Site Update
Good evening everyone, I hope you're having a lovely weekend! First up I would just like to pre-announce that we will be having a USD shop sale starting tomorrow, the details will be in the monthly news post.
I would also like to announce that in the process of making everything more balanced the GCC and MDT tickets knowledge base has been updated to reflect the new payment methods. If you are interested in joining either team for GP or Artist Credit make sure you send me a PM when you apply so that I know that is what you have chosen since we are currently not accepting USD artists.
A note to previous artists, prior to this you could get any item with your artist credit, this has been adjusted as well to balance with the way the credit works for other site artists. Any credit earned from this day on must follow the typical Artist Credit rules as listed in the knowledge base article.
We're trying something new with the Rusted Breeding Coins! You can now find them in the GP Shop for 25gp! This price may be temporary as we gauge what effect this will have on the market, but they will remain in the GP Shop until further notice!
The Alt Neura was released a little bit ago so I just wanted to clarify some things about it! This rare species cannot be obtained by dawn crystals. It has it's own custom maker so it can only be created by using the Gilded Neura Egg. It is also going to be incredibly rare, however it will be available more than just the previous contest!

Lovin' all the updates~
Site Update
Greetings and salutations children of Aywas! The staff has asked me to pass on their sincere apologies for the Valentine’s shop being so delayed. We have a lot of updates for you tonight, so please make sure you read the entire post!
Without further ado, I give you my pride and joy, the Valentine’s Seasonal Shop!
We have a new site background for you; here’s a small preview of the design. This will be available with a full repeat of the background, or just a top repeat where it only goes across the top of the screen.
There's the normal array of energy items, battle items and fauna, as well as the Moon Balloon HA item. The Love Food Basket is a regenerating item that regens once a week and gives you a random "love" food item. You'll also notice some returning favorites, such as the LP #9 custom creator and Love Story breeding add-on.
We also have a small selection of Valentine's themed pets.
We also have 3 lovely new designs available for the Love Potion #9!
The shop will be closing in one week, on Saturday March 24th at 11:59pm AST!
Onto some exciting news on behalf of Kita and myself!
We both know that we don't have the time to dedicate to the queues as well as our other site responsibilities, so we have decided to pass our queues onto other helpers! You can view who controls which queues now via This new KB Article. Please only contact them for new issues, any old issues that you have contacted Kita or myself with will continue with us unless you are told otherwise.
HB/EBC/HBC - Creek (#10084)
LBC/Rusted/Holiday Mistletoe - SG (#36207)
Scribble/Smudged Scribble - Juke (#7625)
Half LBC/HBC/BC - Kita (#3988)
MBC/RBC/Derp - Chelle (#7310)
SBC - Thalsha (#7935)
PLBC/PMBC - Revie (#35743)
Blind Date/Eggnog/Mininog - Allysun (#317)
Grand Edit Potion/Alidae Egg/Transitional Fossil Egg/Dragon Lotus/Neura Embryo - Aros (#4353)
PBC remains with Vampi (#12221) and Speedy Dating Slip remains with Kaiyo (#489)
We know that this is a fairly large change, and we hope that it will improve the turn around for certain queues. Please keep in mind that some queues will still remain slow due to lack of artists, but several of the queues should be able to go faster with this update.
Please make sure you turn in any PSDs you'd like to submit for Dani's tribute by March 31st at 11:59pm AST.
A small note on Site Elf applications. You may now apply if you have DNCs against you! If you have DNCs against someone else, you will have to remove them to apply. We hope this change allows people who wanted to apply but couldn't, because of DNCs, to apply. Please keep in mind the DNC's and any past behavior will still weigh against your application, but we understand that people can grow and mature, so we no longer want to permanently block out everyone.
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN....MAYDAY!
A change from previous years is that this year you will PM Marjo (#5741) NOT KAIYO with your sketches for approval.
All PNGs are due by May 25th at 11:59pm AST and PSDs must be uploaded by May 29th at 11:59pm AST. See the times below for how egg claiming and credit will work.
May Day will run from May 31st - June 3rd, with June 4th being the normal credit day.
USD Mayday credit and egg claim begins 11:00pm May 31st AST
Teo box opens for claim 12:00am AST April 1st (1 minute after 11:59pm May 31st AST)
- We are allowing Teos, Snoodles, Faux, and Oët!
-We are allowing very few silvers! I will not be accepting a dozen Teos that only have the tails left.
-The sets should be between 50%-75%. If your set is spectacular I will accept less edits.
-You must PM Marjo with a sketch for the Teo Team to approve! If you send her a finished product without doing this first, we do not have to accept it. If you make more sets than the ones we approve you to do, we do not have to accept them. (this includes if you have already PM'd me!)
-You must also send Marjo examples of your shading and coloring, and if you have done any previous sets.
-All sets must be finished and the PSDs uploaded by May 25th.
-A set is 5 custom pets with identical edits, all colored uniquely. Then you are also permitted 1 unique that you can turn in at that time or at a later date.
-All applications must be PM'd to Marjo with the Subject line: Mayday 2018 - [email protected] Of course replace the e-mail with your PayPal.
We are offering more payment options this year, so please read very closely! You can choose one of the following per set! So if you do multiple sets, you can mix and match!
- $50 Paid after May Day
- 100gp + 5 SP Paid once the set is finished
- No base pay, however you are granted a 75% completely unique of any of the species creatable this May Day. (You are welcome to sell this slot as well)
- 1 May Day Egg for the $50 Day. If you do two sets, then you can trade both payments in for 1 May Day egg for the first day!
All payment options still get the 30% extra edited unique, as well as are eligible for sell out bonus.
The sell out bonus will work the same as it has been. Should your set sell out on Day 1 you get $75, Day 2 is $50 and Day 3 is $25.
This is also your Official Reminder to collect any and all PSDs from The Last Teo Sale, because once we start uploading PSDs, these will go away! So collect them again just to be safe!

