The Wild Mountain Equid Art Role Play Game is a way of encouraging people to build and expand on their equids via art, writing and more!
By completing various media, such as art, writing, sculpting, etc. you earn points that are used to level up your equids. Each level will earn perks for the equid, either single use or permanent. These bonuses are linked to the user who earns them and can be redeemed either against that equid or on another equid.
You can also earn Tokens from entering official WME competitions, from Honourable Mentions or Runner Up prizes from adoptions and other acknowledgements. These Tokens can then be used towards earning a custom equid, the more tokens you earn, the more features you can select.
So what should you do first? Whether a returning user with a lot of art, or a member with a brand spanking new equid, you'll want to complie the art into a tracker. We suggest using image hosting sites like: Toyhou.se, deviantarts sta.sh, or other such sites. We do not suggest using imgur, as not all staff members are able to view the images anymore.
Next youll need a way to show us. Some users keep the imformation on the toyhouse images, which is acceptable. Some members have created a google sheets document, with links to the individual art pieces and pre-calculated point totals. noreptiles_ and cameraugepony have created a great google sheet, which can be found Here.

So you've made a tracker, whats the point? Well, your equid, and you, gain perks at the milestones. These vary from Tokens to use for breedings and customs, to automatic roll chances for twins without using a coupon!
Trait Coupons, Coupons and Tokens are rewarded to the user that owns the equid and are non-transferable. If the equid is sold at level 5, the new owner only claims rewards from level 6 and on. Permanent upgrades follow the equid no matter if they are sold, and count even if the person breeding the equid does not own them
Currently there are only 25 levels, but we are looking at adding more as equids reach these levels!
Each level is 50 Points.
