Search Options ►PBC Artists Conversion
Site Update
The new (almost complete) PBC Panel is seeking existing and new artists to join the PBC team. The payment for PBC artists is a flat $20 for one offspring and $30 for two offspring (Life Seed).
If you are a PBC artist that had a higher rate negotiated with Vampi, don't worry, as we still have previous payment records intact. If you had a lower rate than the new flat rate, congratulations as you just got a raise. We will also be introducing new breeding add-ons that allow an artist a bonus, and the usual GCC/MDT tipping feature is available through PBC Panel.
Everyone is welcome to join the PBC team, so if you would like to apply then go ahead and do so. The new deadlines that we will be enforcing with the PBC panel is one breeding completed per two months minimum and when you claim a job, it must be completed within one month. We feel that these deadlines are fair as it allows an artist to take a month break in between breedings if desired.
We are in the process of integrating the panel with the queue. It will allow artists to claim the oldest job that they are listed as a preferred artist for. This upgrade will permit the users to select artists (and change them) whenever they want from their Standing Stones view of the breeding.
Here is the integration schedule:
1. Starting April 12 - Artists may start joining the team.
2. Starting April 16 - Players will be able to go to their PBC breedings in the Standing Stones and select their desired artists. Update your breedings as new artists are accepted throughout the week (or, you know, whenever).
2. Starting April 20 - Artists will be permitted to claim the oldest breeding that has them listed as a preferred artist. This means that no one loses their spot in the queue.
Re-working this queue over to the new PBC Panel will take a while and we expect there will be some bumps along the way, but ideally this will improve the PBC experience.

What about a pbc that was assigned to an artist 4 months ago but they never updated anything?

Thank you for implementing the change!! It's nice to see cooperation on the pbc issues, and hopefully the new system will help to lessen the queue a little!

So something will be done about those that had used Artist Tickets for listed breedings?

Aww darn, why is is you're always open for hiring when I can't apply yet? xD
I have until May before I can apply for any open PBC positions....orz
But on the other side of things, this sounds pretty nice.

I think Slash said Atist tickets are going to be coded in so you only have to pick 1 artist instead of the mandatory 3, so it should stay the same with the new system if you submitted an artist ticket with your PBC.

You can choose any amount but the minimum is three. For Artist Tickets we need to code them in as an override in the artist selection area.
