There are two known levels of the ryetag. Ryetag will most often come in the pup stage, which is how they leave the valley. Level two ryetag are older, adult stages. Elements, mutations, and items may affect the levels differently. Occasionally a level 2 will be auctioned at Dominion under special circumstances.
Level Ups
The advancing of level on a ryetag can happen a number of ways. Red and Yuiven may randomly level up an older or well cared for ryetag and post it or email it to you. There will also, on occasion, be level up applications at the market. In this case, the individual ryetag will be reviewed and may be accepted for level up. Level ups can also be earned by owners in events that deal with ryetag.
When choosing level up recipients, the page home of the ryetag will be reviewd, along with age. Sometimes a list of ID's will be posted announcing that they are ready for level up. Level up is still optional and up to the owner.
Showing and Levels
Showing ryetag will always be seperated by level. Only level one ryetag will compete against each other. Same for level two. Level specific shows can be held at anytime.
If you have earned a Level Up, it is on record. Raising the level of one of your ryetag is very simple, even though it may take a while to get back to you. Just email Yuiven or Red with the original ryetag ID and tell us you want to use your level up on them.
Save Old Levels?
Though it is not an actual requirement right now, it is prefered that you have a ink to the previous level picture of your ryetag nearby, so people can see it's previous form. This is also a good way to map a visual progress of the growth of your ryetag. Keeping before and after pictures when giving an element is recomended as well.
I would suggest haveing a seperate basic page just for previous stages so the owner and others can see the progression of the ryetag. Just a little link in the stats of the ryetag on its page where it lives would be fine.
