UNDERSTANDING ACTIVITIES
Activities consist of Hunting, Fishing, Traversing, Quests, Adventures, and the Imperial exclusive Scouting. Your Shi'vali may participate in these activities to bring back a wide variety of loot you may redeem for in-game currency (Jining) or store for future use at the Imperial Vault. During your adventures, you may also find crafting ingredients which will allow you to craft exclusive items that can be used to boost your success rates or add bonuses to your Shi'vali!
You do NOT need to complete your CoU's to participate in H/F/T, Quests, or Adventure!
CREATING A TRACKER:
If you would like your activity entry to be rolled, the first thing you will need is a tracker.
- A tracker is a journal (rather published or stash) in which your Shi'vali's progress from Empire Points, items received from Activities, to breeding slots is recorded. Not only is this a way for you to keep track of your Shi'vali's growing status but it is a vital component for admins to be able to comment with your activity results!
You may create specific comments in your tracker for admins to reply to. For examples, you may include and link a comment that states "HUNTING RESULTS HERE" and an admin will be sure to comment in the appropriate area to keep your tracker organized!
You must submit your activity entries to the appropriate correlating folder (hunting to the hunting folder, fishing in the fishing folder, etc).
When submitting your deviation, it is your responsibility to ensure the correct information is provided and visible within the deviation. Deviations lacking these details or providing incorrect information will be commented on by an admin for corrections and would need to be resubmitted to the group folder.
Failure to create and link comments will allow an admin to comment openly on a journal in no order as they see fit. Why link a comment? Eventually your tracker comments will grow long! Scrolling through these endless amounts of comments can grow tedious and delay the rolling process!

HOW DO LEVELS WORK?

In order to be eligible to advance to the more dangerous areas these levels explore, you must complete certain requirements.
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT LEVELS AND THEIR REQUIREMENTS, PLEASE VIEW THE H/F/T LEVELS GUIDE

Shi'vali who are blind or suffer from spinal deformities have a success rate 10% lower than regular Shi'vali. If you are depicting an NPC, you MUST identify this NPC in your forms (when including them as a bonus). NPC MUST be depicted accurately in an image and/or mentioned throughout the story in order for their bonus to apply.Up to 4 Shi'vali can be depicted in one Image/Piece!

Fishing: Prey depicted MUST represent a fish from the Bazaar. We will no longer be accepting grey fish marked as "sockeye salmon" or "bass." You MUST put in the effort of coloring the fish appropriately. This is to keep things FAIR amongst our artists. As you can see from the examples below, we are keeping everyone's levels in mind and only ask that you make the fish recognizable as one from the Bazaar.DONT
