im trying to build a felvarg tracker and I'm confused about something...im adding exp for PoC (which, in the PoC journal it says is plus 5 experience for bronze medal), but its also not commissioned, fullbody, shaded, and a background... do I add up all of that or just the passage of courtship (10 in total since she got 2 PoC) and the other exp is just for things like quests and activities?

sorry im a huuge newb and only just got time to do felvarg stuff

Ulfrheim Featured By Owner Jul 14, 2018

For adding the medal to your EXP tracker, you can just link to the proof of your medal and say +5 EXP! If you'd like, you can see how I've added it to one of my Felvargs trackers here, the first two links being the PoCs and the third being the medal: Beatrice 984 -- EXP Tracker

Please don't hesitate to ask us if you have any more questions!

Would you consider this background to be complex or Simple

Would a knitted felvarg count as "sculpture", then?

MrsEvelyn Featured By Owner Jul 21, 2017 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yes it would!

As long as we are still able to see who they are at first glance and follow the requirements.

Hakaishi Featured By Owner Jun 25, 2017

The EXP calculator on the site has "Fullbody Image" written as "Fullbody Lined"; does this still mean the same thing regardless? Like, if I make a piece that is fully a painterly style as in no visible lineart due to full rendering, can I still tick the "Fullbody Lined" option to get the EXP for a fullbody image?

Ulfrheim Featured By Owner Jun 29, 2017

Hi there!

Yes you can.

Sorry about the delayed response, we do take styles into account. As long as it's fully rendered, it means the same thing regardless.

How much exp does a handler give? (As a bonus)

BreezyDraws Featured By Owner May 11, 2017

(Not an Admin, but)
As this is a Wild species, there are no handlers, so I don't think there is a bonus.

Zaleho Featured By Owner Mar 20, 2017 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Just double checking... backgrounds only give exp if on full body art?

Ulfrheim Featured By Owner Mar 20, 2017

If the image exceeds 500 x 500 it will award background experience. It just needs to imply the Felvarg is in the background in some way.

Just curious, but if you roleplay with someone, do you just count up all the posts you did or the entire thing between you and the other person/felvarg for literature credit?

Also, how do you tally up comic pages? Is is per panel or is there like an overall thing?

Ulfrheim Featured By Owner Feb 19, 2017

You would count the entire thing for literature credit.

As for comic pages, we don't have a system of EXP for that just yet. However, for now, you could tally it per panel.

Okay, thank you :3

Is it possible to get shading and colour bonuses with chibis, or does it not matter how detailed they are, they're always just 1 EXP?
Just checking so I count my little batch right once they've been uploaded.

Ulfrheim Featured By Owner Edited Feb 19, 2017

You can get shading and colored bonuses with chibis! The EXP would be as follows:

CHIBI/SPRITE (Fullbody option ONLY)

Chibi/Sprite [Chi] +.5EXP

Colored [Chi+c] +.5EXP

Shaded [Chi+cs] +1EXP

Do you get any experience for animated pieces?

Ulfrheim Featured By Owner Feb 8, 2017

We are adding more forms of exp to our allowance list, please check back in a few days and animation will indeed be on there. <3

Was "Battleground" renamed "Feral Recruiting"? I was trying to calculated the exp for my two recruiting entries and I couldn't remember if that's what it was.
