STEP-BY-STEP
Step 1: see the current lion the collector is seeking.
Step 2: make sure the lion you will surrender to the collector is NOT younger than 2 months and NOT older than 8 years and fits all the requirements.
Step 3: Buy the lion from TC, get one from the tree, giveaway chat, or one laying around in your pride. He doesn’t care how you get the lion.
Step 4: go back to the clans message and see what the exchange rate is. this can be found at the ‘current collector quest’ clickable link in the clan description
Step 5: go to the clan hoard and go through the tabs and find a item you like regarding the exchange rate.
Step 6:
Once you decide what you want and you have enough points for that particular item, send a trade or transfer towards one of the clan admins NOT the owner. please state what item you want and what page of the clan hoard it is on if no items are listed the admin will assume you are saving points.
IF saving your points just send the lions straight to a admin stating “saving these points x number of points. Then go ahead to the “saved points” forum and update/write how many points you have saved. When you wish to use these saved up points you can just DM a admin, and once the points have been soent edit your original message
Step 7: a admin will offer the item you are exchanging for the lions on your trade or will transfer the item over if you have transferred the lions.
Step 8: you will accept the offer and you will receive your item(s) and the admin will receive your lions. (TRADE ONLY) if transferring the admin will send the items directly to you after you have transferred them.
Step 10: once the admin has the lion they will kill it. Taking it away from the game and market. But leaving the original owner with a gift.
IF YOUR ITEM HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN WE WILL DM YOU AND ASK FOR YOU TO PICK ANOTHER ITEM.
