Duck Legs

Hello everyone 🙂

Today I want to shine the spotlight on the awesome leg trait for our ducks.

Duck Legs traits were released hidden inside of starter ducks on October 8, 2018 with the release of version 1.0! The Duck Legs trait comes from breeding “Starter breed” together or one starter with any other Duck.

From October 20, 2018 through Nov 3, 2018 Amaretto celebrated Halloween with the first Duck Collectors Edition, the Bloody leg was hiding in the 2018 Halloween Edition

On March 9th 2019 Amaretto celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with 2019 Collectors Edition Luck of the Irish animals that you could purchase until March 22nd, 2019. These Horses were hiding the Shamrock Leg!

Silver Glitter Leg was a hidden surprise in the 2019 Filigree Gachas!

Please note that there are currently 10 different Duck Legs available and that these Duck Legs CAN be passed on.

So now it’s time to start making some cool designer ducks matching up these awesome legs to all the other duck traits.  Not sure what is available?  Well check out all the duck traits on the wiki https://duck.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=List_of_Duck_Traits

Happy breeding everyone

It’s getting cold out there! Time to put those socks on!

Hey everyone hope your weekend is off to a great start and that you are staying warm & toasty or cool & chill depending on where you are!

Today I want to shine the spotlight on the awesome sock trait for our horses!

The Sock trait was introduced with the Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses that were on sale from February 7, 2013 through February 22, 2013.

On February 7, 2013 a twist to the Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses was announced. If you breed a Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses with a Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses you will have the ability to get a new trait called Socks.

From October 1, 2013 through October 9, 2013 the Limited Edition 2013 Fall Horses were on sale. By breeding these Limited Editions with any other horse you had the chance at getting 1 of 4 new Sock colors, Black, White, Green or Rainbow.

On Tuesday December 16th Amaretto released the Amaretto 2014 Holiday Horses at all Amaretto Locations!  Hiding inside these were the Winter Snowflake & Candy Cane Sock!  Spring Editions were available from March 20th, 2018 to Tuesday April 3, 2018! Hiding inside these Spring Editions was the Daisy & Plumeria Sock!

Please note that socks are an alternative to hoof traits so you may only have one or the other on a horse.  The Sock trait CAN be passed on.

For a closer look at any of these check them out on the wiki at https://horse.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Socks

Until next time this is Snookie hoping you have a great weekend and a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Breeding!!

Brand History

Something always associated with domesticated horses is a brand. Horse owners have been using brands for centuries to identify their animals, and as a way to help prevent theft. Brands often include initials of the owners names or symbols designating their ranch or business.

Amaretto brands came about during the release of the 3.1 update. The first brands were boot, horseshoe, badge, ankh, skull, heart, hat, and wings. Those have since been put out to pasture but can still be passed from existing lines with them in the background. In June of 2014 Amaretto gave the exciting chance to have a breeder designed brand, when they hosted the Amaretto Country Fair as a fundraiser for Relay For Life. JonSnow2012 Resident created the very first color brand, the Rainbow Star

Since then we’ve had many more colorful brands including the Demon Rage created by Sera Renfew in 2015, the Zombie branding, also user designed from the second Country Fair, and the Moonlight Serenade, from the All I Want For Christmas auction in 2017.

Brands have also come from many gacha horses and LEs. Which is your favorite brand? I’m hoping someday there will be a snake brand LOL

Poppy!

Hello everyone! I wanted to take a few moments to show off some of the Armistice Day Editions Offspring Surprises!

Where is my bundle?

Hey guys hows everyone? Well its Monday again! Yeah we all made it! So a lot of you guys have been having some bundles issues.

Let me shine a little light on the situation, Linden Labs had made some recent changes that have affected the way that some scripted items in world working.

I know that previously that people were getting any where from 1 to 20 bundles under the same mother. Now some people are encountering an issue where they are not getting a good bundle at all.

We are aware of these issues, and we are currently working on a fix we appreciate your patience while we find a work around.

What do you need to do? Well if your horse had more than one bundle and you get a SUCCESSFUL_BUNDLE please delete all other bundles that say “NEVER_RECEIVED_MOTHER_COMMUNICATION” or “MOTHER_HAD_SECOND_BUNDLE_IN_THREE_DAYS” and keep the good one.

If you did not receive a SUCCESSFUL_BUNDLE you will have to file a ticket. Once your ticket is filed we will ask you to send the broken Bundles AND the mother in a folder to the staff member working on your ticket. We will then send you the mother and the good bundle back.

I know it can be frustrating to file tickets, or have issues with your breedable, Amaretto is hard at work to find out what is causing this issue, and know its not just Amaretto a lot of other inworld scripted systems are having trouble as well.

If you need help filing a ticket please contact Avalon Crystal via im or notecard. Happy breeding everyone this is Ava over and out!
