And I think he belongs to me because he's following me around. So I'm naming him Peyton after Peyton Manning because I've been a fan of Peyton Manning since he was a QB, first with the Colts and then the Broncos. Yiihaa!

Hiya everyone!

I'm a newbie and I stumbled upon Sylestia as a Google search result.

My name's Ariel and I like the colors blue, teal, green, gold/yellow and red.

I'm also a Trekkie, so Live Long and Prosper everyone and I hope I fit in. And of course, I'd like to make some friends. :D

Hey there!

I love your name - is it by chance a reference to the Ingenuity helicopter? Anyway, welcome to Sylestia! You'll find that the community is pretty chill and cool, so you'll have no problem fitting in.

I noticed you posted on the newbie mentoring thread. Are you still searching for a mentor? I'm not on there, but I'm willing to be your guide if you want ^-^

Edit:

Some tips to get you started:
- When you reply to someone on a thread, you can click on the little blue '@' sign at the bottom right of their post. That way, they will be 'pinged' and will get a notification of your response.
- There is a wonderful section of the forums dedicated to guides, so if you ever get lost on something you can check there.
- From the guides, here's one for getting started, and here's one for battling.

The guides Aphelion mentioned are all wonderful to use when starting out. Heres another one that's all about making gold, I used this one a lot when starting out!

I know you're still pretty new but do you have a favorite sylesti breed yet?

Hiya Aphelion,

Nice to meet you and thanks for welcoming me and answering my questions.

No it's not a reference to the Ingenuity Helicopter despite the fact that I've been an Aviation Enthusiast since childhood.

I'm multilingual and have at least one favorite word in each language that I'm fluent in. Ingenuity is one of my favorite English words. So basicly, this ...



Thanks a lot for linking me to the guides and for the tip about the little blue @ sign being a pinging method.

Hiya Jupiterr,

Thanks for welcoming me and linking me to the gold guide. As for whether I have a favorite Sylesti breed yet, originally I was going to create an Aurleon as my starter pet because they looked like Phoenixes but I somehow ended up with a Kitsune - Sphinx Catlike Zolnixi instead. So to answer your question, I guess I would say Aurleons and Zolnixis.

By the way, I have some questions about pets:


1. How/when do I get the ability to generate another pet? I'd like to generate an Aurleon as my next pet.

2. The pet I named Alexis Shepard was won from completing an Available Offer/freeing a creature in the Fall Festival Spooky Shop by paying some coins. As you can see from the following screenshot, when I checked my pets in my Stables, I see that Alexis Shepard is "Hungry". How do I fix this problem?



~Ariel

In order to generate another pet you will need to first receive an essence. You get this by nurturing pets on the nurturing grounds. The drop rate is pretty rare so there's really no telling when you will get them or what type of essence you will receive. You can also purchase them off the trade broker, right now regular Aurleon essence is going for 10k, but you can also get Enhanced and Mystical essences which will allow you to generate more traits for your pet. I actually have an Enhanced Aurleon essence that I won't be using so I can send it over to you for free! I also have this 6-vis Nevermore Aurleon egg that I can give to you as a gift! Just click on the egg and it will take you to it's page where you can purchase it!



As for your second questions its pretty simple! I attached a screenshot below.



This area is located on the top right of your stables tab, just click feed pets and Alexis will no longer be hungry! Also for future reference the pets you use in your battle party won't lose hunger and therefore don't need to be fed like other pets.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

Thank you very much for answering my questions and giving me the Enhanced Aurleon Essence Jupiterr, and I bought that egg from you.

The only question I've got right now is how long does it take for eggs to hatch?

~Ariel

They take 72 hours to hatch, but can be sped up by nurturing.

Thank you for answering my question Incantamentum :)

~Ariel

I've generated a Phoenix-like Enhanced Aurleon with the Enhanced Aurleon Essence you gave me and named her Callisto. Thanks again Jupiterr. :D
