Five Backgrounds/Foregrounds for Your AC Customizations


by andrewo94

--------

We are right in the middle of the excitement and drama that is the Altador Cup! Teams have been slinging slushies and scoring goals like crazy trying to rank up and win the coveted Cup. With all of this intense concentration and focus on being the absolute best, a few things may fall through the cracks, such as customization. A good Altador Cup customization is an absolute must during the duration of the competition as it is an outward manifestation of the spirit of the Cup. I will admit that planning and executing a well-put-together customization is a fairly time-consuming task. With all of the other events going on during the Cup, it is understandable that customization takes a backseat ranking up and being the best! Therefore, I have decided to write a guide that provides five different starting points to plan your perfect Altador Cup customizations.

Each of these five starting points consists of a background and a foreground item related to the Altador Cup that, in my opinion, go very well together and will start your creative juices to make your very own fantastic customization. By using these starting points, you can more easily envision your perfect Altador Cup customization and make your own unique additions to whichever set you decide to start with! These five foreground and background sets will look great on all types of pets, converted and unconverted alike! These five sets are strictly items that can be bought with Neopoints but there are also plenty of Neocash items that are perfect for an Altador Cup customization as well! So, with all of that introduction out of the way, it is time to jump into our first set of items!

Combination 1: Crisis Courier Craze Background and Altador Cup Teams Garland

Our first combination pairs a crazy background featuring yooyus with an equally extravagant Altador Cup garland. The Crisis Courier Craze Background features all different types of yooyus flying through the air as your pet walks through the streets of Altador, perfectly capturing the crazy and unpredictable nature of the Altador Cup. The accompanying foreground proudly displays all of the logos of each land competing in the Cup. When put together, these two wearables are the perfect starting point for an excited fan-type customization and will look great on any pet that is just delighted to be surrounded by the Altador Cup atmosphere.

Combination 2: Lunch at the Ambrosia Shop Background and Yooyuball Topiary

The second of our five combinations slows things down a little bit by showcasing the Lunch at the Ambrosia Shop Background. This background represents a relaxing break from all the hustle and bustle of the Altador Colosseum at one of Altador’s most exclusive restaurants. When this background is paired with the exquisite Yooyuball Topiary foreground item, the combination exudes an air of sophistication and class. While these wearables may not embody the crazy spirit that typically accompanies the Altador Cup, they demonstrate a different and perhaps not so common Altador Cup experience. This pair of items is a great starting point for a pet who may enjoy the calmer portions of the Altador Cup, such as the fine dining aspect or spectating from the VIP seats.

Combination 3: Altador Cup Yooyuball Net Background and Special Event Foreground

With our third background/foreground combination, we really start getting into the heart of the Altador Cup. The Altador Cup Yooyuball Net Background places your pet right into the center of the action, between a yooyu and the net. This background will help any pet who aspires a star to be on a famous Yooyuball team finally realize their dream. In order to enhance the atmosphere created by the background, the Special Event Foreground can be used to add cheering fans into the equation. By placing these two items together, the true Altador Cup atmosphere inside the Colosseum comes alive. These items are perfect for any pet who wants to be in the center of all the action and truly embodies the competitive spirit of the Altador Cup!

Combination 4: Inside TNTs Breakroom Refrigerator Background and Altador Cup Watch Party Snacks

Our fourth combination caters to those who are not able to travel to Altador to witness the competition in person. Even if your pet cannot watch the matches from the stands, a good watch party is always a great option to get people together in the spirit of the Cup. With every good watch party, comes a magnificent array of snacks and what better place to look for snacks than in TNTs Breakroom Refrigerator. You will also need a place to put all those snacks what better place than on a decorated snack table. This starting point is perfect for those pets who simply want to enjoy the Altador Cup from the comforts of home and will maximize any Altador Cup viewing experience.

Combination 5: Altador Cup Celebration Background and Discarded Yooyuball Gear Foreground

The final wearable pairing focuses on the end of the cup where the winners are announced and celebrated. The Altador Cup Celebration Background honors those who triumphed throughout the duration of the competition with a shower of confetti inside the Colosseum. In celebration of all the hard work and dedication displayed during the Cup, pets using this background can showcase all of their achievements and trophies gained during this edition of the Cup. Players will also typically discard any old and rundown Yooyuball gear in preparation for the next edition of the Cup, as shown in the Discarded Yooyuball Gear Foreground. This pair of items shows two different sides of the Cup, the excitement of victory with the background and the difficult path to get there shown in the foreground. These two items in combination are ideal for any pet looking for honor and glory and is a great way to celebrate the ending of another successful Altador Cup!

Customization is a great, if sometimes overlooked, way to show your Altador Cup spirit! It’s still not too late to get your pets ready for the competition and hopefully the starting points highlighted in this guide will help you plan a unique and fun customization. You may even want to get a head start on your customizations for next year (it’s never too early)! Either way, this guide is intended to showcase many different aspects of the Altador Cup so that they can be adapted to any pet’s personality or style. Now, go get that perfect customization and get back to supporting your team in the Altador Cup!
