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

This guide covers all methods of character progression:

* **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.

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

===== 1. 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).

===== 2. 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.

===== 3. 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.

===== 4. Generation Points =====  
After character death, you earn Generation Points equal to the RPP of the killed character. You can purchase [[background_traits|backgrounds]] with them 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.
