You got him for less than I did! I'm jealous! LOL

awe.. sorry... I had a bunch of tokens.

Tokens...hmmmm...you have to be very spendy to accumulate those, at least enough of them to make a big difference.  I'm not very spendy lately.  And by lately, I mean the past few years.

Yeah... I've been a VERY bad girl... but like I've said before... Daz is my only vice.  I render almost every day so I feel I'm worth it!

I was finally able to build up a few tokens, but they seem to go toward your next purchase only, even if what you are getting is freebies and nothing else. My first 2 tokens disappeared when I grabbed the weekly freebies a few weeks ago. I was finally able to use the tokens I had when I purchased TyRex, and several other items that were on sale for 80% off. Got enough to build up 1 more token in that sale, and wound up with about 7 items in that purchase, including the Mil Dragonling 2. That product is supposed to be able to use the Mil Dragon 2 Textures and Poses, plus wear the armor made for Mil Dragon 2. The Mil Dragon 2 pose I used for Mil Dragonling 2 did not work so well. It caused stretching in the wings, so that's another product I'll be making poses for, to get around that problem.
I plan to make packages of poses for Mil Dragonling 2, and the Venomwhip. The poses that are included with the Venomwhip cause stretching in the legs. When I create a pose, I move each part of the figure manually, using the parameter slide dials, until I get every part of the figure adjusted the way I want it. Then I save the pose as a Pose Preset. I give each pose I make a name that tells what type of pose it is. This will make finding the pose a user wants much easier. It's far better that just calling poses "Venomwhip_Pose-01,Venomwhip_Pose-02", etc. I have several poses yet to make for the Venomwhip, and that pack will be offered at the FA October Giveaway. I hope to have at least 10 poses for that pack. I will be making more to sell at FRM for reasonable prices. I'll do the same for the Mil Dragonling 2, since the Mil Dragon 2 Poses don't work well for Mil Dragonling 2. Someone's gotta do it. Might as well be me. And I should be able to make a little cash off of the Pose Packs I put up for sale, at the Fantasies Realm Market.

Great idea Agent.. you might as well be compensated for your work.

[Llola Lane]

I agree with Kathryn Agent... Poses should sell good.  I didn't even know there were poses for the dragons.  Glad you were also able to grab a token or two... Just don't use them for freebies... lol  I almost did before I realized you can't discount something that is FREE... $0.00!!!  duhhhh..lol

[Agent0013]

My problem is that I have limited funds, and can usually only spend around $5.00 for a purchase. I could not get any tokens that way. So I worked to get up enough to buy more than $20.00 worth. The next thing was the weekly freebies, and though I had 2 tokens, I had no funds for paid purchases. The freebie acquisition took the tokens, even though they were freebies only. DAZ does not make freebies exempt from automatic use of the tokens. They get used whether or not they provide a discount. I think DAZ should fix that, because that makes the tokens less useful. I also think you should have a choice as to whether or not you wish to use your tokens. If you are wanting to save your tokens up for a really big purchase, you should be allowed to do so. You should also be allowed to decide how many of your tokens you want to use during a purchase. That would make the token system far more effective for the customer. If it remains the way it is right now, it will not be very effective at all. People will use it more if it is more user friendly, rather than being automatic like it is now.

This token thing is a know issue.  You have to remove the tokens from the order, otherwise, they vanish.  They have really bad programmers over there.  If the price is $0.00, it shouldn't try to take any kind of payment at all, and tokens are a kind of payment.

Yes... I figured that out in the beginning... you have to MINUS (-) each one individually til the token shows 0 on the order form.

Look for the (+)(-) on your order form Agent... you can add or subtract how ever many tokens you want before you pay for your order... Just be aware that they have an expiration date... I think about 4 days.  I've noticed if I only want to use 1 token the system does pick the one that is going to expire first.
