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.

🖼️ 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.
