Gold Shops and Game Item Exchanges

October 13th, 2014:

Let's answer a few of the most common questions up front! These are some that we know you are interested in. Please don't duplicate the questions listed below as the answers we have given are as complete as we can make them at this time.

Can you update shop navigation? (ex. Better tabs, tags, and shopping cart?)
This has been on our radar for awhile now! Definitely a strong possibility for the future!

Can you fix Loyal's counter so that it works?
Yes, we actually want to change completely how that part functions so more people can get access.

Hello!

When might we get to trade in our fish for Paws items?

Besides Rufus, Jet, and Carl, will we get a Paws shopkeeper?

Was there a set number of Citrine Tickets in Project Old School?

Are there any tickets left in Loyal's Bazaar that can be Won?

Hi Jak! Let me answer your questions as best I can.

Fish for Paws: Maybe!

Citrine Tickets: Yes, there are still Citrine Tickets in Project Old School!


bluealaris
Hi there! Cross-Stitch may be re-visited in the future, especially for our Paw friends- but I can't make any guarantees that it will be a monthly event.

4.) How often do you look at suggestions made for the gold shops?
Particularly in the GCD/SF/Petition forums. There are great ideas for items in there that could be used for future gold shop updates. I personally made two petitions for bag accessories and housing items in the past, and while I haven't been active in them, I'd still like to see the gold shops updated with these items.

5.) In the near future, can we please have larger gold shop updates?
Because they need more love and they could have so much potential if they were updated with the items we'd wish to see in there. The gold shops are my favorite features of the site and I want to be able to enjoy them to the fullest.

4. Pretty frequently!

5. I can't promise it but we can try to squeeze it in. smile

Hello I havent done one of these before or know exactly what to say. but im just going to ask if any of what i list is able to be done.

question 1: Are you guys in the future or soon able to fix the npc shops? by fix i mean can you make it so the shops that wont let you pick the ammount of quanity for example Loyals shop if i want to buy bundles from him or other goodies im not given the option like i could in the old gaia for any ammount i wanted. so if i wanted to buy 5 bundles or 10 but because i cant set a number i basiclly have to keep pressing 3 to 4 buttons each time i make a purchase just to get another bundle etc. im not sure how many shops atm dont let you pick quanity but yea I hope you can do something about it.


1. We are actually currently looking at this.

Hello and welcome! Here are the answers to a few of the questions posted in our pre-event thread! Please don't duplicate the questions listed below as the answers we have given are as complete as we can make them at this time.

Quote:
Are their plans to increase the other gold shops' prices like HnR Wesley?

Yes as the prices are incredibly outdated and have been for years.

Quote:
Mine is a sort of two category question: while I love the idea behind the tickets, can we someday have a chance to be able to create wonderful items for Gaia for users that may not have cash resources or incredible vending skills?

Like a once a month, could do a "Enter your ideas for This type of ticket!" contest, giving 1-3 users a shot at getting their item made and dreams realized, and gives potential ideas for new items!

We actually have done this before with Crosstich where we have a contest of item ideas and create the winning one! This is something we plan on bringing back.

Quote:

Can you please make it possible to buy a quantity of items from the gold shops.

There are times where I would like to purchase more than 1 of an item at a time as it can be quite annoying when buying in bulk. (especially when we have rigs in gold shops)

An excellent suggestion and one we will definitely consider.

Quote:
The prices of bugs and inks have increased by a ton. Popular ink colors now cost millions or hundreds of millions--for just 1 vial. I'm very concerned with this, and I know that I'm not the only one.

Can you remove the cap on bug-collecting in towns?

We probably won't remove the cap entirely, but we can increase it so it's not so limiting!


bluealaris

Will you allow paws to get any tattoos from bug and ink collections?

Reasoning and other suggestions, including those for exchange rates, are listed in this thread.


Probably not via formulas in the exchange, but we can definitely do a tattoo update for Paws.


Princess Angelishia
Scobre

Could Gaia make crafting in bulk possible to do in gold shops?


Hi there! Do you mean with inks and bugs? It's not on our current to do list, sorry! But we can keep it in mind as a side project for the future.


Princess Angelishia

With this month gold shop update you gave items for both bases and it seemed to make a lot of users happy to not get left out. Would it be possible to make this the normal. Not everyone can spend cash for their avatar and making sure new gold shop items for both bases will at least possibly help improve user mood overall if everyone has a non-loyal's gold shop update to look forward to each month.


We can consider doing more animal base items in our gold shop updates!


bluealaris

Will crosstitch ever been updated?

