So you have posted roleplays or completed a quest/personal saga and you want to obtain roleplay bonuses. To do this, you first must
report your roleplays to Pikkon via forum
private message.
In this PM, you will want to include a link to the thread, who all posted in the thread, and the date it was completed.
If you are reporting a personal roleplay you will want to report it to Pikkon each day. An example of one such PM will look like this:
On 2/8/08, I completed 4 personal roleplays. 3 were in this thread *link* and 1 was in this thread *link*.
If you are reporting a quest or personal saga, you will only
want to report it once the quest/saga is
completed. This PM should also include each character in the saga and a count of their total posts within it. Before you report a quest make sure that
the first post of the quest includes the quest information and rewards. There should only be one PM for everybody in it so be sure that everybody in the saga knows who will be sending the PM to report it. If you report your roleplays multiple times, you will forfeit any bonuses. Therefore, it is extremely
important you coordinate with everybody else in the thread on who is making the report.
After you have reported your roleplays to Pikkon, he will typically post awarded bonuses on the Roleplay Bonuses forum each Friday or Saturday. It is then the member's responsibility to claim these bonuses by posting them in your weekly update (you can just edit it in if already posted).
The description of each post will tell you when you will need to claim the bonuses by to count. Once a post is locked, you can no longer claim the bonuses you were awarded and will lose them.
Below is general roleplay information stated from the How To Play page:
[Personal Roleplays]
This is the most common form of roleplay on the rpg. All you must do is create a new topic, or reply to an old one; and type a story about your character. Although it doesn't matter if your character get beat up or wins a fight, you have almost no limits to the story. The only limitations you have are to follow the roleplay rules posted on the
rules page.
You are welcome to post as many roleplays as you would like.
[Personal Saga]
A personal saga is when you create a short series of events that your character takes part in. You will keep posting in a thread until the saga is through. Once it is done, contact a staff member and they will tally with your bonus. Please if you are going to do a personal saga make it respectably long. Also if you would like to have other members be in your saga, have them post an introduction roleplay (see introduction roleplays below) into your story.
Be sure to write "Personal Saga" in the topic description so staff are aware! In addition to gaining roleplay bonuses for each post, you will also get a completion bonus one the saga is finished. The numbers in the chart below represent how many posts you must personally
have in the saga to gain these bonuses:
3 to 8 posts in the saga: +400 zeni, +1 DP, +10 all stats, +1 RP credit, +20 exp
9 to 19 posts: +500 zeni, +2 DP, +20 all stats, +3 Rp Credits, +40 exp
20 to 29 posts: +800 zeni, +3 DP, +30 all stats, +5 Rp Credits, +60 exp
30 to 39 posts: +1,000 zeni, +5 DP, +1 SP, +40 all stats, +7 Rp Credits, +100 exp
40+ posts: +1,250 zeni, +8 DP, +2 SP, +50 all stats, +10 Rp Credits, +150 exp
[Official Saga]
Official sagas are a major part of the RPG and a great way to increase your stats through participation. When a post is made in the sagas board by one of the staff, it will have the planet
of where it happened. The description will tell you the number of slots available for characters left to join.
If you are already there, you may decide to drop what
you are doing and participate. In this case you may reply
to the thread with your introduction roleplay. If you are not
on that planet, you may roleplay your character traveling to the spot of the saga. You do not
actually have to travel there in this case, so your character might be on Namek but you could participate in the
Earth Saga. To participate you must
make an introduction roleplay. (See introduction roleplay section below)
You cannot join a saga roleplay
if you are in a quest.
If you are participating in a saga you may still train and do other activities such as spar, distribute, and buy items
but you
cannot battle, or roleplay in other threads. Be aware that while sagas offer great rewards,
they also pose great risk. Saga
NPCs are often strong and it might result in death should you have to battle them.
The group fighting limit of participants does not apply to saga battles.
[Quest]
Taking a quest found on the Quests board is a great way to gain zeni and increase your level. To embark on a quest you must first reply
to that quests thread stating you (and whoever you want else to participate) would like to take on the quest. Once a staff member approves you can begin roleplaying it
on the proper roleplay board under the title of the quest. You cannot roleplay in other threads or battle while on a quest. You may still train and spar while on a quest. As well as earning the spoils specified by the quest, you will also earn roleplay bonuses for your roleplays and +10 exp. Be sure to write "Quest" in the topic description and the quest information/rewards in the first post of the quest.
Quests come in four difficulties:
Easy - 5 post minimum (total between participants), 6 posts needed for full bonus
Medium - 10 posts and at least 2 days of posting, 12 posts needed for full bonus
Hard - 15 posts and at least 3 days of posting , 17 posts needed for full bonus
Very Hard - 22 posts and at least 4 days of posting, 24 posts needed for full bonus
Moving up in difficulty:
You must start by taking on an easy quest. After you complete 1 easy quest, you can then move on to medium ones. To unlock hard quests you need to complete either 2 additional easy quests and 1 medium or 2 medium quests.
To move up to very hard quests, you need to complete at least 3 easy quests, at least 2 medium quests, and at least 2 hard quests.
Note: All posts must be at least 300 words.
