Activities
What is an Activity?
Activities, or “ARs", are one of the main things to do in Rexalia! They can be written or drawn, and have specific requirements you must meet for your character to get a “roll.”
- “AR” is shorthand for activity roll (ex. “I have drawn a scouting AR of Pamphilos”). It refers to the “loot”–also known as in-game items–generated from a successful activity. An AR generally refers to one rexal’s loot.
- Activities get your rex a loot roll and MP! Both will be processed at the same time, so you only need to submit once.
- After reading this page, you can explore the other three tabs to look at the requirements for each activity and location.
"THIS ALL SOUNDS SUPER AWESOME, BUT HOW DO I DO AN ACTIVITY?

ARs are submitted in two stages: making the piece, and submitting it. Click the tabs below to learn more! |
Creating an AR
Overview
For ARs, you will create a piece of artwork or writing of your (or someone else’s) rex, performing a specific activity (task) in a certain location. Here’s the gist of it:
- Before creating an AR, please review our Art and MP Requirements page if you have not already done so.
- Each activity type and location has rules you must follow to meet our minimum requirements.
- Only rex who are participating in the activity are eligible for a roll. Simply being in the scene does not count!
- There are 3 activity categories Scouting, Drudgery, and Healing. Healing is only for injured rexals and those assisting them.and several locations. Please check their respective pages to see which activities can be performed in what locations!
- Up to 3 rex Up to 4 rex can be rolled if one is "Divine" rank.can be rolled in the same submission.
Submitting an AR
Overview
Now that you've made your piece, it's time for submission... and sweet, sweet loot! You must submit your AR to the queue so our moderators can process it. This is very easy with our handy dandy MP Counter!
- For each participating rex that you own, If you depict two of your rex in a submission, you need to submit two "cards" on the MP counter. Please fill out each form only for one rex, and not as a grouped count.individually fill out the form on the MP counter. Please pay close attention to the descriptions in each category!
- Once your card is up next in the queue, your rex will then get a “roll” to determine what loot (items!) they bring back from their activity!
- Once your activity is rolled, you will get a message in your communications Your communications tab can be found on your profile. This is where moderators will communicate with you about your submissions!from the mod who processed it, informing you of your loot!
Safe vs. Risky Routes
You've picked your location, but how is your Rex behaving during their activity? They might choose to take the path less traveled, or stick to the beaten path. This is known as a risky or safe route.
- Safe routes: "The careful type, you'll make sure to prepare accordingly..." Default item and injury chance. There's comfort in consistency!
- Risky routes: "Your lack of provisions leaves more room in your pack for loot-- if you live long enough to drag it home..." High risk, high reward! You get +1 item per roll (guaranteed), but increased injury chance!
But wait, there's more!
While this guide has covered the basics of creating and submitting an AR, there are a few other things that may be helpful to know! Please read through this section if you are confused on anything previously mentioned.
Corrections / Communications
If you don’t meet all the requirements for your activity or miscount your MP, you may be issued a recount or correction in your communications. But what do these things mean?
- What is a recount?: If your MP count was too low or high but the piece otherwise meets AR requirements, then our moderators will update your MP automatically when processing your submission! Your loot will still be rolled, and you will be informed of any changes made. Unfortunately due to practical concerns, we do not allow players to update and resubmit an approved card for more MP.
- What is a correction?: Corrections are issued when your piece did not meet all of our AR requirements, and needs to be updated before it can be rolled. Our moderators will tell you what is "wrong" and suggest some ways to fix it!
Overview
Scouting is all about exploring the natural world of Rexalia! Your rex might be exploring an abandoned mine, enjoying a sunset view, or hiking along a mountain stream. But they better be mindful of where they are going - some places are safer than others...

The Posian Trench
LORE PAGE COMING SOON- The Posian Trench ranges from depths of 20,000ft-30,000ft. The water pressure is immense!
- Sunlight cannot penetrate this deep--there are no plants, only chemosynthetic bacteria and other organisms that can survive the extreme conditions.
- The deepest parts of the trench feature giant, glowing bones with strange, crystalline growths.
- It's not uncommon to find sunken structures and ruins; weirdly shapen pyramids, strange temples, harsh-cut shafts that look like they came from heavy machinery, and so on.
- The following items can be found via Scouting in the Trench: ITEM LIST
CAREFUL, THERE'S DANGER!
The Trench has many levels that lead down deeper into pitch black waters. You can find many things here that are related to the deep sea and sometimes even treasures that you can bring home for inspection. However, swimming takes time and you only have so much air in your lungs. For that, you will have to use magic or let someone else help you with theirs.

The Posian Trench is based on the Marinara Trench. Check this pinterest board for inspiration:

Overview
Drudgery is an activity where your rex interacts with Rexal society. It does not need to be a bustling city centre but there must be clear evidence of Rexal habitation - even a regional farm will have artificial creations such as fences, roads, troughs, tools, and/or plantations!
Your rex must be interacting with someone or something. This could be an object like a broom or hammer, or an animal like a wolf or deer. Your Rexal can be interacting with another Rexal in an educational or caregiving role provided the other Rex is not being rolled for the drudgery as well. For convenience we will term these "tools".

Overview
The world outside the Dome is dangerous.. wild.. tainted. To survive you must adapt and overcome. The unwary and unprepared will fall victim to the perils of Rexalia.. or its denizens.
When completing ARs in Dangerous Locations, there is a chance that your rexal will become injured. An injured Rexal will have their neck plate marked so that other Rexal know they are in need of help, and their injury will be listed on the Information tab of their rexalia.world profile.
Injured rex who heal via an activity will receive x1 Charmed Bandages, while those assisting them will receive a separate loot roll.
An injured rexal cannot participate in ARs until their injury is healed. Please note that ARs posted to the queue before the injury are still eligible to be rolled before healing.
Click here to Submit your entry
There are two ways to heal your injured rex:
- 1. Purchase or craft a Herbal Tea to use on your rex
- 2. Submit an activity depicting your rex recovering.
Non-injured rex may participate to heal others!
