Here is a guide for Gratitude Tokens and how you get them!
Method 1 - Gift Art!
Draw somebody's Drakiri as a gift to be nice, and you will get rewarded!
There ARE some rules to this, however!
-For any gift that includes the Drakiri in a group setting, there are some special rules. You MUST have the permission of the Drakiri's owner to add them to group images. This will either be present as a note in the Drakiri's profile, or a comment in the Leasing thread on the Forum. If there is no permission for the Drakiri to be added in to group images, you will be unable to redeem the GT from the image. Any other gift art (A solo image done as a gift, for example) does not need this special permission.
-Make sure you obey the spirit of the rules, not the letter! The Gratitude Token system is meant to reward people for being nice to eachother, not as a resource to be farmed. Make sure you are doing the drawing just to be nice to somebody else, not just for the Gratitude Tokens you will get out of it. Be nice to those around you, and you will be rewarded!
To redeem your Gratitude Tokens, complete the following form!
Gift Art URL: Link to the gift
Recipient: The recipient's URL (Their LK, specifically)

Group Image Permission URL: (If there is a URL with the permission to use them in a group image instead of a note on the Drakiri's profile)

Low Level Bonus: +5 GT
(Levels 0-2. Please note that the rule requiring the permission of the Drakiri's owner to add them to group images is still in place for this bonus. This permission will either be present as a note in the Drakiri's profile, or a comment in the Leasing thread on the Forum if permission has been given. If there is no permission for the Drakiri to be added in to group images, then you can not get any GT for the image, or this bonus.)
Method 2
Giving away free slots
Note that you may only redeem Gratitude Tokens from five gifted slots a month!
Gifting a Slot: 2 GT
Breed
Common Breed: No Additional Reward
Uncommon Breed: +1 GT
Rare Breed: +2 GT
Crossbreed or Mutt: +2 GT
Base Coat
Cream/Fawn: No Additional Reward
Gold/Chestnut: +1 GT
Black/Epistatic White: +2 GT
Genes
(Physical Traits, Markings, Abilities and Mutations, though all mutations aside from Legendaries are the same rarity, and count as rare)
Common Genes: No Additional Reward
Uncommon Genes: +1 GT if the Drakiri has uncommon genes
Rare Genes: +2 GT if the Drakiri has rare genes
Legendary Genes: +3 if the Drakiri has Legendary genes
The rewards for the rarities stack with eachother, but not themselves. So if they have uncommon genes, rare genes, and legendary genes, they get a total of 5 for the gifted slot.
Level
Level 0-2: No Additional Reward
Level 3-4: +1 GT
Level 5: +2 GT
Specialty Level (6-8): +3 GT
Note that if this slot is used and the person that used it gets a visible Legendary gene out of the breeding, you can file a "Redeem Gratitude Tokens" prompt for an additional 5 Gratitude Tokens per geno that inherited a visible Legendary gene! You will receive a notification when the slot is used. This does not apply to Legendary mutations that generated randomly.
Note that breed-specific abilities do not count towards the slot gift reward.
Method 3
Giving away genos or Imports, or donating them to the Adoption Center. You may ask for Aurics instead of Gratitude Tokens for donations. Note that you are limited to redeeming 3 Geno gifts a month! Grat tokens for donations to the adoption center, however, are unlimited. You can not use Adoption Papers to adopt genos that you donated. Genos you were gifted, then regifted do not apply *UNLESS* you added a lot to them, and then you only get the payout for the stuff you added.
The rewards for gifting genos and donating genos is the same; however only donated genos can net Aurics!: Adoption Center Donation Reward Guide
Method 4
Free Import Design
- Designing an import for a member will net you 2 Gratitude tokens. This does NOT stack with the gifted geno! If you design the geno and then give it to them as an Import, it just gets the Import gift!
- +2 for every 4 markings that need designed
- +1 for simple lineart edits (Small bangs, some fuzzies, small expression changes, editing traits to make them layer better, stuff like that)
- +2 for moderate lineart edits (Adding feathering, adding
- +5 for extensive lineart edits (Such as applying a glamour, or doing major mutations)
You get Gratitude Tokens for just being a nice and helpful person! If you are helpful and nice to other members, helping them learn the game, helping to weed out bugs and exploits, supporting the ARPG, and similar, you will be awarded Gratitude Tokens by the staff!
