	Fables and Fantasy ~~RP makes use of~~ a system where ~~items get Event team or Loremaster approval to authenticate~~ items that ~~have certain uses or meanings~~. This guide ~~is meant to help~~ you ~~understand~~ what ~~the~~ approval ~~tags mean~~ and how ~~to use them. First things first, you need to understand which types~~ of ~~approval there are and what they mean~~.		Fables and Fantasy uses a straightforward system where users can have items that affect them and Eseron. This guide will briefly overview how you, the player, can get these approvals, what needs approval, and how it works in the world of Eden.

	== Overview: ==		== Overview ==
			When an item has an event team tag, the item in question has been obtained through in-character means through an event. It proves authenticity, though most times, it is for a trophy. The other option is the item can be used for later events. This is mainly for event lines that the event team may be running for the time being.

	Event Approval tags are made by Gamemasters. These approval tags are meant to show items that are obtained IC and through roleplay. That means these items are canon and can be displayed as such. Event Approved items are cosmetic items and do not have any direct impact on the world around them, so they cannot be used as weapons on their own.


	~~For example; you kill~~ a ~~spider and loot its fang~~. ~~You might get~~ an item ~~with the Event Team Approval~~ that this ~~was indeed~~ a ~~spider fang salvaged this way. These fangs cannot be used themselves, however depending on~~ the ~~description you might change them~~.		Loremaster tags have more validity than event team tags. If a lore team member approves an item, this signifies that the object affects themselves or others in roleplay. When someone shows an item that has this tag, they obtained such from a lore ticket in the support discord.

	Loremaster approval tags are made by Loremasters. These approval tags are meant to show items are able to be used to affect the user or the world around them. That means these items are able to be used for special means outside of the norm. These effects will always have to be described on the item.

	For example; you have the spider fang from above and see it states there is strong poison inside. If you wish to utilize this poison you must extract it by requesting an event. The event team will then ask loremasters to help balance the poison and the loremaster will give a Loremaster approval tag. Now the item is ready for use.
	~~[[File:Vial of Giant Spider Venom.png\|none\|thumb\|338x338px\|Loremaster approved item.]]~~

			The main difference between the two is the weight that the tags carry. In game, they both hold the same color, however, most loremaster-approved items will hold a section that contains what it affects.

	~~As seen above, this item has infuence on the world around it if it~~ is ~~applied and able to poison~~ the ~~target~~. ~~Or it is able~~ to ~~influence~~ the ~~user by poisoning them~~. ~~This requires it~~ to ~~have the loremaster~~ approval ~~tag~~.		== When Items Need Approval ==
	~~== So when do your~~ items ~~need approval? ==~~		A Loremaster approved tag is a signature of the authenticity of an item. Most times an item does not need approval. Some examples are: drinks, gifts from one character to the other, food, and anything that adds a little flair. On the contrary, many items need to be submitted for approval. The examples are custom weapons, prosthetics, casting items, historical artifacts, relics, babies, and limbs. Event approved items cannot be directly asked for without an event.

	~~Most often, your items~~ will ~~not~~ need ~~any staff~~ approval~~. Anything with custom~~ lore ~~that just describes~~ the ~~appearance of an~~ item ~~or foods~~ and ~~drinks that have no special effects~~ to ~~them do not need~~ lore ~~approval~~. ~~Event team and loremaster approval tags are usually a way to authenticate items you got through RP~~. ~~Such as severed heads, casting items, and objects obtained during events~~.		Custom weapons are any weapon that affects the other player in which a [https://forums.fablesfantasyrp.com/index.php?threads/combat-roleplay-crp.659/ CRP pre-made profile] has. These weapons can have custom mechanics and will need approval through a lore ticket where the Event and Lore Team Manager will give feedback on balancing where the item will be given a tag and a custom-added trait to signify it is ready to use. This is the only lore approved item that needs input from the Event Team Manager.

	~~Event~~ team-approved ~~items can not be requested without having done a proper event for them. If you hunt something~~, ~~for instance, you can harvest the corpse for certain items, it is up to the gamemaster if those items can actually~~ be ~~harvested or not~~. ~~Other small trinkets~~ and ~~relics can also be obtained from events and will have this tag~~. ~~Once again, these items do not have much use except as trophies~~.		To get a lore team approved item, one must be in our [https://discord.gg/TVcj6zu6TG support discord] and create a lore request ticket.
			[[File:Lore Request.png\|none\|thumb\|Click on "request ticket".]]

