If you need to check your Pili amount then please go to the Pili Bank

Each piece of art or writing that is created for the Grotto is eligible to earn Pili, or the in group currency.  How much you get depends entirely on the type of artwork and how much time/effort was put into it.  For example something with a background and shading to go along with the character will get a bit more than a sketch would.

Pili can be used to obtain items and MYOs within the group.  Visually it can be represented by gold, silver, and wooden coins.  But to avoid confusion all prices will be listed for a total value.
You can also use Pili to buy art from artists who have a Pili option! Prices should be the worth of the drawing/commission!
(If you as the buyer pays for a commission with Pili you cannot claim the pili from it)

If you are accepting commissions for Pili please let us know below! Please link us the comment of the person agreeing to commission you so we can deduct the amount from their account.
After the commission is completed please link the comment of us deducting the Pili for you to get the Pili comm bonus!
