Wynks are the group currency. They're used in place of game currencies in certain games and for items in the shop. For all intents and purposes they are an actual in-game currency and are to be treated as such, though may not be traded for other currencies. It's currently at a 1:1 ratio with USD.
Why do we have wynks? Some people aren't able to easily get other currencies. So wynks are there to help make things easier on them. That and for something to buy items with while still being able to use their other currencies on coms and stuff.
How to earn Wynks

Having trouble deciding what a piece counts as for the depicted portion of a character? Look down below for a visual reference. We do count chibi styles the same as nonchibi styles, so we've included a chibi reference as well.
Premade template + calculator
If you need a tracker template and don't want to make one yourself, we have one premade. All you have to do is make a copy and you're ready to go.
We also have a calculator for those that need a little extra help with math. You will need to make a copy to use it.
