Introductions

Hello, everyone! Hardcore newbie over here ^^

I'd never even heard of this site until it exploded on Tumblr the night of the lunar eclipse. :D It seems pretty fun so far! I have a feeling it'll get better when I have actual, substantial amounts of treasure XD

Oh, I have a quick question about custom skins. According to the instructions, I need to buy a blueprint, but blueprints cost gems, and gems cost real money (and tbh I'd rather buy copic markers ^^). Is there any way to submit custom skins without blueprints?

*Any and all tips are welcome and tip-givers will likely be smothered with my internet hugs*

@Suicidalpickles Why hello there! Welcome to the FR community! ^_^

The whole thing with Tumblr and FR was actually the opposite for me; I was already on this site for quite a while before one of my friends made me create a Tumblr. And then when I randomly decided to check if there was an FR tag, I was bombarded by all the pretty dragons. :D

Anyways, I don't really know much (or anything at all really) about custom skins and accents, but from what I've gathered, if you can't buy a blueprint yourself, perhaps you could work with another user who can? Or if you have enough treasure, maybe ask someone if they would be willing to trade your treasure for their gems so you could buy a blueprint yourself? (I'm not entirely sure about that option though, the treasure to gem conversion can be quite fickle even during the best of times so you'd have to do a bit of research to make sure you'd be getting the most amount of gems possible).

Actually, perhaps the lovely people who post on the "Skins and Accents" forum could better answer your question! C:

@Ceredon Thanks for the welcome and for the info! I'm gonna go do some intense research XD

@Epimetheus Haaay to you, too! Haha I'm slowly figuring things out ^^ thanks for the friend request thing, btw :D
