**Gameplay Points (GPP)** are a soft currency awarded automatically to online characters at a fixed real-time interval. GPP is the spend currency for champion-spawn idol activation, the //Gameplay Rewards// destination on the Public Moongate, and any vendor or raffle stone configured to accept it.

===== Accrual =====

Every **4 hours** of online time, each character with a Perks record receives Gameplay Points:

^ Condition ^ Points per tick ^
| Base award (any online player) | 1 |
| Better Gameplay Rewards perk active | +3 (4 total per tick) |
| New character (within 7 days of creation) | +1 bonus |

When the new-character bonus applies, you also see:
//"You've earned an additional gameplay point, just for being a new player at Sosaria!"//

After each tick the character receives:
//"You Have N Gameplay Point(s)"//

===== Balance Inquiry =====

Type either command in-game to see your current balance:

  * ''[gpp''
  * ''[gameplaypoints''

The system responds with //"You have N gameplay points."//

===== Better Gameplay Rewards Perk =====

The Better Gameplay Rewards perk triples your accrual rate (3 extra points per tick) while active. Duration is tracked as an expiry timestamp. Using a Perk Deed while the perk is inactive sets a fresh expiry; using one while it is already active stacks the duration onto the existing expiry.

Confirmed sources of Perk Deeds granting **Better Gameplay Rewards**:

^ Source ^ Cost / Drop ^ Duration ^
| Demigod-tier random dungeon bosses | 1–3 random Perk Deeds per kill | 1–2 hours each |
| Perk Deed Vendor Stone | 10 Sosarian Dollars (Sosarian Coins) | 30 days |
| Donation Rewards | 50 donation credits | +24 hours |
| Donation Rewards | 200 donation credits | +7 days |
| Gold Vendor Stone | varies | 1 hour |
| Random Perk Deed rolls | drop-dependent | varies |

Random Perk Deed roll behavior (the deed itself can come from various drops): Better Gameplay Rewards is the outcome on roll cases 5 and 7, on case 2 with 50% probability (vs. Better Loot), and on case 11 with 99.5% probability (vs. Move While Casting). It is also the fall-through default outcome.

Non-demigod dungeon bosses, treasure-map chests, standard champion spawns, and standard monsters do **not** drop Perk Deeds.

Perk Deeds may be stored in the Perk Codex storage key.

===== Spending Gameplay Points =====

==== Champion Spawn Activation ====

Double-click the **Idol of the Champion** at an inactive public champion spawn to open the activation gump:

^ Map type ^ Cost ^ Prompt ^
| Standard map | 1 GPP | //"Pay 1 gameplay point to activate the spawn?"// |
| Desolate map | 10 GPP | //"Pay 10 gameplay points to activate the spawn?"// |

On successful activation, the spawn becomes active with a 3-hour expire delay. If another player activates the spawn between your confirmation and the activation step, your points are **refunded** in full.

Instance (private) champion spawns skip the gump entirely and cost **no** Gameplay Points. The spawn type that begins is whichever type is stored on the idol; if the spawn is set to randomize its type, the reroll happens on the next restart, not on activation.

==== For-Sale and Raffle Stones ====

Vendor stones may be configured to accept Gameplay Points as currency. When they do, the item's label shows:

//"Price: N Gameplay Points / Target With \"[Purchase\" Command"//

To buy, target the item with the ''[Purchase'' command:

  * If your balance is below the price: //"You do not have enough Gameplay Points to purchase this item. Your balance is N."//
  * On success, the price is deducted and the item is delivered (some stones drop directly to your bank).

Currency-label priority on stones that could in theory carry multiple currencies follows the order: **Daily > Referral > PvM > Gameplay > Gold > Sosarian Dollars**.

Limited-stock stones block further purchases once their sold count reaches the limit. While stock remains, the stone displays //"Limited Item: x/N Sold"//.

Raffle stones use the same Gameplay Points purchase flow, debiting the configured price per entry.

==== Gameplay Rewards Destination ====

The Public Moongate menu has a destination called **"Gameplay Rewards"** that takes you to coordinates **(6265, 1835, 0)** on **Trammel**. This is the in-world location of the GPP-currency vendor stones described above. There is no separate gump or fixed stock list — what is available depends on what staff have placed on the stones.

===== Persistence =====

Your Gameplay Points balance and Better Gameplay Rewards expiry are saved on your character. New characters start with **0 Gameplay Points** and the Better Gameplay Rewards perk inactive (expiry set to one hour in the past).

===== Items Confirmed Out of Scope =====

The following are **not** currently sources of Gameplay Points in this snapshot:

  * PvM Games do not pay out Gameplay Points, despite a prize field existing for them.
  * No other system grants or deducts Gameplay Points outside the 4-hour accrual timer and the champion-idol refund branch.
