Neo and Gaia chased me away with inflation and general asshattery. This place and peoples is nice and cozy. I will hole up in here. My bearings are all over the place. I like octopuses. Good god there are a lot of octopuses here. There has to be vaguely over 9000 variations of pets and... pet. pets. Pet of pets. That I like so I gave up halfway and will decide in two weeks time when the pound becomes accessible or the 8 days??? it will take me to get a Glacier Potion. I was hoping I would be able to read the rest of the tutorial without having to complete that step first /sadfayce
There is a art sale for actual monies board. I am excite. Mebbe I try. NuP nostalgia.
Welcome to Subeta!
You mean minions? Yeah, we have a lot of those. Sadly the only octopus pet is Experiment . It looks like this:

Shows how much I know about sea life... ;]
If you make a post in the adoption forum there might be someone willing to adopt it and gift it to you. (link) Subetans are generally very helpful, so it's worth a shot. ^^
Ah yes, I did read a thread or two of someone trying to do just that, but most users have filled slots; I wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone XD I intend to have only one pet (if that's even possible; probably not) and I'm partially set on a Glacier :3 BUT THERE'S SO MANY UGH.
It is hard to just have one... I have 41 and there's still pets I would like to have.
Still, some people manage and I sort of am in awe of them.
I promised myself I would no longer indulge the hoarder/collector thing anymore because I don't ever have the earning capacity or tenacity or commitment to maintain that habit :P It seems like the morphing... elixirs here are rather affordable, too. Though I do wish a pet could own several minions. By several I mean a thousand.
I might just go ahead and start a minion gallery. I'm doing the thing again aren't I. Goddammit.
I won't judge. At least pixel hoarding takes up no space in your home.
Pets have their own inventories, called "treasure chests", you could store minions there. I don't think there's an upper limit for how many TC slots you can buy. Some of my pets have a couple of hundred, so you should be able to stock a good amount if you wanted to display them with your pet...
/heavy breathing
I saw some pets with that and thought it was just a pet page description thing. Where do I buy those and how much do they cost? Is it something I can see only when I have a pet? If it's too expensive I probably won't. I want to make my credits count XD The July'11 collectible was just conveniently released with that octopus item. Is it true I can pick any item I want, or is it random? Also should I wait for the usershop price to come down or is it better to just purchase it from the cash shop straight?
You can pick the one you want. You could wait a bit, some go down while others stay the same. It'll be around until the 31st.
When you have a pet, you go to the Your Pets page, then click the edit symbol/arrow in the upper right corner of the pet's box. You'll se a drop down menu with one of the options being Treasure. That'll take you to the TC page and from there you can arrange and buy more slots. They cost 100k a pop, which isn't much around here. You get 3 free and there are Random Events that give more too.
Welcome to Subeta! Your art is pretty gorgeous! :D sP is pretty easy to make (especially if you sell art for sP), so once you've played for a bit longer, pet treasure spots (the items on their page) aren't that expensive :)
Hope you stick around!

Thank you :D I've mostly wended my way around by now. And I've finally gotten a pet so that I can access the rest of the site. I'm trying to avoid forums for the time being at least until I've settled in a bit more (gotten way more cash)
The art forum is a bit daunting because of the number of great artists I won't be able to cope with there. They're giving away better stuff than I can do for free XD So I probably won't be selling anything anytime soon.
Also why does my HA keep showing up bald on the forums...
I see you hair fine, did you recently change your HA? It is possible there's a small cache delay on parts of the site, so you aren't seeing the updated image
A lot of artists give away things now and then to promote their work I guess? There are great artists who give away art - but that's not to say their artwork would not fetch a very nifty pricetag if they sold it :) Your artwork looks great, so don't be shy ^__^
Don't be shy to make use of the community here though, as a newbie, people are pretty happy to offer help :)

Ah, I see :3 Well I have the month to dig my heels in and see what is appropriate to charge for my stuff then! I also need to get used to a whole new set of rules for selling drawings... unless they're pretty much the same as Gaia. The 'no posting images bigger than THIS SIZE' thing is throwing me off a little, since some of the threads don't seem to be adhering to it or maybe my understanding of it is off.
Thanks again for the welcome! Still bald eheh. Posted on other threads after making this one, that shows with my most recently updated av. Came back here and found that thing instead XD But at least it appears right to you :)
You could try viewing your HA (the image by itself) and hard refreshing it to see if would give it a boot to update.
I'm not too clear on the finicky details of the art board as I haven't been there in a while to try save myself some sPs :9 If you're ever not sure, you can also file a ticket to ask. Our User Admins are pretty prompt to reply (it's not like the Neo system), so it's very easy to ask questions if you aren't sure of something :)

Ah yes I ctrl F5'd but it didn't do anything. It seems to have righted itself after the day though XD
It's comforting to know that there are active mods on-site actually talking to the people instead of the impossible-to-reach-damn-near-anyone ticketing system that people have to discuss ways to bypass in order to get your stuff done. Thank you :)
