networks, levels, and quests oh my!
Hey guys! I have a couple of important additions to the game's mechanics, and also a bitty ditty about this week's event. As always, if you have any questions/comments after reading, just let us know!
First of all, and most importantly: there is now a public board! AKA the familiar network mechanic. CCorp pushed their re-opening of The World and not everything was done, but now the message board is up and running with a new addition to the Relic. There will be audio, video, and of course text messaging available immediately and will be introduced with its first post announcing the event with the first clue.
The icon that opens the board will be flashing on the Relic, and when the characters open it, they'll be given a tutorial that walks them through the basics of how to work it and what it can do. Anonymous posting will be allowed, but encryption is entirely up to the character's ability to do so.
There will also be a PM system in effect soon, but as of yet it hasn't been "finished". It's coming, it's coming, it's coming. Beware, soon you'll be privy to all your friends' thoughts and remarks.
-----
Moving on, I wanted to detail the level system and alternate ways to rack up your levels! I apologize for it not being clarified earlier, and please do comment to account for any extra levels earned with these guidelines.
There may be other ways added eventually, but for now these are the basics, and they'll be added to the FAQ shortly as well as be reminders posted to A/C. Any activity/missed levels from game opening can be claimed here and now, just reply to the LEVELS thread below!
-----
Now, about this week's event. It's packed full of things to do and swag to gain, but that also means it'll be a lot of tagging! It's a scavenger hunt setup meant to guide Players through The World, get accustomed with it and know what there is to know-- as well as introduce our new Root Town! It's a fun and low-leveled journey through all the different areas and begins in the Root Town, with the first hint given.
I'll be outlining the hints, solutions, and prizes to be earned below, separated via cuts in case you want to avoid spoiling the surprises. :)
HINT: The setting sun will never shine behind your home.
SOLUTION: Mac Anu - crates down the side alley of the mercenary district/@Home
PRIZE: Slotted low-level accessories up to player discretion.
HINT: Carts can carry more than spheres.
SOLUTION: shrine dungeon - Warm Cupola's Paradise (lvl.5) - first chim sphere factory, which are small mine carts on a railroad
PRIZE: CHIM DOLLS FOR ALLLLLL. These can be traded in the new root town for decent level weapons or kept as collectibles.
HINT: Fragments aren't the only pieces to be gathered.
SOLUTION: grasslands field - Roaring Destiny's March (lvl.4) - two random field chests (fragment field)
PRIZE: 3,000GP and whatever regular swag the other chests in the area yield while searching.
HINT: (SPLIT INTO TWO HALVES HORIZONTALLY, from the grasslands chests) The lights will lead you to the trade capital.
SOLUTION: cave dungeon - Unseeing Corpse's Dark Tree (lvl.2) - behind one of the glowing mushroom clusters on the second floor (entrance hallway for each floor, three clusters on each entrance side)
PRIZE: Ruby Brooch - great for trading, up to two or three high-level items or kept for future use.
HINT: None.
SOLUTION: Lumina Cloth - new server town, final prize given by the npcs behind the registry counter, encouraging trade of any and all items owned
PRIZE: Level-specific armor, slotted with gold drop increase accessories!
Aaaand I believe that's everything! The network post will be coming shortly, and the event log right behind. :) ♥
Feel free to plot away, break into groups, or slam us with any questions/clarifications inside!
EDIT so you guys aren't spammed.
I realize we weren't able to announce the winners for the Tulip Quest(!!!). Going through the log, we conclude that the winners are Mia's party: Mia, Ivan, Roy. They each gain(ed) one extra level from the quest.
We've also decided a winner for the steambike raffle! We used RNG to roll for the winning raffle number, and the winner is Faris! Congratulations!

Moving on, I wanted to detail the level system and alternate ways to rack up your levels! I apologize for it not being clarified earlier, and please do comment to account for any extra levels earned with these guidelines.
ONE: Of course the default, participate in events! This is the quickest way to earn levels, and the highest net gain of anywhere between 1~4 levels per event.
