(⦔) ━━━ CHRYSOCYON // exploring (Spring Update)

[.lucifer]

Hello, and Welcome to the Exploration Thread!
here, you may send your chyros out to explore the world! they will bring home one prize each time they explore, as well as gain 5 exp per exploration trip. be sure to read all the rules and information before posting!

rules

A single chyro may explore each of the three areas once per week.
This means that a single chyro may make three exploration trips per week at maximum.

As long as the user is not sending a chyro to explore the same area more than once per week,
there is no limit to how many times they may post on this thread.

You may only send a chryo that you own on exploration trips.
If you are a non-owner, please see the box below this one.

There is no longer an art/writing prompt requirement for exploring.
Any art you make to accompany an exploration trip will simply give extra exp, as normal art does.

Rollover is every Sunday at 12:00 AM PST.
Use this timezone converter to see what time rollover is for you.
My posts do not indicate rollover. Your chyro's exploration trips reset on rollover. Not my posts.

In order to redeem any exp earned on this thread,
you must post on your chyro's thread with a link to the post awarding said exp.
Do not link to your exploration post, or it will not count. You should only ever link to a staff member's post.

Non-Owner Option
Non-owners may still explore the world of Arkylia in hopes of finding items or perhaps even a maned wolf to call your own.
If you are a non-owner, simply fill in the "chyro exploring" area with "non-owner". You may explore each area once per week.

Area Three:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Spring Valley
- forest items

Area One:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Blooming Meadow
- plains items

Step-By-Step Tutorial

1. Post your form(s) to the thread.
- Remember, you may send a single chyro to each of the three areas once per week. That means one chyro can go on up to three exploration trips per week, once to each available area. Areas will change monthly.

2. Wait for a staff member to respond and give you your outcome(s).
- If you are waiting for longer than 48 hours, PM me (.lucifer) and i will respond as soon as i can.

3. Fill out and post the Redeeming Exploration EXP form on your chyro's thread(s) that participated in the exploration trip.
- You must fill out one form per exploration response, and must make a post on each of your chyro's threads in order to redeem the exp. You may group multiple forms into one post if they are all for the same chyro and that chyro has not redeemed their exp from those response posts yet.

And that's it!! Happy Exploring!
