PMBC alert!

Site Update

Goto News Post

The PMBC queue is scheduled to run out of breedings in approximately a week and a half. It's finally gotten over the Mayday submissions! Let's make sure those artists don't run out of assignments to do, shall we?

Until 11/2, 11:59 PM, every purchase of $25 will come with a free PMBC. For GP, this is instant (note that $25 = 26 GP). For USD items, send me a message with the total of your purchase to redeem your PMBC(s).

Keep the artists busy!

Want a little preview of what we've been doing? Our programmer is busy recoding the breeding section of Aywas so that add-ons are locked to their compatible coins, meaning you'll never attach the wrong add-on again!

Frankenstein's Lab

Site Update

Goto News Post

As some of you have noticed, it looks like Frankenstein's Lab has flickered to life!

Visit the lab to create pet projects with everything from Spooky Seashells to Glow in the dark Grins. Hover over each item to learn what quantities you'll need to create a particular pet.

There are 12 lab pets for you to breathe life into, but here's a small sampling of what you'll be able to craft:

The lab will be open for approximately two weeks, so you will have plenty of time to nab the creatures you desire. :3

Enjoy!

Museum Collection

Site Update

Goto News Post

A new Museum Collection has appeared!
Our curator now seems to be looking for the following 10 gatherables from the Haunted Lake:

In exchange for them, you will receive a Dusty Cauldron:

You will need this item to participate in our Cauldron custom feature, which will be opening during the last days of the month. If you are not able to claim a custom from the feature, don't worry! The Dusty Cauldron will be transformed into an "openable" goodie bag item for you to enjoy. :3 More details about the Cauldron custom feature will be revealed as we near the end of the month.

The museum curator isn't the only one after your Haunted Lake gatherables...

Yasu's tinkering around in Frankenstein's Lab, so I will let you know as soon as it's completely up and running! *u* Get your science gloves ready!

Aywas GP and FelisFire Orb Transfers

Site Update

Goto News Post

Good evening! :3

I wanted to take a moment to clarify a little-known service that Aywas and FelisFire offer since they are sister sites. FelisFire Orbs to Aywas GP can be exchanged at a 1:1 ratio by site administrators. This can go either way -- you can turn GP into FF Orbs, or you can turn FF Orbs into GP.

How does it work?
Good question! This is manually handled by site administrators, and is something we've been doing for a few years. Instructions can be found under Other Site Trading here as well as in the Knowledge Base here.

Following some recent staff changes on FelisFire, there was some logistical confusion around handling these transfers but we should be back on track now. If you have a pending GP/Orb transfer request and haven't been contacted by me or Feeshy this month, please send me a PM. Thank you! n_n
