Guide: Building a Pack
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:
Have 1 Pack Deed in your personal Cache. Deeds can be purchased from the Village Market for 10,000 Felcredits. Create a Deviantart group for your pack and have at least 5 members join it.
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.
Please comment with the provided form:
Pack Name:(Cannot already be in use and must be appropriate.)

Official Pack Roster:
Please keep in mind alphas will need a detailed log of each pack member (player) and the Felvarg that is in it's pack! 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)Ulvenshul Roster/Pack Point Tracker - EXAMPLE
Please keep in mind alphas will need a detailed log of each pack member (player) and the Felvarg that is in it's pack! Please make sure you include felvarg ID numbers in your roster.WHAT TO DO ONCE YOUR PACK IS ACCEPTED
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. 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
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
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)
Activity images/literature featuring 2 or more pack members, at least one of which belongs to another member: +5 PP Is it a collaboration? If so: +1 PP The image or literature features an official Felvargs group Alpha: +1 PPEach 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.
CLAIMING A LOCATION AT RANK 10
At rank 10 packs may claim a small 30x30 pixel location on the official Ulfrheim map.
Packs may share a location but must not overlap another pack's icon Icons must be 30x30 pixels and on a transparent background Pack location must not cover any main visuals on the map.LOGGING/REDEEMING PACK POINTS
Pack leaders must log Pack Points, or designate another member to be in charge of logging in their stead. 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. 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).
Please post the following form here to redeem your gathered pack points:
