Earning Coins

Coins are the basic currency used around crederia: golden coins with a diamond shaped hole which is often used to thread coins together for easy transportation in small amounts. You can earn Coins by completing prompts or participating in events on-site or in the discord! Currently, you may use coins to purchase MYOs, Trait upgrades, Design editing items, and pets called Cridders!

The game is still being balanced so coin amounts are subject to increase or decrease. 

❗ Submitting a unique drawn or written piece to the appropriate gallery will award you with 1 Coin! This includes any submitted prompts, gifts, or general artwork of your crederians drawn by you! 

Each entry into  a prompt will have a base payout of 5  Coins. This is for your standard character in full color, sometimes with a simple environment.

• At least 50% of your character should visible in its environment. Fun partial crops or environment hiding part of the character is alright as long as we can see most of the character. 
• Standard backgrounds may be simply rendered, and can be depicted as platforms rather than full illustrations.
• Baby prompts and other special prompts are excluded from this guide and will have their coin amounts listed in the prompt itself.

Examples:
