I don&;t really think that the wording of the question "I want to buy a specific amount of CSC and/or a monthly GA. Is there an easy way to do this?" really matches the answer. Something along the lines of "I want to buy a set amount of CSC and/or a GA every month. Can I have this done automatically/can I subscribe/can I set up automatic billing..." would be better in my opinion.
"I want to buy a specific amount of CSC" sounds more like "I want to be able to buy 1650 CSC or 2222CSC or some other specific number" or at least that&;s how it sounds to me.

I agree with this and also suggest that you add something about how "CSC can only be purchased in specific increments." under the current header because the denominations are listed for the gift cards, but I'm not seeing it for buying CSC (which would be my fault if I just missed it.)

It would be nice to consistently mention when a feature costs CSC- you have a cost down for pet names, but it would be nice to mention that overlays and custom wearables also have a CSC cost. I remember my roommate mentioning trying to make a custom wearable in the future and not realizing there was a CSC cost associated with it, so it would be nice to mention it in the description. I know the pages themselves state somewhere about the costs, so it's just a small thing.

That's a good point! I've added CSC notes into those two sections (i'll push that next time I have a lot to push).

I'm going to make some lunch and will sit down and start tackling to 'to be added' when I finish. Keep up the great suggestions guys.

I think that's all I can suggest for now. If I think of anything else, I'll pop back in the thread to make sure no one has suggested it and ping you if it hasn't been mentioned. :)

I really don't like that everything is on one page.. it kinda makes me give up on reading, too many letters and words in front of me..

You can add the Bathtub daily, Raffle Ruffie, about buffs.. there are more than only the quests (like the quick feet now), the pets leash in pets, Monday's rain and Tempest (because every few Mondays someone asks about the rain), all the [dance/kiss/etc.= username] in the forums and the status, the users colors and their types (red, blue, purple), maybe dailies list?, the bakery.

Also about the pets colors, maybe put an example for each color with a random species, because they need to actually see the color and what design it offers.. the name is not really helpful.

It's going to stay one page because it makes it SO MUCH BETTER to search. You can jump between sections easier because of this. Like someone might want a specific thing and can just control f to find it. Don't worry though, I'll add images and what not to break up some things later (that's the cosmetic changes mentioned in the first post).

I'll def be pinging you and when Destiny and I add in all the suggested sections!

I understand! no problem, I know it'll be awesome at the end :)

Btw, What is the pet zapper and what does it do? It also zap your HA during Morostide and gives you a skin.

Someone probably mentioned it and I didn't see, but under special pet species it's should be cadogre and endeavor as being obtainable during the Masquerade, not escalade.

Strongly approve of the FAQ! I personally have found a lot of things on Subeta to be pretty confusing and there doesn't seem to be a central area to find information that I know of, so the FAQ is really really nice for new players, or players returning from a hiatus.

The thing about Subeta I've personally always found the most confusing is the events, but that may just be me. That seems to be handled a little with the Subetapedia as well :D

The FAQ is looking really good so far!

first i love it and i've learned a few things, you guys have done a very through and complete job, i do believe ore people will stay when they check out subeta because of this, i'd go as far to give it it's own spot on the map, so to make it not just public but very public and easy to find most important!! :) :) and i'm posting this issue only because the question arose for me and there wasn't an answer there, ok in the question .. What is Alchemy? How do I create items? How do I level up my alchemy level? i clicked the link "The Alchove, and it said "only zombies allowed, of course and i wondered if i could put on a zombie skin in wardrobe and enter, i'm pretty sure i could. it's easy for me to find out, just thought you may have wanted the answer there and informative as much as possible, ^^

Oh yeah, that's a great point. I'll make a note to add in how to put on your zombie skin to go underground since it just says "a zombie only area underground" right now. That'll be in my next round of changes!

And yeah, I plan on including the link all over so it'll be easy for people to find (or link to people)! :D

Besides that, great job :D

Your very first "clicking here" doesn't link you to the correct section, it brings you right back to where you were.

In What are the restrictions when it comes to naming pets?: another pet, (usern -> skip the comma Rules Center-> this is your first reference to the Rules Center and should be linked and Inappropriate Pet and Minion names should also be linked. Let there be no chance of confusion even if it's laziness-caused about the Rules.

In I don’t like my pet’s name anymore. Can I change it?: CSC-> this is your first mention of CSC in this section so you should spell it out Cash Shop Credits in addition to leaving the acronym for Find to latch onto. As a rule I would not rely on any new user to automatically know what any acronym means and I would not rely on the new user to read all sections, do a Find, or even follow links to all sections to find out what an acronym means. delete all items and weapons-> and special weapons? A new user isn't going to distinguish between Armory which is common to all pets because chances are they only have one pet that can fight and which won't be deleted, and the Throwing Vials/Shards/Dark Element Potions

In What are the special pet colors and how can I get them?: You can always enter the Potion Lottery for your chance at getting a potion!-> this is really random and makes it seem like only color fill potions are available via Lottery. Also, some special pet colors come via Elixirs so this seems to emphasize Potions to the mind of a New User when if they were to read further they will find there are many other ways to get special pet colors.

In What are some of the special species of pets and how do I get them? Aeanoid: also available via Schematic the only way to get one with cog-gender Cadogre and endeavor: pretty sure these guys also have either elixirs or special magical toys

fixed the link / added link to rules! As far as ‘first place mentioning it’ for csc, remember this is not the final order (this is mentioned in the original post on this thread). I did anchor link CSC first time mentioned in sections to down to the CSC question.

I moved potion lottery to the end of the section on special colors. Also added a question about elixirs. :)

‘first place mentioning it’: no matter what order you use, I think you should spell it out in each major section. IMO do not rely on a user to know which section you first defined an acronym, and do not rely on them being able to guess which of all the sections above the section they are reading has the definition.

ForEx: You don't define sP at all in the currencies section, nor do you also give the common abbreviation WT for Wizard Tokens. Since CSC is a currency and is something you can Trade it's mysteriously absent from this section, a section where you might expect it to be defined and spelled out if you hadn't already seen it above as it is currently located now. ...see what I mean?

In What do minions do?: ****Minions help keep your pet happy->Minions keep your pet happy. It is not like pets will at all be unhappy if they have a minion.

In What is the pet zapper and what does it do?: ****zapper effects do not have an Undo. ****hmmmm, this mentions gender change as an option, but I'm pretty sure this is not listed as one of the means by which you can change your pets gender when you talk about Gender Berry, Schematics, and Genderless Berry ****pretty sure 'totally destroy minion' is still an option here and not just 'morph minion to some other minion'.

There is a disconnect between Great Pandemic and Survival, a new user is not going to be able to tell they're the same thing. In particular, Great Pandemic only appears in Achievements __________- Weapons are also available via Battle Quest. The majority of the nicest weapons are usually only gettable by fighting for them with a strong pet or by buying them from other users.


In What do all the options in Quick Stock mean?: ***from your shop menu->from each of your shop's menus ***your current shop->this shop

In What's the free shop: ***there is also a five minute wait between purchases->implies there are other terms and conditions and that something is being purchased. Should be instead "there is a five minute wait between grabs"


This is a pet peeve of mine writ large in "What is Alchemy"" ***someone in Subeta didn't use a thesaurus and so the word alchemy gets used for two different things, Scrolls and item manufacture. A new user who Finds and gets this result first (and there's no way to know they won't because we don't know your order yet) will go WTF if they want to create a scroll instead of what you've got here.

Entirely missing from this section that tells you how to make items, is that you can also make items from Secluded Shrine.

In Where is the wardrobe and how do I use it?: ***the word "layer" has two different meanings in Wardrobe. There's where it is vertically from a graphic arts/colorforms point of view (a datastack location, which is a dragging and dropping thing), and there's where it is on the avatar (a pre-defined Drawer, which is a Filter thing) ***cleavage->cleavage or pecs ***layer wiz->layer whiz

In What are hexes and how do they affect my avatar?: ***no mention of hex prevention items is odd


In How can I customize how the site appears for me?: ***you link to a thread. I don't like this as a matter of style. The whole point of this entire FAQ is to not require new users to look all around the site's forums to find information. If this was OK then this guide is entirely unneeded. This guide also makes this information proof against any further dataloss from sudden Forum changes. ***sometimes you can even get->you can even get. That is to say, this is not chancy, you can in fact get themes this way.

A verbal warning do not count towards your actual warning count THIS IS AN ACCOUNT KILLING LIE!!!! Bad , bad . Verbal warnings do accumulate into real warnings in a count-able manner. They DO count.
