DB:Experience Points

Experience Points (EXP) are awarded to members of the Secret Order for performing activity, earning awards, participating in competitions, and more. They are used for earning promotions and unlocking different abilities.

Members can check their current experience point totals at the Experience Point Tracker (if logged into multiple Google Accounts, use different browser or incognito window to access tracker)

Background

Experience points were introduced as part of the Path system, giving members of the Secret Order a tangible reward that they could, in turn, use for unlocking different abilities and powers. By earning EXP, members are able to gain additional powers and abilities, building and forming their character as they progress in the Secret Order.

Experience points also, in turn, are used to help determine when members of the Secret Order are eligible for certain rank promotions. They are also used as a criteria for helping determine what merit awards should be awarded to members at each regular review cadence.

Experience Award Charts

The following sections break down the amount of experience points awarded to members, based on certain activities. Please note that these charts are not comprehensive, and that experience points may be awarded for other activities not listed here at the discretion of the Dark Council (for example: specific competitions have unique experience point rewards).

All EXP values listed below are subject to change at any time, based on the decisions of the Dark Council.

These EXP charts represent common activity scenarios and are intended to provide guidance to members who are interested in how to earn EXP as part of the Secret Order.

Art and Fiction EXP

All Art and Fiction submissions are awarded EXP by the Herald based on the following rubric, for a minimum of 0 EXP to a maximum of 250 EXP.

Criteria	0 Point	1 Point	2 Points	3 Points	4 Points	5 Points
Relevance (10%)	Work has no relation to the prompt or the Secret Order	Work shows little, if any, relation to prompt or Secret Order	Work shows some faithfulness to prompt or Secret Order	Work is faithful to prompt/Secret Order but does little to further develop the idea	Work is faithful to the prompt/Secret Order and provides some development	Work is completely faithful to prompt/Secret Order
Quality (30%)	Work is notably poor/incomprehensible	Work is lacking refinement and contains noticeable error	Work shows some evidence of refinement, but errors are still present	Work has been produced to an acceptable standard without errors	Work has been produced to a good standard, demonstrating a finished piece with only some further refinement needed	Work has been produced to an excellent standard and demonstrates a refined and finished piece
Complexity (50%)	Work appears to have been done without any effort	Work is simplistic and could be completed in minimal time or effort	Work is simplistic, and could be completed with little time or effort	Work demonstrates average complexity and time investiture	Work is a complex piece, requiring some time commitment to complete	Work is a complex piece, requiring a major time commitment to complete
Creativity (10%)	Work is exceptionally derivative	Work has little to no original content	Work has some original content, but relies on past ideas to function	Work demonstrates some original content, with some building on past works to develop ideas	Work demonstrates use of original content to builds upon and further develop past works	The work demonstrates use of original characters, plot devices, and events throughout

EXP is then calculated using the following formula, providing an amount somewhere between 0 EXP and 250 EXP.

((50 * Complexity Points) + (30 * Quality points) + (10 * Creativity Points) + (10 * Relevance Points)) / 5