We have plans to run another Crosstitch!


Princess Angelishia
One Rainy Night
Shops

Again, you said that you planned on increasing the prices in all gold shops since they've been outdated for years. I just want some clarification...

Are prices in all of the gold shops going to be raised by 50 times, like they were in H&R Wesley?


Hey there! We will be updating the prices in our gold stores such that they will make more sense in our modern economy- but still striving to make sure that there are a variety of items for our new Gaians to purchase when they join!

Question
Shops

Since you increased the amount of gold needed for some items, does that mean the GCash is worth more?

No. The Gcash amounts reflected are automatically assigned based on how much gold the item is placed for. It's a bit outdated and something we can look at updating in the future.


Princess Angelishia
The Muse of Life
Shops
Will you let us know before you raise prices in a gold shop. A lot of Gaian's where upset that you raised H.R Wesley's prices without telling us so first.


Sure, we can try to give more notice!


Princess Angelishia
aZyzz
Gender based items

Will you consider being more flexible on the gender based items? Most of the rewards from the tired spender give female biased rewards and are useless unless gifted/sold. Same thing with shop, it would help if you would make a male/female section in such case.


Hey there! Almost all of our items can be worn by both genders, so I don't foresee a gender specific tab in our future! However, yes, many of our items are more feminine. This is actually because a large majority of Gaians are female! However, we have been trying to make more unisex items that work for both genders since we want to give our male Gaians love too.


Princess Angelishia
Zemalia

Is Loyal's going to see an update this month? It seemed like for a while we were getting fairly steady updates. I'd love to see more items in there and it's a great gold sink.


We may, but all of our focus right now is on the Halloween Event! So it might be more like November before you see one.


Narumi Misuhara

With the shops, the current default setting it to show both human and animal items together.
Is there a way that we can have an option to change this default in our account settings?
So that if we have an animal avi we can have a choice to set it to animal and if we have a human avi we set it to human if we wish.


This is doable, no current plans to make changes to this at the moment though.


Princess Angelishia
Niki-Senpai
Items

I know you guys plan on converting a bunch of old items to be unisex, but do you guys also plan on revamping/recoloring older gold shop items?
Like what you did for the Peasant Gloves. I'd really like to see some older items redone to suit the modern color palettes/pixel stylings.


We love taking recolor requests, and will definitely consider those items in particular in the future, especially as part of our gold shop grab bags!

Quote:

If you've kept the item designs from CrosStitch contests, is there any chance more designs will be made from the past contests if new contests aren't planning on being held?

We don't plan on using previous designs at this moment, but we are planning to hold a new CrosStitch contest soon! Please stay tuned for more details. smile

Rare bugs are practically a mythical sighting in towns. Many players go years without ever seeing a rare bug.

Would you consider allowing hoards of regular bugs to be exchange for rare bugs, similar to the fish exchange for rare fish?

Reasoning and other suggestions, including those for exchange rates, are listed in this thread.


We'll look into the dev requirements for an exchange, but in lieu of that we're looking into other ways of granting rare bugs- through GoFusion or Alchemy.


Princess Angelishia
xx I met my fate xx
Items
Sorry, thought of one more but it's an easy one!

Can we please get the yellow pauldrons for the Dark Elf set in Barton Boutique? For some reason every other colour in the set has pauldrons but yellow.

Also can the following items be considered for Loyal's shop as a halloween treat? They're all "unpopular" colours that have been put into loyal's before so I hope they'll be considered.

-Pure orange Devil Tail
-Pure orange HOTD
-Forest green (or matching the wings already in loyal's) HOTD
-Toxic green HOTD
-Purple (matching the wings and tail already in loyal's) HOTD
-More cheap gold shop recolours so that there are things everyone can afford in there.

We can definitely consider all of these suggestions for a future update! However, it's highly unlikely we'd have any of this done for a Halloween update since everybody's favorite spooky holiday is right around the corner!

I doubt this is a new question, however as I've been working with alchemy a whole lot lately, the time consumption of the process has become progressively apparent. I was wondering if it would be possible, or at least considered to add a quantity option to the gold shops? Not just for alchemists' sake, but just as a general time saver. It seems a bit disheartening to spend 3 hours buying 750 of one item, one at a time. Thank you! heart


This is definitely something we are considering! c:

We get a lot hair items, but none of them are the same colors as the ones in the salon. Can we PLEASE get the newer shades of the Cash Shop wigs & such in the Salon & vice versa?

Hi there! If you noticed, the most recent Salon Durem update included some of the newer colors you see in La Victoire. We plan to do this again for future salon updates, but we will not be updating old hairstyles with additional colors. Sorry!

