In Game Currency

Colorful, glistening gemstones are the currency of the land in Elysium! You can receive gemstones from random drops and events, but the most reliable way is when you draw or write about your horses!

Gemstones are awarded every time you submit an illustration or story to the group. Depending on the time spent on the piece, determines the range of gemstones you will be RNG'd for. These amounts are based on a PER HORSE basis! So if you draw or write about multiple horses, then the amounts will be times the number of horses.

Example: You draw three full body unicorns playing in a river.
We roll 10-20 and get 18. We multiple 18 by 3 which gives us 54.
These unicorns are all colored with shading which adds another 10 plus another 10 for the background.
You earn 74 gems!
