Sorry if this is answered somewhere, I didnt see it in the art selling board. It's been a while since I've been online. Whats the conversion from USD/Gold/Gems? Is art allowed to be sold for USD here? What are the rules regarding that? Thanks.

@zealli Gems > USD is a fixed rate as per the buying Gems Page. basically 100g = $1 (although discounts apply on higher numbers there)
Gems > Treasure fluctuates, best to keep an eye on the items for sale page, currently at 1g:700t or thereabouts.

Currently: $1=100g=70,000t

Hi there, @zealli! The Art Sales policy can be found in the [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/site/terms-use]Terms of Use[/url]. :) [quote][b]Art Sales Policy[/b] a.You may sell your digital Flight Rising fan art or commissions for both "real world" currency or for Flight Rising Currency. [LIST=1] [*]Note that Flight Rising retains the copyright to its dragons and designs. [/LIST] b.You may display your Flight Rising fan art on your personal website provided that you provide a link or the URL text to or for flightrising.com on or near the image. c.No more than 5 units be sold of tangible merchandise utilizing the Flight Rising intellectual property (IP) be sold for "real world" currency. Making a piece of fan art or a craft project is fine, but making a business out of Flight Rising merchandise is not. [LIST=1] [*]Tangible merchandise utilizing Flight Rising IP may be gifted, traded, purchased with Flight Rising currency, or raffled (provided the raffle does not utilize "real world" currency) beyond this 5 unit limit, but may not be sold for "real world" currency once the 5 unit limit is exceeded. [/LIST] d.Artwork utilizing the Flight Rising IP may not be added to third party, print-service stores. Example: shapeways, deviantart prints, redbubble, cafepress, zazzle, and similar entities. e.Artwork sales of original works, -tangible and digital- utilizing the artist's own IP may be sold by the artist and have no limitations on units sold. The limitations above are placed solely on works using Flight Rising'[/quote] When it says that only 5 units of tangible merchandise may be sold for real-world money, it means that you can only ever sell 5 pieces of tangible art (It's not 5 of one type of tangible art and 5 of another type. Example: 3 plush toys, 4 prints, and a bracelet would be 3 items too many ).

@JCStitches Does that mean if someone wanted art of their dragon, I could only ever sell five pieces of dragon art? What if the user has a hijinka/humanized design of their dragon instead, would that be allowed to pass the 5 piece rule? Thanks in advance!

@zealli The 5 unit rule specifies tangible art. That means art you can hold in your hands - like making merchandise using copyrighted material. If you're selling digital commissions, there's no limits. :)

@JCStitches Oh I see! That clears it up, thank you so much!
