Hi there!
In this thread, you'll find... well, pretty much what it says on the tin. I'll be telling you a few of the different ways to play, because there are many facets to this little place and sometimes it gets a bit confusing.
First of all, no matter which of these paths you take, you should take a look through our Guides & Information section first, because it includes a lot of integral stuff that'll help you understand the site and how it works. This is more for people who have already been approved who are looking for what to do on Terrea.
So, without further ado, let's get to the guide!

So, without further ado, let's get to the guide!
THE ART PATH:
If you're an artist playing Terrea, and you don't necessarily want to spend your time writing or role playing, don't worry! There's still plenty for you to do around here.
If you're an artist playing Terrea, and you don't necessarily want to spend your time writing or role playing, don't worry! There's still plenty for you to do around here.
1. You can draw your blobling's Evos! Assuming an Evolution Phase is open, you can snap up a DIY Slot and draw your blobling's evolution yourself! You'll need to earn some Coins and purchase some Vouchers in the Shop first, which you'll then apply in one of our Evolution Phases. More information on how to do so is in our Evolution Guide, as well as at the top of every current Evolution Phase thread.
2. Our Art Prompts update every single month, and completing them will earn you Coins! Simply post your completed art in our most current Art Prompts thread, which is usually stored in our OOC Events section and stickied.
3. If you're not feeling our Art Prompts but still want to do some Terrea-related art, there's the General Art Submissions Thread! Any medium is accepted; as long as what you make is Terrea-related, it'll make you Coins! Instructions on how to calculate your earnings are in the first post of the thread.
4. Do you want to make your blob swole? D'you enjoy participating in stat-based combat? If so, you may want to consider converting your blobling to being a stat-based blob. Once you convert your blobling in our Conversion Thread, you can level it up with Art or Writing in the Stat Explanations and Prompts thread!
5. Does your blobling have an interest in social media? If so, you could sign them up for Fastagram! Fastagram is Terrea's Instagram equivalent, and it allows your blob to post images and small bits of text. More info on this aspect of the site is in the Fastagram Guide!
6. Do you want to fill out the Awards section on your Player Profile? Right now you can get an Award by completing a certain number of Tiny Tasks. Tiny Tasks are little tasks that players can do to enjoy Terrea and explore the site, such as having their blobling fish for the first time. There are both writing-based and art-based Tiny Tasks, so this is in both sections!
THE WRITING AND ROLE PLAYING PATH:
If you're a writer or role player on Terrea, there are plenty of options for you!
1. You can go to the role play section and role play as your blobling with other players! To find others to write with, you can go to our Discord or to the forum's Plotting Section. It's helpful to reach out with what you're looking for; your blobling's first thread and perhaps meeting their first friend, or a combat encounter as your blobling may attack anybody who approaches in their confusion. It's up to you what kind of RP you want!
2. You can try writing as your blobling for Coins in our monthly Writing Prompts threads, located in the OOC Events area! These will include prompts such as writing a poem as your blobling, or writing your blobling finding and building a place to call home-- and more!
3. Do you want your blobling to have a pet? Do you like fuzzy feline-like fantasy creatures? Well, why don't you get your blobling a meowler in our Meowler Pens? Meowlers can be the size of a bunny or the size of a small elephant, and can be saddled to help your blobling traverse the lands. They're created on a base so each one is unique, and you can role play the taming interactions with our meowler mod TJ! Once you've successfully tamed a meowler, you can also bond with it in the Meowler Bonding thread.
4. Are meowlers not your thing? Would you rather have your blobling tame a different kind of pet? In that case, there's the DIY Taming Thread! This is a place where players can have their blobling run into and tame one of Terrea's many wandering pets. As the 'DIY' suggests, there is no mod to play as the pet, so you'll have to be a bit more creative here. But don't fret! There is a guide in the thread itself, and there are many examples of how to do this properly in the thread. Play around, have fun, and get your blobs some cute animal friends. <3
5. The Onyxia Santuary is Terrea's first city, meaning it's where a lot of blobs have decided to reside. It's also the home of some of Terrea's most exciting places! Have your blobling go to the Onyxia Library and write a book, and you can then roll our on-site dice to see how well it does when it's released to the masses. If you want your blobling to live within the city, why not have them claim a unit in one of its towers? At the time of my writing this, there are still several available!
6. Have your blobling join a Blobling Initiative. Blobling Initiatives are groups that go on quests together or move towards a certain goal together, much like a guild or a club. Writing down one of these paths also has the added bonus of growing your blobling's relationship with one of Terrea's NPCs.
7. Do you want to fill out the Awards section on your Player Profile? Right now you can get an Award by completing a certain number of Tiny Tasks. Tiny Tasks are little tasks that players can do to enjoy Terrea and explore the site, such as having their blobling fish for the first time. There are both writing-based and art-based Tiny Tasks, so this is in both sections!
