====== Progression Guide ======

===== Roleplay Points =====  
Roleplay Points (RPP) are your primary progression currency, awarded every 23 hours via the reward chest based on your Activity %. Higher Activity yields more RPP—spend them on stats, skills, reputation, and unlocks! See the [[roleplay_points|RPP System]] page for full details.

===== 1. How to Progress =====  
A character can advance via:
  * **RPP Chests** – Awarded every 23 hours when you log out and back in or type `/reward`. Higher Activity → more RPP.  
    * Opening later delays your next chest.  
  * **Missions** – Complete objectives to earn Reputation, money, and Experience.  
  * **Events** – Meaningful event roleplay can yield bonus rewards.

===== 2. Energy =====  
Energy is required to take on missions and perform activities.

* **Sleeping** – Every 2 hours of rest → +30 Energy.  
  * **Food** – Eat to gain Energy; can eat once every 10 minutes (timer resets on logout).  
  * **Roleplaying** – +1–3 Energy per minute of roleplay (requires recent sleep).  
  * **Using “say”** – Same as above; each minute of chat grants 1–3 Energy (sentences > several words).

===== 3. Missions =====  
Unlock missions once you have a background (3 RPP) or ≥ 1 Reputation. Terminals are at Cascade, Aethergarde Academy, Outskirts.

* **Rank Requirements**  
    * E Rank – 15 % Energy, 0 Reputation  
    * D Rank – 25 % Energy, 400 Reputation  
    * C Rank – 35 % Energy, 800 Reputation  
    * B Rank – 45 % Energy, 1700 Reputation  
    * A Rank – 55 % Energy, 2300 Reputation  
    * S Rank – 65 % Energy, PvP-only, Reputation varies by opponent strength  
  * **Squad Bonus** – Join a squad to attempt missions above your Reputation.

===== 4. Activity =====  
Activity % (0 – 400) drives RPP rewards. When you open your chest:
  * You gain up to 100 % worth of Activity → converted to RPP.  
  * 100 points of Activity are then consumed (min 0 left).

* **Gaining Activity**  
    * Chatting (`say`) near others → +1–2 % per minute (cooldown shared with roleplay).  
    * Roleplay (few sentences) → +6–14 % per minute.  
    * Accepting/completing missions → +2 % each (long cooldown).  
    * Burying corpses at Outskirts Shrine → +% per body; chance to restore or remove Sanity.  
    * Prayer at Shrine Relics → Activity & Sanity gains.  
    * Killing faction guards → +25 % Activity.

===== 5. Generation Points =====  
After character death, you earn Generation Points equal to the RPP of the killed character. Spend these permanently on future characters.

* **Access** – Press Esc → Generations menu.  
  * **Haunting** – Click “Haunt” next to a deceased character to control their ghost at the Shrine.  
  * **Purchases** – Browse your Generation Points total and available unlocks.
