I feel like these have both been asked before but I'm having trouble finding a thread with a solid answer. So I was planning on making a steamworks pet maybe during Masquerade because I'm not 100% sold on the options currently but I just realized that I'm just in time to land on a relevant birthday for my pet instead, so I have two questions.

When is a steamworks pet's birthday? Will it be on the day they're fully built? (I'm aiming for December 31st) If I build my pet, and decide I like a different species better later, if I have them rebuilt into the new species will they keep their gear gender (and birthday, now that I'm thinking about it)? I feel like I'm gonna have to file a ticket about that one.

I transformed Evance into a steamworks pet and he kept his old birthday. If you build one from scratch, it'll have whatever birthday it was finished on.

As for your second question, I think it only keeps the gear gender if it was born as a steamworks pet, not transformed. I'm not 100% sure about that though, but I think that's how it used to work. The birthday will stay the same though.

Okay, thank you c: I should get my plans just in time to start building the next day then.

And I know about the gear gender, but I'm going to be creating it as a steamworks pet and then (potentially) changing it directly into another steamworks pet. Normally if you transform a pet it would keep its gender, but the previous gender was already a gear and I'm not sure if it would still work that way :x

Oh, I misread the second part of your post. ^^;

I'm pretty sure they'd just keep the gear in that situation because they were still born as a steamworks pet, even if it's not the original one they were born as.

Thank you ^_^ It sounds right to me, and I'd like them to keep the gear gender but at the same time it's not a huge deal since they're a fan pet for a character that I guess technically has a gender :P Thank you! c:
