Getting Started - A Player Guide!

 

Welcome to Beanling-Patch, home of the closed species Beanlings and Blightlings! This guide is designed to quickly explain everything you need to know about the ARPG and how to participate. It will briefly explain terms used and provide links for further reading.

 

What is Beanling-Patch?

Beanling-Patch is and Art Roleplaying Game, meaning you participate in the group by submitting artworks and/or writings about your beanlings. We also encourage role-playing, but it is not necessary.

 

What are beans?

Beanlings/flowerlings are one of the two main closed species of Beanling-Patch. They are fairy-like tiny creatures created from wishes. Beanlings are the child/baby form, having limited traits, while Flowerlings are the adult form and have a wider range of traits. Beanlings grow into flowerlings when their wish is fulfilled.  Similarly, Blightlings are small fey creatures created by curses. They grow into Witherlings when their curse is either fulfilled or broken. 

You can read more about the beanling patch species here.

 

Game Setting.

The Beanling-Patch game is set mainly in the world of Prism Vale. Prism Vale is a small pocket dimension housed in an opal created by a mysterious entity. It is made up of seven different islands that float among a sea of magical clouds. It is home to many magical creatures with beanlings being the main occupants.

You can read about Prism Vale here.

You can also find out more about Prism Vale's lore via the Lore Directory.

 

General game overview.

The main aim of Beanling-Patch is to grow your characters, both physically into flowerlings and emotionally as they grow as characters while exploring the world of Prism Vale. We are a welcoming and casual group with a focus on character development. We offer an ever expanding open world for your beanlings to explore and develop as well as a friendly environment to participate in casual role-playing. There are a few key activities for you to enjoy:

Growing your Beans: One of the main aspects of the game is to grow your beanling into a flowerling. Beanling and blightlings are the child/baby stage and are small in nature. At the moment they are not limited in  participating in any way from flowerlings aside from Sprouting. 

Beayns: In order to grow your beanlings or blightlings and make upgrades you will need Beayns, the groups currency. You can earn Beayns by participating in the group. The main source of Beayns are Prompts; they have a guaranteed beayn reward. Other ways to earn beans include: Questing, Events, Guilds and Achievements. Beans are tracked via the Bank tab.

- Activities: In order to earn group currency and grow you beanlings, you can participate in group activities.

  • Guilds: Join a guild that best suits you bean and earn bonus Beayns for representing your guild!
  • Monthly Prompts: These prompts are monthly with various themes. They always offer Beayn rewards and sometimes other items.
  • Questing: Go on adventures with your beans and possibly find some rewards! Questing earns a variety of items including: Crafting Materials, Beayns, Items and MYO Tokens.
  • Crafting: Once you've earned enough crafting materials, head over to crafting to make items you can apply to your beanlings!
  • Events: Every now and then, a large event will take place, usually in the form of a month long festival. These festivals usually include multiple unique activities for your beans to participate in as well as themed adoptable sales. They tend to offer special rewards such as Unique Frames, Event Currency and Legendary Mutation Potions / MYO Tokens.
  • Achievements: These tend to be more long term goals and simple side goals for fun. Some of them offer Beayn rewards and even MYO Tokens!
  • Customizing: A large focus of the group is the ability to customize your beans. You can do this by growing your bean or by applying potions which can be either crafted, purchased or won as prizes.

Do I need a Bean to join/participate?

No, you do not need to own a beanling in order to join the group and participate in activities.

If you would like to participate, there are a few options available:
