So with trades being down- are we still able to sell/buy creatures with each other for gold?

And if I'm understanding correctly, gifting can only occur at certain times of the year and is otherwise locked right?

Gifting is only available during special events, yes. Usually Magiversary (Site Anniversary), Halloween and Christmas.

Trading WILL come back, so while you can not trade right now, it will be available again sooner or later. You can make trade deals right now, however, gold and creature transfers will have to be on hold until Trading is fixed again. Kind of, like pre-ordering or "holding" the trade until it can be physically completed.

Gotcha, thank you so much!


Another question about crafting. How is it that I was able to obtain materials? I don't have any of the gemdragons/crystal wings (aside from the one I just crafted).
Is it that whenever you click someone else's relevant egg/hatchling you have a chance of getting the item? Definitely not complaining, just wondering. :)

Yes. For the Artificer crystalwing dragons, click on them or go to the Bestiary and click on them and the Rewin dragons. That's the only way to get the Pygmies. They don't have to be in your lair to obtain the items needed.

I can't for the life of me find where to edit my About Me on my profile. Where is it? I don't have anything on that could be hiding buttons.
Always egglocked. Always. DO NOT MINE MY KEEP. Only click the eggs/hatchlings I've got in the signature or have posted on the forums!
