February 9th, 2015: Finni Th0tday ItemsWould it be possible to make it so Tempie's Ronin Plushie can layer to have two? Like, one in the arms, and one on the head. I think they would look cute together 4laugh Any layering change to user-made items must be requested by the user only if it is a legitimate glitch. In this case, because the handheld pose is a hidden pose, you will not be able to equip two plushies at once. It is the same logic behind not being able to wear the same pose of an item twice. Sorry for the inconvenience! Please enjoy these tiny bunny siblings snuggling in a pair of pink boots.  Finni Diosu ItemsI have an idea for a new project custom ticket: make a custom astra animated item. Would this be possible? Unfortunately, we cannot allow the creation of custom Astra animated items. There are a myriad of limitations to the animated item system that does not allow us to accommodate a majority of the user requests we have already seen, so we have decided not to allow this item type to be customization. My apologies! I hope this tiny bunny receiving relaxing pets from its human companion will be some consolation.  bluealaris drakokatze Question Category: ItemsWhen user-made items are in rigs, is there a limit to how many of them are released? No, there isn't a limit of how many user-items are released in CIs, its all up to how many are opened and chance. Finni drakokatze Question Category: ItemsIs there a reason the golden ticket: paws version gets just a skin? all the other paws tickets seem to get the full options that the human ones do, but that one seems to have gotten the short end of the stick The Project Golden Ticket allows you to make a 6 pose item, and does not restrict whether it is an animal base item or human base item. So, to create a 6-pose paw item, you simply use the same ticket. Humans tend to not have furs to equip, so a Golden Paw ticket was created specifically for fur creation. I hope this makes sense! Please enjoy this pair of bunnies peacefully napping in their favorite pink boots.  bluealaris Tear of Fate ItemsWould it be posible to get Project Old school back in loyals, it was they only chance some of use had to win a ticket even thou it was just for recolores... that or maybe give us a new GoldShop Rig that gave a chance at a ticket maybe Mini one Pose tickets. We have some new Loyal Projects planned for the near future but we will bring back Project Old School eventually! Finni Yuekazehime ItemsI've really liked the idea of expiring mini-tickets for user-made hairstyle. Are tickets for other recolorable things like mouths/eyes/jewelry/legmods a possibility for the future also? Currently we don't have any plans for a user-made recolorable features ticket in the works, but it might be something we can look into further to figure out the logistics as a future ticket! Thanks for the suggestion. I hope this little lop carefully grooming its face can put a smile on your face. 4laugh  Zero Omega Castiel Lover ForumsThe custom project forum still needs more stickies to be consolidated. And you could delete the ones pertaining to tickets that were a limited time event that ended. This is something we'll look into updating! milkbun sup-qt Items/Features/Project TicketsThank you for putting an expiration date on the rare tickets (personally I hope this means after we may see a re-release) I am however, a little worried that not everyone has staff alerts turned on and am hoping that the users with those tickets had a message sent to them? And if no could a site announcement be made to help ensure they see the new expiration date? (I dont want anyone to loose a ticket just because the dont subscribe to staff alerts is all) We can see about an announcement or perhaps putting something in the Project forums as another form of communication. Some people don't read announcements either ;__; milkbun AphAsian ITEMS :I have a question about the Rainbow / Golden Ticket items. It's already been confirmed that a Platinum Ticket doll can be recolored as long as they have the original creator's permission. Does the same count for Golden Ticket items? I'm asking because I currently own a Golden Ticket item, and I'm wondering if I could recolor my own item after it's creation with a Rainbow Ticket? If not, does that mean I have to wait the 6 month period after the item has been released to recolor it? It counts for Golden Tickets too yes. We also allow you to recolor your own item without the 6-month limitation as per normal Limited Items. This is after all, your item smile Finni Hassli ItemsAm I allowed to make a Diedrich march with a Marching Order? I believe a Diedrich, while possibly somewhere between a mythical and non-mythical animal, is permitted to be created using a Marching Order. 3nodding milkbun Castiel Lover ItemsSo, with the new end dates on certain rare tickets (like Ruby, for instance), will we be getting new ways to earn them after this deadline? There were only 4 ruby (maybe 3) that I know of in existence, and there are at least 4 people that still are truly questing for them. I would love to see them in a rig with much better drop rates, this time... So, will we be seeing more ruby and others introduced after they're gone? We'd definitely love to release more tickets after we handle all these old tickets including our large SDPlus queue for sure! Tickets will always remain as rare drops however as we need to ensure we aren't overwhelmed with more than we can handle. Finni Niki-Senpai Items For Marching Orders, how come Struts were excluded? This is due to the way that the item is pixeled and created, plus the inclusion of three poses that would be customized to the requested animal in comparison to the two poses of the March and Mr.March series. Because of these variables, we decided not to include the Struts as part of the Marching Order, but the restriction may be lifted in the future. I apologize as I know many users are upset that the Strut series wasn't included, but I hope these bunnies munching furiously on leaves of spinach will make your evening. 4laugh

