OPENING Guide


Welcome everyone! Its been a lot of hard work from the team since this new website's conception to get this up and going, but we are ready for our first wave of ARPG testing! Please check out the guide below for what is currently available to complete!

Hello and thank you guys endlessly for the kind words, excitement, and of course patience with us as we got to work with the ARPG!

We are so excited to be able to unveil the start of what we hope to be multiple parts of the release for the ARPG and features for the site!
There’s a lot of details below about what is coming in this first part later in this announcement and what we hope to be working on next, along with some other small things. It’s really exciting, and I'm so thankful to the team and members who helped contribute everything they have to make this a reality!

As a reminder, this is going to be the first part of the ARPG so it is quite limited compared to what we hope will be the full picture later as we progress. Consider it like the first true beta test round for the ARPG I think! However, as previously mentioned, there aren’t any plans to remove progress or wipe any progress during this unless there is a potential bug or site feature that breaks and does something completely unintended, but that is unlikely. Knocking on wood of course omg…


BUT for now, I just want to give everyone who helped out as well as all the people who have been excited for everything my utmost appreciation and gratitude. There’s a lot that has changed since the initial concept of the ARPG, but I’m really excited for what is becoming real and the plans we have and options available to us as we go forward. It’s a new experience for me overall, and I’ve been having a fun time learning and I aim to keep doing so as we continue onward with more! Slowly but surely, the site and ARPG as a whole has been expanding with lots of new things and possibilities, and I cannot wait to see where things go!

We aim to roll more mainstay prompts with time, and are in active development of more! Payout values are also subject to change. If you participated in the alpha you may have noticed that they have changed a lot! The team believed that this system was more complex than necessary, and wanted to start smaller, so that numbers felt like they had more weight to them when earned, and adding up payout values could be made easier to undertsand.

Payout guide

All prompts listed as "Standard Payout" Will have a calculator attatched that will help you calculate payour rewards. These payouts have a chance of changing over time! With this first release, we aim to test how they go!

Defects 

Defects are when magic overtakes part of a character's body.  They have a chance of being rolled each time you roll with a mentor. If you recieve one of these items, they will be bound to the character you are rolling for. They may be turned in for 2 levels of their respective magic if you do not wish to have a defect on your character.

OTHER UPDATES and what comes next

SITE CURRENCY / ITEM TRADING

You may trade/transfer any item that you own that is not marked as account bound. All trades require admin approval
Item Trades:
  • Transfers of Skire Club currency ("Crowns") or items to other individuals should only be done if obtaining art or something Skire.club related. (Examples being: a Skire character or items able to be obtained on Skire.Club). 
  • You may trade your Crowns and Skire items for art (including art dolls, badges, plushes, and other physical work),  Skire Characters, or other Skire items. MYO Slot items cannot be traded under any circumstance. You may determine your price in crowns for items or art, and it does not have to adhere to onsite standard pricing. Art does not have to be Skire themed, but all other trades must be Skire related. Items and currency cannot be traded for non-Skire characters.
  • Individuals may not sell or purchase Crowns or Skire Club items for real-life money or currency by any means. This rule excludes characters or MYO Slot items that have resale values listed. Skire characters are not considered an item such as trait tickets, trait items, crafting items, etc. If this rule is found to be broken at any point a ban may be made on-site and in Skire community spaces.
  • Crowns and Skire Club items cannot be exchanged for real-life goods such as gift cards, games, attire, etc. by any means. Crowns however may be exchanged by users for custom handmade crafts such as character plushes, character physical artwork, etc.
  • Crowns and Skire Club items can be exchanged to others as gifts, however exploitation of multiple accounts to obtain Crowns or items is prohibited, and can result in the revoking of items obtained unfairly and a ban to the offending accounts. You may not utilize multiple accounts under any circumstance, especially to generate items via free gifts, or any other means of exploiting the ARPG System.
  • Improper listing of a "gift" in order to circumvent any of the above rules is strictly prohibited and may result in a ban on-site and in the Skire community.
  • You are required to use the onsite Item Trades function when creating trades. Please provide sufficient proof of terms via image links, detailed lists, etc. Trades will be rejected if proof of their terms are insufficient.
  • Parties involved in trades must both approve the trade twice. Please make sure your trade partner attaches the correct items. Users are responsible for managing their trade's completion, and the Skire admin team cannot reverse trades.
  • You may offer commissions for crowns/items at your own preferred pricing. You may also gift items or crowns, but must specify this when trading. 
  • If we are made aware of multi-accounting, any items transferred will be removed from the account, and all accounts involved are at risk of a ban. Multi-Accounting is against the rules and the spirit of the ARPG. BY CREATING TRADES YOU AGREE TO THESE RULES.
