The Gerbera eyes and Porcelain shade came from the Lazy Daisies. The Eyes in the 2011 RFL were Changing Leaf, Beach Blue, Ice Crystal and Morning Dew. I am thinking it was about a month or so after the release of RFL that I found the Ody Sublime eyes, but am not sure if their release into the gene pool was with the RFLs or not. And there was a twist wtih the 2011 RFLs that the traits introduced in them were not released in the regular staters until several weeks later. There were also several new furs introduced with the RFL that year.
Thanks for clearing that up
I wrote my reply from the top of my head whilst trying to think of other traits that are no longer available from starters and that I haven't been able to find easily in the Secondary Market. I still wonder if those limited edition traits could influence the market in a positive way. I'll leave that consideration to be developed by those with extended knowledge in that area.
I am not consistently hunting new traits, in fact due to my time zone and rl job I can hardly be around when the auctions are held where you normally see the new traits being sold to the higher bidder. My current approach to form new breeding plans is that I breed whatever comes in my starters as hidden if it's one of the furs or eyes I like the most (which are several lol) As I said before I try to breed the starters until I manage to be sure of all the hidden traits which can take several weeks after they are capable of having the first box even more because certain traits might not be present in all starters (like whiskers for instance) and I still can think they simply passed their shown.
Neck, I'm so glad to read stories like yours where you can see positive results as a result of the interaction with KittyCats in it's whole, not only the fun with the breeding process, the do's and don'ts, the familiarity with fantastic people you probably have never seen (not even in pixels) but you can recognize by their kind typing in group chat and the lovely way in which we all have found a common hobby. I think that is what this should be about. To have fun and find the whole process entertaining and delightful
Thank you for sharing your story!
