Guide: Building a Pack


Project Alpha 23 Helheims Gate By Oneminutesketch- by UlfrheimProject Alpha 09 Sannas Grasp By Oneminutesketch-d by Ulfrheim

Members who wish to band together and forge an alliance with other players can do so by creating their own subgroups, or 'Packs' of like-minded Felvargs. Joining a pack brings with it a number of benefits, especially as you participate and gain pack points which allow your group to climb the ranks. This guide explains how to get the process rolling, whether that means starting your own pack or joining an existing one.


HOW TO START A PACK

A pack will not be official until the person starting it has met the following requirements:

THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim Have 1 Pack Deed in your personal Cache. Deeds can be purchased from the Village Market for 10,000 Felcredits.
THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim Create a Deviantart group for your pack and have at least 5 members join it.

THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim Pack alphas/creators must be able to provide a deviantart pack account along side the group's pack roster, which should include 5+ members with at least 1 Felvarg each present on the pack roster.

Icon 0007 Bright-idea by Ulfrheim Please comment with the provided form:

Pack Name:
(Cannot already be in use and must be appropriate.)
Alpha/Owner:
Official Pack Roster:

THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim Please keep in mind alphas will need a detailed log of each pack member (player) and the Felvarg that is in it's pack!
THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim Please note the group directly once your pack is accepted if you would like us to create you a special gallery within the group's gallery specifically for your pack. (Optional)

Icon 0007 Bright-idea by Ulfrheim Please keep in mind alphas will need a detailed log of each pack member (player) and the Felvarg that is in it's pack!
 Icon 0007 Bright-idea by Ulfrheim Please make sure you include felvarg ID numbers in your roster.



WHAT TO DO ONCE YOUR PACK IS ACCEPTED


THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim After your pack has been formally accepted, it's time to start recruiting more members to help you participate in Pack Activities! Pack Activities are just like normal activities, but you must depict two or more pack members in your submission for it to count for Pack Points (PP). The more Pack Points you earn, the more bonuses your pack can unlock. Find out more about pack points here.

THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim Additionally, Felvargs from the same pack receive the Unite bonus -- +2 EXP --  when they are pictured together in an activity. At least one of the Felvargs pictured must belong to a different member to qualify.

HOW TO JOIN AN EXISTING PACK


THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim Each pack will have individual joining requirements, such as applications or entry prompts, but to see which are currently recruiting members, head on over to the Pack Advertisement folder!

CHANGING OWNERSHIP


THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim If for whatever reason you wish to exchange ownership of your pack to a different member, please relocate to the group's monthly import update journal.


COUNTING PP (PACK POINTS)

THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim Activity images/literature featuring 2 or more pack members, at least one of which belongs to another member: +5 PP
THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim Is it a collaboration? If so: +1 PP
THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim The image or literature features an official Felvargs group Alpha: +1 PP

Each pack must keep a detailed list of each member and those of their Felvargs participating in each activity in order for pack points to be counted.



LOGGING/REDEEMING PACK POINTS


THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim Pack leaders must log Pack Points, or designate another member to be in charge of logging in their stead.
THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim Packs must keep track of what activity entries have been submitted. If entries are submitted twice and duplicate rewards are received, the pack in question will have points docked from its cache.
THIS ICON IS NOT FREE by Ulfrheim The pack leader may only redeem Pack Points when they have accumulated at least 30 points. Up to 75 points may be redeemed per comment.

TIP *** We recommend having pack members log Pack Points in a separate journal created by your pack so that you may log and keep track of them with ease. Failure to keep a good log can result in a double post (and the repercussions listed above).

Icon 0007 Bright-idea by Ulfrheim Please post the following form here to redeem your gathered pack points:


Pack: (Link your Packs Deviantart.)
Current PP balance:
Total PP logging:
Proof of Pack Points: (List the redeeming images.)

(SCROLL OVER)

PACK POINT BONUSES


As your pack grows and participates in activities together, it will earn 'Pack Points', otherwise known as PP. Gathering enough of these points will allow your pack to unlock new ranks and perks for members. Every member of a qualifying pack will receive these buffs for each of their Felvargs in the pack!

Rank 1 - 50 Pack Points
All Felvargs get an extra +1 EXP when being depicted with other packmates.
(Stacks with Unite EXP Boost)

Rank 2 - 50 Pack Points (100PP Total)
+2% chance to bring back more valuable loot while Tracking.

Rank 3 - 50 Pack Points (150PP Total)
+2% chance to bring back more valuable loot while Fishing.

Species Information: FelvargsULFRHEIM, HOME OF THE FELVARGS
Build - Species Details

Felvargs are incredibly large direwolves who at birth, are gifted with the capability to communicate in the human tongue. They are naturally thick set, but not overly so, and are very capable hunters. Their legs are well toned, and depending on their geological location, are either built to sprint across short distances with frightening speed, or run great lengths over time with incredible stamina. Their skulls are thick and solid with deep and round eye sockets set either side of a softly sloped forehead. Their jaws are typically carnivorous with larger-than-average canines used to pierce and slice through the flesh of their prey with great ease, while their back teeth appear more blunt and herbivorous to crush and grind herbs and other beneficial plant life. A felvargs toes are webbed to enhance their water mobility, and their thick, double

March - HatcheryHatchery - Nursery
Welcome to the Nursery! This is where you drop off your eggs, where they will be cared for and hopefully hatch. Eggs can only hatch in the perfect conditions, meaning that not all eggs placed here will be guaranteed to hatch into a fuzzy companion.
How the nursery works:
First off, you need to find yourself some eggs. Seagull eggs and Turtle shells can be found while fishing. Hawk eggs are located while mountaineering. Snake eggs can be found in excavating but if you're lucky enough to have a cloverscale companion, you can locate them anywhere in the game! To drop off your eggs/shells please fill out the form and comment below.
" RULES "
Members can only have a single egg/shell in the hatchery at any given point. Once the egg is completed they may post additional eggs. (This includes eggs waiting in last months journal!)

Protecting yourself from Paypal chargebacksI decided I'd write something on this since it seems to be affecting a lot of my friends and artists I'm close to. I'll start with a few disclaimers.
Disclaimer 1:
I am not a finance expert. I have never filed a chargeback nor have I been in a chargeback dispute (fortunately). I have done some research out of both curiosity and out of desire to help out the community a bit. This is going to be quick(ish) and summarized. I'm also going to be changing some things to the way I sell as well (obviously).
Disclaimer 2:
This journal isn't about what to do in a chargeback dispute but rather, how to set up your sales so that you'll have the upper hand when having to deal with a dispute. I've included some useful links at the bottom for further information!

Printed Minky Reviewedit to add: yes the printed minky is washable! I didn't wash mine, but according to spoonflower "Wash separately in cool or warm water using a gentle machine cycle. Machine dry using a low temperature or permanent press setting and remove promptly to avoid wrinkles." Although please don't machine wash a plush, ahah. Just the fabric.
------------------
So I recently got the chance to play with printed minky! Here's a sort of review about it
Bought from: spoonflower.com
Price: $28/yrd. Very expensive, but for a very versatile product of this quality it's definitely justified.
Shipping: Only $6 to Canada, with tracking, took about a week and a half to arrive once shipped, no duties. A+
File prep: spoonflower has very simple requirements that are easy to follow. I scanned my pattern pieces, cleaned them up and colored them, then I copied them into a file that was set to spoonflower's specifications (150dpi, set to the width of minky. I added length as I needed it). To make sure my pieces
