Earning treats and participating in the arpg
Puppillars is an ARPG (Art Roleplaying Game), where members can participate in prompts, activities, and events in order to earn group currencies and items! All art or writing you create of any Puppillars characters is eligible to earn treats, and by submitting it to our gallery, you will be given treats depending on the type of art. Members may also earn treats by doing Dailies. At various times, there will be activities or events going on that might award bonus treats or special items!
Treats can be used to purchase various items, such as accessories or companions, from our shops, and can even be used to buy rarer items like MYO slots and trait changing items! There are many items on our site, some which have a function, or some that are just fun to collect!
submitting to the gallery
All art for our ARPG can be submitted to our gallery to be directly displayed on our site! Treat distribution goes through this as well, so submitting your puppillars art of any kind is required in order to earn the treat for the art!

Submitting prompts and claims
The main methods of participating in activities are submitting prompts and claims to the website, the main difference being that prompts are submitted under a specific prompt, which are created for this purpose, and claims are for a more generalized submission. Anything requiring a submission will always specify which to do.
Examples of Prompt Submissions: Event Prompts, Adventuring, and anything with specific art requirements
Examples of Claim Submissions: Getting a Award, using an item, requesting an item (with proof of where you earned it)
You can submit a prompt with a gallery component at any time, even before the gallery submission is accepted, you can always find all your gallery submissions (both pending and accepted!) at the My Submission Queue at the gallery!
Claims can be submitted any time, as long as you are eligible for what you are claiming!
