Hello, members of Crysvalonia!
I'm here to announce a brand new currency and earning system.
We are converting to Shards, Clusters, and Jewels. What are Shards, Clusters, and Jewels? Allow me to break them down for you.
We have 3 types:
1 Red Shard = 50 points = $0.50 usd
1 Blue Cluster = 5 Red Shards = 250 points = $2.50 usd
1 Jewel = 2 Blue Clusters = 500 points = $5 usd
Shards, Clusters, and Jewels are the group currency - just like in the games! {it's a fake currency that can be earned via reading the following ways. People can use points and PayPal as well, but if you want the free road continue reading} - earned via drawing your character(s), NPCs, or other user's character(s). You may also earn Shards, Clusters, or Jewels from writing about your character(s), NPCs, or other user's character(s) with their permission!
Shards, Clusters, and Jewels are used in the shops within Crysvalonia, and may be traded or gifted to other users for things such as commissions and just generally being nice! Check out the shops to see what each one offers so you can know what to spend those Shards, Clusters, and Jewels on.
An admin will distribute Jewels, Clusters, and Shards to those who earn them by doing one or many of the following;
-Making an adopt (with permission, of course): 1 Jewel
-Buying an adopt: 30 Blue Clusters
-Join the website: See Yu Long's Item Shop to get your Signup Box!
-Participating in an auction, DTA, OTA, and/or a contest: 10 Red Shards (per entry)
-Drawing an existing Gemstone creature (yours or someone else's):

If you see any errors/missing amount, please inform Pure-Blue-Heart/species founder via DM!
Commissioned, Traded, and Gifted Art
Commissioned work will earn the artist who does the work HALF the amount of currency the original total would be. The owner of the gemstone creature will receive 1/4 of the total value of the currency it would award. This method also works in trades. This is an added perk to encourage people to commission others. If the commissioner wishes to gift the currency they may but they have to note me, Pure-Blue-Heart, so it can be recorded with some form of proof so the person commissioning doesn't place a false claim and gain currency that was never given. Only GIFT art of someone else's gemstone creature will earn you the full rewards.