February 23rd, 2015: Finni Shrimp_Man Okay, so I'm posting all my Pre-ATS questions because I need answers like burning to a couple of them. xD ItemsWhy is it exactly that the one-three pose tickets exclude companion items? I mean, I'd be willing to quest for one if I could finally make a Russell Ace companion. Or in the case of the three pose ticket, a three pose Russell Ace reference item, including the companion. Maybe it's because we have a companion-only type of ticket in mind... ninja  Zero Omega Twisted Lady ItemsWill the Pillowcase ticket won from the kickstarter have to abide by the dates set for those won from the Wildcard, or will that winner be given a later deadline? It will abide by the same date as the existing tickets. bluealaris Simora FeaturesJust a random thought, but would it be possible to have a project/ticket that allows a user to design an achievement and titles? It seems like this would be a relatively easy thing to organize, and also possibly a gold sink, if it were to be released as a Loyal's item... (not sure about how you'd work out the requirements for getting such achievements that wouldn't frustrate the majority of the user base, but I figured that I'd leave that to you, should you choose to make such a project XD) (I apologize if this is the incorrect category- I was not sure in which category this belonged and/or if it qualified as an item request 0.0;;; ) Thank you ^^ That's a great idea- we'll put some thought into it.

March 2nd, 2015: milkbun Castiel Lover ItemsHave any Ruby Tickets dropped from this new project rig? And what about it is revamped? I haven't checked if any have dropped but I haven't gotten any new orders in the past few days (though I did approve two adorable pets from previous tickets recently!). I believe the revamping had to do with the Chance Item itself, the ticket is still the same. milkbun The Iron Magus ItemsSince the Ruby Ticket is referred to as Project Companion, I have to ask: can it be used to design a humanoid companion? I mean, if you search for "companion" items on the marketplace, the majority ARE human. If it really is just for pets, do you plan to release a ticket in the future that lets you design humanoid companions? The word companion is used differently in this case. It should be a pet though a humanoid shape is ok as long as it's not the size of our avatar. We may at a later point allow for NPC/companions with a different ticket. milkbun Kid Jak ItemsIs the emerald ticket ever gonna get re-released as is or will it get a bit of a makeover like the obsidian did? We don't have any plans to change the Emerald ticket (minus the optional 'your Apprentice may be used in announcement dialogues). As for it being re-released, it's always a possibility though it needs to be monitored more carefully as it requires developer time. bluealaris Twisted Lady ItemsWill the new pillows from the Pillowcase ticket be sold for tickets in Prize & Joy like the normal ones? They will be released in Loyal's Shop. milkbun Calelith Item
Is the Sapphire Ticket going to be re-released? There was only one confirmed winner and it was never known if s/he redeemed the ticket or just let it 'rot' in their inventory. There were two and both were redeemed. We don't have any plans in the near future to release Sapphire since we have so many tickets and this one is probably the most work! milkbun VG Tryx Features I guess this is the best category for this question, It's been nearly a month since I sent in my Rainbow Ticket Email to Gaia Online and I have still received no word back, is this normal waiting time or should I re submit my request? I don't see an email with your username. Can you privately message me or re-email it? milkbun Fibonacci To Infinity Items
With the Ides of March CI, there was a custom Strut. I thought the rules said that making a custom Strut wasn't allowed? Why was it allowed? (I have nothing against it, I'm really just curious if this is a special case or a rule change.) The strut wasn't a custom item, only Quokka March was. Zero Omega angelkynd1_uzumaki-san misc. during loyal's last kickstart it was mentioned that for the donation of 500million that one lucky person could win a pillowcase ticket. so was that ticket ever given. because in the forum for the pillowcase ticket it states" the only way to acquire a ticket was to purchase a rig (looks like playing cards). so which one is true? We did give out the ticket to a lucky winner, this was done privately and we didn't announce it. bluealaris St V-Starr FeaturesProject Couture/Custom's first anniversary is coming up this week! Do you have anything planned to celebrate one year of user created items via tickets such as a RIG of ticket winners' items or a freebie? We don't have anything huge planned, possibly a raffle! bluealaris Rotchu ItemsQuestion: Will the Citrine Ticket ever return to Loyal's? I would love to have another chance at that ticket. gonk It will be returning this month. bluealaris Nenanah Features Can we get a gold rig which releases a ticket which makes you organize your own kickstarter/gold sink event and gaia can give us a set of stuff they are willing to re-release as the tiers? Question is originally by Kitsunen We aren't planning on doing anything like this in the near future, but thank you for the suggestion!