Can we please get more "GC" quality hair in the Salon? It'd make for a great gold sink, and a lot of people (myself included.) have been dying for a Salon update.

I'd love to see more hairs in Salon Durem as well! emotion_kirakira However, a single salon update is significantly more time intensive than regular gold shop update, so we will try to update the salon again when we have the time to do it properly.


bluealaris
Azura Cantarella
Shops

Have you ever considered using the older, richer colors for future Salon updates, or even updating the pixeling style of the oldest hairdos? I'm sorry if I sound rather brusque but I, as well as other users, become disappointed seeing the same lackluster colors being used every update.


That's a good suggestion- we may do some re-makes of hair and use older palates in a future Salon update.

Do you think Paws will ever get their own gold shop? I think it would be pretty cool!


This is something that we are considering! Hopefully there will be an update on this soon.


I hope this will mean moving all the animal items out of the other shops, it's very annoying to have to click each time on the human base to eliminate them.


That's our ultimate goal- its something we're going to plan on but we haven't put into production!


bluealaris
Astra Green

Will there be more of a consecutive updates for the gold shops like there were in the past. Like either once or twice a week all for the stores get an update with more merchandise?


Currently we update our Gold Shop about twice a month with an average of 50 to 80 items per update. We could make smaller updates on a weekly basis but our team feels that the current format allows for a more complete and deeper shop update.


bluealaris

(not sure where to place this one)
I recently saw the item contest and I was wondering:

Why isn't there an animal base?


I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to- if its for the Cross-stitch contest that's currently on-going there should be an Animal template and contest for them. If its not there we'll fix that immediately!

Could you guys please add more ei recolors to Loyals? Also could you guys add some limited item recolors to Loyals too? I love the shop and wish it were updated more.

This question deals with achievements and loyalty programs.

Getting into Club Verge and Loyal's Bazaar is a pretty big deal.
But for some reason we don't get achievements for getting into either loyalty program.

And that is pretty silly.

After all spending 100$ a year to be in Verge and logging in almost every single day to get into the Bazaar, we deserve some kind of achievement to put in out collection for that...

My Question is...


Would you please give us an achievement for getting into either loyalty program and an achievement for getting into both programs at the same time?

Good idea! We'll pass it along and see if we can make it happen.

would we be able to have an option (like in the account settings) where we can choose the preferred base for shops?

So that animal only users can choose 'animal' and in the shops it will automatically go to the animal items (instead of having to click on the button and reload the shop)

And that human* only users can choose 'human' and in the shops it was automatically go to the human items?

*By human I just mean our normal avis.


We'll have to look into this but it is a good idea.

Are there any plans to create a fish CI for the gold shops, something similar to Bug Trap?
With the way the fish are being priced in the MP (300b+), many alchemists are worried that they'll not be able to swing the cost in time, given that Alchemy is on the chopping block.


Alchemy isn't on the chopping block currently, we're actually looking for ways to revitalize the system and add updates to it. Fish are going to remain a game only item for the foreseeable future, although you will find the occasional rare fish from The Old Fishing Hole RIG.

Items

I'm wondering if you guys are aware that there are still a few items in Loyal's shop (and possibly other shops) there were intended to be limited, but are still there well past their date?

The items I'm referring to in particular are the Myth of Fennec and Celestial Deputy, which were supposed to have left the shop all the way back on July 27th. They were released along with the Kira Eyes and were all three said to be limited and only available until the 27th. The Kira Eyes left, but the other two items remained. (Which you can see the announcement for them here as well as a thread I made about this in Site Feedback a few months ago here.)

Since then, several RIGS have come and gone through Loyal's shop as well, few of which have ever left when they were supposed to.

I'm curious if it's simply an oversight that the items are still there? Or was a decision made to change the limited status on them? It'd simply be nice to know, for those of us who invested in said items, expecting them to be a limited time deal.


Yes, we put them in there intending for them to be limited, however we would like to do something a little more exclusive for the limited quantity items and we will be updating it accordingly.

Question 1: With every rig produced there is the rare pet. A lot of times people will miss out on the pet because of the lack of gold per-say or no funds for the cash shop. Do you think it may be possible to open up a RIG pet shop and let people start getting the rig pets from it? How it would work is, say the last 6 months to maybe the last year , the Rig pet would be available for X amount of gold. It would be switched out with a newer Rig pet. Say for example. the shop has the rig pets from July to Jan.

Pet 1: July.

Pet 2: August

Pet 3: Sep.

