Evoloon Features & Modifiers

The core ability of Evoloons is their ability to become anything you can imagine, but there are some extra pieces you should know about. The following document overviews every key feature that affects an Evoloon, including Upgrades, Superpowers, Statuses, and Race Advantages.

Evoloons gain new physical attributes with upgrades. These upgrades can range from making your Evoloon fluffy to creating your own personal nightmare.

Upgrades are divided by their individual categories, aka magic disciplines, which are Basic, Terrestrial, Avian, Aquatic, Celestial, Cyber and Monster. Depending on the method used to get an upgrade, the discipline may or may not need to be unlocked before the desired upgrade can be earned. The Basic and Terrestrial disciplines don't have to be unlocked.

There are many alternate ways to unlock a discipline:

• Do the art requirement described on the Upgrade List;
• Do the Trial of Categories;
• Use a Tome of Discipline. This item can be obtained from events and activities or from a Travis for Hire Ticket.
• The Evobooster 5000 Randomizing Crank also has a small chance to unlock the cyber category. This item can be obtained from events and activities or from a P.E.B.K.A.C. For Hire Ticket.
• Owning an Ancient Evoloons unlocks the Discipline related to the Ancient for all your Evoloons.

You can find more information about each category in Magic Disciplines.

Quests

Quests are drawing or writing tasks that allow you to get upgrades at your own pace. Quests can be turned into a comic to earn more quest points. The amount of comic panels or words for literature determine the amount of quest points you can earn.

Upgrades have different ranks, meaning they will need a different amount of quest points to be obtained according to the rank. Quests points are consumed when used to get an upgrade. In order to get an upgrade from quest points, you need to unlock the corresponding magic discipline first (if it needs to be unlocked).

You can find more information on the Quest Board and the Upgrade List.

Time

Some upgrades automatically unlock over time, if you have unlocked the magic discipline first (if it needs to be unlocked). When an upgrade can be obtained over time, it is mentioned as alternate way to unlock on the Upgrade List. The time starts on the date your Evoloon's approval art is submitted to your gallery (also referred as birthday or hatch day).

Love Magic

Love magic is earned through drawing pictures of your Evoloon. Every colored picture you draw of your Evoloon counts towards earning Love Magic. In order to get an upgrade from love magic, you need to unlock the corresponding magic discipline first (if it needs to be unlocked). When an upgrade can be obtained with love magic, it is mentioned as alternate way to unlock on the Upgrade List.

Companions grant extra love magic if drawn according to the rules.

You can find more information about love magic in the Magic Count System and Magic Count Examples.

Gift Magic

Gift magic is similar to Love Magic, except it is earned by drawing other people's Evoloons. All the info mentioned above for love magic applies to gift magic. Gift magic can be kept in a general pool until it is used for upgrades. Once gift magic is used, it belongs to the Evoloon who got the upgrade and cannot be used for any other of your Evoloons.

Participation

Participation is earned when an Evoloon is entering specific events (and follows all the event rules). In order to get an upgrade from participation, you need to unlock the corresponding magic discipline first (if it needs to be unlocked). When an upgrade can be obtained with participation, it is mentioned as alternate way to unlock on the Upgrade List.

You can find the amount of participation each event grants in Events and Participation.

Events

Evoloons might get upgrades from events, trials or other activities. The upgrade category doesn't have to be unlocked to apply an upgrade obtained from an event.

You can find the list of our current events and activities on the Activity Board.

Upgrade Stones and Upgrade Gems

Upgrade stones can be applied on wholehearted Evoloons while upgrade gems can be applied to heart-broken Evoloons (see the "statuses" section). The magic discipline doesn't have to be unlocked to apply an upgrade obtained from a stone or a gem.

Upgrade stones can be obtained from events and activities or from the Novaleen for Hire Ticket. Upgrade gems can be obtained from events and activities or from the Mullo for Hire Ticket. Upgrade gems are the only way an heart-broken Evoloon can apply upgrades without going through the Healing Hearts Trial or have their heart healed with a Heart-Healing Gem.

Mod Commissions

Any upgrade can be purchased from a moderator. Each mod handles their commissions on their own so there is no set price.

Superpowers can be obtained from a potion. Power Potions can be bought at Merlot's Shop (via the The Town Square) or can be gained from events and activities. Superpowers can also be bought from a mod commission.

Safari Evoloon

• Automatically has all upgrade categories unlocked

Cursed Evoloons don't have bonuses and advantages, they have curses. They are all born with 1 mandatory curse and other curses the player can add.

Curse of Isolation

Cursed Evoloons do not benefit from any of your other Evoloon's bonuses and advantages (such as the Blessed Evoloon's bonuses, the Ancients' bonuses, the Genoloons' upgrades, ect.). This curse is mandatory for every Cursed Evoloon.

Curse of Bad Karma

The Evoloon can only earn half the amount of free upgrades in events. If the amount of upgrades is uneven you round down, and if the event only gives one free upgrade, they receive none. Novaleen still finds it hard to bless the Evoloon with new upgrades, and it's more difficult for the Evoloon to master new upgrades while going on a big adventure.

Curse of Bad Luck

The Evoloon is not able to use Upgrade Stones/Gems. Those are not strong enough to get through the curse.

Curse of Failure

Category unlocks must be done twice. If you are using the Trial of Categories for unlocking, the trial must be twice as long. Magic disciplines are harder to learn for the cursed Evoloon.

Curse of Hardship

The Evoloon only earns half as much Love Magic as normal.

Curse of Loneliness

The Evoloon gets no benefit from heart-bonding (affect only the Cursed Evoloon; their partner, if not cursed, will still benefit for it as usual).

Curse of Magic-less Friendship

The Evoloon can have pets, but they get no benefit from their companions.

Curse of Normality

The Evoloon needs to use two Power Potions to earn a superpower from them. The Evoloon needs more potion to go through the curse.

Curse of Poverty

The Evoloon cannot earn upgrades from Mod YCHs. The upgrade wizards are unable to apply upgrades on the Evoloon.

Curse of Sadness

The Evoloon is so sad to be cursed, they start off heartbroken.

Curse of Struggling

The Evoloon cannot earn/use Quest Points, because they can't learn upgrades from just interacting with their environment. Exception: If an upgrade can be earned with quests only (formerly requiring an action), the Evoloon can get it with quests, but has to do twice the work to get the upgrade. Example: The Evoloon will need 2 quest points to get a rank 1 upgrade that can be earned by doing quests only.

Curse of Restriction

The Evoloon is strongly attuned to one discipline/category, so it's harder to unlock and get upgrades from other categories. The second category costs 2 times the work to unlock and get upgrades, the third category costs 3 times the work and so on. This doesn't include the Basic Discipline since this one is natural to Evoloon, meaning your Evoloon can earn basic upgrades without being affected by this curse. You have to choose the "order" of the category your Evoloon will use/learn. If you are using the Trial of Categories for unlocking, the trial's length is also multiplied depending on the order of choosing your categories.

Curse of Slow Learning

It takes twice as much work for the Evoloon to gain/learn upgrades (magic, participation, quests, etc.)

Curse of Weakness

The amount of work needed to get an upgrade is multiplied by the rank of the upgrade (rank 1 = normal effort, rank 2 = 2 times the work, rank 3 = 3 times the work, etc.) as higher ranked upgrades that are harder to master.
