The following is general information on pricing for elnin MYO edits. This is not a sales post.
------------------
o6.11.23 :: Cleaned up and moved to a new post for general referencing for sales moving forward.
------------------
◆ Base slot cost:
Consider this cost as the last step! You do your adjustments, and wherever you end up at once those are finished is what decides this cost.
To put it another way, you are not buying an "Adventurer" slot with 9 mp to play with, you pay the "Adventurer" slot price if your elnin's final growth mp lands in the 5-9 range.
Nestling [0-1mp] : $40
Villager [2-4mp] : $55
Adventurer [5-9mp] : $75
Noble [10-13mp] : $200
◆ Base slot breakdown:
What is and isn't covered.
The absolute basic type of growth is a straight growth to adulthood. No additional mp besides what they were born with- that means their adult hair/ear fluff length and tail sizes are all default 0mp.
The cost of the slot is determined by the stats that your elnin ends up with when they finish their growth.
Examples:
Basic: If you currently have a kittom with a 1mp tail and no crown and decided not to purchase any adjustments to their mp or stats, then they would grow into a Nestling with a total of 1mp (from their tail style) and the slot cost would be $40.
Gettin fancy: However, if you have a kittom with a 4mp tail and a 4mp crown, and purchase three additional mp to make the tail 3MP, it would give them a grand total of 11mp and the rank of Noble. And let's say you'd also like it to have the starlit suffusion that one of the parents had. The total cost of the growth would be $30 for the 3mp addition + $200 for the Noble rank +$25 for a parent mutation = $255.
Minor adjustments to markings and colors are allowed with no additional cost. Minor meaning that the overall color and tone of the design is the same. You can make small shifts in hue or small adjustments to markings like adding 'eye shadow' style markings or removing some stripes on the legs if you think they're too busy etc etc. Any changes should feel like it suits a natural progression from being a baby to being an adult. I'd generally be more accepting of changes that mirror features present on parents.
Deciding hair/ear fluff color: Any combination of colors present on the kittom are fine to use. You may also add additional color highlights if they are present on either of the parents- but please do not, say, change their hair from solid blue to solid brown if there is no brown present on the kittom. In that case I'd ask that you do primarily blue (or any color already present on the kittom) with brown highlights/streaks/etc. If you’d like to use a color not already present on the kittom, this will incur an additional edit fee.
------------------
◆ Additional mp : $10 per 1mp added- This is specifically for mp to use for increasing length/size for existing stats.
◆ Purchasing a new crown or tail: If there was none before. This will automatically add the inherent mp for the style.
1mp style: $20
3mp style: $40
4mp style: $60
◆ Upgrading a tail or crown to a higher mp tier: Cost would be $5 plus the difference between the current and new style based on the above listed prices. Examples: Going from 1mp crown to 3mp would be $25. 1mp to 4mp would be $45.
◆ Downgrading a tail or crown to a lower mp tier or dropping a mutation (if no other USD purchases are being made for a growth/edit/upgrade): $5
◆ Swapping tail or crown styles within the same tier : $10
◆ Hybrid Traits:
$100 for a hybrid tail, which is always 5mp ($80 if a parent has one). Hybrid tails can look like whatever you want as long as they are fur/hair based styles. No lizard tails or tentacles etc xD.
Crown costs are calculated by adding $40 ($20 if the parent had a hybrid crown) to the highest value of the two crown types you are mushing together. Final mp value of a hybrid crown is 1mp more than the highest value present. If a crown is already present on the elnin, you would subtract the cost of that crown and add $5 for the upgrade.
Examples: if you're doing a simple fractal diadem (1mp x 1mp), the cost would be $60 and the crown would be 2mp. If you're doing complex fractal wisp (3mp x 4mp) it would be $100 and the crown would be 5mp.
Example 2: if your elnin has an existing witchlight crown and you want to upgrade to a 5MP hybrid and one of the parents has a hybrid crown, the cost would be $60 (value of highest crown type in the hybrid: 4MP) + $20 (parent discount) - $60 (existing 4MP crown on elnin) + $5 (crown upgrade) = $25
◆ Mutations: See the [Mutation List] for the full list of available mutations and prices.
**If a mutation is not listed, it is not available for purchase.**
◆ Medium changes to colors/markings: $35. See our info on the World of Eyre site for what medium edits include.
◆ Major changes to colors/markings: N/A - would prefer not to have babies growing up into completely different elnins if possible xDc
------------------
Generally, the same guidelines and prices apply if you're upgrading or editing an adult elnin.
The price for rank-ups can be adjusted *IF* your elnin has already paid for their base rank through a growth or previous rank-up. So if you grew a kittom to an adventurer and want to now make them a noble, then you'd be able to subtract the $75 from the $200 noble rank. Otherwise the price for the rank upgrade remains as listed.
------------------
Note: The cost of the growths/edits/rankups will be added to your elnin's resale cost.
Q: When can I submit my growth for approval?
A: Any time our Design Updates system is open on site. This is usually year round unless specified in a news post that moderators are on a break.
Q: Do I have to use my growth/rank up/edit slot right away?
A: Nope, once your elnin's growth/rank up details are posted to their masterlist entry under their “Notes” tab, you are welcome to hold off on growing them until you're ready. There's no time limit, feel free to spend more time with your new babies!
Q: Can I do mixed USD/EC/SC/AP purchases?
A: USD purchases cannot be mixed with EC/SC/AP purchases at the time you are purchasing edits/rank ups/updates with USD. Once your USD purchases are added to your existing elnin’s notes tab, then you can add on other EC/SC/AP purchases when you go to submit your design update with the new art for your elnin.
Q: So I can just buy mutations for my elnins if I'm not doing a growth/rank up?
A: Yes, I will do mutation-only adjustments to kittoms and adults. But please note that not all mutations are available for purchase at this time (wings/subtype-exclusives/etc).