March 9th, 2015: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome ladies and gents! Quote: Items:Can the Ruby Ticket be used for humanoid companions like the Edmund Companion or do they have to be tiny non-humans? The Ruby Ticket is specifically for pets. This doesn't mean they have to be non-human, but they do have to be somewhat tiny. Full sized 'date'-esque companions are not permitted using a Ruby ticket. milkbun mewkittyy ITEMSCan the Perfect Parcel be used to gain a copy of a custom SDPlus Gaian doll? Only if it's your own doll. milkbun K i n g X u m o t - XVI Features:
Ever going to consider putting a limit on how many tickets a user can submit within a given year or 6 months? We've thought about it but it's pretty easy to circumnavigate these rules by having your friend submit a ticket for you. We are considering limiting how many tickets you can have in queue at any given time however. bluealaris Tomago GoGo Items/ticketsCurrently Rainbow Tickets are going for upward of 18 tril.... Most Gaians cannot afford this. And, I REALLY hate to be mean, but most of the items you put into the ticket CIs are sort of rubbish and not worth buying? sweatdrop So two things? 1. Will there be a way for the "little guys" to have a chance at the tickets? 2. Could you consider putting more items worth 20+ bil into the ticket CIs? To 1. attract more buyers and 2. deflate items? Thank you for your suggestions Tomago! We will be releasing more raffles and contests for Gaian's to enter, including specifically exclusive recolors as prizes. Also, we try to release items between the 1-200 billion marketplace value range but we can bump the averages up.

March 16th, 2015: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome ladies and gents! Quote: ItemsI've got a few questions, bear with me. xD Why is it exactly that the one-three pose tickets exclude companion items? I mean, I'd be willing to quest for one if I could finally make a Russell Ace companion. Or in the case of the three pose ticket, a three pose Russell Ace reference item, including the companion. Companion items take significantly more time to complete and run into many complexities that aren't apparent at first glance. Because we want to make sure that the requested items are able to be completed in a timely fashion (we're trying our best!) we decided to exclude companion items for any golden ticket. However, we have discussed the concept of a companion-only ticket that would allow you to create a companion, which may be something we'll approach in the future. milkbun Castiel Lover itemsHow many ruby tickets dropped from this project companion? I don't have the exact amount though I know for sure one dropped. We also have two Ruby Tickets in the works with one coming out very soon! milkbun K i n g X u m o t - XVI Items/Features Golden Paw ticket anytime soon? Sure~~ bluealaris Reginald Orius bluealaris 400 Lux Items.. sort of?Are there any plans in the feature to release a combination (of two items) ticket? Just curious. I think it'd be a really great idea to consider. We'll probably release a bundle with tickets in it, as opposed to a fused ticket. I think that's what you were asking? I think 400 Lux meant more like last month's RIG where all the items were created from two items. OHHHHH, yes, we will be releasing something for that. ninja milkbun Niki-Senpai Items We have a lot of amazing items and so many wonderful tickets! However sometime you want to recolor just one pose from a particular item and don't really care for the other poses or think there are better substitutes for said poses. Using a ticket for those might seem potentially wasteful. Have you guys considered making a ticket where you take one pose from a multi-pose item and recolor the pose x amount of times? I think it'd be pretty cool to have. We don't currently have plans for this as it has potential to turn into an organizational mess. If we decide to recolor the entire set in the future, we now have to be wary of single poses of that set floating around already existing in that color.

