[!] .: CURRENCY SYSTEM :. [!]

The Currency System is based on the same concept as that of the Naruto Universe. The Currency is called Ryō, and is a points system of sorts that has a few different uses throughout the group, and can be earnt a number of different ways. There are rules that come with this system, so please make sure to read everything. Every individual character starts off with a certain amount of Ryō; further will be explained below.

This Currency System is for Group Use ONLY.


This is due to the fact that the earning of Ryō is supposed to encourage original art work; anything that isn't drawn, written or animated by your own hand will not receive reward.

Character Specific Only, meaning each individual character earns his or her own Ryō; the creator themselves does not earn Ryō.

Please don't try to increase your own amount of Ryō, as there will be a carefully monitored list of members, and how much they have earnt.

All items up for sale must be submitted to the groups 'SHOP' gallery folder, where they will be sorted into their respected sub-folders.

Purchases must be made note of on the Gallery Folder's comment section, in order to make it easier for the Moderators to keep track of; otherwise we have to go searching through all the comments to figure out who has spent what, and who needs what points. It's all very confusing.

*Each CHARACTER starts with 300 Ryō in their earnings. How you do or don't spend these earnings is up to you.

All these rules are in order to keep life fair, so please don't complain.

Each and every submission will earn Ryō; the amount of Ryō must be at the top of the artists comment of each submission to the gallery, unless it is a SHOP submission.
Which character the earnt Ryō will go to is determined by the subject matter of the submission;
the character/s involved in the submission will receive/split the earnings between them.
Fanart earnings will go to the Artist's elected character [whose name will need to be put at the top of the artist's comment with the Ryō allocation]

Example: An art submission with one character, being your own; that character will receive all Ryō.
Example: An art submission with two characters, being your own; those character will split the earnt Ryō. In the case of 1 Ryō submissions, the earnings will go to the elected character.
Example: A literature submission with your character and another person's character; the earnt Ryō will go to your character.
Example: A literature submission with two of your characters; the Ryō will be split between the two characters, or in the case of 1 Ryō the earnings will go to the elected character.

You can earn Ryō in many different ways; submissions, either visual art or literature,  completing events, missions, tasks or prompts. Each option gains a different amount of points.

SUBMISSIONS

Sketches/ Scribbles/ Doodles/ WIPs [Literate or Visual]: 1 Ryō

Clean Sketch/ Lineart/ Completed Literature [150 w/or more]: 2 Ryō

Lineart/ Sketches and Base Colours/ Completed Memes/ Completed Literature [400 w/or more]: 3 Ryō

Basic Shading/ Background/ Both/ Completed Literature [650 w/or more]: 4 Ryō

Complex Shading/ Background/ Both/ Animation/ Completed Literature [800 w/or more]: 5 Ryō

MISSIONS, TASKS, EVENTS AND PROMPTS

These will all have individual rewards and earnings set when they're put out for completion. These will range from 20 Ryō to 500 Ryō depending on the involvement and minimal requirements in order for the mission, task, event or prompt to be deemed complete.

Earnt Ryō can be spent on a number of different things tools/ weapons, clothing, items, levelling (training), art (from members of the group) and to some extent points (a large amount of Ryō can be exchanged for a small number of points; this will be explained further below.)

This is where everyone comes in! As a community, Yumegakure relies on the too and fro of Ryō, and as a community, everyone is able to sell their own ideas, and buy other's ideas! Now don't be mislead, these can't be just any ideas, and this isn't the buying and selling that is used throughout the rest of the deviantART community; this is using Ryō, and these tenders must be kept within the group. Designs can be sold as many times as the creator wishes, so don't expect anything to be a one-off, only-for-you item, but it is recommended that a record of who has bought what is kept, in order to avoid art theft.

ART: [Example; Commissions.]

As this is much like commissions, artists are to set their own prices; there will be a list of members taking requests and commissions for the group available in the future. YOU MAY ONLY ASK PEOPLE ON THAT LIST FOR COMMISSIONS AND/OR REQUESTS, SO PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER OTHERS. Requests and Commissions made within the group that are speciic to the community, meaning they are between two members of Yumegakure and are using the Currency System set within this community, must only involve characters of Yumegakure. Of course outside commissions aren't hindered by this rule, that would just be silly.

POINTS

Points will be dealt with ONLY BY Me11owPanda. If you wish to use your earnings to purchase deviantART points, please contact Me11owPanda through Notes, with the heading 'Yumegakure Point Exchange'.

EXCHANGE RATES:

1 Ryō : 0.02 Points
53 Ryō : 1 Point
100 Ryō : 2 Points
150 Ryō : 3 Points
200 Ryō : 5 Points
250 Ryō : 6 Points
300 Ryō : 7 Points
400 Ryō : 10 Points
600 Ryō : 15 Points
800 Ryō : 20 Points

I am not made of Points, which is why the exchange rate is so low. I just feel that this would be a fun way of collecting points. Points will also be available as rewards for winners of certain competitions, and some kiribans.


TOOLS/ WEAPONS

These of course refer to original designs of tools and weapons that fit into the Nartuo Universe. [More information] These can be sold as many times as the owner wishes, but prices must fit within the limits of item type.
