Chapter 19
"What is this Vivian?"
"That is the medal containing your contribution points. You only get this when you get points. When you turn in potions, you receive a certain number of points depending on the quality of the potion. You can exchange the points for some resources, spells, techniques, recipes, and other such things to help you to survive the war. By the way, anything good costs at least 50 points."
"So you can get anything with contribution points?"
"Some of the more better items have other conditions to be fulfilled in order to get them. You can also get n.o.bility points when you do something that can effect the war in our favor. n.o.bility points are significantly harder get, but they can be used to get a n.o.ble t.i.tle and a territory, or can be exchanged for resources at a reduced rate. You can exchange contribution points for n.o.bility points, but it is a 100:1 conversion rate, and you need at least 50 n.o.bility points to get the knight t.i.tle."
"Thanks for the information, where can I exchange the points?"
Vivian then directed Sirius to the store, and he went on his way. When he got there, he was given a catalogue of what he could get. He was told that he had a catalogue that was better than those given to common soldiers due to his physique and his teacher. He flipped through it skimming what he could get.
'Vivian was right, all the decent stuff is at least worth 50 points. Even this vitality boosting potion that increases your vitality by.001 is worth 45 points. Seriously everything in here is way overpriced.'
After flipping around some more, Sirius found something interesting. He found a page of bloodlines that you exchange for.
Bloodlines:
Wind Wolf
Peak Tier: Official (early stage)
Description: Increases wind affinity and agility by 0.5. Can help one to increase their chances of becoming an official tier.
Cost: 250 contribution points
Water Snake
Peak Tier: Official (early stage)
Description: Increases water affinity, increases agility by 0.25, and perception by 0.003. Can increase ones chance of becoming an official tier.
Cost: 300 contribution points
Iron Monkey
Peak Tier: Official (mid stage)
Description: Increases strength and vitality by 1.0. Can increase ones chance of becoming an official tier.
Cost: 300 contribution points
'Figures, these bloodlines can only reach the official tier, but some of these additional effects are pretty good.'
After looking through the catalogue, Sirius developed a plan of what to get, and how many points he needed.
