WELCOME!


Welcome to Primal Minds' Guidebook! This guidebook is one of the most important things that you will read on this entire site. It will give you the low-down of how we run things here, and it should help simplify everything for you! If you look to the left of this little box of information, you will find the links with all of our site information! If you click those links, it will bring you to the information of your desire!

I will be staying here the whole time, so if you need to take another look (or just want to) feel free to!

We would like to note that you DO NOT need to read all of the information! The links under the name "Needed" are what are most important when looking throughout the site! That area will have all the information that you require to register your character! Once you click that link, below this box all of the information will appear!

Once you complete your reading and you still have questions, please look to our FAQ or PM a staff member with your questions!!!

Happy reading!

Currency


What are Credits?

Credits are Primal Minds own currency. Rather than basing how much money you get on posts, the staff or PM has decided to base it on IC actions. Each IC action grants you a certain amount of credits to be used on IC items within the shop located here.

Each character that does an IC action keeps those credits to themselves. That means that if a roleplayer named Joe has two characters, Bob and Sue, that have different amounts of credits, each amount must remain with the character. If Bob has 20 credits but Sue has 50, neither can transfer any to the other.* Those credits are to be used for them only!

*The only way to use credits on another character is if the character isn't created yet. You can buy items for them before you create their account and just put a note in appearance if you're using something you previously bought before you made the account. You may also put a note when buying the item in the buying form in the shop*

Revised 2.4.2018
We now also have OC credits, which are Out Of Character credits. This means that if you win a contest that has credits, do something below for OC credits, these go with your OC account. You can keep track of these by posting a tracker or by keeping track of them in your profile (In appearance or personality). You can use OC credits to buy anything in the shop, just make sure to state what item is for what character. The rule above also applies to this. *Note that this does not go into effect with previous points. Only points after 2.4.2018.*

Credits must be verified first in this thread (click me!) before they may be used.

How do I track them?

You track credits the same way you track everything else: in your character page. Just like with the leveling, you gain a credit for each thing you do. The credits and experience are both the same thing (except you may get more credits for certain things than exp), so you can track them together. However, make sure that you keep them in their separate areas so that when staff goes to double check how many credits you have, they don't get confused.

(To make things easier, staff has provided you with a premade code to track things with within the character pages).

Example of tracking Credits:

Credits Tracking:
Completed thread: Practice power (1)/Meet a new person (3) = 4 total credits
Completed thread: Defeat another with magic (5)/Meet a new person (3) = 8 total credits

Total = 12 Credits.
