October AC

Here are the requirements for October's AC, which will be due by October 20th, 11:59PM EST.

Base AC: A check-in comment under your AC toplevel
Bonus AC: Half AC of 10 comments across 2 threads OR a three to four line write-up outlining your character's arc throughout Link Up.

Submitting both base and bonus AC will give you an AC boon of a random battle recovery item (i.e. Full Heal or Status Recovery) once we have verified your bonus AC.

Rank 10 Social Links

We are now allowing for rank 10 social links to be submitted - please follow the guidelines as listed on the rewards page to redeem your custom duo spell! We are accepting Rank 10 Social Link submissions until October 20th, 11:59PM EST.

Planning for Endgame

As mentioned, we are planning for endgame and trying to prepare as much as we can to make it a fun experience for everyone! However, we need your help to do so:

• IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Please make sure you are available to at least tag around during endgame week (10/26-11/2). You don't need to be around for the entirety of endgame as it will run through the entire week, but we will be tailoring some content to fit everyone's characters for the final phase of the game. If you believe there may be issues with your availability, please let us know so we can take that into account.
  
  
• Please comment to this entry no later than 11:59pm EST October 20th and rank these three districts in order of preference, based on which is most relevant to your character:
  
  1. Fashion
     
  2. Shopping
     
  3. Entertainment
  
  This comment will also serve as your acknowledgement that you have read and understood the contents of this post. No comment means that we will assume you will not be present for endgame and will not include your character in the tailored content.
