I'm currently working on fixing up several sections of these forums but there is A LOT of Sphinxy info to be sorted and over 12 years (closing in on 13 as I'm typing) of story, lore, rules and more... and there are lots of loose little strings of info that can get jumbled or confusing. Even Pooka and I sometimes mix up how we think some things are meant to work sometimes, (-8
How to you get your Sphinx Certed? How do I get a partridge pet? Why are there cowboys in your Egyptian setting?
Feel free to ask me anything here and I'll send you in the right direction and perhaps add you question to an FAQ for everyone else, (-8
And always remember there is no stupid questions, but don't count out my ability to give a stupid answer, (-8

I've heard some of the rules about costume recolors during job changes/upgrades might be changing. Will this also affect wigs in any way? Some of my peasant Sphinxes have really lovely wigs, hair color, or both, and I'd like to be able to keep those through any job changes they may undergo.

I seem to remember Ariya Eretsee made a website of everyone's inventories? Is that site still up and running (and if so may I have the link as I don't seem to be able to access it anymore)?  |

(Hope the Pookas don't mind my answering this one) Pretty sure that site is no longer up and running, but everyone's Sphinxes and items are safe on SmugMug now. They're not as easily searchable except by owner, but at least they're no longer at the mercy of PhotoButtFace! Here's where you can find yours: sphinxes.smugmug.com/Owner-Folders/M-O/Nephthys |

I just saw the post Pooka made in the main heb thread as well, that the link is now at the top in the website menu! I love how much more easy it will be to access inventories now  |

Some of my peasant Sphinxes have really lovely wigs, hair color, or both, and I'd like to be able to keep those through any job changes they may undergo. Hiya Spring! I don't think there are any rule changes with job upgrades. I did do two little changes with wigs though, one was that I removed a few wigs that need some fixing and the second was creating the prestige wig category. I created the prestige wig category so we could find a balance with a few things out there... mostly with wigs from very special classes or costumes. Like the Priestess of Bastet hair... the wigs are cool and would work for some other Sphinx builds and we sort of want them out there but also we don't want to take away from the coolness of those particular classes, parts of the things that make them special. When I give someone a job upgrade I always try to keep their hair (or unique items/additional non job costume pieces, etc.) unless specifically requested. Also, if they had a specific hair colour and I am changing the wig I will try to recolour the new wig the same. (for example a peasant with a standard peasant wig in red becomes a ranger, I'd give her the ranger hair and try to make it the same red.) Occasionally there is a bit of difference... like some wigs have been created with slightly different hair shading and such so it might not be exact. I don't usually do any costume recolours with job upgrades, besides the notes about the hair. So the short answer is that I always try to keep the cool stuff when I upgrade someone, (-8 There is a few more detailed descriptions about the exact process of both job upgrades and wigs here... sphinxes.proboards.com/thread/870/egyptian-sphinx-jobs-classessphinxes.proboards.com/thread/871/hairstyles-wigs |

That's a relief that there are most likely no rule changes about keeping wigs and hair colors with job upgrades! I have one peasant in particular whose wig matches her coat color and pattern perfectly as is, and I've been hesitant about upgrading her as a result. Good to know I don't have to worry |

I was curious, I noticed when looking through the wigs that a lot of the previously gender flipped wigs are not listed anymore. Does that mean they are no longer available for both genders? Two examples I can currently think of XD Also is it still possible to ask for gender flipped wigs? |

Some of the flipped wigs might make a comeback... a few are on the list for a review or tweaking to make the work. Most were never meant to be reversed and need more work to look right... but it's often easier to draw a new wig.
So, at the moment if they are not in the sample area they are not available.
Some might get added back in depending on a few factors in the future and the team might still use them, or parts of them as well. (and really there is only a tiny list of them... this current event alone we've added way more wigs then I took off the list, (-8)

Ok so I have an Oc I wanted to get as a custom. My character has wings that were damaged during war. (he use to be a solder) I want to get him the steam wings but I also want wings to be passible to offspring later since he did previously have wings. (story wise) is there any way for me to do that with a custom or should I just get him normal wings?

Interesting question! ...For now, that seems like an easy request so yes, simply make a note of it when you send in your custom and we'll add a note to the file.
I might have to change my mind on this one in the future if I stumble on a problem I can't see atm... (and that would be for future things, and not affect what was already done/declared.)

If you get a necromancer as a custom, does it come with the optional face mod? I know when you win the upgrade you have the option of changing the face along with the upgrade, but I wasn't sure if the face mod counts as part of the "costume"

I know when you win the upgrade you have the option of changing the face along with the upgrade, but I wasn't sure if the face mod counts as part of the "costume" When you get a Necromancer through customs you may get the necromancer face mod as part of the costume if you wish. (no extra cost.) I don't add the face mod with any other type of usual upgrade (like a voucher or job fair). (Edit: as a history note, I think Pooka did add the face mod as part of a game once while doing a Necromancer job upgrade when they first came out! ...but it is not a standard option.) |