			== Different Tags ==
	~~Loremaster-approved items can be requested if the item~~ in ~~question has an effect on its user or~~ the ~~world and people around them~~. These ~~items will only~~ be ~~approved if there’s a good reason for those items to have such effects. Such as the casting items of a mage character. Their magic stems from their catalyst~~, ~~so when they insert their catalyst into a new item~~, ~~it will get loremaster approval as a casting item. Similar items with special effects will have~~ to ~~get Loremaster approval before they can get used. Open up~~ a lore ~~request~~ ticket ~~for questions, it is up~~ to ~~the loremaster to say whether an item can or cannot be introduced into the server~~.		One might find outdated tags in the server. These cannot be used, and instead, one needs to open a lore ticket to get this swapped out if available.

	~~== I have an item with a different approved tag, what does this mean? ==~~


	~~It might be possible you find yourself in possession of an item with a different approval tag than what you saw before, such as the following:~~
	[[File:Outdated ~~Loremaster approval~~.png\|none\|thumb~~\|420x420px~~\|Outdated Loremaster ~~Approval tag]]~~
	~~[[File:Player created tag.png\|none\|thumb\|Outdated player created tag~~.]]
	Do note that items with these tags are outdated and no longer supported in the same way. So items with these approval tags do not have any canon worth when used in peculiar situations. If you do happen to own one of such items then open a lore ticket so you might get a replacement where needed.

Fables and Fantasy RP makes use of a system where items get Event team or Loremaster approval to authenticate items that have certain uses or meanings. This guide is meant to help you understand what the approval tags mean and how to use them. First things first, you need to understand which types of approval there are and what they mean.

== Overview: ==

Event Approval tags are made by Gamemasters. These approval tags are meant to show items that are obtained IC and through roleplay. That means these items are canon and can be displayed as such. Event Approved items are cosmetic items and do not have any direct impact on the world around them, so they cannot be used as weapons on their own.

For example; you kill a spider and loot its fang. You might get an item with the Event Team Approval that this was indeed a spider fang salvaged this way. These fangs cannot be used themselves, however depending on the description you might change them.

Loremaster approval tags are made by Loremasters. These approval tags are meant to show items are able to be used to affect the user or the world around them. That means these items are able to be used for special means outside of the norm. These effects will always have to be described on the item.

For example; you have the spider fang from above and see it states there is strong poison inside. If you wish to utilize this poison you must extract it by requesting an event. The event team will then ask loremasters to help balance the poison and the loremaster will give a Loremaster approval tag. Now the item is ready for use.
[[File:Vial of Giant Spider Venom.png|none|thumb|338x338px|Loremaster approved item.]]

As seen above, this item has infuence on the world around it if it is applied and able to poison the target. Or it is able to influence the user by poisoning them. This requires it to have the loremaster approval tag.
== So when do your items need approval? ==

Most often, your items will not need any staff approval. Anything with custom lore that just describes the appearance of an item or foods and drinks that have no special effects to them do not need lore approval. Event team and loremaster approval tags are usually a way to authenticate items you got through RP. Such as severed heads, casting items, and objects obtained during events.

Event team-approved items can not be requested without having done a proper event for them. If you hunt something, for instance, you can harvest the corpse for certain items, it is up to the gamemaster if those items can actually be harvested or not. Other small trinkets and relics can also be obtained from events and will have this tag. Once again, these items do not have much use except as trophies.

Loremaster-approved items can be requested if the item in question has an effect on its user or the world and people around them. These items will only be approved if there’s a good reason for those items to have such effects. Such as the casting items of a mage character. Their magic stems from their catalyst, so when they insert their catalyst into a new item, it will get loremaster approval as a casting item. Similar items with special effects will have to get Loremaster approval before they can get used. Open up a lore request ticket for questions, it is up to the loremaster to say whether an item can or cannot be introduced into the server.

== I have an item with a different approved tag, what does this mean? ==

It might be possible you find yourself in possession of an item with a different approval tag than what you saw before, such as the following:

Do note that items with these tags are outdated and no longer supported in the same way. So items with these approval tags do not have any canon worth when used in peculiar situations. If you do happen to own one of such items then open a lore ticket so you might get a replacement where needed.
