- Mage XP Report form
Deadline
- Like Glimpses, it's not mandatory, but it does affect your evaluation.
After You Submit
- It's the last day of the month, midnight. Few exceptions. You have a week to get them done, which is pleeeeeenty of time
Longevity XP
- XPRs will be graded and the results pushed out to your character sheets' XP Log.
- If you're new, you'll find a post in your character sheet thread that shows the XP Log, and it will be there.
What's the usual amount of XP given per month?
- Every calendar quarter, active toons receive a Longevity award. If you were active from Jan 1 to the end of March, you'll be getting a 5XP bonus. This is to encourage active, sustained characters.
- If you qualify for Longevity, we'll factor it in. If you think it should be there and it isn't, feel free to ask me about it, but be prepared to possibly be told you just weren't active enough to qualify
What is the XP award based on? Number of posts? Length of posts?
- Since the awards are 0-10, the average is 5.
- Activity
- Engagement with others/the venue
- RP Quality
