Alright friends.
This is the second catchup type update after the first one in July, and this is another boost for new characters coming in and existing characters with less experience than this gives. Basically the update ups the amount of experience someone gets at character creation by 200 and removes restrictions on what that experience can go to with the exception that no abilities can actually be raised to D rank on character creation to avoid people crippling their character at the very beginning. This boost makes every new character coming in a Freshman tier character, and means that Beginner Tier characters will only exist as NPCs from now on.
The new character creation load-out in terms of abilities will look like this:
One E rank Semblance
One F rank weapon
550 Experience to use as the user wants spread amongst combat and non-combat abilities. (75 for F rank combat, 275 for E rank)
This is the second experience progression for new players, and is roughly six months after the first one. This is a bigger jump than last time, but not by very much. Being consistently active and participating in events is still the best way to progress, and will continue to be for the duration of The Remnant Project.
For existing characters, this may or may not have any impact at all.
For characters participating in Event 3 there are no changes. This does not affect you, and your rewards from EP alone are higher than this boost. The only exception to this is if your character was accepted in October 2019 or later, in which case if you are below 200 earned experience you can claim a benefit of one hundred experience immediately. This is done because those are very new characters anyway and I have zero problem giving them an extra boost so nobody feels like they were penalized for making a character immediately before this change and it rewards newer players who decided to be a part of the current site event.
For characters not participating in Event 3 you will get at least some benefit out of this.
If your character has less than 100 earned experience from threads/XP, you can claim the 200 XP that new players get simply by posting in your own progression thread.

If your character’s total earned experience is above 200 your character will receive one free F-ranked combat ability with this update regardless of earned XP as long as you did not participate in the third event. This can be substituted for 2 non-combat abilities at user preference.
For your individual progression threads, instead of noting experience deducted just have the phrase July Progression Update in place of the XP you would normally give up for this stuff.
All documents should be updated and if there is any 'now incorrect due to this announcement' wording in any of the documents please report it so I can fix it.
