Call for PBC Artists!
Site Update
Well, it's that wonderful time of the year again folks! The time for snow, mugs of cocoa, and that's right PBCs!
As Platinum Breeding Coins and Talismans will be returning to the GP shop in just a few hours I'm sure you will agree that it's time to expand the team of artists.
If you are interested in joining, please have a look at this thread. I don't yet know how many artists we will hire, but the first few will most likely be added this week, and then a few more throughout the course of the month.
If you are waiting for your breeding to be completed, here is the current status thread where you can check your place on the waiting list, and this is the switches thread, which I would recommend you to keep a close eye on.
So crack out the fuzzy scarves, mittens, and styluses and let's make some magic!

Koaf Cooking Update
Site Update
Just a quick update to let you guys know that the Cat Cookie Cutter and the Kitty Tray have been given charges! The cookie cutter has 5 and the tray has 10, so that should help with your recipes! :3
Someone--definitely not me or anything *cough*--neglected to give the items charges from the start. All new items and existing items have been updated with the proper charge amount.
The Koaf also now has its very own Knowledge Base article!
Enjoy!

Art Gallery
Contests
The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Business Cards! You guys did some wonderful branding and I got a kick out of so many of the jobs you invented! :3
Here are our featured winners:
They won:
The current theme is Feast!
This can be any medium and can feature anything from Aywas food to NPCs or pets dining.
(Official Aywas stock/images are not allowed for this theme. I'll be clarifying that in all art gallery themes from now on, as there are some themes that Aywas official art is okay for!)
Good luck!
My cable/internet has been throwing a tantrum all day because of the snow and cold weather.
But! I'm going to do my best to get some new pets into Holiday Lane this evening if it'll cooperate. :3

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
