Important Rules & Limits update
Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by marshmuHello! We've introduced some new rules to keep the game balanced. These have all been added to the Scoring & Standards guide and will remain there for your reference, but here is a rundown on what they are. If you have questions, feel free to ask below!
- Upper character limit for submissions
- Doodlepages submission Limits
- New Thumbnail rule
- New Character Definition Rule
1.Upper character limit for submissions
The scorable character limit for ANY submission is now maximum 50 characters (prompts, general art, background art, doodle pages, etc) "Characters" includes ranebopets, familiars, etc. Scorable meaning the first 50 characters count for currency, but the 51st character and above in a submission does not count for TC.
Reason: Sometimes members submit large pieces with characters that are too numerous to reasonably count. We've introduced this limit to keep it reasonable for processing purposes and to reduce mistake TC given.
2. Doodlepage submission limits
A doodle page is defined as a page of many drawings of characters with no background. (“characters” includes grown raneopets, hatchlings, and familiars) You can claim currency on up to 2 character doodlepages per month. If the page has over 10 characters, You must still provide a 2nd version of the doodlepage which is numbered for easier counting. The kinds of doodlepages are:
- Same-character doodlepage | up to 20 characters each page. Same-character is a page of drawings with all same characters or many repeating characters with over 2+ repeats each.
- Different-character doodlepage | up to 50 characters per page. A page of drawings that is mostly different characters with few repeat characters.
If you are someone that enjoys making massive doodle pages, you can still make them! However, there is a limit to how much TC you can earn on them per month.
Reason: We want to limit massive tc farming per user using character drawings - we still allow it to the limits above but we wanted to make sure there is a monthly cap. There are currently no limits on prompt submissions or general art with backgrounds, so long as the backgrounds are not recycled.
3. New thumbnail rules
Thumbnails are NOT the sketch of your drawing! If you submit just the pieces' sketch it will be rejected. In order for something to count as a thumbnail.....
- If you're claiming thumbnail bonus, you must submit at least 2 different thumbnails with a piece. Thumbnails are for exploring options for your piece before you start, so you must have at least 2.
- It must have a border of any shape. Rectangle, square, circle, a loose shape, etc.
- It must have background elements.
Reason: We have many users submitting their piece's sketch for thumbnail TC, but unfortunately this is not what thumbnails are so we are rejecting a lot. We're hoping these rules can make clearer what a thumbnail is and is not.
4. New Character Definition/Abstraction rule
Character art being claimed for currency (including within doodle pages) must be well-defined and cannot be overly vague, loose, or abstract versions of themselves.
The example below is just a general guide to communicate the concept. Columns 1-3 in the example would generally count for currency, with 3 being the limit, but 4 would not count.
Character abstraction is a sliding scale and if we're stuck, we compare your submission to your other pieces of artwork to decide if it counts. Ultimately it comes down to the moderator's discression, the artist's work, and the context of the submission.
Reason: We've had a number of submissions with character drawings in them that we feel are too abstract to count as a fullbody character, so introduced this rule/definition.
Eggster + Gen. Art claims
Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by Handhelld
What time is it? It's EGGSTER! Welcome to our most jam-packed seasonal event yet! This event runs for all of april and introduces new features to the game, guest designs, egg hunts, and more!
Read about all the features and the event lore here! https://www.ranebopets.info/eggster.html
Egg hunts are not live yet. Don't go looking for them yet!
Refresher on EC (Event currency) for new members!
- Only obtainable via the eggster prompts
- Cannot be traded/Transferred between users
- Will be cleared after the event ends
Additional announcement
Due to the increase of submissions we have been getting lately, we are putting general art claims on pause as we rework the system. We currently do not have an ETA on when they will be unpaused. You can still earn TC by doing prompts while general art is paused!
Writing submissions
Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by HandhelldWriting submissions have been re-opened!!
The way we score writing has changed slightly from before, so please give the scoring guide a look over before submitting any writing!
Prompts that accept writing, now require 800 words as a minimum, with the exception of Multi-Part prompts like dragoon discovery and affinity prompts.
Additionally, the cookery writing prompt has been removed and replaced with the "Best baker" challenge prompt! Check it out here!
Cloventines' is here!
Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by marshmuCloventines' is here, and it is a little different from last year! Cloventines' is now a mini event that uses TC instead of EC. We are planning an egg-hunt themed major event in april and downgraded cloventine's to make room, but there's still plenty of things to do!
There are a couple of prompts available for march, and you can access the Secret Seasonal shop if you have the Cloventines' badge. Get the badge by doing cloventines' prompts!

