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.

The star/celestial theme! I need tons of those even though I have like one certain breeding coin that I wouldnt use it on >_< Curses for not being able to purchase the amazing stuffies there. As for those who bash on the dollar shop, why? I, like you, can't buy/afford the items in that shop. But that gives no dang reason to hate on it just because you can't buy anything from there. Its pathetic to even bother, it brought in a LOT of revenue to the aywas team, without it, this site probably wouldn't have much longer to hang around. =_=

Also, the people who were discussing only things were being released to the USD shop?? Of the many breeding add-ons that were added, only three are exclusive to the USD shop, the rest... aren't even GP, but BP. It also alleviates the unbacked GP issue. I'm also sure they realize that they can't stuff everything in the USD Shop without causing major mayhem.

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.

@231030 - As with Raw customs, if a design hasn't cleared the queue before the species is rotated out, then you will be able to send me the crystal and I will make sure the pet is created for you =) Don't worry, safety nets are in place for this sort of situation!
