TRIFORCE SHARDS
PLEASE READ THE RULES THROUGHLY
GENERAL
In order to understand how to level up properly, you must understand the use of Triforce Shards. -- Triforce shards are your primary source of magical power. In order to upgrade magical spells and equipment, you require a certain amount of shards.
All members will start with one triforce shard as of character approval, that they may choose to use for magic spells OR an inventory item.
Depending on the amount of shards that you have, and where you decide to put them, will determine what ranked magic you can use for each.
In order to use rare spells, you must have 2 shards.
In order to use legendary spells, you must have 3 shards.

BALANCING YOUR SHARDS
Triforce shards are a unique currency in which they are not taken away from you. You will be able to purchase items based on the actual number of shards you possess, while also spending rupees to have removed from your account.
This means that if you have 3 shards, you could purchase any item that requires UP TO three shards in the shop, providing you have the rupees to spend. Think of Triforce Shards as a level of power you possess, to be able to use certain items/ranks of magic.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAGIC EQUIPMENT AND SPELLS
Magic spells are created from the person, not the equipment. This means that you directly wear the Triforce shards on your person, or they are somehow infused with you. The magic you use is from the power of these shards within you, drawing from your mana pool.
Magic equipment are shards infused with a weapon, trinket, or piece of armor. The magic used from this equipment is drawn from the weapon, rather than the person. The more shards infused with the weapon, the higher rank of magic can be used for it.
You are as well able to infuse shards with your pets, which works in the same sense as equipment.
The amount of shards you can obtain is unlimited.
Please note that you must still purchase upgrades with rupees in order to officially upgrade your items.

WAYS TO OBTAIN SHARDS
DUNGEONS
The easiest way to obtain shards is to dungeon crawl. Going into dungeons with a party and defeating a boss is the easiest way to obtain loot and magic items, such as shards. The higher rank the dungeon, the bigger chance you have of obtaining more shards. The higher level you are, the lower the dungeon level, the less likely it will drop a shard.
Dungeon loot is not guaranteed to drop shards. Drops are decided by staff of the site, and are primarily decided based on the quality and length of your thread. Do not get discouraged though! Joining an official guild will help improve your chances of Shard Drops. This is because we encourage members to choose an alliance and work together.
PVP
Another way to obtain Triforce Shards is by PVP. You can fight other players to test your might. Remember that this site IS story based for the most part, so Player Killing is prohibited unless permission is given. You are, however, allowed to gamble shards with other players in PVP combat - or if you DO choose to take part in a PK fight, you can pick up their shards.
If a player that is killed possesses a Fairy in a Bottle, it must be made known to the other player. This is because, if you are fighting for shards, and a player dies and uses a fairy, they are able to get away unscathed. If you decide to take part in a PK fight, and they are okay with you using a fairy, they are able to take one shard from you from your total.
EVENTS
You are able to obtain shards by taking part in site wide events. Because they are a large part in the site plot, players taking part in it will receive prizes for taking part in it!
MISSIONS
While this is a bit rare, taking part in missions that are particularly hard, or have a boss present could result in receiving a shard as a reward in the end. The larger the party, the lower the chance of receiving one.
BECOMING AN OTM
If you are chosen as a character/couple/thread OTM, you and other parties involved will receive a shard each! In order to become an OTM, you simply just become active, especially with other members. Making friends (or enemies) is key in getting your name known. At the end of each month, we will hold a poll to choose who wins. Chosen candidates will be decided by staff.
Taking part in dungeons and missions with other party members does not effect how many shards you receive. If the reward for the boss defeat claims that the party has won a shard, that means that each party member has won ONE shard.