March 23rd, 2015: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome ladies and gents! Quote: Items/Tickets Do you think it would be possible to create a Triple Rainbow ticket to recolor all of the poses in items with more than 15 poses such as the marionettes or early EIs (Alruna's Rose, Masquerade, Lyndexer's Journal etc)? There are many items I would love to see recolored or colored in something that the item hasn't seen yet but many of them fall out side of the 15 pose limit and I'd hate to pick and choose when I want to see the whole item recolored. This is something we can consider, yes! Finni Flint Jakobs Items:Can we give Finni a round of applause for making the most awesome hair ever? emotion_kirakira /biased Also, are we going to see more user-made items in the near future! : D  Yes, more user-made items on the horizon! Golden Scissors just got re-released in the cash shop today so there's definitely more tickets being put into circulation. bluealaris Kid Jak Items any way to get a Prism paws ticket that lets us convert 6 poses of and EI or REI to paws? We currently don't have anything like this, but we can consider it! Converting items to Paws can be tricking, especially if there's specific layering modifications. bluealaris Seiji-ojisan ItemsI can't remember if user-created LQI's can get rereleased, but if they can, will you rerelease Path of Thieves? I'm sure it's been at least six months since that one came out and it's pretty much nonexistent in the MP. =C Yes, these can be re-released. Keep your eyes peeled, there might be some returning very soon. Finni Niki-Senpai Items Would you consider making a rainbow ticket variant that allows for only single-posed items or just wings? DJs and Wings make up a huge percentage of of user recolors, and I think introducing a ticket that more or less caters to recoloring those will help bring more creativity to the rainbow ticket item choices. It's up to the user how they choose to use the ticket. We don't have any plans at the moment to create single-pose Rainbow Tickets.  Finni Ranas94 ItemsHave you thought about releasing a "create your own astra" ticket? I'm pretty sure most gaians know about the layering restrictions that astras have, so I hope that's not an issue~ Hi there, I've responded to this question about potential Astra tickets that allow custom user-created animated items on a few occasions now so I will copy and paste my previous answer from February one more time for everyone to see: Quote: Unfortunately, we cannot allow the creation of custom Astra animated items. There are a myriad of limitations to the animated item system that does not allow us to accommodate a majority of the user requests we have already seen, so we have decided not to allow this item type to be customization. My apologies!

March 30th, 2015: bluealaris Shinji_Fumajime Items (I think)I noticed that the chance tickets for the Golden Scissors will be leaving very shortly. This was the second time that was released so I was wondering if this will be a recurring thing? Yes, we'll probably be releasing this on a semi-regular basis! milkbun sup-qt ItemsIf you don't already know, I love project tickets. Like a lot. BUT it makes me a little sad to see soooo many released at once. (What?! that sounds like crazy talk!)Its cool, stay with me on this. If you release one project at a time, then it gets ALL the attention, meaning more people buying it as there is nothing else like it at the time. if you add a second one, then people are more likely to choose one of the wo. Add another less buying. and so on and so forth. PLEASE, only release one project rig at a time, this way it can be the main focus, have more people buy it, and potentially more winners. (we have waited this long, we can wait a little bit longer for the re-releases) We like to release different types of tickets per month so there will be more tickets in general for you guys to get a chance of winning. I know some ticket types don't interest everyone either so it's nice to get a variety. bluealaris Silver Death Okami Kyu Items: Is it possible to have a flash sale on the different tickets that tends to pop up with different rigs? If so could they be at a reasonable price? Cause not everyone can afford a 50.00 ticket. sweatdrop Thank you for the suggestions! We may re-release some of the less expensive tickets in the future as well. 4laugh bluealaris Kid Jak ItemsCould we ever by chance get a Ticket or two in Flynns plunder? would love to see that much gold sunk. Yeah, that's a diabolical idea, I like how you think! milkbun Niki-Senpai Items/Tickets I know this is probably geared more towards milkbun, but I'm always too shy to message her and this way it can go ignored if needed. > . <;; Anyways.. I understand that you guys have a repaint vs recolor rule for Rainbows. If I wanted to recolor a bare arms set to match specialty skins (such as Wasteland Recon, Hoarfrost's Ciecero, or BOO skin), would that count as a recolor or repaint? I'm not too sure since those skins would require a little more than just a change to match the base color. From what I understand, if you ask for a pattern change it's a repaint. But then rainbow-fied and items with glow get approval, which kind of of seems like a repaint too. I'm not sure what you mean in terms of having to repaint any of the bare arms as we only need to shift the colors to match a specific base that was left out. Making a rainbow gradient or adding glows doesn't require repainting (repixeling) either!

April 6th, 2015: [NPC] Gaia Staff Hi! Quote: Item/Event My question has to do with the Mysterious Trash Ticket was part of Old Pete's bundle: does this ticket have some planned future use? Yes, we are planning on doing something with it in the future. Quote: Items Question: Will we be getting more Rainbow Ticket releases soon? Yes, there will be more Rainbow Ticket releases in the future. bluealaris K i n g X u m o t - XVI Items/Features: Perhaps next time the Golden Paw Ticket can be more Paw friendly when it is released in a RIG instead of nearly all human items? Roger that, King of Paws! 3nodding milkbun Fibonacci To Infinity milkbun The Iron Magus FeaturesAs it currently stands, the Project Custom tickets are being monopolized by a very small set of extremely wealthy users in order to create vanity items or increase their already substantial wealth by making recolors of "prestige items" to sell for a profit. Is this how you originally envisaged Project Custom, and if not, what steps can be taken to move it toward your original vision? I wouldn't exactly go as far as that. We have hundreds of orders all by different Gaians. Making the Club Verge Custom SDPlus box available as a tier prize has also opened up the custom process for hundreds of people who may otherwise not have been able to. We certainly do not wish to limit the use of tickets based on wealth but I'm always more than willing to hear out suggestions. We're considering adding expiration dates to most if not all of our tickets at some point which may help with this issue, though that requires us trying to clear out most of our current queue. W-Wait a second... Yeah there may be a lot of the boxes but she was talking about tickets which are kinda... different in a way. Also there a LOT of the same users redeeming tickets, & the wealth gap keeps getting wider from it.
Maybe you should try doing the same with the SDPlus boxes, that you did with the tickets.
You're still receiving a custom item made from your specifications. Again, we don't want to limit tickets simply because someone is rich but we're open to suggestions that would make everyone happy. Zero Omega Vannequin Item/Misc.
I recently noticed that the sticky for the Makeover Kit ticket is no longer in the Project Custom forum. Are there any plans to re-release this ticket in the future? It's possible we'll release the ticket in the future, we remove the sticky when the tickets have been redeemed and they aren't available anymore. milkbun Rotchu ItemsQuestion: For users that have submitted for rainbow ticket recolors could they get an ETA after the mocks step? Instead of just the 30-60 business days. Sorry it's really hard to predict this when mocks are sent out as it depends on the number of CIs available in the near future, when they are and how many recolors are waiting to go out. Otherwise I can tell you that yours is coming out in a few days ^ u ^. milkbun Shrimp_Man ItemsWho would I ask about finding out if a pose would be possible for a Platinum ticket? You can use the same email that's on the Rules/FAQ page and I'll answer~

April 13th, 2015: Finni Kid Jak ItemsCan we please get a few more Rainbow paws tickets released in a Paws re-release rig? several paws items could use more copies. There's been a few put back into circulation! But for future (and for even more), of course this can be considered for the future. heart  Finni Kid Jak ItemsIn the past if a golden ticket item would sell out it upped the chance of it getting a recolor. as far as I remember all the Golden Paws Tickets have sold out, will any of them be getting recolors? We are currently not in the process of recoloring any of the sold-out furs created from Golden Paw tickets; however, this may change in the future.  milkbun VG Tryx Items Not sure if it goes under this category but it's been 36 days since my ticket was accepted and I still have not received my first round of mocks, is this normal? It takes us 30 to 60 business days to complete the item and you will receive mocks around the half way mark, however sometimes it can take a little longer. When it does we try to finish it up faster so you still receive it it in time. I should have mocks for you soon, they're being worked on smile