Volunteer Breedings
Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by marshmuIf you would like to volunteer your ranebopets to be paired with for the breeding event, Comment below with a link to your ranebopets' ML entries! No hatchlings, and you can only volunteer rpets YOU own!
This does not give you a free baby. It just means someone can choose your pet to pair with theirs if they are getting a breed slot. The offspring produced will take inspiration & traits from the two parents involved in the breeding.
Welcome new members!
Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by HandhelldWelcome!!
The buppy balooza event is now over, and we've gotten so many new members in the past two days! I hope you all enjoy your time here in ranebopets!
Joining a new group and learning all the systems and workings can be exhausting for anyone, so I've compiled a list of some need-to-knows for new members!
You can find a compiled list of all of our user guides here!
All Ranebopets lore and species info can be found here!
Submitting prompts and claims [ See full guide]
- When submitting any prompt or claim, you will need to add a scoring breakdown to the comments section of your claim! A scoring breakdown is essentially a list of what you're claiming tc on! Think of it as showing your work on a math assignment. So long as you make an attempt, you'll be fine! Mods will double check your breakdown and add or remove TC if theres any inaccuracies!
- Heres an example!
4tc - 2x Ranebopet fullbodies
8tc - Lv2 Background
12 tc total
- Heres an example!
- Another thing you will need to do, is add on your claimed TC! If you're claiming 12tc on a drawing, you'll need to make sure you add it as a reward! If you forget, a mod will typically catch it and add it on to your claim for you!
- You can't claim TC on the FIRST masterlist drawing of a MYO ranebopet, as this is part of the requirement to make them official!
MYO tickets [See full guide]
- MYO tickets can be purchased at any time from the [MYO shop]! To turn a MYO ticket into a usable MYO slot, find it in your inventory, click it and select "Use". Afterwards you can find it under "MYO slots" on the side of your profile!
Giftart [ see full guide ]
- If you would like to edit the giftart status on your character..
- Go to their Masterlist entry > Select edit profile > At the bottom, select a giftart setting from the dropdown!
- If you find a character on the masterlist that you want to draw, make sure to check their public giftart status before drawing them! some users don't want giftart of their characters, so you'll need to respect their wishes!
If you have further questions...
Comment below this news post
Ask a question in the #help channel on the Discord server (age 16+)
or Contact the Ranebopets Deviantart Group.
We hope you have fun here in ranebopets!!

Pouflons Final Migration
Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by HandhelldFINAL UPDATE
As of this update (February 1st) all pouflons and vespires have been removed from the ranebopets site and settled into their new homes on https://www.play.pouflons.com/ . If you own a pouflon / vespire character or MYO slot, we urge you to make sure your Pouflons account is verified and to double check to make sure all of your characters / Items have been migrated successfully. If you find any sort of discrepency, please contact the pouflons mod team to get it sorted out!
Additionally, if you happen to be in the posession of a pouflons specific item, please contact the pouflons mod team to get that item migrated to their site where it can be used. ( Don't know if your item is a pouflons item? check their description here to find out )

-------------------------
Update: we've added more conversion options and changed how to request migrations/conversions.
Hi ranebopets community, I hope you’re having a safe holiday season!! This is an important announcement just for users with pouflons/vespires hosted on Ranebopets.
We’re in the final stages of the unmerge, and after January ends, Pouflons/vespires will be no longer hosted on ranebopets and they will not be able to be counted for TC in prompts. To be crystal clear, no one is losing their pouflon/vesp; we are just moving them solely to the play.pouflons site. Currently pippets are unaffected & staying in rpets inventories/character inventories. You can still migrate your pippets/inventory to play.pouflons.
I know it is an unexpected change, I deeply apologise for inconvenience caused and would like to offer users flexible options regarding this change:
✦ Keep your pouflon/vespire, migrated to play.pouflons
✦ Convert your pouflon/vespire to TC on ranebopets
✦ Convert your pouflon/vespire to ITEMS on ranebopets
✦ Migrate ITEMS or CURRENCY To or from ranebopets or pouflons
^^^Use this form to request one of the above: https://forms.gle/sM9HseXhVuXKv3JW6^^^
✦ Convert your pouflon/vespire to ANOTHER SPECIES on ranebopets. how to do it
We’d like to thank all users that enjoyed playing with their poufs on ranebopets and encourage you to give play.pouflons.com a try if you’d like to continue the adventure with your Pouf. We also want to ensure you that none of the other species will be leaving ranebopets; Just pouflons and vespires. If you have any questions or concerns, you can ask in #help, or leave a note in #suggestions in the ranebopets discord for suggestions. If you are looking to Trade your pouflon or vespire, we reccommend you advertise in the Poufs server.
All the Best, and thanks again for playing with your pouflons & vespires on Ranebo.
