Teadragon pets are coming to Elanith and debuting at Ebon Gate! We will have a few methods of obtaining one, so I’m going to hit those highlights, and then in the comments share more.

Methods to Obtain
Guaranteed: Buy at the pet shop for 250,000 soul shards. These will all initially look exactly alike, and they will all always be a “common” teadragon.

Luck!: there will be an initial “bargain raffle” for 2 winners, followed by 1 set of spins for soul shards, followed by 1 set of spins for silvers. Dates/times are to be deterimined, and they will be announced, but that is the order (so even if I split it across several days…the bargain raffle is first).

Other Luck!: there may be a couple show up in the Trove or as a GHOUL prize…

Raffle/Spin Rules & Info
Must be present and awake to win
Must bind the teadragon to you upon receipt
If not all teadragons go out during these offerings, it will be up to me what I do with them, if anything. I might hold on to them, randomly distribute via other means, etc.
Prime: 2 via bargain raffle, 10 via soul shard spins, 10 via silver spins. Plat: 1, 3, and 3.
Ones released this way will be allowed to randomize at creation. Common type will still be the most common, but you have chances for albino, crested, jade, polychromatic, qakoni, shidaran, and summer also.

Pricing:
OTS: 250K soul shards
Bargain raffle: 100K silvers per ticket
Soul shard spins: 50K soul shards
Silver spins: 500K

Teadragons use a summoning device, similar to mandrakes, lambs, etc. This device is a lidded teabowl. The analyze will tell you all about alteration restrictions and allowances too!

You analyze your mereagate teabowl and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The physical appearance of your mereagate teabowl can be changed.

This teabowl is a summoning device that will call a teadragon pet. The teadragon inside is a common teadragon.

Teabowl Alterations:
* Teabowl’s base, long, and show can be altered normally, but the noun MUST remain teabowl
* Teabowl will always reference a lid in the messaging, so do not contradict this

Teadragon Alteration Information:
* Pet must be DISMISSed before any alterations can occur (they are done on the teabowl)
* The type of teadragon cannot be changed except occasionally a service may be held to change between the two non-rare types, crested to uncrested and vice versa
* Rare teadragons have specific requirements and limitations.
* See https://gswiki.play.net/Erithi_Teadragon for documentation
