What can I do in Mwitu Valley?
Once you know how to roleplay, there are plenty of things to do. Of course you must join first, and be accepted. Then starts the adventure...
Your character can make friends, join a pack, pride, or a group of its species. It can also find a mate, and breed in spring. If your character is strong, actively participates in activities, and your roleplay is good and creative, you can gain ranks and giftings. You can also fight with other creatures to gain levels. Two levels will be given for battles at the death cliff. (Provided the character wins, lol) At some levels, you can gain some powerfullevel giftings. Another way to earn giftings and items, as well as strengthen then, is by referring your friends to Mwitu Valley.

How do I earn giftings and levels?
There are four ways to earn giftings, and three to gain items-
1. Increasing your rank. (giftings only)
2. Battling well with a stronger animal (both)
3.Referring your friends (both)
4. Finding them on the ground (both)
Elemental and single-character giftings can only be given by alphas, when your character has performed a deserving deed.
Level giftings must be gained by earning a number of levels, which can be done by winning battles.

How do I battle?
Your character might want to learn from a more experienced battler before attempting a fight.
Before you start the actual battle, you must decide a few things with your opponent.
OOCly, you have to settle the rules, which are usually no powerplaying or godmoding, as well as the mode of battle: Autohit, Non-Autohit, or None.
In autohit, Player B cannot dodge Player A's attack. However the attacking player cannot always be on target, as it would be considered Godmoding. The attacking player must also describe where the attack was aimed.
In Non-Autohit, Player A cannot say how the attack was carried out, but Player B must describe that, as well as the injuries. In None Player A acts as in Autohit, and B as in Non-Autohit.
ie. Autohit: "A jumped at B, grinding down on his left paw."
B cannot dodge.
Non-Autohit: "A jumped at B's left paw, trying to injure it."
B can dodge, but not too often.
None: "A jumped at B, grinding down on his left paw."
B can dodge, but not too often.

In character you have to decided for a gifting or non-gifting battle, which pretty much explains itself.
After the battle the stronger character may reward the other if they have fought well.

What are levels?
Levels measure the battling skill of a character, as they are gained by the number of battles won. To some extent it shows their strength.