April 27th, 2015: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: Items Why do Sapphires cost 2000 Fragments to craft? That's a much higher Fragment-per-Post cost than any of the Gold variants, even Babys... you could spend those 2000 Fragments on 4 Golden Tickets, and get 24 poses instead of the Sapphire 15. Or 1500 Fragments on 3 Golden Tickets, and still get 3 more poses over a Sapphire. And that's not even counting the additional bonus poses that come with splitting your concept across multiple items. I'm finding these numbers pretty confusing. What 500-Fragment worthy benefit is there of getting an item released as an REI rather than a collection of LQIs? The Evolving Item creation as part of the Sapphire Ticket includes working with Gaia staff to create a story, spread over 6 separate announcement updates, that will be included in the weekly EI reports. This is also an opportunity to invent part of Gaia's canon, as characters and stories presented in these reports are sometimes used in future chance items or continued in additional evolving items. As such, it requires more work involving multiple staff members to approve and edit this item type. bluealaris Castiel Lover ItemsWHY did you make winning tickets even harder, with these ticket fragments? Instead of a chance to win a ticket, we now get a chance to win 1/1000th of a ticket?? Did you do the math for how much it'd cost to make even a ONE POSE ticket?? You're basically insuring that only the super rich will ever get these tickets. I pray to god you don't do this to Ruby tickets or the rest of them, and still give chances to win the gold type tickets in future chance items. Winning ticket fragments is a way to distribute far more rewards and allow users a greater chance at questing for them. For instance, it is much more likely for a larger number of people to win a semi-rare fragment and slowly collect them over time than a single super rare ticket. It also allows for users who don't want them to have a stable and desired reward that they can sell on the MP that aren't totally unaffordable except by a few very wealthy exchangers. Finni Sexallence FeaturesWill there ever be a project astra ticket ? This question has been asked multiple times in the past, so I will link you to my last response here: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/ask-the-staff-archive/ask-the-staff-23-mar-2015-closed/t.96400087_414/#414 Quote: Unfortunately, we cannot allow the creation of custom Astra animated items. There are a myriad of limitations to the animated item system that does not allow us to accommodate a majority of the user requests we have already seen, so we have decided not to allow this item type to be customizable. My apologies! You can check the Asked the Staff guild for archives of previous questions that have been asked. I'll try to see if we can't compile an FAQ so that we can link it in future AtS so that everyone has easier access to those frequently asked questions. Thanks!  bluealaris E U R Y D l C E ItemsWill there be other ways to acquire gold fragments that do not involve GC? Yes, there will be. bluealaris Stanford Condition ItemsOnce upon a time, there was a suggestion you might run a contest of writing a story for an EI to land you a Sapphire Ticket. Any plans for this in the (not so) distant future? Personally, I wouldn't mind just writing the story and seeing what item the artists came up with, but that's because writing>art for me. We do have plans for a writing contest in the near future, however we will likely offer other prizes than the Sapphire Ticket. bluealaris Flint Jakobs ItemsHow many(-ish) Golden Fragments are out there currently, and is there going to be a limit to how many are released? surprised Several hundred are floating out there in the great unknown- waiting to be crafted. bluealaris Diosu Hey I've been keeping my avatar unchanged, how are you feeling on the consideration of adding the other tickets to the Bifrost? I----- can't resist. The allure of your cold vampire bod. It compels me to put Old Pete's ticket into Alchemy. emotion_awesome milkbun Halloween Network itemsQuestion: BABY GOLDEN TICKET RULES: it said: Your set is limited to one pose. Your set may only have one hidden pose maximum. You are allowed one round of revisions after you receive a pixelled mock of your set. Your set must not include animated poses, companion poses, copyrighted materials, or poses that are abusive towards other users or staff members. Your set must not be identical or compete with items currently existing on Gaia Online. Your set must not, in the sole discretion of the Sponsor, contain any sexually explicit, profane, disparaging, libelous or other inappropriate content. Your set must not, in the sole discretion of Sponsor, contain any commercial content that promotes any product or service. We have full discretion to deny any design if we feel it is not appropriate for Gaia Online. Any other questions can be discussed through the email project-custom@gaiaonline.com so I can create a "IM" Body? You can create an I AM as long as it it not full avatar base size (as that's closer to a companion). Something the size of our pets would be acceptable.

