Welcome to Gaia! :: ~*J.A.Evolving Pet/Item Guide*~ - Updated: 10/3/2008! =D

Rules

1. Be polite.

2. No flaming.

3. Do not criticize that this is "another guide". A friend asked me to for reasons I will not put here.

F.A.Q.

So, exactly what are evolving items?

Evolving items are items that change overtime. Once they hit they're final stage, all stages are unlocked.

So, how many stages does _____ have?

We won't know until it finishes!

Where can I get an evolving item and how much is it?

In the cash shop. They have all kinds of prices. You could also buy one in the market place from other Gaia Users.

How long does it take for one to evolve?

It's different for each one ^_^ While some seem to have patterns, others not so much.

What's happening to Timmy?

He's evolving after being put into a toxic bin.

Why does my item not have one of the poses?!

Chances are you have an newer generation of the item and thus, it hasn't hit that stage yet. Each item has a ceartain amount of time that needs to pass before they unlock all the stages. The earlier the generation you get, the quicker it'll hit it's "final stage" and all poses will be unlocked.

Will the Cash Shop items be there forever?

They will always be on Gaia, but the Cash Shop will remove some evolving items after a certain amount of time.

If an item is removed from the cash shop, is it gone forever?

It might go back into the cash shop eventually, but there is a chance it will not. Despite this, you could probably find one in the market place from another Gaia user.

Is there anything I have to do for my item to evolve?

Nope! It'll evolve automatically overtime, even if you just leave it in your inventory, house, or storage.

I hate my items current pose! How can I change it back?!

You can't. However, when an item hits it's "final" stage, all poses will unlock and then you'll have it back.

When are evolving item reports?

They're usually about once a week (And usually on Thursday), but not always.

Why didn't ______ evolve?!

Ceartain items evolve at ceartain times. Just be patient.

So, exactly what are generations?

The first time the item is in the cash shop, it is a "first generation". Once it evolves, a second generation of the item comes out and starts at that first stage, and so on. They are just different editions of an item, think of it like collector's cards when there are 1st editions and then other ones as well. There is no difference in the generations other than that newer generations take longer to evolve, however, they will all end at the same stage eventually.

Why do you have so many of the items in one post?! You should spread out more!

Actually, because of the fact that there are many evolution items to come, I put as many as I could in a post on purpose as to make sure I always have enough room to fit them all and won't have to move them around much.

Why don't you do predictions and stuff? All the other topics do!

As you said, all the other topics do. I'm not psychic, sure, I could say that the Fausto's bottle has evolved about every 2 weeks now, but that doesn't mean it'll continue on that. Several have seemed to be on a good pattern and then suddenly change. The point of this guide is for facts, not opinions or theories :3 However, you are WELCOME to discuss them here, I just won't list them. If you want to see listed theories and predictions, check out some of the other threads, but here, we'll make sure to display the facts, nothing more.

If I buy an earlier generation (like 3rd) and it hits the final stage, will the number be removed from it like the 1st generation?

Nope. It'll hit the final stage, but it will still say "3rd Generation" at the end. The reason the 1st generation never has a number is because it's the first razz

I really like an item's final pose and I have a 3rd gen. Will it eventually evolve to the final stage or no? / I really like an item's final pose, if I buy the latest generation of it, will it still go to the final stage?

Yes! No matter what generation you get, you will end up hiting the final stage eventually, it'll just take longer~
