Search Options ►Small Changes to Commissions Feature
Site Update
Some changes have been made to the Commissions Platform fee collection to better suit the feature and players now that it has been out for a number of months. Please review the changes below:
1) Fees will be collected on the last day of the month. We have found that the feature is not used often enough to merit collecting fees every week, primarily because of how small they tend to be, as per point #2.
2) Fees will only be collected at the end of the month if the fee amount is $1.00 or more. Anything less and it becomes a little pointless to invoice as PayPal will take most of it. If the fee amount in the artist's account is less than $1.00 at the end of the month, Aywas will wait until the end of the next month to invoice it, provided the fee amount reaches $1.00.
If you are confused about how fee collection works, you will receive a PayPal invoice to your PayPal-designated e-mail address and simply need to follow instructions on the invoice. Be sure to check your PayPal e-mail on January 31st, February 29th, etc!
Hope this helps streamline the fee collection! Have a good day, everyone~

The Cat's Out of the Bag!
Site Update
The spheres of ancient mewing fame have at long last returned to Adventure!
For those who weren't with us when these were first around, there are nine spheres which you collect and trade to Rogue's Zapping to activate the feature.
Once activated you can let Rogue cast his laser on your active pet and see what it'll do - from changing it's type from Light to Dark, or turning it into a random site pet, anything is possible... including a lot of nothing.
Please be aware the feature only works on pets that have not been locked =)
But where can you find these spheres, you ask? They're scattered around Ay:
Yellow: Bridge || White: Desert || Teal: East River
Red: Mountains || Purple: Scrublands || Pink: Fissures
Orange: Fields || Green: West River || Blue: Rainforest
Happy hunting!

Crystal Check Clear Up
Site Update
As some may have noticed, the Crystal Check is slowly beginning to be worked on!
This is a shout out to ask that if you have a design in Crystal Check that has been processed by the Queues, could you please remove it while we process the backlog. This will help us get to the designs people have been unable to make much sooner.
Once we're up to date, if you still want a specific percentage for your accepted design we will be more than happy to do that for you =)
Thank you for your time, and as always please have a quick look below at the other news posts!

In for Repairs
Site Update
Please excuse all the dust, we're taking the Slashbots to get some repairs and polished up. While we're busy with the makeover please refrain from sending in new slashbot, stuffing, or handheld world requests.
We'd hate for someone to get swept away while we're cleaning :D

Holiday Item Form
Site Update
Holiday items now have a small requirement: please include the following form in the notes for your custom submission. The reason for the form is so I can know exactly where you're coming from with your custom's theme and how it applies to the item, and thus we can cut out any unnecessary back and forth, bringing you your custom faster and reducing the amount of rejections.
Edit Theme:
Marking Theme:
Color Theme:
I have compiled a list of some commonly seen edit themes, marking themes, and color themes for the two item sets (Orange and Candy Cane). You are welcome to use any of the samples from the list, or you may enter your own when you submit your item.
From the beginning of the December holiday season till now, there were 871 Delicious Eggnog breedings submitted. We are happy to announce that we focused a massive artistic and financial effort toward this enormous queue and have... zero left in queue! That's right, all Eggnogs have either been completed or are already assigned to an artist to be completed.
We know you probably didn't want to wait 6-8 months for your eggnogs to come in so we prioritized them during December and January to ensure that they didn't end up taking forever, nor slowing down the rest of the breeding queues due to sharing artists with the BC team.
Back to business as usual!

Oh My...
Site Update
It was just brought to my attention that we have an outdated customs guide linked under the "Archives" tab.
I've moved this so it is no longer accessible, and am putting in a request for the link to be removed as soon as I've posted this =)
Sorry for any confusion this thread may have caused - the Knowledge Base has more up to date information, and I've got my fingers crossed to be able to update them further soon!

Any medium is acceptable as long as you showcase this season in some way and keep it Aywas-related as always. :3
This is also a starred (*) theme, meaning you can enter it even if you've won recently or plan on entering upcoming contests.
Official Aywas stock is not permitted for this theme.
Good luck!

Breeding Updates & Report Updates!
Site Update
We've had to make a change in regards to LBC breedings. If one or both of the parents is 75%+ edited, then the breeding will require both PSDs to be submitted. Please note, that this only applies when the parent-in-question is a G2+, as G1s that are 75%+ edited cannot breed to their original genus via LBC coins.
Example: Melo that is 50% edited is bred with a Melo that is 78% edited. You must send in PSDs for both. (Please send in PSDs to [email protected] with the email subject labeled with the custom ID the PSD is for)
NOTE: Teo and Faux G1s are the only exception where 75%+ pets can be bred to their original genus via LBC coins, however will still be required to follow the PSD rule outlined above.
If PSDs for these breedings are not, or cannot be submitted, you can either submit user predictions or request a refund for your breeding. This change is retroactive. As we come across breedings that need PSDs submitted, we will be refunding them if the PSDs are not found - so be sure to either check the "Will have predicts" option or send in your PSDs.
If you have a LBC breeding with a parent that falls under the above described situation and you do not have the .PSD files directly on-hand, please use this thread to make certain that we have the .PSD on file. Please don't assume we have the .PSD before checking!
To see if we have a site pet PSD, please check this spreadsheet. If the pet is listed on this spreadsheet, we do NOT have the .PSD file for it. If the pet has been released after the last updated date for the spreadsheet, please proceed with caution.
We are officially retiring the Silver Breeding Upgrade; it now opens to yield 3,750,000 BP. This means that you no longer need to attach this upgrade to SCC LBC breedings - just make sure that your breeding involves two of the same SCC species on the same line set. If the parents are so different that we cannot recognize them as the same line set, your breeding will be refunded.
We will refund any Silver Breeding Upgrades we find in queue as we come across them, though we recommend that you remove them yourself.
We made a small tweak to the Standing Stones Review page due to a user suggestion.
You can now view your submitted breedings by what is pending in queue, and what has already been assigned.
We also made a change to the item database pages for breeding add-ons!
Examples: Cool Blue Pet Carrier , Platinum Dollar
We're hoping this makes compatibility more understandable on those pages.
The "Report Violation" link at the bottom of each page has been changed to direct you to a KB article regarding contacting staff members.
We are no longer using the previous report feature that use to be linked at the bottom of each page. We prefer that you directly contact moderators (or in specific circumstances, admins). However, open reports from the old feature are still being seen to.
Please be sure to check the news post below this!