May 4th, 2015: bluealaris Fibonacci To Infinity Items/Alchemy These guys. Don't get me wrong, these Golden Fragments (Which I & a few friends have been calling them Jiggies for nostalgia's sake.), are a great thing. However...The rarity of them is way too extreme for the cost of them & what is needed to make tickets. I'm trying my hand at making one because I REALLY REALLY want an item made, but with the forced rarity of these things makes it extremely hard for someone who doesn't always have the funds for them. They are only being offered in coupons & in the CI's in the Cash Shop.This isn't very fair to those who don't always have the money to even try their hand at getting one. Also it seems like they are getting more & more useful in Alchemy, such as the new options with the Dark Eclipse item having them for an option. I understand the need for rarity of these Fragments, but if they are going to become more prevalent in Alchemy then they need to be more common than they already are. So here's my options on fixing the solution:1. Have them as a more permanent feature in the CS or The Bifrost for a relatively decent price. (Even if they are worth GCash) 2. Have a crafting option to make these much like the Golden Giftboxes we had a while back.We're allowed to make other components by crafting, why not these too? 3. Have them as a rare drop in Caches or the Alchemy Grab Bags. Granted a very rare drop, but one none the less. Thanks for this suggestion! We are planning to release the Golden Fragment via. Alchemy and through chance drops as well. milkbun Twisted Lady FeaturesIn the Project Custom forum, could we get a sticky that just lists all the different kinds of tickets and what they do? It's a real pain sometimes trying to remember which tickets do what and searching out the individual threads for them. Thank you for the suggestion. I definitely plan to clean up the stickies and make ticket types easier to find as we have so many now. bluealaris OtherWorldShukumei Item/FeatureWith all of these Tickets flying around, have you considered a Project Alchemist Ticket? Let a user design a formula (components and gold required, level & chance of success) for an already-existing item. There are exceptions, of course, so that a user cannot design a formula for an item that is limited quantity, Monthly Collectible, already has a formula, and other restrictions. Hmm, I think that this would be best utilized if the user also had a unique item created along with it, since releasing an item that has already had its worth determined by the general Gaian populace would lead to astounding displays of greed (aka. 1 angelic halo = trash + common CI drop + cache item, that would take an extraordinarily amount of time to curate). milkbun Lady Twilight Rahl ItemsWas wondering when to contact someone about my project ticket status. Been just over a month since it was approved and I've heard nothing back. You can always reply to your original email though I don't always have a specific answer. It takes us 30 to 60 business days to complete an item and mocks may be sent any time in between (but usually around the half way mark). I can tell you that your item has been picked up from queue and currently being worked on so I should have mocks really soon~ milkbun Azura Cantarella Items/Features?You've released custom item tickets in gold CIs before, namely the Citrine Ticket and the Blank Pillowcase. Would you consider releasing a "Project Fandom" (or "Project Cosplay", if that wording suits it better) ticket in which a user can request a homage item for their game/anime/manga/etc. of choice? surprised (It would be best for it to be a gold CI ticket because that would skirt the copyright issues...right?) While we can't do anything too close, parody is allowed so any of our golden tickets can be useable in this case. milkbun Parexus ItemsAfter sending an email for a Custom Doll is it to late to change the avatar for one of the poses. I haven't received my initial reply for mine yet. Never too late, just reply back to your email with the updated order form.

May 11th, 2015: milkbun HM04 Items: how long does it typically take to approve a club verge sd box? I have waited over 14 working days for a response
i've had two other sd dolls made in the past and the approval has never took this long i worry that my email wasn't even recieved on your end
to other ticket/box holders i'm not trying to push in front i'm just asking thanks I did receive your email and should be getting to approvals soon. Sorry for the wait, sometimes it gets a little busy crying bluealaris Kiro_Shinigami Alchemy/ Crafting
Golden fragments! I know its supposed to be RARE and elite! but can there be MORE golden fragments for less $$$? Can some of the other creative gaians get a change to make something UNIQUE please? Golden Fragments are in many releases that require very little in GC, and some luck- we're also planning on making the craft-able through alchemy.

