Specs for the app the "Personal System"

Introduction to Quests & Progression

The questing and progression in Personal System are meant to turn real life into a personal RPG that actually matters. There is no grind for the sake of grinding. The point is consistent growth you can see on the character sheet.

You do not need a baseline quiz to start. All seven attributes begin at Rank I, all skills begin at Initiate 1, and your Overall Adventurer Rank begins at I. Real quest data moves the numbers from there.

Every day the System aims to keep you moving without flooding you. You can have up to three active quests at a time. Quests are tagged Body, Mind, or Spirit, and the System tries to offer one from each when possible. There is a hard daily limit of three completed quests.

When a slot is open, you choose a category and receive a quest from that category. Categories include Physical/Body, Craft & Making, Learning & Study, Stewardship & Care, Recovery & Regulation, Social, and Preparedness.

If you already did the work before that quest was assigned, you can record it from the Manual and still receive full XP. Only quests already listed in the Manual can be recorded. Waiting for an assignment should not stop you from doing the work.

Quest Mechanics

Here is what you need to know about quests in Personal System:

You may have a maximum of three active quests at any time.

When you complete a quest, the slot opens immediately so you can choose the next category.

Each accepted quest has a completion window of five to seven days, depending on the quest type.

The maximum number of quests you can complete in a day is three.

If you meet the weekly required number of quests, there is no penalty.

If you do not meet the weekly required number, a flat 20% XP penalty is applied to the stats and skills of accepted quests that were not completed that week. Repeated misses can contribute to a rank-down over time.

Completed quests give XP to the attributes and skills listed on that quest. Skill XP is about 35% of the quest’s Base XP.

You can record a Manual quest you already completed even if it is not currently assigned. That still awards full XP and still counts toward the daily and weekly limits. The same quest cannot be recorded more than once in the same day.

Progression Mechanics

Attributes use Adventurer-style ranks: I → H → G → F → E → D → C → B → A → S.

• Each attribute has its own XP. Completing a quest adds only the amounts listed for that quest.

Skills use stages: Initiate → Apprentice → Journeyman → Adept → Master.

• Inside each stage, a skill levels from 1 to 10. XP fills one level at a time. A skill only moves to the next stage after level 10 of the current stage is complete. Stars under a skill show completed stages.

Overall Adventurer Rank is based on the average of the seven attributes, plus a breadth requirement: since the last overall rank-up, you need completions in at least three different quest categories, with at least two completions in each of those categories.

Every eight weeks, the System Assessment reviews quest history and consistency. Ranks can be raised, held, or lowered. Rank-downs are buffered and only happen with clear, sustained under-performance.

Foundation is separate from quests. It does not award XP. Its job is to protect your ranks through basic daily and weekly maintenance.

Progress is meant to be slow and satisfying. Small completed actions add up over weeks and months into real rank and stage changes. It should feel like an adventurer’s record, not a cold checklist.

Specs for the app "The System"

Introduction to Quests & Progression

The questing and progression in The System feel like turning your real life into a personal RPG that actually matters — no grind for the sake of grinding, just meaningful growth.

You start with a quick baseline quiz that sets your starting stats in the 7 core attributes: Strength, Agility, Vitality, Intellect, Wisdom, Willpower, and Charisma. So right from day one, your character sheet already reflects you — not some generic zero.

Every day you can get a mix of quests:

• Dailies — small, repeatable habits (drink water, walk 10k steps, meditate 10 min, no sugar, etc.)

• Weeklies — bigger commitments (read 50 pages, cook a healthy meal, call a friend)

• Story quests — seasonal or arc-based narratives that tie into real-world moments (gratitude in autumn, hope in winter)

• Custom quests — you make your own (and they count just as much)

When you complete a quest, you earn XP that goes straight into the attribute it’s tied to (e.g., a workout quest boosts Strength + a bit of Agility). As you level individual attributes, you unlock little rewards: badges, titles, and more that makes your phone feel like a different world.

The overall progression is cumulative — your total attribute XP across all seven stats determines your global level. It’s slow and satisfying: small daily actions add up over weeks and months into real, permanent milestones (Level 10, Level 20, and someday Level 50) makes it feel like a genuine lifetime achievement by going up in levels.

What makes it different from other habit trackers is the feeling — it’s not a cold checklist. It’s your life framed as an epic journey. Every time you hit a new level, earn a badge, or unlock a shiny name cosmetic, it feels like progress in a game — but the progress is real, in you.

Quest Mechanics

Choose quests from all your skills or from only certain skills, the choices are yours. Here is what you need to know about quests and quest mechanics.

• You can have a max of 3 quests per skill active at one time.

• The max number of quests you can do in a day (24hrs) is 10 quests per skill.

• Story quests can only be done ONCE and will not show again. We will have more story quests being added as we progress with development.

• Completed quest give XP to both the skill and attribute listen in the quest, as well as other rewards (coins, titles, and more)

• CUSTOM QUESTS: Easy daily quests should take about 20 minutes or less to complete. Medium daily quests will take between 20-60 minutes to complete. Hard daily quests will take between 60 minutes or more. Remember this for when you are thinking about creating custom quests and are not sure which difficulty level you should pick. All custom quests are considered daily quests.

Progression Mechanics

You can keep track of you progression by using the Progress screen. This will show you what XP you have earned and where it all went. Y
