"So you've picked out a familiar and ready to take it home? Have you read this guide yet?? Ah yeah the familiar system has changed my friend! Please give this a read!"
​

Ownership

​​Each Familiar has its own Official Log Page. This is where we'll track ownership, rewards, sales, etc for you. When you've bonded a familiar, a comment will appear on the page - that is your familiar log for that specific familiar. Once you've obtained one, no matter the method, it will appear in your bank! Next, we need to figure out how to bond!

Bonding

Current Limit: 5 bondings
​
Yay! You've got your first familiar, and you've picked out your horse! Now we'll move onto bonding.
The bonding process is easy-peasy. Once you've purchased your familiar (or won it, or gifted it), it will appear in your Bank Account over at The Royal Bank 
  • Please double check before bonding that it is actually in your account! Do not attempt to bond your familiar before it is your account!
  • Please keep a note of the bonding limit above. If you submit more than the current limit, all submissions over the limit will be declined and you will have to resubmit!
Next, make your way over to THIS COMMENT THREAD to fill out the following form:
      Familiar: [Fox, Cat, etc]
      Horse bonding to: [Nordanner ID AND NAME]
      Name: (if you want to give your familiar a name, this is where it goes. This is optional.)

And that's it on your part! Once the Stable Master bonds your familiar, you will see a comment with your name on it and all of the familiar's information. This will be the LOG for that specific familiar of yours. 
  • Please note: Only Nordanner admin may comment on the familiar logs. 

Now you can go ahead and start using your familiars! 

Trust

Current Limit: 5 submissions
​
In an uncertain world, trust is key. You may be Bonded, but now what?
Now, you earn your familiar's trust!
Drawing and working with your familiar will increase this stat. This is decided by RNG and effort on your part. That means 'Kaaring farms' squashing your familiar hastily into the frame aren't going to count for very much. Stories and quality images are going to produce more trust points.

There are three levels of Trust Difficulty (TD). Each Familiar type falls into one of three categories which are EASY, MEDIUM and HARD. The familiars that are listed as Easy will be easier to gain trust and less likely to lose trust. Each tier goes up in difficulty. Trust is random depending on effort and your familiar in general. Here is how the base is calculated:
Per each art entry:
EASY: 1-5 RNG points of trust, with a 3% chance at loss of trust
MEDIUM: 1-5 RNG points, with a 5% chance of loss
HARD: 1-5 RNG points, with a 10% chance of loss 
  • Currently, 100%  trust equals 100 points. This may change depending on actual use of this system. Once 100% is reached, your familiar is more likely to give you extra goodies. 
  • Selling a familiar damages trust. The trust bar will completely reset upon transfer to another player. 
  • Cat has a unique relationship with trust. If you've achieved 100%, you may transfer/sell her to another player or another horse. However, the reward-set you began with is now the maximum available. So if you resurrected a horse and received 5 slots, the most you can get upon transfer or sale is now 5 or fewer. She will not resurrect more than 2 horses total. Sales or transfers after that continue to deteriorate her bonuses. Continuous sales/transfers are not recommended.​

TD (Trust Difficulty) is a scale in which the Queen has measured how easy it is to earn trust with your familiar.
Okay, so now that we've explained how to get trust - now lets explain how to tally it up!
You will need to go to the Familiar log page and get your comment thread link. Once you have that, you need to scurry on over to THIS COMMENT THREAD and fill out the following form:
  • Familiar Thread Link: [Found on the Familiar's Log page]
  • [LINK TO IMAGE]​
    • There is maximum of one familiar and one image per comment. Once you've put in that form, you will wait for the Stable Master to judge your work - the Stable Master has a master list that has all of the information for each and every familiar that has come into their possession! Don't try and fool her! She will know if you're trying to roll an image twice!
    • Please keep a note of the submissions limit above. If you submit more than the current limit, all submissions over the limit will be declined and you will have to resubmit!

Once a familiars admin has tallied your trust, they will give you the TOTAL TRUST LEVEL of your familiar!
​They then will add your image and the trust points to the TRUST section of your familiar log, that way you can always go back and check which images got rolled and which didn't!

Transferring and Sales

​
Finding the perfect fit for your horse can be a hard one sometimes, and we respect that! We do allow you to unbond and sell your familiar freely, as you wish! (Unless the bonded familiar is a Cat, see below). However, do keep in mind that if you would like to unbond, the trust level you worked hard to gain will completely reset to zero. 

If you are sure you want to unbond your Familiar, you will need to make your way over to THIS COMMENT THREAD and fill out the following form:
   Familiar Thread Link: [Found on the Familiar's Log page]
   Horse unbonding from: [Nordanner ID AND NAME]​
After the familiar is unbonded, it will remain on its log - to bond to another horse, please follow rebonding steps!
  • Note familiars will NOT collect rewards during this period of unbonding.
If you are looking to sell your familiar, you would do so like any other item either through the nord-advertisements or the Pawnbroker in the-bazaar.​

Rebonding

​Once a familiar has been unbonded it may be rebonded to a new horse. In order to rebond you must reply to THIS COMMENT with the following form;
   Familiar: [Fox, Cat, etc]
   Familiar bonding thread link:[Found on the Familiar's Log page]
   Horse bonding to: [Nordanner ID AND NAME]

Once bonded to your horse your familiar will begin to give visits starting in the new year. Sadly, you won't have any visits until then!
  • Please note: Cats must have 100% Trust to be unbonded and rebonded, OR you must posses a Necromancer's Hand.
​
 Easy as that!