Pet 4: Oct

Pet 5: Nov.

Pet 6: Dec.

When Jan. comes around July's pet would be booted. It's just an idea though.

Question 2: Will we see a shop made for the Paw items?


This is a good idea. We would likely want to use exclusive pets to this shop. We are considering making a Paw only shop as well.

For the time being, go ahead and file a ticket at our Help Center to request how many Grab Bags you'd like and we can go ahead and credit them to your account. If you could also let us know what exactly you are doing when trying to purchase it, it might help us figure out what the problem may be and how to reproduce it.

Why not put limited items in like loyal's bazaar for lots and lots of gold? Or start putting your dozens of recolors for items, but not the original items themselves, in the shops? Lower their value so people can actually afford them? Loyal' Bazaar has ton's of recolors, so why not make recolors available for everyone to buy? Let the limited items get bought by people who have gold but no gcash, but can't afford the insane amount they are being sold for in the MP?


This is something that we have planned! Please stay tuned.

Deals with kickstarters and gold shops so I wasn't sure what to label the question as...

Anyway, when can we start doing more kickstarters to raise the gold shop prices?
We still have plenty of shops to go through and it's been a couple of months since we raised Edmund's shop...
It's not really fair to only raise one gold shop then forget about the rest.
Besides we need the gold sinks desperately.

We'll have them in 2015, it will be a slow and gradual change that occurs over time instead of all at once.

When will the Dernier Cri gold shop get an update and if it isn't, why do you choose to ignore this shop?
We haven't had any items in there since Loyal's shop opened.
That used to be one of my most favorite gold shops to visit, the items are so pretty in there...
But now it's just collecting dust....

Question is originally by ( Nenanah ) I am using Nenanah's Ask the Staff Question Posting Service.


We are actually planning on updating this in the near future.

Will we see the Crossstich winners soon, last ATS you said we would see them at the end of last month. I understand the Holidays are coming but will that be this months gold shop update?

Yes. CrossStitch will be updated this month with new user-designed creations.

On some of my accounts I got kicked form Loyal's shop; even though I know I logged on every day. I get my daily chance; and yet most of my accounts I cannot shop at loyal's now. It said I did not log in for 70 days. Yet, I know I did. (I also wish to remark, that that countdown has always been glitched for me. Says 15 days one time, 3 days the next day then 25 a week later.)

Sidenote, I am wondering if that has anything to do with the missing santa march?

Simply go ahead and file a ticket at our Help Center and we'll be able to help you with access again. As for the Santa March, no update yet, but we're still looking into it.

will there ever be chance items and evolving items added to a gold shops or maybe given their own shops for those of us that cant afford gaia cash?


We will be having a Loyal's Bazaar update soon, with chance items. We have an Evolving item in the Treehouse, not sure if there are plans to make another one in the near future.


Forgive me if I may have missed it, but which item is an EI in the treehouse? I can't seem to find it.


Its called Gary's Island Adventure- I believe you could purchase the recipie from the Treehouse for a time. We can put it back in if its been removed, as its an older item.

With Human and Animal bases being a thing would it be possible to get items for BOTH bases in the Gold shop update each month. Like five items made for both bases for ten items total? There is a lot of frustration on both sides when they get left out of the Gold shop update and this way no one is left out and everyone is happy!


We try to create sets for all bases in each Gold Shop update but sometimes we have restrictions due to time.

can we get some more stocking/fishnet/ripped stocking items in the gold shops? the ones we have now have poor shading and ugly colors... it would be nice to have new ones to use with the items that slim our legs

Sure, I'll pass on this request for additional recolors for stocking items in the gold shop.

Are you handing out the Loyalty Crown again this year with access to Loyal’s and if so, is the name adjusted and the colour perhaps a bit different to separate it from the 2014 crown? Also, any chance that there’s an [Animal] version this year?


We are looking into having a Loyal's update for the New Year, keep your eyes peeled for updates in the coming weeks =)

I was poking through the other threads in the Contests forum, and I found one that speaks to me on a deep, personal level. However, I couldn't help but notice the rules state:

[NPC] Rina
If my pie idea is picked as a winner, what will I win?!?!
Another awesome question! This contest will have 3 grand prize winners of a "Sweet as Pie" prize Pack. Not only will one of our fabulous artists create your pie as an item for the Buttercup Cafe shop, but you'll also win the following...



However, I don't think these pies were ever actually made, were they? Maybe for the next Pi Day, this could be corrected?

