December Lunaris + Koaf Update
Pets
The Narcissus Lunaris is the December 2013 birthday pet and can now be collected by those of you with a birthday this month! (Though you'll have to wait til your big day to actually take one home.)
If your birthday has already passed and you missed out on the Lunaris or collected last month's on accident, please contact Chelle (#7310). She is only handling December Lunaris refunds/exchanges at this time. :3
Thank you, and enjoy!
Also, one little clarification about the cute Koaf in the post below.
The Koaf is not an event pet -- everything about it is a permanent addition to the site. :3
Have fun cooking!

Baking up a new pet for the holidays!
Site Update
Ooh, something sure smells good!
Which one of you has been baking up a storm?! It smells like either cookies, cake, or some kind of sweet bread, and you should probably share with everyone.
Hey, it looks like there's a trail of Kitty Flour leading right to... Chaos' Gourmet Cooking!
With the power of a Slashbot, Coffee, Fly and Rinny (#1115) have literally cooked us up a brand new pet! They have been waiting very patiently for this genus to be released, and we finally got the recipe down pat for this trio!
Without further ado, we are excited bring to you...
... the delicious Koaf!
(Click the image above to download the PSD.)
The Koaf is classified as a Rare genus and it has its very own set of custom makers!
There are four Koaf Pans to choose from--Metal, Bronze, Blue and Gold, all of which allow the corresponding edit limits you're used to. But how you obtain these items is half the fun!
Koaf Pans can be cooked up via the Chaos Gourmet Cooking feature, but there are a few extra special requirements that I'd like to go over with you! If you've tried to bake before, you should know that following the recipe perfectly is important--otherwise things can turn out a little interesting.
*Note* If you're not familiar with Gourmet Cooking, take care to click on the Let Me Pick a Recipe button. If you choose the standard Gourmet Cooking button, it will throw you into a random gourmet recipe, and you might get stuck if it's a difficult one.
Koaf Pan Cooking
- Each pan requires your pet to be at a certain cooking level before you can bake it! Metal is level 50, Bronze is level 100, Blue is level 200 and Gold is level 300.
- All pan recipes require a standard set of six ingredients, plus some colorful toppings. The six ingredients you will need for every pan are:
A Kitty Tray, Meowr Sugar, Paw Butter, Koaf Egg Carton, Kitty Flour, and Spice Bottle.
- The additional colorful toppings you need come in the form of Icing and Whisker Sprinkles. There are nine Purrfect Icing items and ten Whisker Sprinkle items of varying rarities. Metal Koaf Pans require the least amount of toppings and the lowest rarity items, with the Bronze and Blue requiring different toppings of higher rarities. For the Gold Koaf Pan, you will need every topping!
Above is Purrfect White Icing, Multi Whisker Sprinkles, and Purrfect Black Icing.
- All of the ingredients/equipment are set as standard food items or cooking tools, so you'll find them in normal game play and will probably even cook some up!
- Again, Koaf Pans are creatable via Gourmet Cooking, and we suggest choosing the Let Me Pick a Recipe option so you can elect to make one (if your pet has a high enough level).
*Disclaimer* You will see these items come up in regular cooking recipes, but you will also receive them from cooking. We know it'll be a bit difficult to come by these items at first (as it always is when we add new food items to the system), but things should even out after the items have time to work their way in. Don't forget to visit Zave's Food, use your Grocery Bag if you have one, etc., to help out with collecting food items. :3
One item that you won't run into during baking is the Curious Milk Jug.
This will function as a random potion for the Koaf--but we need some colorations first, don't we? :3
*Click here to go to the submission thread!*
We also have a shiny new Cat Cookie Cutter, which is not in the Koaf recipes, but you will see it come up in standard cooking in honor of the Koaf!
Now, get your aprons ready, and please thank Coffee, Fly and Rinny for making this adorable creature part of Aywas! <3

Adopt a Custom Updates!
Site Update
The Adopt a Custom feature now has its own Knowledge Base article with some helpful information on the feature including content submissions and some FAQs! I hope this helps clear up some things for people who have asked for an information page regarding the feature, and encourages others to submit entries to the pets on the calendar! You can find the article right here!
I tried to think up enough information to cover all bases, but if there are any other questions regarding the feature that people have, post them in a comment here and I'll add them in as I see fit. Let's continue to make the feature a fun one for everyone to enjoy.
For those that are interested in submitting pets to the feature, please meander over to this thread, we're continually looking for pets for the feature! Unique customs only, and more details can be found there.
I am also looking for up to 12 helpers to be judges for the feature. This is a volunteer position to help pick pet page winners for the feature. Since I took Adopt a Custom over I haven't been sure of who was active or not, so I'm starting from a clean slate. For those that were previous judges, you are welcome to send me a message stating you still want to be a judge. I'm looking for active people who can judge each weekend, and with twelve we can properly designate a small group per day! If interested please email me at [email protected] and include a little information about yourself, your availability, and maybe even some of your own work, be it writing, coding, or art, so I know you'll be right for the job.
Again, any questions about the feature should be posted as a comment here. Thanks everyone! :3

