EXP Updates and Reward Redemption
Reply here to either have your experience updated or claim a Milestone Reward!
Experience can be earned in a variety of ways, all of which pertain to IC activity and interactions. Some general guidelines:


Please reference the Guidebook page and supplement.

EXP can only be earned in threads between Original/Player Characters.
- For example, you cannot gain experience for healing a life-threatening wound on an NPC character.

You MUST highlight the applicable portions of your posts!
- For example, if you are redeeming "Heal (5) smaller wounds" then you must highlight parts of your posts that pertain to healing.
- This will greatly speed up the verification process for staff - and, in turn, yourself!
- Personal Development redemptions are exempt from this rule (as many don't include threads!)

Minimum 3+ posts per character per thread to earn EXP.
- Your partner backing out will still earn you EXP, just not as much, just ask staff if that's the case!
- At least two of these posts must be dedicated strictly to the EXP earning topic.
