Xaoc no more...

Site Update




First up, some good news, I am still alive~ Woohoo. I was without power for almost a solid week, in sub zero temperatures, it was horrible.
But I am back and trying to catch up! My first order of business however is not so great news.
As many of you are aware of, Xaocs cannot be bred to eachother with any coin, however this was ignored for some time with Sketch Breeding Coins. After working with several artists and discussing it with staff, Xaoc x Xaoc can no longer be bred with Sketch Breeding Coins and I will be refunding any beedings that do so.
There is a strict rule that you cannot have a clone of rare genus', and breeding two of them together creates a clone in 99% of these situations.
Sorry for any inconvenience this poses!

Note: Sorry guys, I'm gonna talk to you through the news post cause there is far too many of you to ping directly. First up, thankyou everyone for your well wishes. The cats and my family are all alright now and bracing for the blizzard that is gonna shut my whole state down. Hoping to finish my work today before the brunt of it hits, if I vanish again just assume I don't have power.
Regarding the Xaoc, this is not a new rule. Xaocs have never been allowed to breed eachother with any coin unless there is an addon to change the species of the baby.
For more information you can visit This KB Article and in the bottom you will see the footnote: " Ultra Rares can only be breed together using a breeding coin IF an add-on which results in a different genus for the offspring is attached. Such add-ons include Mutagenic Ooze, Hybrid Embryo, Hybrid Genetics Kit, Unidentified Embryo, and Genus in a Bottle."

Several got through the queue beforehand, so I tried to continue this but after causing quite a bit of strife for my artists as well as myself it has been decided it isn't workable. I have had to send back Xaoc x Xaoc babies repeatedly because they were just too close to looking like a Xaoc. Several that did manage to pass before I took over end up having to go through fixes because they were still to close to being a Xaoc so they couldn't actually be created as a species.
Anybody who has their breeding refunded is welcome to contact me so we can try to resolve this situation with as little unpleasantness as possible. Upsetting people is *not* my goal, it never is.

i think since its your fault this issue
kinda occured... that the current breedings
should be issues. i dont have one as i am
not a SBC fan but still... i think for those esp
waiting forever in que, it should be given.

Oh god. For some reason I thought it's more like "Yeah. No more Xaoc Elixirs. No more Xaoc Totems. Breeding changes? HA! That's out the window. YOU'RE SOL!"

Huh I actually did not know about that rule. Useful information if I ever get a xaoc

Kyte (#51) - ha, I thought the same at first glance... then I saw the SBCs on the sides of the Xaoc and went... oh, must be breeding related, so I read it and sure enough.

I'm totally happy that the Xaoc x Xaoc is not possible because I sure don't want clones of my Xaoc. :D

🎄 Anailaigh 🎄 (#72649) Actually, it was not my fault at all. And I find that accusation entirely unfair and incredibly rude. I have been attempting to restabilize Aywas since I took over, and the majority of rule changes I do are from my predecessors in an attempt to rebalance certain things. In this situation as someone else has mentioned, it helps to keep rares exactly that, Rare.

Kyte (#51) we'll see what april fools day brings. Just so I can watch your panic <3

Zaria (#14800) Yup, it's been in effect since the beginning cause typically you can't actually breed rares x rares I think, as it messes with the odds of what you're gonna get. Painted coins kinda fumbled that a little with painted golds, but kept Xaocs completely exclusive.

well now I'm curious--how was this making clones of the parents? looking at the sketch breeding coin knowledge base article it looks like it should be a combo of the parents' edits, and it even specifies it needs to be unique.