TWO: Post! You'll earn one level per (any) post made, up to four posts a month. While we do encourage activity, we don't want to see a lot of spam just to up levels! :(
THREE: Dungeon crawl! Or any form of non-event leveling. Field areas will earn you two levels each, and dungeons will be three. Please be sure to show us your log/post about doing so and we'll grant you the levels for them! The actual grinding can be handwaved, so long as it ICly did happen/was organized and assumed to have happened.
FOUR: Pass activity! As we mentioned in the FAQ, there is one level awarded per a/c passed-- if you gain no other levels, at least this will be accounted for.
There may be other ways added eventually, but for now these are the basics, and they'll be added to the FAQ shortly as well as be reminders posted to A/C. Any activity/missed levels from game opening can be claimed here and now, just reply to the LEVELS thread below!

Why can the characters even read the hints? say, on the fragments??
It's not even important for the thread I am in, but it really makes me curious? YOU ARE FREE TO PAP ME for being endlessly nosy '^'
LEVELS
Re: LEVELS
Event levels: 5
Post levels: 2
Dungeon levels: Field, dungeon, field, field, field. So 11.
AC levels: 2
Total: 20 levels gained, putting her at about... level 24 if memory serves. Unless I screwed up counting somewhere up there which is entirely possible.
Do I need to say who I am /STARES
Two
AC
AC²
Field
I think I will...go through Oz' tag....oioi bunny
Re: LEVELS
AC : 2
Dungeons : Field Field Shrine = 7
Events : Tulip Chest Festival = 5
Posts : 4
Result : So Ryusei should be level 18, again I could be wrong this is just by my calculations
Re: LEVELS
That should put him at level 26.
Re: LEVELS
Posts: 1
Dungeon Levels: dungeon (3), field (2)
Total: +6! So that should put him at 32.
Re: LEVELS
Posts: 1 (oops)
Dungeons: Dungeon and Field | 5
AC: 2
Total: 8 levels, so Jake would be level 9 at this point.
Toph and Davesprite both have one post and passed one AC each, and did participate in the festival event, but I dunno how many levels that would've gained, lol. So, right now, they're at level three.
no subject
Field dungeon: Here with Aradia. +2 levels.
Post: Intro. +1 level.
He also participated in the festival event, but idk if that's worth levels. If it's not, Sollux is now Level 5.
Re: MOD QUESTIONS
Mia.
She was involved in every event on the spreadsheet except the most recent one, which comes out to 23 levels from events alone.
She has made one post "First Snows" for an additional one level
She passed the May and June ACs for two additional levels
There hasn't been any explicit plans involving her going to an area to train that have been followed up on
And she gets one more for winning Tulip Quest...
This makes Mia Level 27.
Anguished One.
He gained 15 levels from events so far.
He has posted twice: "I. Nova" and "II. Red" for two levels
He passed the May and June ACs for two levels
Dungeon levels: Three fields, for 6. With Taiyou, Takeshi, and N
This makes Alcor Level 26.
Faris.
She's gained 6 levels from events so far.
She has posted twice: "01. The Pirate" and "02. The Fire-Powered Motorcycle" for two levels
She passed the June AC for one level
She went on a dungeon-crawl with Dirk Strider and Jake English in "Spelunky! But with less treasure, dying, and pith hats" for three levels
This makes Faris Level 13.
Jale is new and hasn't done anything yet. Except for the new quest, go hit him up people!
Also you might want to delete a column from that spreadsheet, as there was no AC for the month of April!
Re: LEVELS
Event: Does the fair count? I'm gonna assume not.
Post: 1
Dungeon: 3
AC: 1
Total gained: 5
Current level: 5
no subject
AC levels: 2
Post levels: 3
Dungeon levels: Dungeon, field, dungeon. 8.
Event levels: 0, but there's a snazzy yukata so s'cool.
...so 13 levels gained, making him 14 total.
no subject
Event Levels: 3 (6 if we're counting the festival)
Posts: 2
AC: 1
So I guess either 7 or 10? Assuming he started at level one
Tsubaki:
Event Levels: 6 (9 if counting the festival)
Posts: 1
Grinding: 2, 3
AC: 2
So Tsubaki should be 10 as of June, 13 by now?
