June 2016 Monthly Treasures are now available in the Cash Shop!


It looks like the forest fires are almost out, but there's still a heavy smoke lingering in the air. Open up a treasure and you could find one of the following!


Smokey Forest Backdrop Packs



Smokey Forest Foreground Packs


Smokey Plains Packs


Since the Yotes are continuing through June, you still have a chance of getting Bird Bones Treats from the monthly treasures!




Smokey Forest Backdrop (2 layers) and Smokey Forest Foreground (3 layers)


Smokey Plains Backdrop (3 layers)

This is also a heads up that burning items in the Forest Foraging Area and the entire Endangered Glade will be retiring in 24 hours.

Let me tell you something. This was me yesterday. This is me today. And by Thor’s hairy tits, this is going to be me tomorrow, so I may as well bash out a news post and have done with it.

As you all know I’m doing a creativity prompt. Here is the first. Oooh, I am a prompt, a prompt! The first prompt!!

I’ve been very pleased, yes, very pleased. Good entries, all.

Because it started in mid May it’s going to finish mid June. June 16th, to be precise. And get this. You can do a second entry and get a second waterfall. Woooaaah I can’t deal with it, wooaaahhhh!!! Woah. Woah. The waterfall(s) will be handed out AFTER the prompt has closed. This will be the case forever. After the prompt has closed. AFTER!!!

Now because it’s June first (don’t tell me it’s not or I will karate chop you) I’m starting a new prompt. You can find that juicy forum post here: I am the second prompt, the June prompt, click meeee!!

Growables are still a work in progress and in the interests of full disclosure, they will likely be so for some time to come. However, we feel that they are still functional and fun enough to go ahead with the Gold Growables ordering even though the feature is not at 100%.

At this time, we do not anticipate limiting growables in any way other than via the current limiting of growth slots in the garden and lagoon. Hopefully these restrictions can be loosened up in future when we have made some changes to the code and have a way of removing unwanted growables from the site via "turn-in" activities. However, we cannot promise that this may not change in future. As most of you know, from time to time we do tend to make big changes to features that means major restructuring ^^.

Color locking a layer to a single color is not available at this time. However, some layers such as foliage on plants may be configured to always have a green "tint" for example.

A "gold growable" is a growable item where the base is provided by the site and the markings are created by Hibbary based on your order! Each order consists of 3 markings that are used together on the same base to form the master seed owned by the commissioner. You provide the name for your marking set! You can sell copies of your gold growable seed or egg.

Currently there are 4 bases you can order.

Drapurr



Fleur



Spring Peony



Spring Rose


Gold growables cost 60 beads and 3 copies of the master seed will be provided with the order, along with the original master seed. The commissioner can sell copies of their seed in the Special Shop, with a 2 bead tax being collected by the site for each seed generated (we originally anticipated offering them for 50 beads, but the time required and complexity of adding each new growable to the site means that we can only offer them at the 60 bead price point).

An "Eye" marking is include with the Drapurr and Fleur, and a "Foliage" marking is included with the Peony and Rose (foliage on the rose and peony are tinted green). If you wish to request a marking that extends outside of the lines (like glitter/mist/flames) it will be an additional 5 beads per marking. These markings will have a random opacity with each completed growable. Extra markings above the first 3 may be purchased for 10 beads each for markings that stay within the lines, and 15 beads for markings that extend outside the lines. The artist has the right to reject any markings that are overly complex.

The commissioner should be as specific as possible when requesting their markings, and providing image references is encouraged. All markings, however, are "artist's interpretation" only. That means that a commissioner cannot ask for changes unless the markings they receive are fundamentally different from what was requested (for example, the user asked for spots and received stripes instead). The artist and site staff reserve the right to reject any markings that they deem to be unsuitable for any reason. Therefore if a commissioner feels that they they will be disappointed if the markings are not exactly as they envisioned, we ask that they NOT order a gold growable.

A user cannot "own" a marking - for example, more than one user can request leopard spots. Each user's version of leopard spots will be drawn individually, but for obvious reasons there may be a strong resemblance.

As an additional note for new users who may not be familiar with "gold" customs, these items are completed by Hibbary in between official site work requirements. This means that while in some cases they can be completed very quickly, in other cases it may take quite some time to receive your finished item.

If you have questions regarding Gold Growables please submit a Help Desk and we would be happy to help!
