All right! Lots of stuff to go through in this news post before Eri bombards you with the big February starter ;)
First, some updates to the Painted Breeding Coin! There's a brand new talisman stocking in the USD Shop that gives you a little discount on buying three PLBCs separately, for those who may be interested.
Also, two new add-ons have been released for the coin: the Painted Pen which lets you indicate three public PLBC artists you approve of having your breeding assigned to (like a lesser Artist Ticket, basically), and the Painted Gold, which opens the coin up to including Lunaris, Vion, Flux, Selkie, Serrul, Finn.
In other news, the Koaf, Serrul, and Selkie were added to the genera allowed to be bred with the coin without the use of addons. Xaocs, Neuras, and Violinns are the only genera excluded at the moment.
Our bundle of new Breeding Addons is in!
You can now get star/celestial themes, plushie themes, pirate themes, ocean themes, nature themes, music themes, elemental themes, and dragon themes with your breeding. Most of these stock in the BP Shop, with the exception of the Ocean, Music, and Element add-ons which are exclusive to the Random Breeding Addon.
The Metal Ball was a requested addon for Holiday Breeding Coins, which indicates to the artist that there should be no edits added to the bases. That's available for a minor amount in the BP Shop as well.
The Foo Fang is a special SCC species donated by Vulture! It is available in the USD Shop as well for $7.99.
It allows for 50% edits.
The Jeweled Crystal is saying goodbye to its old bases and welcoming in new ones!
These were made by Vulture and Liv.
New item! The Jeweled Hybrid Crystal works similar to the above. Here are the monthly bases for it:
This is in the USD Shop for $9.99. The bases were made by Miss Mally.
Firehazard has been coloring site-paid Jeweled Crystals, which you can buy (with their upload) for a Metal Paint Brush. Jeweled Hybrids and Foo Dogs both have a price of a Blue Paintbrush, so if any of that interests you, be sure to stop by. She's very productive and makes tons of designs!
As an aside, we know that some of you don't like the USD Shop, but you do need to consider this: the USD Shop has stabilized Aywas' rocky income for the past two months it's been open. Not only have we been able to pay large work advances to reliable members of the breeding team, but we've been able to fund everything the PBC team has been producing without having to limit the number of PBC breedings assigned a week to a budget. This is all good news and thanks to the stabilized income, and has made a huge difference in the labor we're able to afford.

Would it at all be possible to add the ability to the painted pen to choose either three you want, or three you wouldn't want? Personally I know there are far more artists I would love to have than there would be anything else, so being able to choose maybe one to avoid would draw me in to the addon a lot more than picking three I want. ~Ryu

People who don't like the USD shop are just upset that they can't buy anything from there, I believe, and that when the items from the USD shop are sold in user shops for GP, its way pricy. Thank you for pointing out how useful the USD shop is for keeping Aywas running smoothly; I don't think they truly understood that til maybe now.

I don't see why anyone would have rational objections to the USD shop - its vital use aside (and it's obviously working, praise the Powers), the only difference between it and purchasing GP is access to the specific items - and if someone wants them enough who cannot spend RL cash, they can always work something out with someone who can. Might be a good thread to have in Want Ads...

Complaining about the USD shop? I don't see the complaint, I mean... things in that shop are really cheap compared to their GP counterparts! I mean, you can get a breeding coin for about $12 dollars in that shop, while the cheapest coin that allows you to get a breedable offspring is at least $23 dollars if you're buying GP! I personally love that shop, and plan on buying from it some time =3

Oh, and a HBCC? FORGET IT! That costs a fortune! And here is an alternate one for only $10. The prices are extremely reasonable considering...