"I went by to check on Miksa, and found some papers regarding new pets scattered about her room. The poor dear doesn't seem to be sleeping well recently, going out and looking for something all day and all night... I tried to get her to talk to me, but she seems determined to handle whatever it is on her own. If you see her, tell her to take care of herself, will you?"
In addition, the December, January, and February pet coloration submissions forum raffle has been drawn!
Congratulations to December's winner Xigzagoon (#13145) for winning a Nova Custom Crystal!
Congratulations to January's winner Dimitri (#9529) for also winning a Nova Custom Crystal!
Congratulations to February's winner Time (Still LLing) (#77837) for winning a Bronze Custom Crystal!
If you want to design some Adventure pets, go and post them in their respective threads here! There's also a chance that the designs accepted from that forum will go into the Pet Shop! Remember, you can earn SP!
If your design is now released as a site pet please contact me, Kousei (#25044), for your free copy.

Loss of a friend.
Site Update
Good evening, Aywas, it is with a somber note that I come to you tonight. I am going to preface this with a trigger warning for death, so please only continue reading if you feel confident you can handle this type of news.
It is with a heavy heart that I am here to tell you that Dani/Kayla-la (#48591) has passed away. For those of you who don't know, Dani was one of our longest standing site artists and a close friend with a large portion of the site.
We ask that you please bear with us as we try to cope with this and ask that you keep discussion of the circumstances off site. We are planning something to honor her memory but it will take some time to get everything ironed out and we will make another news post with that information when we have it.
Dani always wanted to help others, so that is what we are currently planning. We are hoping to hold a donation drive in her honor, if you would like to donate a PSD or create a PSD for her please send me Kaiyo (#489) a PM. If this is a pre-existing PSD please ensure it has not ever been sold or used before, and there can be no rules attached.
Please keep the comments decent, and remember to abide by the ToS. I am keeping comments open, however please be advised this one time I will delete comments if they violate ToS.
Edit: Please do not post on her profile. Please be respectful of her lair partner

You get a love letter, you get a love letter, you
Site Update
Happy Early Valentines Day!
Some of you may have already noticed but the Love Letters are now stocking in The Corner Store and are found in every Adventure Zone! The rarity has been lowered so you also have a chance to cook some up!
For those of you who have never shared the love with us, Love Letters are the Valentines Currency! You use them right from your inventory to send a letter with a message to another member of Aywas. There is also an option right on the forums to send a Love Letter!
You get 1 point for every unique love letter you send, and 1 for every unique love letter you receive!
So if I send a love letter to Eve, we both get 1 point.
If Eve sends one back, we both get another point!
If I decide to bury her in my love and send her 5 more letters all with super amazing gifs, we get no more points but she at least knows how much I love her in animated form!
View your Love Letters (LL's) sent and received on our Love Letters page!
Do remember to not put anything rude, sexual, upsetting, or that violates the ToS in these letters. If you receive one that is, please report it to a moderator and include a timestamped screenshot.
To celebrate the start of the festivities, tomorrow you can find a free Love Letter in the Advent Calendar!
