How To Gain XP
Pose! Every 15 minutes, players who have written at least one pose that is 140 characters long or more get pose XP, up to a maximum daily amount. 75% of the daily pose XP is awarded for 2 hours of RP and the remaining 25% is awarded afterward. Your daily pose XP gains diminish over time according to your total XP until 300 XP, at which point pose XP is no longer accumulated.
Get +Rec'ed. Players can write +recs as often as they please. Each player's +rec list is a weekly a raffle for +1 XP. One randomly chosen character in that +rec list gets that week's +1 XP.
Get WRECKT. Characters that take 5+ damage (post soak) earn 0.25 XP. Characters that undergo significant negative consequences in a staff-run scene earn 1 XP if it's due to a one-off, and 3-5 XP at ST discretion if it's due to plotting over a period of time. This includes things such as loss of vampiric status, loss of ghouls/resources, and being betrayed.
Change it up. If you +rec someone new, or someone who you haven't +recced in over 2 months, then you both get +0.5 XP.
Take risks. Did you do something that almost got you killed? Are you a single bluff-call away from a scandal? Send in a +request to staff explaining the stakes and what you did, and we will give you +1 XP. People with the Daredevil merit do not benefit from this.
How To Spend XP
XP expenditures are facilitated through the XP room on the game. Attributes, Abilities, Virtues, in-clan Disciplines, and Willpower are available through flat purchase no questions asked. Other traits (out-of-clan Disciplines, blood magic paths, rituals) are obtained through the +teach command. Backgrounds are earned through role play and request.
