Ranking Up System

Ranks consist of five stages, being D, C, B, A and S. In order to increase your character's rank, you need to first gain Rank Points which you can expend on Ranking Up.

• D-rank to C-rank: 20 Rank Points.
  
• C-rank to B-rank: 30 Rank Points.
  
• B-rank to A-rank: 75 Rank Points.
  
• A-rank to S-rank: 150 Rank Points.
  

Note: These rates may change if staff find them easily-gained and rank-ups may be denied/de-ranked though they will be refunded.

Each time your character ranks up, the Rank Points will be deducted from your character.

Your character may only rank up once a week.

Missions reward the following Rank Points:

• D-rank: 1 Point.
  
• C-rank: 2 Points.
  
• B-rank: 4 Points.
  
• A-rank: 6 Points.
  
• S-rank: 10 Points.
  

Killing another character (PC or Staff NPC, not NPC) will reward you with Rank Points according to the character's rank:

• D-rank: 15 Points.
  
• C-rank: 25 Points.
  
• B-rank: 35 Points.
  
• A-rank: 40 Points.
  
• S-rank: 50 Points.
  
• Clan Leader/S-rank Jinchuriki: 70 Points.
  

Upon ranking up you will receive a set amount of stats as well as 2 Skill Points. The following is a list of Ranks and their respective stat gains upon ranking up. Ranking up from D-rank to C-rank gains you 3 Skill Points. Those ranking up from D-rank to X-rank will gain +3 skill points throughout.

• D-rank to C-rank: 130 Stats.
  
• C-rank to B-rank: 110 Stats. [+130 Stats-D-B-rank]
  
• B-rank to A-rank: 110 Stats. [+140 Stats-D-A-rank]
  
• A-rank to S-rank: 110 Stats. [+150 Stats-D-S-rank]
  

As you can see, when compared to starting stats, you will end up with more stats (aside from stats gained through development Exp) if you start at a lower rank, than if you start at a higher rank.

Once you've acquired enough Rank Points you may post an update in your own updates requesting a rank up. Once it is approved, the Rank Points will be deducted from your total. Inside this update post you should state where you will be placing your Stats and Skill Points.
