There's a great many things you can do on the site once your account is all set up! Here's a quick rundown of everything you need to know!

Under "Home" Tab

My Characters

You can find your Ketucari here!

There's an "Edit profile" button under their image if you want to change any of their details, such as name, pronouns, gift art permissions, character bio, and so on.

To the left of the Ketucari, you'll see a menu - most of these options aren't heavily used in our site (if you've added your character to any prompts, you can see them under "Submissions", and the Ownership Log/Change Log is available if you need them.). You can transfer your Ketucari to another user with the Update Ownership button under Settings!

Inventory

This link will show you all your items. If you click on an item, you will receive a pop-up window where you can do the following:

  • Click the checkbox next to the item and select a quantity, which will allow you to either:
    • Transfer the specified quantity to a user (it is recommended that you not transfer items to other users this way if you are expecting something in return. This is what trades are for, which we will cover later on!)
    • Delete the specified quantity (there is currently no reason to do this, but the option is there if you so desire!). Keep in mind that you may also sell unwanted items for gold via our dA site.
  • Click the image or name of the item to be taken to its Encyclopedia entry, which will tell you what the item does.
  • Loot boxes such as goodie bags and treasure chests may be opened from your inventory. Contents will be automatically added to your inventory, but if you want to see exactly what you received, you may do so by visiting "Item Logs" and "Currency Logs" on your profile.
     

Bank

This link will show you all of your currencies. You may complete a one-way transfer of currency from this page, as well. Again, it is recommended that you not transfer items to other users this way if you are expecting something in return.

Under "Activity" Tab

Prompt Submissions

This is where you can submit Adventures, Quests, Skill Unlocks, Battles, and request Prize Packs if you haven't already redeemed them! For all of these things, click the "New Submission" button and then follow the directions below.

For art/lit prompts, you can reference the Minimum Art Requirements guide - this guide also lists how many pieces you can submit per day.
For activity sheets/comics/long literature/anthologies and vignettes see the Bulk Rolls guide - this guide also explains how to submit these pieces.

If submitting from Toyhouse, please use the link button next to "Details", rather than just the link you get from clicking immediately from gallery. The latter can cause problems when there is a warning applied to the gallery.

MIXED Prompt Submissions

As of 2/22/2022, you can now mix and match rolls within a single piece! This means you can have one ketucari roll as a quest, another as an adventure, and another as a skill, and yet another as a battle if you wanted! There are two major caveats however:

  1. KVK is excluded from mix roll types at this time since it requires two participating ketucari.
  2. A maximum of 4 ketucari per piece can roll

We also ask that when submitting mixed rolls, you indicate in each submission which ketucari are rolling as what. A visual example will be made Soon:TM:

Bulk Submissions

As of 8/17/2022 you no longer need to break activities into pieces to roll them. See Bulk Rolls for more information.

For Quests

  1. Type and/or select the name of the quest you wish to submit in the "Prompt" field.
  2. Paste the link to your image in the "Submission URL" field. There is no need to include the old quest form in your submission. If your quest has a Honor/Notoriety option, list which route you've taken. List whether or not your Ketucari is learning a skill from this quest - learning a skill is optional.
  3. Link the ketucari/companion race character you are submitting the quest for in the "Comments" field. Please link both the Ketucari.com import and the deviantArt import (Example: https://ketucari.com/character/ST-001 | https://www.deviantart.com/umbrafen/art/Kaur-01-573616708 )
  4. PLEASE NOTE: You must create a separate submission for each character in the image.
  5. You may ignore the "Rewards" and "Characters" sections.

For Skill Unlocks

  1. Type and/or select the name of the skill you wish to submit in the "Prompt" field.
  2. Paste the link to your image in the "Submission URL" field. There is no need to include the old skill form in your submission.

For Crafting

Transmutation Reference

  1. Type and/or select "Crafting Request" in the "Prompt" field.

  4. Select all items relevant to your crafting request. You can filter to "Selected Items" to make sure you've added everything!
  5. Add the item you're crafting in the Rewards section! You can ignore this if you're crafting a potion or armor set, as these will be granted manually due to their custom stats.
  6. Attach the ketucari who has unlocked the crafting profession in question in the Characters section.
  7. Hit submit! 
  8. Please submit a maximum of 5 crafted items per prompt. If you are crafting custom items (potions and armor), please list which of your add-ons are going to which items.

For Prize Packs (Newbie Packs, Site Welcome Packs, etc.)

This page shows Ketucari that have been transferred to you or Ketucari that you have transferred to other players. You can confirm transfers here under the incoming and outgoing tabs.

Trades

This allows you to conduct two-way trades with other users! This part of the site is pretty straightforward. 

For items, be sure to click the checkbox next to the item you wish to trade and specify the amount.

For currency, click "Add Currency" and select which and how much of the currency you wish to send.

Once your trade request has been sent, you will need to confirm your half of the trade. Once your trade partner has responded with and confirmed their half of the trade, you will both need to hit "Confirm Trade" at the bottom of the trade window to finalize it.
