Advancement

Card Points

During active RP, people gain Card Points over time. These card points are spread at the 'rate' of your character's class. Someone with more Defense points will gain more Defense Card Points than they might other types.

There is also a catch-up mechanic that ensures people remain at least somewhat competitive, even when they are not actively RPing.

Relics

It is viable to earn Relics through Roleplay as Story Rewards. See the Relics tab for more information on Relics.

Single Use Cards

Similar to Relics, you can earn Single Use cards through RP. These are, as their name implies, Single Use. They're often useful for Projects or Combat - but the moment they're committed or played, they disappear from your ownership.

Gaining Concepts

Work in Progress: This information is being provided as a Beta on Concept advancement.

An Applicant earns 1 Non Combat, 1 Combat, and 1 Power Path Point every 3 Months (12 weeks) of Activity on each Adventurer. Activity, in this case, is defined as getting the weekly Active RP bonus for a total of 12 weeks. This information will be denoted on their sheet. We'll refer to these as 'Activity Points' or 'Advancement Points', or in short: AP. Some paths can be started on, if they have a plot progression component, before getting the required AP. Inquiries go into the 'Progression' Job Category.

Note: No two progression paths may be run concurrently. The effort of a 'strange mood' or 'training' requires the character's full focus. The only exception to this is Power Path which can be run along side other progressions.
