Quite a few things have happened almost over night for some of you on PMD! Members of the site that were available were able to help create and fix these two major updates;
- Exploration Team Ranking System
- Exclusive Items
First, i'll explain the Exploration Team Ranking and what was wrong with it.
It was noticed that the requirements for reaching the final rank were absurdly high, and that it was impossible to expect anyone to reach such a thing without dedicating themselves entirely to the site and missions for what could possibly be a whole two years. The following changes occurred:
New total points required for each rank and highest level of missions available:Grey Rank - 0 – F
White Rank - 50 – E
Bronze Rank – 200 – D
Silver Rank - 400 – B
Gold Rank – 900 – S
Platinum Rank – 2,000 - *0
Emerald Rank – 5,000 - *3
Diamond Rank – 11,000 - *5
Legendary Rank – 19,000 – XX
Master Rank – 29,000
New points rewarded for missions:F - 10
E - 15
D - 20
C - 30
B - 50
A - 75
S - 110
*0 - 300
*1 - 400
*2 - 500
*3 - 600
*4 - 700
*5 - 800
X - 900
XX - 1000
New minimum page requirements to complete missions:F - 2 Pages
E - 2 Pages
D - 3 Pages
C - 3 Pages
B - 4 Pages
A - 4 Pages
S - 5 Pages
* - 5 Pages
*0 - 6 Pages
*1 - 6 Pages
*2 - 7 Pages
*3 - 7 Pages
*4 - 8 Pages
*5 - 8 Pages
X - 9 Pages
XX - 9 Pages
Credit goes entirely to @Sova for finding a solution, and credit to
@FoxFireAlchemist and @Sova for finding the problem!
Another thing that occurred was the completion(somewhat) of the Exclusive Item's effects! A list of all of the exclusive items a pokemon from the regions Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh has been created in the rules along with their new effects that might even help you with the energy system! However, Unova and Kalos are not listed just yet due to their items not having been discovered. So crack open those boxes and see what you can find!
More information about the exclusive items can be found
>>HERE<< along with the rules for them!
Credit goes to
@FoxFireAlchemist,
@pokepikoo and
@BlueKat12 for assisting in creating the lists and their effects!
Well @Dracorexion and @Coaster3000 helped as well, but they were more concerned with looking at gifs than helping it seems
