Earnings

Additional Earnings Info

In general, when you draw or write about your character the WC from that art goes to you and the EXP goes to the character you drew. Of course there are many other situations, covered below.

WC Earnings

The WC from art you create always goes to you. You cannot give WC earnings from your art to anyone else. You cannot receive WC earnings from anyone else's art.

EXP Earnings

The EXP from art tends to go to the characters within the artwork. There are more nuances to this than WC earnings however.

If the art is of a character you own:

• The EXP must go to that character.

If the art is of a pet that one of your characters owns:

• The EXP must go to the character that owns the pet.

If the art is of a character or pet you do not own:

• The EXP can go to one of your characters or the character within the art. 

• You may only give EXP to a character you do not own if you have permission from that character’s owner.

If the art is of an NPC, dead character, a character with the ascended status, or anything not mentioned above:

• The EXP must go to one of your characters.

Note that: In the case of a piece with more than one of your characters is present, the EXP will be divided between the characters as if each figure has been graded individually.

Ex. You own character A & character B. If you create a piece with 4 fullbodies of character A & 1 halfbody of character B, character A will receive 4 fullbodies worth of EXP & character B will receive 1 halfbody worth of EXP. 

Note that: In large pieces such as animatics, EXP will be split evenly between all characters present for ease of grading. 

Note that: With literature grading, EXP will be divided evenly among all characters present within the literature piece. 

Collaboration Earnings

Collaborations are graded like a normal piece and every member of the collab receives the full WC & EXP amounts.

In collabs, all of the EXP must go to the character/pet that you have drawn in the collab, if any.  If no characters/pets you own are depicted within the collab. You may send the EXP to any character you own. 

If multiple characters/pets you own are depicted within the collab, you may ask the grader to distribute the EXP earned from the art of all characters that you do not own to the characters depicted however you like.

• • • For example, you have drawn 2 fullbodies of characters you own for a collab, one of character C and one of character D. There are 4 fullbodies of characters you do not own in the collab. 

    • The EXP from the fullbody of character C goes to character C. 

    • The EXP from the fullbody of character D goes to character D.

    • The EXP from the other 4 fullbodies can be distributed to character C, character D, or partially to each character.

Special Collaboration Rules: Phone Text RPs

Phone text RPs are RPs that occur within the #in-character-texting-1, #in-character-texting-2, and #event-texting RP channels. These channels can only be used by tenants who have bought a cellphone through Willow's shop. These RPs typically use log in/log out messages and characters use usernames rather than their listed database name, this can make grading these RPs difficult to grade as is.

When you submit a Phone Text RP you must submit all of the following information.

• • • A Readable Version of the Log

      • • This includes character usernames and any log messages such as changing usernames, logging in/out/idle, and emojis that are all relevant to the conversation.

    • A Gradable Version of the Log

      • • This version does NOT include discord usernames, character usernames, log messages such as logging in/out/idle, and emojis. This version is strictly conversational text that will be used for word count.

    • Word Count

      • • Please have the total word count from the Gradable Version listed in your post.

    • A list of Characters Present and their Owners

      • • You must include which characters are role playing and tag the owner of the characters. If you are roleplaying with more than 1 character, the total EXP earned from the role play will be divided up evenly between all of your characters present. In the event of overflow, standard rules follow.

Overflow, Ascension, & Death

Characters can only gain 1000 EXP each month. Once a character gains 1000 EXP, any EXP they gain past that point can be given to any of your other characters. This is called overflow. Every month this cap resets. If you want to know how close you are to reaching 1000 EXP for the month, you can ask a mod in your ticket within the discord.

A character that reaches rank X cannot gain EXP past 6660 EXP. Any EXP gained past that point will be lost.

• Characters can have their maximum EXP extended to 10000 EXP through ascension path II , please read the Ascension page for more information.

EXP from art of a dead character or of a character that has ascended through paths I, III & ???, can be given to any character you own.
