FAQ

Q: When will your first sale thing be?
A: not sure yet, but i'll post on the front page with plenty of notice when i've decided!

Q: How much will a bottle cost?
A: 1k due to the interaction (with the treasure hunting and such) which requires a little extra work on my part.

Q: Will these blobu's be roleplay pets? Roleplay required?
A: They will never be roleplay required! but... roleplay is NEVER discouraged!! If you do decide to RP, then you may be awarded some special surprises such as free treasure hunting passes, runes, color potions etc.. maybe even extra special final stages!

Q: Will there be a place to RP or a guild?
A: Maybe eventually if there is enough interest! I would probably need some help with such an undertaking though!

Q: Will you ever hire anyone for anything?
A: I may hire bumpers or have bump contests. I may even one day hire someone to help with the guild/RP!

Q: What do I get if I bump/post/chat in your thread?
A: You get my love!! heart Bumping/chatting/being active is also a way (other then RP) to earn extra treasure hunting passes, color potions and runes!!!

Q: I have a question that isn't answered in this FAQ!!
A: Well post 'er in the thread and I'll be more then happy to answer, and maybe even add it to the FAQ!!

*Any suggestions, advice, feedback is always appreciated. Be constructive and creative because I love hearing your thoughts!!**

There is a story that goes like this:

A very long time ago, in a far away place there existed a race of people who possessed special abilities. These people were alchemists, able to transmute a substance of one element into a substance of another. Earth into air. Fire into water. And with these abilities their society prospered. The source of their power also grew, and as it grew it began to take on the forms of elements. And as the people developed ways to use their transmutational skills to cure their sick and dying, so too did the source of their power become alive. It is told that these people were destroyed by the monster which enslaved them, constantly demanding sacrifices of elements and life as it grew with each passing day that alchemy was used.

That is just a story.

Or at least, it was supposed to be.

I am just a shop owner. I know nothing of ancient civilizations or alchemy. Not until I made a discovery that would change my shop forever. At the back of my warehouse I found some bottles. The were definitely intriguing, each one with a different color swirling around inside. I was only trying to get a better look as I held one up to the light, but suddenly it slipped from my hand and with a startling crash, smashed upon the floor. To my surprise the liquid began to squirm around the broken shards and right before my eyes it solidified into a sort of jelly blob which proceeded to very slowly slide and wiggle towards me. It was enough to make me run out of there and forget about the pickup I was supposed to be doing. Upon closer inspection the little blob thing seemed to have these two little eyes that watched me as I investigated him. "Well," I thought, "it looks like the cats are going to have some company". I decided to take the little thing home and see what happened. I also decided to try and find out what these bottles were doing there.

{more coming soon...}

Blobu's have three distinct stages. First you must purchase a bottle. Inside is some colored liquid which, when poured onto the ground will become your baby Blobu.

User Image

Before pouring out the contents of a bottle, one must wait 5 - 7 days for the liquid to condense into a more solid form. Pouring out the liquid too early will result in a puddle instead of a blob, and you will be left desperately trying to sponge the liquid up and back into the vial. This will probably not be successful, but don't worry, I won't let you pour out your vial too early. In fact, in order to avoid any messy accidents, I'll be the one emptying your bottle for you!

The color of the liquid is usually a good indication of the final color of your Blobu. If you're not happy with the color, the bottle form is the time to add a color phial or a drop of rainbow essence. Rainbow essence can be purchased from the shop and will turn your bottled liquid a random color while color phials are scattered around the world for you to uncover! They will turn your Blobu the same color as the dye in the phial, and multiple phials can be added to your bottled Blobu to achieve different colors! (ie: red and yellow to make orange)

User Image

{the rainbow essence}

Once you have emptied your bottle your Blobu's color will be finalized and it will emerge in it's baby blob form.

User Image

At this point it's hungry! and it wants to be fed some runes! There are three basic runes, but your Blobu only has room for two before it's ready to morph into it's final stage. Some runes will be available in the shop from time to time, but they can also be found in the world map. There are even some rare runes that have a special, but unknown effect. The two runes you feed your Blobu, and in what order they are given will determine the type of Elemental Blobu you will receive in the final stage.

Below is a graphical breakdown of the above explanation!

User Image

*please note that you MUST feed your blobu 2 runes in order for it to reach the final stage!*

Certificates

Once you have purchased a bottle, you will need a place to keep it. What better place then this lovely little cert!

User Image

{example}

Regular Certs

Please pick a color for your cert:

User Image

{black, silver, blue, sky blue, blue-green, green, yellow, gold, orange, red, pink, purple}
User Image

{grey, white, light blue, light sky blue, light blue-green, light green, light yellow, light gold, light orange, light red, light pink, light purple}

These certs cost you nothing...they come with the bottle you purchase. Once you've chosen a color, you need to decide if you would like an outline on the cert or not. The above certs do NOT have an outline (except the white ones, they automatically have the outline). Below is an example of two outlined certs:

User Image

Please specify if you would like your cert to have an outline. The outline will be in the same color as the cert, only a little dark as pictured above. This is a free addition to any cert.

User Image

Special Certs

The following are more expensive and sometimes limited edition certs!

User Image

The pastel and regular Rainbow certs will run you 500g each. They come as is (with the outline). These will never go out of stock.

User Image

This Angelic cert is limited edition to celebrate the opening of the shop! It will only be available for the first few sales/auctions/raffles. It costs 800g and comes as is.

User Image

Cert Add-Ons

These will be for all regular certs only, and will be available soon (you can add them at any time). For an example see the wing on the cert of my blobu (in my sig and in the owners list post)

User Image

Text Color

You also need to choose your text color. The colors of the regular and pastel certs are all available for you to choose. The text will always have a white outline as pictured in the sample, except for the white certs, where the outline will be in the color you choose, so please choose a reasonably dark color.

User Image

Cert Form

To make ordering your cert easier, and to make sure you don't miss anything, here's a little form you can post after you have purchased a bottle!

Regular Cert

{flatsale preview}

SOLD OUT

(flatsale date: next FS TBA time: TBA (when I say 'go') - price will be 1k each)

Flatsale Conduct

1. when i say 'go', you may post 'blobu'. The first people to make a post that says 'blobu' will be able to pick a bottle in order that they posted in until all the bottles are gone.

2. the winners will be confirmed in a post by me. you may then post in order with which bottle you would like, along with the cert order form located in the 'shop' post.

3. trades for the flatsale price must be sent and confirmed to me, brokenandbreathless, before I send you the certed bottle.

4. please direct link as your pet will change until it reaches the final stage!

5. if you would like to immediately purchase or use a color potion, you can specify so in your post with the cert order form, and add the cost of any potions to your trade. This will expedite the color change of your bottle.

6. your inventory will be posted in the owners section, along with your remaining treasure hunting passes. you may use one on the day of the purchase of your bottle if you'd like.

As you may have noticed, there are three different runes you can feed your baby blobu. If you didn't notice this, it's up there in the shop section. Because you can feed any two runes in any order to your baby blobu for it to evolve, that means there is in fact nine different rune combinations (because the order the runes are fed to your blobu does make a difference). Ironic or not, there are also nine different types of blobu's in their final stage ... well actually ten but the tenth is extremely rare!
