Credits and Resources.

Credits: Credits are BNG's main currency, and can be used to buy items, companions, and other similar things. While ICly the main currency in BG is also credits, please note that how many OOC credits a character has does not equal how many IC credits a character has, as credits in the OOC sense are accumulated via events and RPing rather than specific acts a character does within RP. For every graded thread, a character will get a set amount of SP and credits determined by the thread's length and overall quality compared to a player's other works.

Along with items and companions, which are covered in their own threads, characters may also purchase TP for themselves and their companions using credits. Every TP point costs 5,000 credits, which cannot be reduced by discounts or anything else. A character's or companion's purchased TP cannot exceed their earned TP, which means they can at most purchase the amount of TP they already have. A character can also only purchase 2 TP for themselves and 1 for their companions (3 total) per month.

Bonus Credits: As your character gets stronger, they will have to use more powerful items to truly take advantage of their stats. Because of this, for every 50 SP a character earns they will get a 10% bonus to any credits they earn, capping at 100% additional credits with 500 SP earned. Note that some sources will be labelled as non-bonusable, especially certain events. With bonused credits, be sure to record the non-bonused totals you also have, so a character's credits should look like Current Credits/Total Credits [Non-bonused Credits].

Credit Transfers: Credits can be transferred from one character to another via modification. A character can receive up to 100,000 credits per month, however they can only ever receive 100,000 credits from other characters of the same account. To submit a transfer, simply post that you want one and submit the coding change of your character (or characters if it's individual) and then have the other member of the transfer (if there is any) submit their character's modified coding.

Harvests

Has your character died, or perhaps you've just gotten sick of them and want to start over? Fear not, for all the progress you've put into collecting SP and credits won't go to waste. Every 3 months, you may harvest a character's resources and transfer them to a new character. This also includes the rights to buy back all the TP you have bought so you don't have to wait several months to do so. Note that anything designated as non-harvestable in a character's sources will not be able to be carried over to a new character.
