So too do Gods begin new incarnations barely fit to wield a vessel they've been granted. It is not simply time, but the quality of an experience apart or together, which bears out the character of a Shinki or their God, long before they attain a title like Hafuri or God of Fortune.' Information Overview | How do I gain Points? | Monthly Point Totals Points Overview There are two kinds of Points values that we use in The Far Shore: Total and Available. Total is what it sounds like; over the entire time that a character is in the game, their Total Points will never go down. Broadly, it is a gauge by which the Heavens view a character's prestige. It is possible for a character to have joined very recently and quickly racked up points, or to be around for a very long time and achieved very little. The latter is in fact the situation that the protagonist Yato finds himself in through the story Noragami; a cat achieved God of Fortune before him. We use Total Points for: Determining if a character has achieved the God of Fortune or Hafuri Title Determining if a character is eligible for certain Tasks Where a God character's temple may move to on the Locations page Whether a Shinki has enough experience to learn and cast certain Spells How well NPCs may treat characters they don't have firsthand experience with Available is the number of points that varies throughout the game. Early in the game, Total and Available will be the same number; Available will never exceed Total. Once a player starts cashing in their Points, Available will go down, but Total never will. Characters gain Points in both Total and Available at the same time. Players can spend their Available Points on: Regains for themselves or other characters Shinki spell learning and crafting How do I gain Points? You gain points many different ways! This is to try give players with different play styles multiple avenues to gain points. All of these ways have their own columns on the Monthly Tag Counts sheet. Generally there are 4 ways: Tagging in the Far Shore or Near Shore communities Responding to AC on time Rewarded through completion of Prayers and Missions Receiving Event Bonuses First up, tagging. The mods count tags in the Far Shore (Network) community and Near Shore (Logs) community for the players and then reward them each month for the previous month's activity. Points for 1 tag in the Far Shore: 5 followers 0.5 exp Points for 1 tag in the Near Shore: 10 followers 1 exp Points for AC Bonus: 200 followers 20 exp Please note: Gods' followers are always 10x that of a Shinki's exp, but a God's regain costs are always 10x that of a Shinki's as well. Gods are not getting a point advantage over Shinki. Second, AC Bonus. This is an all-or-nothing bonus. The points are added each month when tags are tallied and can be found on the Monthly Point Totals sheet in the AC Bonus column. Those characters that end up on the AC Warning List are not eligible for receiving their AC Bonus. Who does get AC bonus then...? Those who responded to AC on time. This includes HMD comments during eligible months. Those who didn't respond, but are on Hiatus. Those who accidentally ended up on the AC Warning List and that is later corrected by the mods. If the Tag Counts go up before this mistake is realized, we'll be happy to add in AC Bonus later. Third, Prayer and Mission rewards. These vary, but they're detailed on their respective pages. When you complete a Prayer or Mission, a list mod replies to your completion comment with how many followers or exp the character(s) gained. Those reward points are added instantly on the Monthly Point Totals sheet into the Prayers column. Lastly, Event Bonuses. These are also on a case-by-case basis, but they are tied to the mod-run Monthly Events. If there are Event Bonuses available, how you earn them and how much they are worth will be explained on the Event Announcement, the Event Log, and a comment on the Event Log where you turn in your completed threads. A list mod will reply to your completion comment with how many followers or exp the character(s) gained, just like for Prayers and Missions. Those bonus points are added instantly on the Monthly Point Totals sheet into the Event Bonus column.
