As well as a reminder of the commands you need to use with the system. I will go over the two ways of getting bonus characters below ## Via Upvoting You can get up to 800 characters per upvote, depending on the website you upvote on. Top.gg or Discord Bot List. Each time you upvote you gain 1 upvote token, you can redeem these using `/reward redeem_upvotes`, each time you redeem a token you will get a random amount of characters between 300 and 800. ## Via Purchase You are able to buy bonus characters via the store within Discord. Accessible via the bot's profile (doesn't always show on mobile). All you have to do is buy the relevant package. The characters will be added to your account automatically, you can view them with the aforementioned dashboard command. Once added please allocate them, as shown below. {% hint style="warning" %} Any issues with the characters you've bought please [join the support server](https://discord.com/invite/8JZwx82) as soon as possible! {% endhint %} ## Allocation `/reward allocate [amount] [server]` Once you've got all your bonus characters you just need to allocate them with the command above, if you don't specify any options it will automatically allocate all characters to the server you are typing the command in. Please be aware that once characters are allocated in most cases we are unable to remove them from the server and give them back to you.
