CUSTOM GUIDE
Buying a custom starter is a great way to introduce some new stock into your stable. Custom starters are rolled with the same stat layout as your first horse, but have a wider range of color, marking, and modifier options. In order to obtain one, you'll need tokens. They can be mixed and matched in order to build the perfect horse, allowing you to combine genes and rarity tiers. There are three token types:

Within the first two token types, you can get Common, Uncommon, or Rare tiers. Mixing and matching is quite simple! You'll need one token of the appropriate rarity for the coat color, and a token for each additional gene you wish to add (for markings/modifiers). For a full breakdown of all rarity tiers, visit the Colors & Patterns page.
Additional guidelines:
Tokens can be purchased in #the-plaza with "!buy-item <item name>," or you can wish for them at the Wishing Well. Prices are listed below!
To redeem a token(s), please post the following form in the #etc channel:
EXAMPLE:
- Coat Color: Cremello (Rare Custom Token)
- Markings/Modifiers: Splash (Uncommon Custom Token), Random (Uncommon Mystery Token)
Additional guidelines:
- If you are using a token(s) for markings/modifiers and not applying any tokens for the base, you may freely choose any Common base coat.
- Genes are heterozygous where possible, but can be made homozygous with an additional token. The only exception is double cream coats (perlino, cremello, and smoky cream), which can be created with a single Rare Custom Token.
- Mystery Tokens will not grant any homozygous genes, with the exception of Rare double cream coats.
- You may add up to five genes total, excluding E and A, and homozygous genes (excluding ff) are counted as 2. For example, Ee Aa nCr StySty would be 3 (Cr, Sty, Sty), while ee Aa CrCr ff nO would be 4 (Cr, Cr, ff, O). If you need help determining this limit for your own custom, please ask!
- You may only apply a maximum of two anomalies to a horse.
