{ Tutorial for New & Returning Players }
Welcome! This is a guide for both new and returning players, so that you can get acquainted with the ARPG, its lore, and how to play in it! These are the basics, but with the community and admin team, you'll be able to get more familiar with all parts of the ARPG in no time!
Learning about Mime Dogs and Sympan
Mime Dogs are small, social mammals that develop unique appearances as they grow, each one acquiring their special look based on the experiences they go through in their life.
Because of this, no Mime Dog looks the same— not even those born together.
You can learn more about them, and the beautiful world of Sympan, in the pages below!

Obtaining your First Mime Dog
You can obtain your first Mime Dog through an array of different methods!
You may look through the Adoption Center to take someone await a new home; you may purchase a MYO Ticket with Mimoles ( in-game currency ) or USD to design your own Mime Dog from scratch; you may obtain Mime Dogs from ongoing game events; or you may even find MYO Tickets through Guild Quests!
For beginners, we recommend checking the Adoption Center; earning Mimoles to purchase your first MYO Ticket; or participating in the Guild with an NPC to earn a MYO Ticket!

Designing your First Mime Dog
Designing a Mime Dog is an easy task!
Mime Dogs have a big variety of physical traits, and MYO Tickets have a specified rarity.
Your MYO Ticket will state a rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, or Ultra Rare!
This rarity means that all traits you pick must be of that rarity, or of a lower rarity; a trait's rarity cannot surpass the Ticket's.
As for colors and patterns; you can do as you please! Of course, there's a Design Guide in place to help you understand what is and isn't allowed.
Mutations, on the other hand, require a "Mutation Add-On" to be applied. These have their own guides as well!

Getting your First Mime Dog Approved for the Game!
Once your Mime Dog has been designed, it needs to be checked by the game's Design Admins, and approved for you to begin playing!
The Approval process is simple: you create a character draft on an image-host of your choice ( e.g. Sta.sh ), and add the Import Information Template to its text description! There's a small guide to help you step by step.
If you receive a correction ( i.e. the Design Admin asked you to edit something in the design ), make sure you fix it, and repeat the process through the Corrections Queue instead!

Understanding Art & Mimoles
Mimoles are a fictional player-bound currency. It's obtained each time you draw any Mime Dog, it doesn't need to be your own!
Mimoles are used by players to purchase things like MYO Tickets, Background Packs, and other helpful items.
The amount of Mimoles an art piece obtains depends on what kind of criteria the art piece falls under. For example, an uncolored bust shot will earn 1 Mimole, whereas a colored full body will earn 4 Mimoles. It does not depend on the subjective technique "level" of the art, it only needs to show that you're putting your own effort into it!
To submit any art piece to obtain Mimoles, go to the Mimole Exchanger.
To beginners who don't have a Mime Dog of their own yet, we recommend using Mascots or NPCs ( like Latte ) to earn some Mimoles for yourself!

Playing - The Mime Guild
Congratulations for your approved Mime Dog! Once it's been uploaded to your profile's characters tab, you'll be able to play in different activities and game events with it!
The activity we'll be using for the tutorial is the Mime Guild. The Guild is a prestigious organization founded by Mime Dogs after the species started evolving towards more social and civilization-focused behaviors. It works as a big team network, where Mime Dogs from all over Sympan obtain the support to explore and learn more about the world, while aiding others in return.
Being part of the Guild is by no means necessary for a Mime Dog to enjoy life, but it's become a rite of passage for many.
Once a Guild member, a Mime Dog can participate in quests, cries for help, and explorations, and will be able to keep a journal of their findings, broadening their knowledge of the world day by day.
To join the Guild, a Mime Dog must fulfill their Guild Initiation.
A Guild Initiation consists of an art piece that depicts the Mime Dog proving their determination and skill. This piece would need to follow the Guild's specified art criteria, and would need to be submitted to the Guild queue to be judged by an admin! Once it's approved, the Mime Dog becomes a Guild member, and is allowed to participate in Guild Quests.
To beginners, we recommend starting your game by initiating your Mime Dog to the Guild, as it unlocks Guild Quests, and gives you an idea of how art works into the game!
Don't forget to submit your art to the Mimoles Exchanger to get Mimoles!

Shops, Crafting, & Other Activities
Once you begin playing, you'll earn items, Mimoles, and maybe even some Crowns!
Crowns (Cr.) are Sympan's currency, so it's useful to have to spend on materials you need. Crowns are to the world of Sympan what Mimoles are to the ARPG's players!
Once you have enough, you'll be able to do any of these three:
Use items for Crafting useful materials
Use Mimoles for purchasing things from the Mimole Shop
Use Cr for purchasing things from the Crown Shop
To craft items, you'll need to have the items needed for the recipe you want. Recipes can be found and made at the Crafting Queue and the Rainbow Restaurant Queue.
These items can then be used in other activities! You may craft items that are helpful during Guild Quests, craft healthy soil or other items for your Garden, or even make delicious food to help your Mime Dog! You could even trade with other players, if you have something they need and they offer something you want.
How you use your items is up to you, go have fun, enjoy the game!
