How to Make a Purchase

In order to purchase an item, please use the code provided below each category of items. Fill out the form, and post it to this thread using the account you want the item to be applied to, when applicable! Please only post complete purchase forms that are ready to be processed. If you need more gems, or have not figured out the name of the character the item(s) will be applied to, wait until you have everything to post.

If you have gems under Gemstone Credits, you may use the gems to buy any items that aren't account-specific (i.e. pack creations and pack challenges).

Concerning Refunds

Refunds are allowed and are to be posted here, so long as the item was never used. If your purchases were applied to a new character you may be refunded for those purchases so long as that character has less than ten posts. That character will then be deleted. Refunds will not be given for the "Extra Pups" item. All refunded gems will be added to our GEMSTORE CREDIT thread.

Note: In the case of seeking refunds on adopted characters with over ten posts, please contact a staff member for approval.

Character slots can now be refunded for 50% of their original purchase price.

Inheriting Items and Companions

We do allow companions and physical items (objects only, not dye or paint) to be passed from one character to another, most often in the case of one character's death. The price of the item or companion will be discounted to half the Gemstone Store price. If this is done, a link to the original character's purchase must be provided, so that it can be marked as no longer valid, and the original character may no longer be posted with that companion or item.

Discounts from Parents

If either parent of an on-site litter has a rare trait that can be purchased, the item is 25% discounted for the pup’s player. If both parents have this trait then the item is 50% discounted. These traits include extra height, albinism, melanism, abnormal color, odd colored markings, canine passes, large/small species passes, etc. See more details in Mating & Litter Rules.

Accessories

If purchasing an item for your character, please give a brief description or reference picture of the item so it can be determined if you are purchasing the correct type.

Cost	Item	Description
200	Companion Accessory	This item is a single accessory for your wolf's companion. The accessory can be no larger than half of the size of the companion or take up over half of its body. A small set (2-3) of bracelets, bangles, or minor necklaces are included in this as an option.
250	Small Accessory	This is a small accessory, such as a small necklace (beads or single decoration with no more than one small pendant), two feathers, or something similar. A set of up to 2-3 small bracelets or bangles is allowed, or a single larger bracelet within reason. Non-permanent paint or other dyed fur is considered an accessory. If you have questions, or another item in mind, please feel free to message us.
400	Large Accessory	This is a large accessory, such as a large necklace with multiple pendants, up to three piercing sets (as getting a necklace on a wolf is easier than piercings), and bundles of up to 6 feathers. Large accessories also include items such as bags/satchels, headgear, clothing items, and so forth. Scarification falls under this category as well.
400	Battle Accessory (Offensive & Defensive)	An accessory that can be used in battle, whether used offensively or defensively.

Character Customization

If purchasing markings for a character, please check with a staff member to be certain you are purchasing the correct marking type for your design, or post a reference of the design in your purchase.

Cost	Item	Description
800	Albinism	An albinism pass is required if your character has any two or more of the following traits: majority (50%+) white/cream/ivory pelt, red/pink eyes, and pink nose or pawpads. Note that it says majority white pelt, meaning that even if there is a bit of color doesn't mean that it doesn't count, in a form of albinism called "partial albinism" or "piebaldism". If the base coat color is white and it covers more than 50% of the character's body it will count as mostly white.
800	Melanism	A melanism pass is required for any character with a black coat and black eyes. Note that black eyes on any coat color will require this purchase.
1200	Full Abnormal Color	Allows a character's base color to be something unnatural. See the Character Creation page of the Guidebook for info on natural vs. unnatural colors. Please note, every base color needs its own purchase for Full Abnormal Color. For example, if your wolf is all orange and yellow, then two full abnormal color passes will need to be bought. However, if they are yellow and red they may have some orange in between where the two colors would mingle, but appearing in the design by itself it would count as a third color.
800	Odd Colored Markings	Allows a character to have minor markings that are unnatural colors. See Character Creation page of the Guidebook for info on natural vs. unnatural colors. Please note, every different colored marking (not shade!) needs its own purchase.
400	Regular Shaped Markings	Allows a character to have geometric shaped markings (i.e. hearts, stars, circles, perfect dots, etc).
300	Odd Shaped Markings	Allows a character to have extreme swirls or any irregularly shaped pattern on its coat.
200 Per Inch	Extra Height	Allows a character to be created over 36" height. The max purchasable height from the Gemstone Store is 42", anything past 42" is only obtainable via. site donation/event reward. Purchase is per inch.
200 Per Inch	Height Reduction	Allows a character to be created under 23" height. The minimum purchasable height from the Gemstone store is 17". Purchase is per inch.

Companion Purchases

If purchasing a companion, you must provide a brief description of species, gender, and size so that it can be determined if you are purchasing the correct type. In addition that information must be put in the Miscellaneous box on the character's profile (along with a brief physical description if they differ in appearance from others of their species, i.e. an albino crow or a silver fox with red eyes) for others to make note of.

Cost	Item	Description
500	Large Companion	Your character may have up to two companions. A large companion must be less than 25" tall (reptiles and birds are an exception). For birds, companion's wingspan cannot exceed 50". For reptiles, they cannot exceed 50" in total length.
300	Small Companion	Your character may have up to two companions. A small companion must be less than 12" tall (reptiles and birds are an exception). For birds, companion's wingspan cannot exceed 25". For reptiles, they cannot exceed 25" in total length. Note that these companions may not be used for battle (attack) unless a battle upgrade is purchased, though small birds can be used for flying (perception) in fights.

Character Passes

Cost	Item	Description
250	Canine Pass	Allows creation of any species/hybrid of any species/hybrid that falls under the Canine species. This allows non-wolf canine traits, i.e. floppy ears, curly fur, etc. Any dog, coyote, or any kind of wolf hybrid needs to have a canine pass purchased. This includes Maned Wolves, as they are not a subspecies of wolf. You can make a dog/wolf hybrid, but this would require a pass. Any percentage of cross-species hybridization would require a canine pass. Foxes also fall under this category.
400	Small Species Pass	Allows creation of a character of any Species below 23" tall. For birds, wingspan must be 42" or smaller. For snakes, they cannot exceed 4 feet in length.

Misc. Items

Cost	Item	Description
400 Per	Immortality	Allows an extra year of life for your character beyond the normal 10. Purchase is per year. Note that characters cannot live past their season of birth at age 13. Must be purchased during or before the season they officially turn 10, at which age they die by default. When a character hastheir first birthday, they've lived through an entire year. So when they have their 10th birthday, they have already lived through 10 years and their birthday marks the start of their 11th year. That's why they have to buy the pass within a week of turning 10, and why they auto-die as soon as they turn thirteen.
400 Per	Character Slot	Unlocks an extra active character slot, after reaching the site limit of 11.
200 Per	Territory Expansion	Allows a pack to claim one additional territory to your pack, and increases the member cap by 13 members. Pack members may contribute a maximum of 100 gems total to this cost, but the rest must be paid by the Primary alpha. Max of one purchase allowed.