May 18th, 2015: bluealaris Flint Jakobs ItemsCan we get more Golden Fragments circulating? emotion_kirakira The going has been decent thus far, but it feels like there aren't very many available, outside of the ones that can be spawned from the month-long tier. Also, thank you for putting a ticket in Flynn's Plunder, that's looking to be a great way to sink gold from the right people. 3nodding We'll be putting more Gold Fragments into circulation soon. 3nodding bluealaris Darc Nightgale Not exactly sure where this would go.
Hi! Any word when the people with the Emerald tickets will be in the shops. I got an e-mail back 2 weeks ago, and they said they would try to get us into the shops that week. It's been 2 weeks since then, and almost 60 days. I'm just wonderin', since I'm super excited to be in the cash shop, and I really want my achievement. emotion_kirakira Please and thank you. heart Very soon! I'm excited to see all the handsome/beautiful assistants in our stores. bluealaris Flint Jakobs Features:Also, have any tickets been crafted from alchemy, so far? :3 Not yet, but there are many Gaians who are getting close. 3nodding Finni Foxtrot Fallout Items/Tickets For Golden ticket poses, can one be a skin? nothing abnormal, but like dye. Yes. 3nodding If you have custom ticket-specific questions, you may email them at any time to project-custom @ gaiaonline.com instead of waiting for AtS!  bluealaris XonyMudd Here's a tough one. Misc/CouponsAt 5:04 pm PDT on May 3, 2015 there was a coupon announcement. One of the coupons in this announcement, which could be used thrice before expiring on May 4th at 4:59 pm PDT, was the Golden Fragment Coupon. This coupon guarantees a Golden Fragment, which can be used in alchemy to create tickets, by purchasing at least 10,000 GC, which would be spending a hundred or more in American dollars. Thus, by making three of the minimum $100 purchases of Gaia Cash using this coupon, a user who can afford to spend $300 during the almost 24 hour time period, would receive 3 Golden Fragments. Why was this coupon created, and are you aware that it may appear to cater towards users who have a larger offsite expendable income, guaranteeing them, over all other users, Golden Fragments instead? Edit: fixed the bold tag. Also, I've been meaning to ask this question 2 weeks ago, but kept missing AtS. I only have one more hard hitting question, but I'll save it for later on in this thread if I get to it. It -is- on the same subject. The release of Golden Fragments through a Coupon, especially a higher tier coupon is this: They are meant to be hard to get, and Gaians that take the step to invest in collecting them are rewarded with some of the most exclusive items on the site. Do you have to buy GC to get a Golden Fragment? No- all you have to do is save your gold and purchase it from the MarketPlace. Finni Vannequin Items/Tickets
Has anyone won the Tailored Stylist Pattern ticket yet?
This bunny is too tired to go digging around in everyone's inventories to see if they got a ticket! gonk But if you're asking if anyone redeemed one yet, then no. (PS Check your email! heart ) Finni JanJiz Items:I like the way that you made the monthly collectibles equippable. Would you be willing to make the tickets have an equip pose too? Since there are so few tickets in comparison to letters, it might be an easier task. smile We don't plan to make tickets holdable because we don't want to encourage ticket hoarders. redface  milkbun VG Tryx Items I just had my user recolor "tryxachu" released. It seems as if the "I am Tryxachu" pose is glitches and appears as grunny when moving, is there something the staff at Gaia Online can do to fix this for me? Ahh sorry! We'll get it fixed within the next few days. bluealaris Lithium Filth FeaturesQuestion Are there any plans to make other tickets alchemizable, like ruby, rainbow, emerald and paw tickets? There are! We are still working out formulas for them and watching the natural procession towards the crafting of the 4 that are currently in Alchemy to get an idea of what we can expect in terms of workload for our Art Team.

June 1st, 2015: Finni Renaissance TicketsRainbow ticket rules say we must stay inside the pixels. Can we make the image larger or smaller if we want? If you're referring to submitting a user-created item mockup with the image itself blown up to 200 or 300%, that's fine! However, you cannot add pixels to the item or erase pixels from the item either. If you have more questions, you can send an email to project-custom @ gaiaonline.com
