What on earth are associates?
The Pidge answer to the petpet/compainion/familiar
But pidge dont actually own thier associates do they?
No, Associates are completely free-thinking independant creatures which are in thier own right a pet all to themselves.
Do I have to own a Pidge to own an associate?
Nope
Does my Associate have to befriend a pidge?
No, they can choose not to get along with any pidge if they wish, usually though an Associate trys to be loyal to one pidge at one time although loyalty can wane and they can switch pidge as they please.
How much do associates cost?
Nothing at all!
How do I get one?
You can download the lineart pack for the acssociate you want and get creative colouring and accessorising how you want your pet to look. When you have your pet just right you can then cert them and post them into the 'associate listing' thread for documenting
Can I make a Cosplay Associate?
You can make them, but they wont be RPable im afraid
Oh this is terrible! I cant colour for toffee!/ I dont own Photoshop!
Im sure in time we'll have some accosiate-making minishops popping up, who will happily make you your dream pet, if for a small fee
Why are some Associates listed as unavailable? Ive seen people who own them!
Some Associates are limited to Pidge Owners Only/ or people have gained access to limited pets through events
I really want a Heron Associate! (ect.) Is there any way of making this happen?
If you really want a certain Associate and it isnt listed you can choose to either pay to unlock the breed yourself ,or in the questing thread start up a fund to unlock a breed of choice Unlocking a new breed costs 300k when it is unlocked, it becomes available to everyone and each breed comes in four different linearts. Although you will have to wait for an unlocking slot in the pidge customs.
Can I edit the lineart? I want to put a little scarf on my sparrow, but im not sure if its allowed
Minor edits to the pet such as a different expression, a few extra feathers here and there and any clothing and items are completely fine.
I really like colouring and editing these pets and want to make a colouring/editing minishop, what am I allowed to do?
You can make the minishop in the Associate thread in the Pidge Guild only. (dont make an Associate shop in the breedables forum)
You can charge people gold for your services if you like, just dont swindle folk or you'll be thrown out of the guild so fast your ears will ring XD.
I suppose you could even hold your own Associate flatsale inside your own minishop if you like, just have fun and dont rip people off and pretty much anything goes
Can associates breed?
These pets are pretty much run by the users so if you want your Associate to have offspring go ahead and make some offspring for your pets. Mabye someone might even open up a breeding minishop?
Can My Associate talk?
Your Associate can talk to other birds of the same genus (same lineart batch) or to special pidge who have the whisperer role and specialise in that certain bird breed (at the moment this is the only role that Associates can talk to) other than that its a silent understanding between the pets and the odd simple words that pidge can understand (yes, no, food ect.) You can always collar a whisperer pidge to do the translating XD.