Oh man, let me follow up on that for you. Sounds like a great update for Rina's cafe on this year's Pi day, which is 1 decimal place more accurate than last year! Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Any eta on the new Loyal's shop requirements. We where told originally there would be multiple ways to enter the shop and then in a past AtS you said it would be looked at. Any updates?

No updates at this time! But we're still allowing you in if you file a ticket with us.


meemsalman
Castiel Lover
Event suggestion
Can you please consider an ITEM kickstarter? Perhaps when you close down more shops to redo the prices, close all of them at once and do an event for deleting unwanted cheap items. The event page could have a place to 'buy' junk to throw for gold, so it'd still be a gold sink and would have a way to be played by people who aren't packrats like me. Also, with a lot of junk being tossed, maybe it would raise the value of some of it, too, which helps the newbies.


That is something we can consider, thanks! heart

Could we have a CrosStitch contest in which we could draw some backgrounds?

Full ones, partial ones (like the window in the Owl Study), borders (like the Noel's Gift golden frame or the Art Nouveau inspired lovely flower circles), shapes (like Cafe Miam, Innocent Capri, Purrsuasion Play, Volant Reverie.... ovals), fancy re-shaping (like Forest Brier, Dark Omen, Restful Reverie or that graffiti one which my memory currently fail to remember...) or just some background accessories (chairs, tables, flowers & plants...).

Yes, we can consider this for a future CrosStitch contest! It will definitely bring out the most artistic Gaians.

Ok, so back on Dec 8th, I asked a question and I was just wondering when this was actually going to happen? o-o We are entering late January now. I really love the idea of Loyal's, but I feel like no effort is being put into it and it makes me kinda sad. sad Are we planning on seeing the update with items and a RIG this month or are we still waiting?

Also, hi.

EDIT:
I'd also like to say goodbye to Reapersun. I am going to definitely miss seeing you around Gaia, as well as your artwork. I am glad you will still be somewhat with us with the manga. smile Good luck in the future and I am sure you will do amazingly.

Hi there!
Unfortunately the Loyal's CI was pushed back into February. You'll have plenty of warning though, because it'll be preceded with a gold sink event. However, there's supposed to be a Loyal update this week though so stay tuned!

Since Back Alley Bargains' old thing was zOMG! craftable items, and its new thing is Gold Shop CIs... how about combining the two, and giving us a Gold Shop CI of zOMG! crafted item recolors?

For example, I'm sure Fishing fans would find it pretty cool if you recolored the Lionfish Tail to match all the Gemback Lion masks. wink


That is a neat idea, we don't have any current plans to do so, but we can definitely look into it! =)

In one of the kickstarters (I believe the beach party one) one of the tiers was for a LQI for Loyal's. However, we never got it, despite reaching the tier. Will we ever get it, or has it been forgotten about?

Hasn't been forgotten about! We just haven't found the right item for this!

Could there be an item update for Dernier*Cri?

The shop seems so neglected now. An update with some of Brenn's creations would be wonderful. Even recolors of some of his items would be refreshing to see.

Features/Shops

A lot of users have problems accessing Loyal’s Bazaar. When it comes to the glitch, it is often reported in the Bug Reports forum and sometimes in Site Feedback. However, some staff members in the past (I can’t recall who off the top of my head– maybe Zero Omega?) have recommended filing a ticket as a way to get access into the store granted manually. How would you recommend filing a ticket for this?

I recently found this recommendation, but have been suggesting it only hesitatingly, alongside “issues with items/gold” as this glitch isn’t something that fits with any of the known categories. However, before I actually go into the Bug Reports forum and post about it in whatever recent threads I find, I was hoping to get someone on staff to confirm the appropriate steps to save everyone involved some time and effort when they run into this unfortunate problem.

As always, thanks!

When you file a ticket for this, the best drop-down to use would be “Issues with items/gold.” While not the most accurate for the problem, out of the available options it’s the best one to use to describe the issue. Hope that helps!

Could we see more recolors of the Angelic Sash in Loyals please? I would love a red, or a peony, or any number of the amazing colors being widely used on the site these days, because while the Navy is nice, and I adore my original, they don't always match what I'm trying to make.


The Angelic Sash is one of the '03's that we've had our eyes on for a while for Loyal's Bazaar. They're definitely on the list of items to be recolored! Thanks for your suggestion and for your patience~ 4laugh

Do gold shops no longer have a set time range in when they update? It used to be they updated at the end of the month and recently it was moved to the start of the month. Is it just a we do it when we can or do you aim to get it out in a certain time frame?



We do not have a set schedule for gold shop updates, but we do aim to have 2 updates a month for our gold shops. biggrin heart
