# Merit Quests

Merit Points are earned through quests and community engagement. They complement Valor Points (which are earned through contributions) and give every fan a way to climb the leaderboard, earn recognition, and become eligible for Oshi Membership Rewards.

***

### How quests work

Quests are activities that earn you Merit Points. Some are one-time tasks (like following an account), while others can be repeated (like referring new supporters).

Each quest awards a set number of Merit Points when completed. Your total Merit determines your position on the Merit Leaderboard.

> 💡 Merit Points cannot be purchased. They can only be earned through participation.

### Launch quests

The following quests are available from the start of the GATE 2 campaign.

#### Social follows (one-time)

Follow the official accounts to earn Merit and stay connected to campaign updates.

* Follow @gate\_anime on X (GATE JP)
* Follow @gate\_animeEN on X (GATE EN)
* Follow @oshikatsu\_co on X (Oshi)
* Join the Oshi Discord

Each follow quest can be completed once and awards a small Merit bonus.

#### Community comment (one-time)

Leave a message for the creators after making your contribution. This is your chance to share why you're supporting GATE 2 directly with the people making it.

#### Referrals

Refer new supporters to the GATE 2 campaign. The Merit you earn scales with the rank your referred supporter joins at.

| Referred supporter's rank  | Merit earned by referrer |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Seaman ($5)                | 10                       |
| Petty Officer ($20)        | 15                       |
| Chief Petty Officer ($100) | 25                       |
| Lieutenant ($250)          | 50                       |
| Commander ($1,000)         | 75                       |
| Captain ($2,500)           | 150                      |
| Admiral ($10,000)          | 250                      |

As a referred user, you also earn Merit (30 points) when you join through a referral link and make a contribution.

> Referral rewards are capped at 25 referrals per user.

### What's coming

In Japan, oshikatsu (推し活), the act of championing what you love, is recognized as one of the most meaningful forms of fan support. Fans have always gone above and beyond for the anime they care about: creating art, building communities, spreading the word, showing up. Oshi's quest system is built to recognize that energy and give it a home.

As the campaign and production progress, new quest types will be introduced across three effort levels. The examples below represent the kinds of activities we're exploring. Not all of them will become quests, and others not listed here may be added. Merit rewards will scale to match the effort involved.

> 🎌 Many of these quest types, especially those tied to episode content and fan creation, will become available closer to the anime's airing so fans can engage with the story directly. You'll be notified as each quest launches.

#### Low-effort examples

Quick, repeatable actions that keep you connected and earning Merit consistently.

<table><thead><tr><th width="241.30859375">Quest</th><th>What you do</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Poll Voting</td><td>Vote in weekly character polls, scene polls, or community questions</td></tr><tr><td>Trivia Quizzes</td><td>Answer short lore or episode trivia questions each week</td></tr><tr><td>Content Sharing</td><td>Share official trailers, key visuals, or campaign content to your social channels when new materials drop</td></tr><tr><td>Tag &#x26; Hashtag</td><td>Use campaign hashtags or tag Oshi on your personal posts about GATE 2</td></tr><tr><td>Upvote Fan Content</td><td>Like or upvote fellow fans' posts, art, or theories on the platform</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Medium-effort examples

Active participation that involves creativity, discussion, and showing up for the community.

<table><thead><tr><th width="246.19140625">Quest</th><th>What you do</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Episode Discussions</td><td>Post thoughtful comments in episode discussion threads after each episode drops</td></tr><tr><td>Lore &#x26; Theory Threads</td><td>Contribute original insights or predictions to fan theory discussions</td></tr><tr><td>Fan Art Sketches</td><td>Submit a fan art sketch of a favorite character or scene</td></tr><tr><td>Livestream &#x26; Watch Parties</td><td>Join official livestreams, cast interviews, or synchronized watch parties</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### High-effort examples

Prestige milestones for fans who go above and beyond. These carry the highest Merit rewards and may unlock unique badges.

<table><thead><tr><th width="244.75390625">Quest</th><th>What you do</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Polished Fan Art</td><td>Create a fully finished fan art piece and submit it to the official gallery</td></tr><tr><td>Cosplay Creation</td><td>Cosplay as a GATE 2 character and share photos</td></tr><tr><td>AMV or Fan Video</td><td>Produce a fan-made video and share it with the community</td></tr><tr><td>Community Event Organizer</td><td>Propose, plan, and host a community-driven event</td></tr><tr><td>Convention or IRL Event</td><td>Attend a real-world event related to GATE 2 or Oshi and check in</td></tr></tbody></table>

Everything listed above is an idea or concept we'd love to bring into the platform as we progress. Oshi is building a home for fandom, and the quest system will grow alongside it. All examples are subject to change, and the final quest lineup may look different as we learn what resonates most with the community. Specific quests, Merit values, and availability will be announced as each becomes available.

### Tips

**Start with the basics.** Social follows and the community comment are the quickest way to start earning Merit.

**Use your referral link.** Referrals are one of the highest-Merit activities available at launch, and both you and the person you refer earn points.

**Check back regularly.** New quests will be added throughout the campaign and into the anime's airing period.
