Hey y'all! :'3 I'm hoping that most of the TinierMe users found their way to this guild, especially because the guild system can be confuzzling. T^T If you wouldn't mind, it would be great if you could direct TinierMe peeps who haven't already visited over here so we can get started on another great community!

gaia_angelleft Gaia Gold gaia_angelright
Gaia Gold is the common currency in Gaia, used to buy items sold by Gold Shops and on the Marketplace

The currency system on Gaia is far less restrictive than the TinierMe one -- basically anything that can be bought with Gaia Cash (the one you pay $$ for) can be found on the Marketplace for gold. This may seem like a good way to make gold fast if you're a $$ user, but many items deflate quickly after their release, so check the marketplace before you buy! yum_puddi

Making gold without spending $$ is as easy as browsing the site! However, posting and playing games don't garner as much gold as other tactics, like these:

I have a bit of gold on hand, and i would be super happy to try to help out migrating TinierMe peeps! Just post here with a dream avatar (see second post) and I'll see what i can do to help! User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. I don't have over 10 million on hand, so I can't get those uber-expensive items unfortunately! ;^;

gaia_star badtzmaru posted this wonderful guide for free items by the way! *^*

gaia_gaiagold Playing games! (not the Facebook-linked ones like Resort World, Monster Galaxy, Soul Crash, Heralds of Chaos) Most Gaia games (casino games, Word Bump, Jigsaw, etc) will not give you gold directly, but tickets/credits/etc that you can exchange for items in the corresponding shops. You can sell these on the Marketplace for gold, but they're usually not worth it unless you obtain thousands of those tickets/credits. =w=;

The biggest gold-netting game on Gaia is ZOMG - their MMORPG-style game! It's pretty fun and addicting, and you get gold just by having fun, experiencing the story, and teaming up with other players!
Here are some great guides for zOMG, although the game has changed throughout its lifetime. emotion_bigheart
Newbie Guide to zOMG
Bria Guide (Outdated a bit)
And, and...!! You can play to the end-boss of the game and battle through an underwater secret lab and get cool items! @^@

gaia_gaiagold Playing Booty Grab in other users' tanks to earn several hundred gold at least (tanks will glow when you can play). You just move your avatar around with the arrow keys and catch gold coins in your shell while going for green powerups and avoiding red ones!

gaia_gaiagold Vending in the Exchange or Marketplace, although this isn't suggested unless you actually know how - the trade secret is supposedly given to those in vending guilds. @.o (I've never done this eek )

gaia_gaiagold Earning gold by starting an art shop! This method often takes quite a bit of work to set up a pretty shop front and attract buyers, but if you like you can try your luck in big-winning art contests or even writing shops and writing contests! Thanks to the dashing Il Corvo di Verona for finding the links for me! User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

gaia_gaiagold After collecting bugs/flowers/trash in Towns or playing zOMG, you can:
Exchange your trash for wearables
Exchange your bugs for inks
Exchange your flowers for wearable bouquets
Exchange your zOMG drops for wearables if you have the recipe

You can sell anything on the marketplace as well, but you can use your inks for making tattoos (which you can buy on the marketplace).

Also, during holiday/special events, there's a chance to collect a Wing Sticker every day, so you can exchange those at the Tree House for nifty items! If you want a hand at making your own items, try Cross Stitch, which periodically holds contests for Gaians to make their own items! All items in that shop are user-made!

gaia_angelleft Le Dressups gaia_angelright
The sheer variety of items on Gaia is far more than on TinierMe, and most items don't have a set theme like gacha.
Finding suitable and budget-friendly items for your cute lolita outfit or punky urban outfit can be frustrating! emotion_donotwant Do not fear! @@ There are lots of ways to make beautiful avatars without breaking yo' wallet!

gaia_crown DREAM AVATARS To help you start off, here is the main site that Gaians all use for making Dream Avatars, Tektek!
Not only is there a great search function embedded into the dream avatar maker, but there are also
codes provided to paste into your signature/posts, and estimates of the price of the avatar according to the marketplace! It's a user-based site that is lovingly maintained ASAP after every big update.

((You can also find an item database, profile codes to pretty your page,
and a safe Firefox extension for auto-formatting your posts' font style and notifications, etc!
A similar Chrome extension can be found here~))

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
gaia_crown You might find that the items that you fancy are quite pricey at the moment, but never fear! There are loads of awesome items in the Gaian Marketplace that are cheap not because of their quality, but because of their overall rarity.
Here's a greatly popular thread where people are posting some inexpensive but awesome items!
"How can that item be that inexpensive!?"

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
gaia_crown How do items become rare?

The more common items on Gaia are the gold/regular Gaia Cash Shop items. The rare items usually come from Random Item Generators (RIGs) that are released each month.
Similar to the TinierMe gacha system in that they are random, they are more like little dialogues you click through to receive an item of varying rarity (may be pulled from the new monthly pot of items, or from previous RIGs). You can make money off of any item you receive though, so that facet is unlike the TinierMe gachas, where you can only trade off or gift/hoard unwanted items.

For instance, the Cryptic Path that was released this November contains new animal-themed items (found here), and is a simple system where you receive a result right away. Other types include "dating game" types released in February (you have to answer the questions right for the character to get a good item - people post guides though!), story-progression type (usually released in December and various other months), etc.

Usually there is one big victory result that is hard to get, and several mid-range and low-range luck results that net items that sell for 15k-100k.
The best time to open a RIG bundle (contains 9) is on the day of release since prices are fluctuating, but to ensure you get at least 900k from the bundle you can just sell the bundle itself instead of testing your luck. You never know if you could find an item worth millions inside, but it's quite rare to!

Uargh! User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. I sound like i'm advertising RIGs, but you really don't have to spend $$ to get gold on Gaia! They're just my main method of earning money since I'm lazy... and y'all already know how much I wasted on TinierMe! xD So I know quite a bit about them... q-q They're not recommended though - save your money from being spent on pixels!!

More to be posted later! emotion_bigheart

gaia_angelleft BBCode for Posting gaia_angelright
Gaia uses a BBCode system in the forums where you can make your posts as personalized and unique as you like!

If you haven't worked with BBCode formatting before for fonts/posting images/links, you can use this guide! Of course using the provided formatting bar works too! yum_puddi

gaia_angelleft Alchemy? gaia_angelright
DOUGHNUT try this if you don't have over like 25 million gold!! ; A ; It's nothing like the TinierMe Alchemy!
It is just a system where you take bunches of already rare and pricey items and obliterate them to get alchemy "exp' and make a new item. emotion_sweatdrop It's really not worth the pain and suffering it will cause you, and many users have already capped at level 10 (bless them) and are offering their Alchemy services in the forum.

Hopefully this thread is open to posting, otherwise i'll just delete my comment. But yeah, this guide should be very much helpful for people fresh to Gaia. Personally I make my gold on the market since at least 2006 but I don't sell the misprices half the time rofl

Agree with the alchemy thing. Absolutely DO NOT try it. It's money consuming D:
Otherwise, great guide, i am pretty sure that will help a lot of people smile