Holiday Lane!
Site Update
Good evening, friends! I hope you have some warm clothes and a hot cup of tea or cocoa nearby, because we just received the weather report for the rest of December, and it looks like we might be snowed in for a while!
The Holiday Lane has returned for a month of enjoyment, merriment, and peppermint!
Your favorite treats have returned, along with our three main holiday items--the Snowball, Snowflake, and Candy Cane.
Snowball - r10 (Common).
Stock up on these to build a crazy snowman or arm yourself (aka, throw them at your friends! Snowball fights in good fun are something we encourage!). These will not be used in the Seasonal Shop, but they might come in handy for some raffles. *wink*
Snowflake - r30 (Uncommon).
While not very unique, since they all have the same image, these sparkling snowflakes will be used as the secondary currency in the Seasonal Shop. You will also be able to exchange them for Candy Canes.
Candy Cane - r70 (Super Rare).
Our favorite candy! These will be the main currency in the Seasonal Shop, so resist the temptation to gobble them up!
It also seems that there are some strange tracks appearing in the snow.
There are currently 20 pets for you to find in Holiday Lane, and more will be added frequently!
Here's a small sampling of the new creatures you might bump into on the holiday trail:
Want to see some of your holiday creations featured in the adventure region or in the Seasonal Shop?
Submit them here. :3
I will be doing the first batch of accepting this weekend, so you can look forward to seeing freshly baked pets uploaded soon!
The Seasonal Shop is scheduled to open on December 26th and will be open for a week, while Holiday Lane will be open through the end of the month, so you have plenty of time to collect all the goodies you can eat!
Happy adventuring!

Welcome to December!~*
Site Update
*Welcome to December, the most wonderful time of the year!*
Cuddle up with one of our beautiful GP Shop pets on a chilly evening this month!
And have one of our lovely new BP Shop pets light your way this season!
If you colored one of these perfectly themed pets, please contact Visark (#185) for your payment!
Make sure to send the PSDs for these pets in to [email protected] right away! Or I will magic them into coal.
Looking for a stocking stuffer for a pet or item collector? Have a potion lover or gambler on your list?
Why, then I recommend the Essence of December 2013, now stocking in the GP Shop!
This pretty little flower will change your active pet into one of the December monthlies shown above.
The premium monthly item is a Cart of Geodes and will hopefully assist you in treating yourself or a friend!
This item regenerates once a week and will yield 3 random geodes with every use.
Our monthly Lunaris is caught in a flurrious snowstorm, but will arrive as soon as possible, and we'll make sure it gets a nice warm welcome when it lands in our world for December babies! (No worries, if your birthday has elapsed, we will ensure that you receive your starry pet!)
The new monthly contests have been announced!
January Monthly Pets - BP Shop: Enter
January Monthly Pets - GP Shop: Enter
January Monthly Customs
Theme: Chinese New Year
Good luck with your entries!
Our favorite Nova custom items have moved to the Premium Shop, where they will reside for the full month of December. In January and February, they will migrate back to the GP/BP Shops.
We also have some extra special things in the air this month...
Ho ho ho, I have returned for another month of merriment!
Now, here's one Lunaris that can definitely handle severe snowy skies!
Make sure to visit Santa Lunaris every day in December at the Advent Calendar to collect a free prize!
Your favorite holiday greeting cards, the Merry AyMas Card, can now be found stocking in the BP Shop! When you select the Use option on the card, the user you send it to will receive a notification that says: (Sender name and ID) thinks you are special and wished you a Merry AyMas!! Stock up on these to send to friends and strangers alike to make their day a little brighter. <3
Coding Corner!
- Our pet uploader now works, hooray! It was a bumpy ride, but we got the pets home safely. :3
- We know that the site is experiencing lag (trust us, it's super fun to try and work through). Yasu is trying out some different solutions, so we'll try and get everything up to speed as soon as we can. He's playing around with disabling some things to see what kind of an impact that has on lag, so please bear with us while we pinpoint the problem(s)!
- Behind the scenes, we'll be very busy elves this month, working to polish things up and bring you some new surprises!
- Also, if you participated in NaNoWriMo, we haven't forgotten about you! Stay tuned for a news post dedicated to your prizes this week.
The snowy, peppermint-scented holiday adventure region will be released soon! We want to make sure it's in tip-top shape before letting you hooligans in! (I say that with love and include myself in the hooligan group.)
But we have opened up a path to a very special tree in the meantime...
The Holiday Tree has returned and is ready to watch over as many presents as you can tuck under it until December 25th!
(It is also linked up under Community.)
If this is your first Aymas and this gloriously decorated tree is new to you, here's the basics! On the main tree page, at a quick glance you can see how many gifts have been sent in total by all players site-wide, as well as how many you have waiting for you. Your button options are:
Give Present - I expect you'll be hitting this one a lot, so be gentle! You don't want to wear it out. ;) Clicking this button will take you to a screen where you can choose to gift either an item or a pet. From there, you can choose a specific player or a random one, decide if you want to be anonymous or not, select your gift, and enter a message, etc. There's also a handy dandy confirmation screen built in!
Holiday Tree Tip: When gifting an item, BP or GP, make sure you always select an item and specify a quantity of 1 or greater. You wouldn't wrap up money in a box and give it to someone, would you?! If you DO try to send someone an item without specifying a quantity, you will get an error before you make it to the confirmation screen, but it will also clear anything you've put in the fields, so take your time when filling the gift form out.
Also, I would suggest NOT using HTML in messages for now. If you have a design or PSD you are gifting someone, to be safe I would just paste the raw link in until I get the green light from Yasu.
Most Needy Stockings - This is a list of users that have the least amount of goodies waiting for them. Help bump them up off of that list!
View Your Gifts - Clicking this will take you to a page that displays the wrapped gifts waiting for you to open. You will only be able to open them anytime on or after December 25th!
Gift History - This tab will enable you to review all of the presents you've sent out, which should make crossing people off of your list much easier. Now you won't have to wonder if you already left a friend a gift under the tree. :3
Remember, you can send gifts all month, but they will not be openable until December 25th. ;) No pEEking.
If you have any problems with or suggestions for the tree, please let us know!
Now, let's get ready to have a very Merry Aymas!
- Jolly ol' Eri
