Artist Ranks
When you join Starlight TCG, you begin at Level 1 (the "Citizen" rank) and work your way up through the Artist Ranks by collecting cards! We use your card worth for level up requirements so once you reach the minimum number of cards needed for a rank (see table below), you can claim your reward for reaching it through your member panel.You will notice that each rank has an assigned "Reward Tier" - as you move up to higher levels, you will receive better rewards. Each tier has a 2-3 ranks assigned to it so levelling up to any of the ranks under a specific tier, will earn you that tier's reward! See the Rewards header after the table below to see what rewards each tier gives, and make sure you use the correct form for the reward tier you need (as each tier has its own reward form).

LEGENDARY ARTISTSWhile there is a row for a "Level 14" in the table above called "Royalties", please note that this is not an actual rank; Starlight's ranks only go up to and include Level 13! Our Members List will also only display thirteen levels.This is just what the bonus rewards are referred to as, which we implemented so that a player can still receive rewards for continuously collecting cards in the TCG even after reaching the actual final level (Legendary Artist). After reaching said rank, you will no longer change ranks in name but you can still collect what we call Royalties (used interchanably with "Royalty Reward") which you can claim every 1000 cards you collect! The table above does, however, list the minimum card worth requirement that players at the Legendary Artist rank need to meet in order to claim their first set of royalties. As such: you need 5000+ cards to level up to "Legendary Artist" after reaching "1st Generation Artist" then from there your card worth's total must be at least 6000 cards to unlock royalties. After that, you can claim another set of rewards once you have at least 7000 cards, then at 8000 cards, and so on! Like regular level up rewards, you also claim royalty rewards through your member panel but through the specifically designated form; please make sure you're filling out the correct form to receive the correct rewards!! | REWARD TIERSAs the difference between some ranks increases, rewards will vary depending on what rank you're levelling up to. The table below outlines what each tier will reward you with when levelling up to a rank in that tier! Rewards are per level/rank.

CUSTOM RANK BADGES
In addition to the rewards mentioned before, all level ups also come with a free custom rank badge made just for you!
(Above badges are from 1.0 and may not represent those members' current badges!)
Players will first need to level up on the site, then apply for their custom badge on the Artist Rank Ups sub-forum afterwards. If you need a pending/filler badge while you wait for it to be made, you can use the ones below!
For the time being, players cannot request replacements for their rank badges once made and approved by the player, aside from typos or errors that can be fixed at any time. However, once you reach Legendary Artist, they can be purchased from the Star Shop via a rankbadgecoupon!
These coupons must then be redeemed on the forums, in the same thread you originally made for requesting new rank badges. Replacement badges can be made for ANY previous rank, if you ever decide to change up images for whatever reason!
