When you’re donating to the Adoption Center, there’s two types of rewards to choose from; Aurics, the common currency, or Shinies, a special currency only available through donations and that can be used in the Shiny Shop for extra special items.
For a single donation, you must choose one or the other. You cannot split one geno or import’s rewards between both Shinies and Aurics. However, if you are donating multiple in one claim, you may use different currencies for different genos and imports.
If you are donating an especially nice geno and want it to only be availble to new players, you can request that it be placed in the "Newbies Only" category of the Adoption Center.
The following guide details how the donation rewards are calculated for each currency.
Note: This also doubles as a guide for how to price Released genos. If you are releasing a character, use the Auric Reward payout section, and then divide the total in half to find the value of the Released geno.
If you’re unsure what the rarity of one of your geno’s traits is, you can look it up quickly and easily with this search: Traits
You can find the form to donate genos and imports here: Donation Form
