LEVELING

Leveling is an important part of the ARPG- it is what determines your max amount of alive Whiskers you can have, and also encourages you to develop your characters, world, and story.

To level, you need to complete the required tasks and submit the correct form in the archives.
Find the leveling tasks here.


STARTER WHISKERS

A starter whisker is a free custom Whisker you can claim only once! Once you get your first Whisker, no matter if its from adopts or customs, you will no longer be able to redeem your Starter Whisker. If you submit a starter whisker form and it is claimed, you can not win any adopts until it is done, due to the level 0 Whisker limit.
Find more information under the adopts info thread.

ARCHIVES

The archives keep track of all the Whiskers, their owners, and the user's group information. Making sure your row on the archives is as up to date as possible (with a little bit of time to spare when concerning the archive update thread- we can't update it all day!) is important to avoid confusion and mistakes within the ARPG.

To view your row on the archives, have a look at the archive spreadsheet.
To submit a form to update your information in the archive, view the archive updates thread.

CUSTOMS

Sometimes, as you develop your story, you may find yourself with certain concepts to fill the role of the character. But, maybe the adopts you've been trying out for haven't been going the right way for you. Or maybe there aren't any that fit the character quite right. Luckily for you, there are these wonderful things called customs that will get you that concept! Customs are Whiskers made specifically based on what you want. They are paid, however, and have various limits to avoid abuse of the opportunity.

If you would like to buy a custom, check if an artist is open on the customs thread.
Find the artist prices and other information here.

BREEDINGS

Breedings are similar to customs, except you can get 1-4 Whiskers and they're all somewhat random. Using the genetics guide and knowledge of cat genetics, the artist will create a randomized amount of kittens for you. You will receive both a kitten and an adult reference sheet. Breedings are paid and work just like customs.

If you would like to buy a breeding, check if an artist is open on the breedings thread.
