Scavenging for rare gems, geodes, and other items is one of the best ways, outside of Jobs, to make currency. Plus, it's the only way you can find some of the items you need to make Mash, a very useful food item for your Stryx!

Steps
- Using the forms at the bottom of the page, submit each of your scavenging entries for AP counting and to get rolled at the same time
Rules:
GENERAL
You can not re-use or recolor these images! All images must be original.
TRAINING/TRIBUTE images do NOT count.
Maximum 5 entries per day.
INBRED STRYX
If your Stryx is blind they must receive Blindness Training before they can hunt or fish!
If your Stryx has Crippled Wings, they can NOT be depicted flying! They may only hunt on land.
If your Stryx has Brittle Bone Syndrome, they can not hunt or fish at all.
What is considered Scavenging?
Depict your stryx looking for items by digging with their talons, rooting around in bushes, or picking around in caves (Rider optional)!
Any geographical location is acceptable. In order for the entry to count as Scavenging Stryx should be shown actively enganging in their environment or with an object clutched in their talons or mouths, not merely standing idly still, or flying/walking around without anything.
Most common things are carrying bags of loot, having something in their mouths, or talons.
If they are flying or walking around you can add backpacks, bags, maps, whatever accessories you can think of that is not just the stryx doing idle things. Needs to show some engagement.

2 stryx - 700 words
3 stryx - 800 words
Scavenging MUST feature in the story!
Each Stryx in the story should engage in 5-6 sentences (about 100 words) minimum of active scavenging.
(Literature posted to dA in July 2019 and earlier may count for four Stryx at just 600 words)
Are AP Sheets Allowed?
as of 9/5/22 activities are not allowed in sheets anymore due to how long it takes us to count them.
What if I have old activity sheets?
These will still be honored but they will have to be in a offsite tracker or submitted through the offsite art queue if they are older than 8/28/2020
Sheet-style hunting/fishing will ONLY be allowed if they look like this...
Panels must be clearly separated.
If your sheet looks like this, it will not be counted.

Biomes
There are many biomes in Wyvera for your stryx to explore. Each biome has unique items that can be used in a variety of ways.
Our current list of biomes include:
Cavern, Coastal, Desert, Forest, Grasslands, Jungle, Mountain, Volcanic and Settlement
A list of drops is coming to a theater near you....
Success Rates
The higher your Stryx's status, the better their chances are of scavenging successfully!
Scavenging drops are randomized and every successful scavenge will bring back 1-4 items.
Omega:
25% success rate
Alpha:
50% success rate
Legendary:
75% success rate
Ascended:
100% success rate
Partnership Boost
Sending out a non-ascended Stryx to hunt or fish often ends in them coming home unsuccessful. To prevent your non-ascended Stryx from failing a hunt, though, you may pair them in entries with a more experienced partner to ensure they don’t return with empty talons.
Drawing your Stryx alongside another player’s Stryx of higher rank in activity entries will give them a Partnership Boost and allow your Stryx’s entries to be rolled at the Partner Stryx’s rank. If your Stryx is Omega and pictured alongside an Alpha Partner, your Stryx can be rolled at the Alpha success rate. The same is true of Legendary and Ascended.
The Partner Stryx in the image doesn’t have to be a flock member in order to receive the Partnership Boost, but it must be owned by another player (no starters), and should be rollable in the entry. You’ll need to link the import of the Partner Stryx pictured in your entry comment to receive the boost under the line in the form for “Partnership Boost”. Leased Stryx owned by another player and being rolled by you will still count for the Partnership Boost.
Corruption
- Stryx with Contagious Corruption roll activities at a higher tier, for example Alpha rolls as Legendary, ect
- Ascended stryx can choose between two roll results
- Corrupted stryx also serve as higher-level companions
- There is a 10% chance for a Corrupted stryx to take 10 hitpoints of damage from any activity
- Contagion has a chance to spread to a non-corrupted stryx while performing any activity with a Corrupted stryx; however, leasing permission must be given from the Corrupted stryx's owner in order for it to be rolled. This can be avoided by equipping a stryx with an Immunity Cuff. Corrupted stryx equipped with an Immunity Cuff cannot pass on Corruption
