CHRONICLE COINS
What are Chronicle Coins?
Chronicle Coins (CCs) are an account-wide resource that persists between character changes and season resets. You can use them to redeem various special rewards or feature unlocks for your character.
This system is our way of rewarding being a long-time player on Chronicles without punishing you for changing characters.
It's a good idea to keep at least 10 CCs in reserve, in case you find a Narration Plot you wish to join!
Acquiring Coins
There's a few ways of gaining Chronicle Coins.
1) Logging in: You gain 1 Coin per day.
2) Levelling up: You get a certain amount of Coins at level 5, 10, 15, and 20, equal to that level.
3) Character Death: If you accept death as part of a Feud, you can receive Chronicle Coins as a reward for good sportsmanship.
4) Narration Events: You can gain up to 5 Coins per week from participating and displaying good roleplay.
5) Monster Play: You gain Coins for reaching Monster Point thresholds in Monster Play. See the Monster Play page for more details.
6) Volunteering as Staff: Subject to being active and doing work, you can gain 10 Coins per month for volunteering.
7) Hosting Player Events: You may gain Coins for hosting social events, or otherwise helping foster a healthy roleplay community, and providing good RP. This is subjective, and up to Staff discretion.
8) Donation: Our first tier of donation ($5) provides 20 Chronicle Coins, which may be redeemed once per season. Higher donation tiers do not provide more Chronicle Coins.
New Journey
A player may choose to reset their character upon reaching level 20. This resets their level to 1, and gives them +1 Fate Point. They may also receive Chronicle Coins again for reaching level milestones.
New Journey characters keep any equipment, gold, or other items they have previously acquired, and they remain the same character. You may roleplay New Journey as a Rite of Akatosh, suffering amnesia, a religious trial, or a curse. Other ideas can be signed off by Narration staff as appropriate.
You can do this once per Season.
Chronicle Coin Spending
You can spend your coins on several options.
1) Build Allowance: You gain +100 Build Allowance for 10 Coins.
2) Sheet Reset: You may reset your Character Sheet up to 3 free resets before level 11. Otherwise, this costs 20 Chronicle Coins. You may change your Attribute Points, Background, Birthsign, and Subrace. You may not change your race.
Upon resetting your sheet, your current progress will be recorded and your sheet wiped. You will then be teleported to the Spawn area and instructed to redo your sheet. Once you are finished, speak to the Whitelist NPC to be teleported back to the Game World.
After you have been teleported, you will have an option to Restore Progress in the Character Menu. This will restore your level, Learning Points, experience, and other progress.
3) Tier 3 Equipment: You can gain a single piece of T3 Equipment for 50 Coins. You may do this once a week. Individual item statistics can be found in the Item Catalog. Your options are any armor, clothing, weapon, staff, shield, or talisman. Flasks/elixirs, food, alcohol, and drugs cannot be chosen.
4) Dark Paths: See below for more information.
5) Special Actions: See below for more information.
Dark Paths
In the shadows, there is power to be found for the unfettered - likely the product of taboo study, improbable circumstance, or Daedric pact. Beware: these paths will drive you from the arms of civilization, for to be discovered as a traveler of such a road is to bring upon fear, disgust, and the wrath of the Divines, even if not all those who walk these paths are wholly evil...
Dark Paths are unique systems that you can add to your character, introducing a curse or forbidden knowledge that may grant power, but damns your character to a life of suffering and exile. These systems often demand risk-taking and criminal activity from your character, but reward you with access to abilities and boons that normal characters do not have.
Dark Paths cost 50 Chronicle Coins to add to your character. This price may occasionally be discounted to 25 Chronicle Coins by Narration - either for the global server population due to lack of use, or for individual characters based on roleplay.
Examples of roleplay that might qualify you for a discount include:
- Roleplaying with another character already on that Dark Path.
- Requesting power from a deity, such as a Daedric Prince, using the Faith System.
- As a narrator reward for your actions during plot events.
It is ultimately down to Narrator discretion whether to grant a discount or not.
The Dark Paths are:
VAMPIRE - A cursed mockery of immortality, sustained by the life-force of mortals.
LYCANTHROPE - A curse of the soul, humanity slowly stripped away to be replaced by the Beast Within.
NECROMANCER - A forbidden school of magic, offering profane mastery over life and death.
Special Actions
Special Actions are, as their name implies, special. They require interaction with Narration staff - selecting any Special Action means you will need to open a Narration Ticket to discuss implementation with staff. They are not guaranteed.
1) Narrated Group Story: 70 Chronicle Coins per player. This entitles your group to a narrated storyline of up to 3 sessions of 1-3 hours each. Narration may decline these requests depending on availability, in which case your Coins will be refunded.
2) Play Special Character: 120 Chronicle Coins.
