These are purchases that relate to ranking up your character, or have to do with factions (not creating one!).
While rank ups no longer require IC content to purchase them, actively showing your character performing their task is still highly encouraged. Additionally, a character may only rank up once per season. Once reaching the final purchasable rank (the third tier), any higher ranks cannot be purchased and are selected by the faction's lead.
There are no limitations to how many times you can change factions with a character, but keep in mind that hopping around and "sampling" each faction may damage your character's IC reputation and earn them questionable loyalty.
5 Chimes
Your valleyfolk is able to rank up from omega (or equivalent ranks) to delta (or equivalent ranks) for 5 Chimes, provided they are not unable to advance for IC reasons (demotion, imprisonment, unlawful behaviour, etc.). There are no content requirements for this rank up.
The necessary Chimes MUST come from the character receiving the rank up.
10 Chimes
The cost to rank up from delta (or equivalent ranks) to gamma (or equivalent ranks) is 10 Chimes, provided they are not unable to advance for IC reasons (demotion, imprisonment, unlawful behaviour, etc.).
The necessary Chimes MUST come from the character receiving the rank up.
20 Chimes
The cost to rank up from gamma (or equivalent ranks) to beta (or equivalent ranks) is 20 Chimes, provided they are not unable to advance for IC reasons (demotion, imprisonment, unlawful behaviour, etc.).
The necessary Chimes MUST come from the character receiving the rank up.
15 Chimes
Perhaps the place you reside isn't all that you've hoped and dreamed for, that's okay! With a quick ticket and faction change, you too can make the big journey to new lands and (maybe??) greener pastures.
Please note that faction changes will be affected by faction relations. If two factions are at odds, it is unlikely that they will accept newcomers that hail from their enemy.
Please submit a ticket before purchasing to discuss any plot/IC repercussions that may happen due to this change.
Items listed here are specific to certain faction and only obtainable by characters actively part of that faction.
10 Chimes
These stones hold protective abilities, such as humming and vibrating when danger is near in turn giving the living the foreshadowed warning to be on guard. It does not protect them outside of this however, they can still be harmed wearing the protective ward! It does gives the wearer the opportunity to avoid danger.
When buying, you only get 1 Protective Pendant. The stones are no bigger than 1/4th of a paw, currently there is a range of 3 colours! They have a hollowed hole to be looped through by reeds, but also can 'connect' to the fur of the wearer almost drawn to fur near the heart.
*Currently only purchasable to Eirmuirians
