Tracker Guide
Hey there!
You may be familiar with trackers from other ARPGs already. Trackers are used to collect experience points
from art and literature and are necessary for your Saliko to reach a new rank.
So if you're new to all of this - check out this Tracker Guide!
​
- A Tracker is usually a journal/a piece of art to keep track of the collected experience points of your ARPG- character -
​
You'll need trackers for each individual character. It can be a journal, a scrap submission or a proper artwork.
We just advise you not to use the sta.sh as there have been problems both for the admins, as well as the users with it before.
All in all, there just needs to be some way for the admins to comment under it.
Organizing the Tracker
It is up to you how you organize your tracker and what you add to it, there are only a few things that have to be there:
You need a link to your Saliko's Import.
(can be a big thumbnail or just an URL, whatever you prefer)
​
One comment to link your Saliko's artwork/literature under
You don't need to add different comments for quests, activities, events, hunts etc - one comment for everything is fine! Every new submission will be linked under this one comment.
A comment for the Total EP of you Saliko
This is exclusively for the Admins to confirm your EP and new ranks.

Information for old Imports
If your Saliko has been uploaded prior to February 2016 it needs an Import Update and you'll also need one extra, separate comment to sum up all EP gained before the EP update
​​
New Tracker - Old EP - What now ?
If you adopted/bought/traded a Saliko which already has approved art or literature that has officially been added to his total count, please make a separate comment to sum up the already counted art with a link to the previous Tracker!
For example
If the previous owner deletes the tracker before you can get it re-approved you need to score everything again with the new EP rules, so make sure you do that right away!
Scoring
The scoring is almost the same as everywhere else.
Post a comment under your "Artwork/Literature" comment with the picture/literature in it and the
appropriate scoring. If you're not sure whether you're counting correctly, don't worry. The admins will help you and correct it if somethings wrong.
Your tracker and the new EPs will get confirmed/corrected as soon as you request a Rank Update
In order for the admins to have an easier time when checking the trackers, we'd appreciate it if you post EP checks at every new rank your Saliko reaches without skipping one, although it is possible to do so.
