Every Draco Stryx, and their rider, must hunt and fish in order to provide for themselves and their people. And for you, every Hunting/Fishing image grants you +2AP.

You can use meat/fish in Crafting, or you can turn it in for Bauble rewards in the Treasury!

Other Stryx or other playable ARPG creatures may not be depicted as prey.
Maximum 5 entries per day.

INBRED STRYX
If your Stryx is blind they must receive Blindness Training before they can hunt or fish!
If your Stryx has Crippled Wings, they can NOT be depicted flying! They may only hunt on land.
If your Stryx has Brittle Bone Syndrome, they can not hunt or fish at all.

Are AP Sheets Allowed?
:new: as of 9/5/22 activites are not allowed in sheets anymore due to how long it takes us to count them. 

What if I have old activity sheets? 
These will still be honored but they will have to be in a offsite tracker or submitted through the offsite art queue if they are older than 8/28/2020
Sheet-style hunting/fishing will ONLY be allowed if they look like this...
Ap Pageee by Tinadactyl
Panels must be clearly separated.

If your sheet looks like this, it will not be counted.


Success Rates


The higher your Stryx's status, the better their chances are of hunting successfully!

Omega:
25% success rate
Common & Good Meat/Fish

Alpha:
50% success rate
Common, Good & Excellent Meat/Fish

Legendary:
75% success rate
Common, Good, Excellent & Prime Meat/Fish

Ascended:
100% success rate
Common, Good, Excellent & Prime Meat/Fish

Basic Training provides a +10 bonus to success rates, and a +10 chance to find Prime Meat/Fish for Ascended Stryx!


Partnership Boost

Sending out a non-ascended Stryx to hunt or fish often ends in them coming home unsuccessful. To prevent your non-ascended Stryx from failing a hunt, though, you may pair them in entries with a more experienced partner to ensure they don’t return with empty talons.

Drawing your Stryx alongside another player’s Stryx of higher rank in activity entries will give them a Partnership Boost and allow your Stryx’s entries to be rolled at the Partner Stryx’s rank. If your Stryx is Omega and pictured alongside an Alpha Partner, your Stryx can be rolled at the Alpha success rate. The same is true of Legendary and Ascended.

The Partner Stryx in the image doesn’t have to be a flock member in order to receive the Partnership Boost, but it must be owned by another player (no starters), and should be rollable in the entry. You’ll need to link the import of the Partner Stryx pictured in your entry comment to receive the boost under the line in the form for “Partnership Boost”. Leased Stryx owned by another player and being rolled by you will still count for the Partnership Boost.

Corruption

  • Stryx with Contagious Corruption roll activities at a higher tier, for example Alpha rolls as Legendary, ect
    • Ascended stryx can choose between two roll results
    • Corrupted stryx also serve as higher-level companions
  • There is a 10% chance for a Corrupted stryx to take 10 hitpoints of damage from any activity
  • Contagion has a chance to spread to a non-corrupted stryx while performing any activity with a Corrupted stryx; however, leasing permission must be given from the Corrupted stryx's owner in order for it to be rolled. This can be avoided by equipping a stryx with an Immunity Cuff. Corrupted stryx equipped with an Immunity Cuff cannot pass on Corruption

Can we combine literature and digital art together? Do we get any additional perks for doing so? For example, could I draw my stryx hunting and then write a 600 word short story in the description?
