Reward Averages

Spending Marks

You can buy a lot of really neat stuff! Check out our How can I spend Marks page for the details!

Pooling Marks/Joint Purchases

Can we pool our member rewards towards a common goal?

Yes, you can! If a group of members decide they want to open a Hold or Hall, they can contribute marks towards it together, and decide among themselves who will take which positions.








Notes

  1. Bonus Locations are announced by the Council
  2. L1 of a location is not eligible for the story award
    • The plot is a significant event at the location that involves multiple writers, characters, and generates multiple posts.
    • As it's affecting the whole location, it must be pre-approved by the L1 or the council
    • If it affects more than one location, the marks are awarded once, but at the higher amount (so 20 marks for a story that occurs at the Weyr and Hold)
    • If it's an ongoing storyline, then each "significant event" will be treated separately.
    The reward goes to the member or members who came up with the idea and organised the storyline.
  • A significant event refers to a notable occurrence or happening that has a lasting impact and often leads to consequential changes in society, politics, or other areas.
