-The environmental base can be the setting itself. It helps establish location and depth, but does not count toward the 3-element requirement. To be approved, an environmental base **must** have a minimum of two (2) colors, which can be flat or gradient. Even if multiple layers are used for depth, they are still considered part of the environmental base. +\\ The environmental base can be the setting itself.

 +====✦ Writing Submissions====
 +Any written submissions to any **[[Navigation Hub|Task]]** must have at least **700 Words** unless otherwise specified. These submissions must also follow the general rules of that [[Navigation Hub|Task]]. 
 +
 +Written Submissions must be uploaded to ToyHouse or DeviantArt to be approved.
 +
 +====✦ Expeditions and Mythic Courses====
 +**[[Expeditions]]** and **[[Mythic Courses]]** are progression tasks in the ARPG. They are completed by submitting artwork that fits the prompts and advances the character.
 +
 +{{expeditionstampbook.png?25|Expedition Stamp Book}} **[[Expeditions]]** progress your [[Stellaborn]] by unlocking more content, like [[Activities|Gathering Activities]] for crafting materials.
 +\\ {{mytirmedallion-light.png?25|Light Mytir Medallion}} **[[Mythic Courses]]** unlock [[Magic]] and [[Spells]] that can be helpful in earning more rewards from [[Activities]] and/or [[Events]].
 +
 +**Strategy Recommendation**
 +\\ When completing the [[Bounty Board]], try to ensure the artwork also meets [[Expeditions|Expedition]] requirements so it can be reused, reducing the total amount of art you need to create.
 +
 +====✦ Missions====
 +**[[Missions]]** progress your [[Stellaborn|Stellaborn's]] [[character-attributes|Attributes]] to have a higher chance of earning rarer rewards or finding success in special attribute-focused prompts. Completing [[Missions]] permanently raises your character's [[character-attributes|attributes]]. Your character's current [[character-attributes|Attribute Levels]] are listed on their masterlist.
 +
 +Depending on the **[[character-attributes|Attribute Level]]** your [[Stellaborn]] is on, the art and writing requirements may differ. The requirements are listed below:
 +
 +For [[Character-Attributes|Attribute Levels]] 1-10:
 +  * A character must be drawn as a full-body (3-Limbs) with no background requirement. 
 +  * **OR** a written entry/chapter about a character completing the mission that is at least 300 words.
 +
 +For [[Character-Attributes|Attribute Levels]] 11-15:
 +  * A character must be drawn as a full-body (3-Limbs) twice in one image with no background requirement.
 +  * **OR** a written entry/chapter about a character completing the mission that is at least 600 words.
 +
 +For [[Character-Attributes|Attribute Levels]] 16-20:
 +  * A character must be drawn as a full-body (3-Limbs) with a background. 
 +  * **OR** a written entry/chapter about a character completing the mission that is at least 900 words.
 +
 +For [[Character-Attributes|Attribute Levels]] 21-25:
 +  * A character must be drawn as a full-body (3-Limbs) alongside a full-body (3-Limbs) of their mentor with a background. 
 +  * **OR** a written entry/chapter about a character completing the mission that is at least 1200 words.
 +
 +====✦ Bounty Board====
 +The **[[Bounty Board]]** is a bi-weekly art activity. You draw your [[Stellaborn]] based on the prompt's task, which can earn you rewards like [[Star Token|Star Tokens]] and items.
 +
 +====✦ Events====
 +**[[Events]]** are limited-time tasks that can happen a few times a year. [[Events]] are usually packed with [[Lore]] and reward special items, trophies, collectibles, and more.
 +
 +--------
 +
 +=====Systems=====
 +
 +====✦ Star Tokens====
 +{{startoken.png?25|Star Token}} **[[Star Token|Star Tokens]]**, or ST, is the main in-game currency used to buy items and [[Roamkin]]. There are several ways to earn them in the ARPG:
 +
 +- Completing the bi-weekly **[[Bounty Board]]** rewards up to 200 ST, if all bonus requirements are completed.
 +\\ - Completing the **[[Primary Expedition]]** rewards 150 ST.
 +\\ - Completing any other **[[Expeditions|Expedition]]** rewards 50 ST.
 +\\ - Participate in **[[Events]]** that reward extra variable ST bonuses.
 +\\ - Trading art, items, or [[Stellaborn]] in the [[https://discord.gg/MEF6PwjuJK|Official Discord]] for ST.
 +
 +====✦ Items====
 +There are several different types of items you can find and earn in the Starlight Commons ARPG. These items can be used to unlock, customize, and enhance characters, or even give bonuses to [[Navigation Hub|Tasks]]. Items are stored in the User's Bank at the **[[Obsidian Bank]]**.
 +
 +**[[Collectibles]]** are items meant to be gathered rather than used. They are mainly for collection, completion, and inventory display.
 +\\ **[[Novites]]** are small, cosmetic collectible Stellians. They are usually obtained from [[Events]], and do not provide any gameplay bonuses. They are meant for collecting, decorating, and visual fun only.
 +\\ **Utility Items** are functional items that affect gameplay or character progression. This includes Cosmetics for visual customization, and Gear that modifies [[character-attributes|Attributes]].
 +
 +====✦ Bond Bonuses====
 +[[Roamkin]] can be bonded to [[Stellaborn]] with no item necessary, and helps gain more or rarer rewards with their [[Energy Charge]]. An [[Energy Charge]] can only be used **once** per bi-weekly, and any spent charges recharge with the bi-weekly refresh. 
 +
 +Do more with multiple [[Roamkin]] bonded at once, though be wary of their same-species bonding limitations listed on their [[Roamkin|Roamkin Pages]]. 
 +
 +Bonded [[Roamkin]] can be removed at any time via **[[Critter Korner]]**.
