Point System
Vend Symbol
Gold Shard
often abbreviated with "GS"
There is one currency in this group called Vend. It also exists ingame, which means that it also serves as a currency in the world of Mereldia (only city characters use it of course). The money (Vend) your character carries with them to buy food, rent, etc. is not the same amount as the amount of Vend you are earning for your character! The Vend you earn is something that only YOU can use and is YOUR "money". So to say you and your character both have an amount of Vend, but you earn it differently. Your characters earns it ingame, you earn it outgame. We installed this system so that you can have the feeling of achievement. You are able to buy items for your character at the shop with the Vend you earn, as well as character slots.
One example.
You win an Objective with your character and therefore receive 50 . You now own 50 for your character and can buy them items at the shop with it. You choose to save the "money" though and therefore note down somewhere that you earned 50 . In that aspect we really recommend you to create a Vend-Tracker to keep track of your earnings.
With your other character you now also won an Objective and receive 50 . This does not mean that you now own 100 in total though, but that you own 50 for each character!
Every character has their seperate amount of earned Vend, do not count them together as one! Also only the Vend you earned for each character can be used to buy items for them each at the shop!
Apart from the game currency there is yet another system you need to know about: The Point System. This system rewards you with so called Gold Shards for your art. Which means everything you do for your character: drawings, literature, crafts, etc. basically everything that features your character gets rewarded. But this ONLY counts if you yourself drew that character! Drawings by other people of your character will NOT give YOU any reward! When you draw art from other people's Caspanas-RPG characters, then you also get rewarded with Gold Shards. To which character these Gold Shards get countet to is for you to decide.
One example.
You draw a fullbody picture of your character with a detailled background and get 6 for that effort. Your character therefore gains 6 . Again we recommend you to create a tracker so that you do not lose count of the Gold shards you earn. When you collect enough Gold Shards you will get prizes. With those prizes your character can gain extra abilities, gets to know some secret information or gets some other special reward. Point is that your work will be rewarded with allowed improvement for your character. The amount of Gold Shards you get for art depends on its complexity. To find out how much is worth what look below at the list.
