Tokens
Welcome to the Roots of the Wild token system! Tokens are earned through out-of-world contributions and tracked per member, not per character.
💡 In-world, Roots operates on a trade economy. Tokens represent OOC contributions and are used for special rewards, upgrades, and perks.
📋 Tokens can be used to:
Sell or purchase items to and from the village shops using the /economy shop-buy and /economy shop-sell commands in the #community-board channel.
Purchase items from player character vending shops.
🛠 Setup Process
Tokens are automatically set up during the character creation process.
The bot will log new earnings automatically.
💳 Checking Your Balance
Use /tokens check or visit the tokens tab in your profile on tinglebot to view:

🖼️ Visual Works
Visual works include digital and traditional artwork.
To calculate tokens for art submissions:
Base × Type Multiplier × Product Multiplier + Add-Ons = Total
Special visual works (comics and animations) follow this formula:
Comic/Animation Tokens + Visual Work Total = Final Total
More characters = more tokens. A custom token calculator is available to help.
Note: Collaborators must split tokens before applying any bonuses.
