Items

Items are dynamic rewards for your community. Whether created as Trophies, Stats, or Effects, Items live in each user’s inventory and can be displayed on their profile. Unlike Achievements, Items can level up, carry XP rewards or penalties, and evolve alongside your participants, making them perfect for everything from participation rewards to complex quest gameplay.

Important

Creating, linking, and awarding Items requires an Owner or Treasurer role in your Organization.

Creating an Item

To create an Item, navigate to the Rewards section of your Organization Hub, select Create and pick New Item from the dropdown.

Item Details

Item Type

Trophy	an award which the user has earned
Stat	tracks a stat for the user, such as life points
Effect	an ability that a user can apply, such as a power boost

Name	what the item is called, shown in lists and profiles
Description	optional details describing what the item is

Badge image	shows up on linked event pages and in a user’s profile
Card image	shows up when the item is viewed in full size and detail

Item image dimensions are 1:1 (square), with a minimum of 300x300 px

Point Amounts

Point Amounts control how many points can be given to the user when the Item is added to their inventory or powered up, and how many points can be taken away if using the Item has a cost. These values set the range of the XP slider when awarding or penalizing users with this Item.

Minimum Points	The fewest points that can be given or taken away when adjusting this Item
Maximum Points	The most points that can be given or taken away when adjusting this Item

Tip

You can set Minimum Points and Maximum Points to the same number to allow only a specific number of points to be given or taken away. This will be less dynamic, but more consistent depending on what you wish to do with the item.

Managing Items

Existing Items can be managed from the Items view of the Rewards section.

Edit	Change the Item’s details, such as its name, description, images, or point amounts.
Duplicate	Create a copy of the Item to use as a starting point for a new one.
Archive	Retire an Item that is no longer in use. Archived Items can be viewed by toggling Show Archived, and can be restored by selecting Unarchive.

Linking Items to Events

Navigate to the Rewards tab of the Event Management section of the Event you want to link the Reward to. Choose the proper Reward (Achievement or Item) and select Link Existing. Owners and Treasurers can also select the Create Item button if they still need to create a Reward from scratch.

Linked Items can be dragged to change the order they appear on the event page. From the event’s Rewards tab, you can also Unlink an Item from the event, or select Adjust User Inventories to award or penalize users directly from the event view.

Linked Rewards will show up in the Event, next to the Details information tab.

Awarding and Adjusting Items

Navigate to the Rewards section of your Organization Hub and select the Adjust User Inventories button from the Items view. All Item types are adjusted the same way.

At the top of the Adjust User Inventories window, choose whether the adjustment is a Reward or a Penalty. Rewards give levels and XP to the selected users, while Penalties decrease levels and take away XP.

Adjustment Settings

Level	Specify the desired level for the Item in users’ inventories. Choose Increase By (Reward) or Decrease By (Penalty) to change the level by a relative amount, or Set To to set the Item’s level to a specific number, then enter the value
XP Reward (Reward only)	Choose how much XP to transfer from your organization to the users whose inventories are being adjusted. The slider’s range is set by the Item’s Minimum and Maximum Points
XP Penalty (Penalty only)	Choose how much XP to redeem (burn) from the users whose inventories are being adjusted. The slider’s range is set by the Item’s Minimum and Maximum Points
Select Event	Optionally pick an event which the users attended
Select Users	Pick users whose inventory for this Item needs adjustment by searching for their username. If you selected an Event, you can also select Import Event Attendees to add everyone who attended the selected event

Important

A Penalty adjustment will fail if any selected user does not have enough XP for the penalty.

Your organization’s Current XP Balance is shown at the bottom of the window so you can confirm you have enough XP to cover the reward. When everything is set, select Adjust to apply the changes to all selected users.

Items in User Profiles

Users can pin their acquired Items in their Profile to showcase the trophies, stats, or effects they have.
