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.

Could we assign a few more people to Everglori and the Copyright forums...? I mean, it's my fault making a JC design that might have copyright troubles, I know, but I placed it into queue on January 8th. And if I won't be able to make that Insi due to this delay, I'm going to be a little disappointed.

I love the idea of the painted pen but is there a list of the plbc artists somewhere that I've missed? I think I could only name 3 of them in total just from poking around the boards. XD

My only caution is that the USD shop doesn't become the focus of the site. I've seen many sites that start only releasing USD items and it really takes alot of the fun out of playing. I'd just like to see a good mix of items released for USD, GP and BP.

I agree with Wisp/Lei. If it helps the site, fine, its basically an advance on cash but for less cost of purchasing the item if it were gp. If every update from now on is something in the USD shop...that's annoying. I've also seen sites where it has become a cash shop haven and not a lot of other updates goes towards other parts of the site. I hope this new income helps aywas focus on other parts of the site that really needs help, though I hope it also tries to find other ways of making money other than just sticking in items with x custom base or breeding. To those who say "I can't see why anyone would object", you probably didn't play a site where it started to focus on USD only items and nothing else. And I don't like or dislike it, nor I care immensely because it doesn't effect my play style, but at least there's still an option to buy at gp price from user shops.

Doesn't purchasing GP support the site? I'm confused. I didn't even know there was a cash shop lol. Oh well. It's not like I could ever get anything. With the inflation of BP and holiday shop things, and even GP..Whew. This used to be my least favorite game until I found out I could send all the orbs I earned on FF over to here. Then I found out that the prices were mostly too much for me. I don't have anything against the usd shop...just don't have a job or any form of income really sucks on sites like this.

I agree with Wisp/Lei & DonutFish I really hope that this site isn't going the way of new USD item only other then tiny updates elsewhere. I too have played on a site that the game stuff goes out of control (aka way high) and then the all the really cool stuff comes out at USD. I mean look at the past event shops of the past yr and compare them with ones before that and their prices go up and up and up and items to get stuff get harder to get. I mean it's really taking the fun out of playing here when stuff becomes impossible to get. I used to collect all event stuff but now I have to settle for what tiny bit I can get because stuff have become just way over priced. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against the USD shop and if it helps the site then great I just hope that the site's focus doesn't become a site where the best things are only released for USD.

Oh my gosh, it's a warhorse. I love it, all of these bases are so cool.
