Puma Pets
-
What is a Pocket Puma?A Pocket Puma is a magical cat that can stand in the palm of your hand. Many have interesting abilities and can help solve complex puzzles.
-
How can I get a Puma?There are several ways to get a puma of your own.
Everyone creates two Progenitor pumas to begin with (or upon return, if you're an older player!)
You can purchase one from another player, or use the Puma Search to help you find that special one you want.
Many users also have free pumas for newbies and will advertise on their signatures.
There are give aways/"flings" done in the Discord chat at times. New members that come to chat may get pumas given to them there too.
Also, you can find one for sale on the Forums "Puma Sales" board.
Lastly, you can buy Tiger Eyes from the Cash Exclusives Shop and use them to buy Orbs from the Gemologist. With Orbs, you can design your own Puma in the Demo's and then make in the Orb Cavern and bring him/her to your Den as a member of your pride. -
Can I create my own Puma?Yes! Aside from your progenitor pumas, you can create more custom pumas with the use of an orb. Visit the custom creator in the Orb Cavern to create a custom puma!
-
How do I find a user's pumas for sale?First you must click on a user's name to go to their profile. On the top right, click on the "view pride" link. That will take you to their pride page, and at the top left you should see a "sales den" link. There is also a Puma Search (PUMA SEARCH) that will allow you to search for Pumas by breed, marking and many other options!
-
Is there a limit of how many Pumas I can own?There is no limit at this time.
-
Will my Pumas die?No, But they can get fairly angry.
-
Can Puma names be changed?Yes, they can. Puma names can be changed whenever you like. You can find the option to rename them under the Manage/Breed tab.
-
Is it necessary to feed Pumas?It is, if you wish to breed them! A comprehensive explanation of this system, the "H3 Meters" can be found here (H3 METERS). Your Pumas will NOT die or disappear if unfed, so you do not need to panic.
-
Markings & Evolutions
-
What is a Marking?Markings are patterns and designs, such as stripes, spots, swirls and other shapes that make up your pumas overall coat appearance.
Pumas can have as many markings as you like, and they may be any color, paradigm, paradigm mix, or combination of color and paradigm!
-
How many markings can there be on a custom Puma?You can have as many markings as you have orbs. Orbs are "stackable" meaning you can use as many or as few as you like. You even get "change" in orbs, for example, if you only wish to use 3 markings out of a 4 marking orb you will get one emerald orb as change.
-
What are Evolutions?Evolutions are additional traits such as wings, fins, quills, saberteeth, claws and more!
They can be applied during custom creation or added to existing pumas using a Morpholixer or Changeling Elixir.
Evolutions can also support their own markings called Enchantments.
-
What are Paradigms?Paradigms are color patterns you can use when making your custom puma. When making customs you can choose a paradigm or a hex color, or the markings/evolutions can be done with a mix of paradigm and a hex color. There is a list of all the paradigms here (PARADIGMS LIST)
-
What are Enchantments?Enchantments are markings that can be added to evolutions on existing pumas.
They can be found in the Evolutionary Enchantments (EVOLUTIONARY ENCHANTMENTS) shop, but sometimes also appear as prizes, or as crafted items.
They are also known as Evo Marks. -
What are Cabochons?Cabochons add special Markings to pumas. Often these markings apply a special effect or animation!
Cabochons are found in the Firefly Trader (FIREFLY TRADER) and also can be obtained from Bone Collector's Crypt.
They are items that can be added onto a puma that is already created.
-
-
Breeding
-
How do I breed Pumas?Your puma cannot be hungry, so be sure to keep them well fed!
You can feed pumas from your inventory, or visiting the Feed Pumas page. A good source of food is the excavation game, or purchasing from the Delicatessen.
You can either find a mate within your own pride, find a mate via the search engines, or use one of our various networking tools such as forums and ads.
Note that if your puma's happiness is over 90%, you also have a chance of bonus kittens! -
How many Pumas are there in a litter?Between 1 and 5.
More than 1 is only possible if the parents are at least 90% happy.
Premium users have a higher chance of bonus kittens! -
How old does a Puma need to be to breed?12 days old, when they turn from "Youth" to "Adult" in Age. They will turn in age at the specific time they were born.
-
How many days are Pumas pregnant before giving birth?5 days unless a Favor of the White Flamingo is used. Using a "favor" will result in an instant birth.
You can purchase Favors in The Barge-in Empurrium -
Is inbreeding allowed?No.
Any two Pumas that share ancestors up to 7 generations back may not be bred together. These Pumas would produce an inbred offspring, which is not allowed. After 7 generations of separation, the gene pool is wide enough that a breeding would be allowed. The system takes care of this for you, so never fear! You cannot accidentally inbreed your Pumas. There is an inbreeding tool (INBREEDING TOOL) that can be used to see if potential mates would be inbred before purchasing one of them. -
What are Prism Scarabs?Scarabs are breeding add-ons that will change the paradigms the kit you breed with them.
