Creator Chronicles Mood, Donations & Departures

Mood rules depend on difficulty, traits and activity. Beginner maintains good Mood; other modes need closer attention to current descriptions, dungeon participation and your members' working conditions.

Current reference

What the official sources confirm

  • Beginner's good-Mood rule comes from v1.02.
  • Emotionless members avoid the time-passing Mood penalty since v1.05.
  • v1.06 sets the forty-day nonparticipation penalty to −5 Mood for thirty days and prevents same-or-lower-tier reapplication after expiry.
  • Mood influences donations and can enable extra dungeon gathering for certain professions.

Practical use

What to do next

  1. 01

    Read the difficulty-specific Mood tooltip first.

  2. 02

    Use role and work filters to identify members left out of your normal rotation.

  3. 03

    Separate a trait exemption from a rule that applies to everyone.

  4. 04

    Record a member's actual Mood and recent activity before blaming a gift or a dungeon.

Diagnose which Mood rule applies

First record difficulty and the member's Personality. Beginner's good-Mood rule and Emotionless's time-decay exception mean that the same elapsed time need not produce the same result for two members. The documented nonparticipation event uses a forty-day absence and a thirty-day penalty duration; compare the activity history rather than assuming every low-Mood member has that event.

Donations are a separate consequence involving Mood and Personality, not a fixed daily salary. Keep observed donations in a log if you want to compare members. A useful record contains the member, time, current Mood, Personality and donated item or gold, plus any other simultaneous town-income event.
