Faq and Facts
Deviantart related: If you obtain an ash on gaia, the first growth happens there (unless you wish to bring it over to DA, which is fine too), after which you can wait for one of the few openings to stage 2 using gaia gold, or lateral over to Da to continue here. If you obtain an ash on DA, you must grow it all on DA. aka Ashes bought on Gaia can be grown on Gaia or DA. Ashes bought on DA can only be grown on DA.
Items bought on DA can be used on Gaia. Items bought on Gaia are not usable on DA.
Payment type: The Cauldron accepts gaia gold as well as items that are currently desired by the artists. (The later only if its previously and obviously stated)
NO refunds will ever be given under any circumstance. Even if you send money to apply credit, it will not be refunded. so you mind as well continue the growth and receive an amazing adopt anyways~!
Unused Ashes will not be repossessed. However, after a period of three months with no word of being used, a -very- similar ash will be released to a new owner
Growth Item Descriptions: if you send an email to : thecauldronadopt@gmail.com you will recieve an automated response that contains a link to a doc with descriptions of the growth items. (don't bother sending anything more than a derpalerp or w/e, as we wont be reading anything or replying to anything from that location x'D. If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them either to DA note or gaia PM~)
We want -everyone- to enjoy The Cauldron and some people expressed their like of the current system. However at the same time, we also feel that it deters many potential participants and we do want to grow the cauldron far and wide. It woudl allow us to hold more successful events and just have a larger more active community.
So that being said, if you DO read the descriptions, its forbidden to talk about them to others unless its in a private setting. We don't want people to have it spoiled for them. If someone publicly mentions or says anything about what does what, you will be given a warning. Second offense will constitue a black list and ban.
How to buy and grow
~To buy items, please post in the Store what you wish to buy. If you have a credit, it will be subtracted from the total and your inventory will have the items added to it.
~There is also no refund or exchange on the items within the shop if you change your mind. So please choose your purchases wisely!
~To use the items, you will post in the Growth journal what you wish to add to your cauldron. The items will be removed from your inventory and applied to your cauldron.
~Once the requirements have been met, the brewing will begin (see the Stages journal for the usual wait times. Sometimes it could be less than what is listed, perhaps a bit more.)
~After the growth is done, the finished adopt, pet, or weapon will be posted to the group upon its certification image and you will receive the full sized, transparent png image to do with as you like. Once received, the design and character are yours.
~Can you add more stones and scents to your cauldron? Yes. If you want to go over the minimum requirements, you are more than welcomed to. This will essentially add even more 'character' or depth to the growths. Depending on how many more are added, the stage might even come out more detailed over all than normal.
~Breeding is possible at The Caudlron, though only available to owners of Stage 2 growths.
Can I---?
~Have more than one adopt: Yes. Though monopolizing will not be allowed. Though we do hope to put ashes and items up for sale/obtaining in different ways so everyone can have a chance.
~However: You are only allowed to have one ash at a time. If you want to own more, you must grow the one you have first.
~Give a name to my adopt?: Yup! We'll ask everyone when they obtain an ash if they wish to give a name to their adopt/weapon/pet. Though it isn't necessary.
