Valor & Merit Points

Two point systems: Valor tracks contributions, Merit rewards community engagement.

[GRAPHIC: Valor vs Merit Comparison - side-by-side visual]

💰 Key difference: Valor is earned through money ($1 = 100 Valor). Merit is earned through activities. They don't convert into each other.

Valor Points

Valor measures your campaign contributions and determines your rank.

Conversion: $1 USD = 100 Valor Points

Rank	Valor Required	Contribution
Seaman	500	$5
Petty Officer	2,000	$20
Chief Petty Officer	10,000	$100
Lieutenant	25,000	$250
Commander	100,000	$1,000
Captain	250,000	$2,500
Admiral	1,000,000	$10,000

📝 Note: Valor is campaign-specific. Your GATE 2 Valor is tracked separately from future campaigns.

Merit Points

Merit recognizes community participation beyond financial contribution.

How to earn Merit:

• Referring new supporters

• Participating in community events

• Completing quests

• Engaging with campaign content

💡 Merit isn't purchasable. You earn it through participation and engagement.
