choose Adventure and Shop pets from too!

Well, while I am sad to see the holiday ones going, but it was a confusing item as is. It was just a nice cheaper method to make holiday ones. I am happy with the updates. Keep them coming. We love seeing that the site is being worked on. And thank you Eve (#2775)

I am rather glum at the orange and candy cane custom items decision, as I recall the themes being more organized with examples not too far back. They were a very nice relatively cheap item for our two biggest annual events, and an enjoyable creator for some people who couldn't afford other items, I believe. However, thank you very much for the update, and I'm glad to hear about the new items and especially enjoy the change to the GCA :)

a bit annoyed I commissioned someone through the usd panel to make me a few holiday themed pets for the crystals and I'm waiting and I don't think they'll get done in time, and I don't have a large amount of the custom makers on hand to even benefit from the trade in.

Awe that stinks about the custom creators. Other than non-breedable or metal items they're really the only decently priced thing custom wise. Understand why you're doing it I just wish you weren't.

Thank goodness I hoarded them from when they were in explore that one time... I'll be able to fund a few pets I've needed done now so at least they aren't a total waste. Still a shame to see them go. They were a fun item to use to hand out gifts to people for xmas with without breaking the bank.

So just to make sure I don't end up with items I can't use anymore... this is about the Orange Custom Crystal, the Orange Custom Orb, the Candy Cane Custom Crystal and the Candy Cane Custom Orb, right? No other ones?
I must say I am saddened about this news.. It's always sad to see things get lost, even though I've never found the time to actually do something with mine...

i'm a little upset about the news of the CCCC and CCCO's.. I didn't ever get around to using mine much but I always liked to collect them. They were also nice gifts for newbies who wanted to make customs, but hey. I guess trading in for unbreedable custom makers works too...

And I'm chickening out from trying to edit this so:
Custom submission should have been resumed!
