Since your power grows when your rank does, ranking up is obviously on your mind. This guide will tell you how to rank up, and the rules about it.
1. How do I Rank up? In rp, ranking up happens automatically, but for the forums sake, I've chosen a different method. Once a week you can submit a request for a rank up. Me or another mod/admin will then give you a solo mission. You will complete this mission with the mod/admin(s) playing the role of monsters and NPC's. The Mod/Admin will then grade you based on your sucess, how many posts it took you to complete, and quality of the posts themselves. They will then issue you a rank. If this rank is higher than your current rank, you will be put there. If it is lower, you will stay where you are.
2. What are the Benifits of ranking up? Soul Bladers can have one Soul Stone per rank, and the stones can have 1 Special attack per rank. An obsidian rank would be allowed to have one stone with one special, while a diamond rank would have 7 stones each with 7 specials.
3. How do I Achieve the special Ranks of Academy Director and Academy Staff? Unfortunatley, that is the name for Mods and Admins. If you wish to join, you can pm me, but we only have a maximum of 10 slots open at any one time, and so the likelyhood of you getting in is slim. As the head Admin, I am the Academy Director, so that title will be given only to me.
4. How often can I rank up? That depends entirely on you. Although you can only submit a request once a week, to actually rank up depends on your skills as both a Soul Blader, as well as an Rper. A skilled Rper can rank up once a week. But a master rper can be automatically Rank up to a high rank based on their preformance.
Hope this cleared things up a bit.
