SPECIAL UPGRADES

Special upgrades are upgrades that don't really fit within the standard sections and consist of limited event upgrades, breeding exclusive, subspecies related upgrades, and more! These upgrades usually don't have requirements to fill in order to get them, save for things like subspecies upgrades. You usually get these upgrades as a prize!

IMAGE PLACE HOLDER

Just a nice little banner, flavor art

We ask that you please try to follow the example images!

You do not have to copy the image exactly as we allow artistic liberty/interpretation just make sure it's:

1. Recognizable

2. Not mimicking other upgrades

Unless stated otherwise upgrades start out accent colored, the base color, or any secondary colors. "Any color on your auri" means base, accent, or secondaries.

The collar color may NOT be used to color upgrades UNLESS stated specifically otherwise.

How do I apply an upgrade?

To apply a trait you need to:

Make sure you've met any requirements/prerequisites (Bells, ages, drawing, writing, etc)
Draw the trait on the aurillion you want it for and submit it to general art!
List the upgrade(s) applied in the description

You also need to include proof of your traits in the description!

It really helps us when you list things out as it makes moderation run a lot smoother and easier, so we do ask that you include upgrade proof in all submissions!

What about the top 3rd eye? Can that be upgraded separately?

No, it cannot. All the eyes must match unless you have the limited upgrade Heterochromia. This includes colors, eye ad-ons, etc.
For example, you add Pupils to your auri, unless they have Heterochromia ALL eyes must have the pupils. If you then applied Colored Pupils the pupils would all have to be the same color.

Similarly for the limbs, each pair (front legs/arms and back legs) must match unless you have the limited upgrade Chimera Legs.

For example, you can choose to have Hooves on the back legs and Fingers on the front legs. But the right leg cannot have Fingers and the left one have Paws. They MUST match.

Can I use any upgrade items to get any of these?

Yes and no.

Re-application upgrades are noncompatible with any upgrade items.

Upgrades in the sections Mutations & Diseases and Breeding sections cannot be gained with items UNLESS a moderator has given you a specific upgrade voucher. These are usually handed out as compensation upon auri donations or won from events.

Limited upgrade vouchers can also be given for auri donations. Special upgrade idols can be won in events that can be used to gain Limited upgrades as well.

Subspecies, Synthetic, and Injuries follow the same upgrade ring/bracelet/pendant/X system as regular upgrades.

Magic upgrades use a different system with only two items; magic mist (for levels 1 & 2) and magic wisps (levels 3 & 4). Celestial & Corrupt upgrades can not be gained through mists or wisps normally.

★ - An Upgrade Ring may be used to bypass requirements.

★★ - An Upgrade Bracelet may be used to bypass requirements.

★★★ - An Upgrade Pendant may be used to bypass requirements.

X - No upgrade items may be used to bypass requirements.

M - A Magic Mist may be used to bypass requirements.

W - A Magic Wisp may be used to bypass requirements.

A trait has requirements that don't make sense!

If you aren't sure what the requirement is asking for, you can ask for help in #general-help and a staff member can clarify it for you!

If there's a typo/etc. you can report this in the #error-bin channel and a staff member will fix it ASAP!

Do these upgrades have age restrictions?

Upgrades that have to be earned through normal-ish means such as Subspecies upgrades and Magic upgrades do abide by normal rules.

Upgrades won as prizes or from breeding tend to be available to both adults and auri.

Please read each upgrade card carefully!

A trait from the old website isn't on the new one, what do I do?

The upgrade in question may have either been discontinued, renamed, or repurposed/redesigned! If you can't find the upgrade you're looking for, feel free to ask a staff member in #general-help so we can help you out!
