Questions & Answers
Upper case of a color refers to the Color list, lower case refers to all shades of that color - they're tagged 'hue: (color)'. Colors and shades are linked appropriately.
What counts as a daily or weekly supply? Daily supplies are: Calendar Page, Brush, Acrylics, Stain, Stickers, Fabric, Yarn, Feathers, Beading Wire, Glitter, and Glue. Weekly supplies are: Watercolors and Chalk. Depending on how often the source updates, a Palette Knife, Oil, or Modeling Clay may also be daily or weekly. Color of the Day is a color, not a supply, so doesn't count.
Can I complete a Masterpiece multiple times? Yes, as long as none of the Colors are a repeat of the former time (unless you're doing a Retouch of that Color)
Can I use the same piece multiple times for a Masterpiece? Yes. For example, for a Diorama, if you have a piece that's a Portrait, an Eraser, and a Charcoal, you can use it for all three requirements.
Do Paint-by-Numbers, Bichromatics, and Tapestries count toward Color lists for Masterpieces? Absolutely, yes they do. Only Saturations don't count.
What are the restrictions on Prototype? There isn't really one: basically if you're the first to use the tag (or request the tag in the case of Colors), you've earned it. So Saturations count for Colors for the Prototype accomplishment, as well as any other first use of the Color. You don't have to complete the Color to earn a Prototype.
How does upgrading a Masterpiece work? Complete each one in turn and then you can go back to the beginning of the series. The same pieces are encouraged to be used for all of the upgrades. For example, you'd complete a Sampler with ten different Supplies or Styles, do ten more to complete Supply Box, and then ten more to complete The Stash. Then you'd go back to the beginning and start with Sampler again.
To upgrade Craft Room/Craft Store or Portfolio/Art Studio, the number of times you need to use a supply or style (respectively) increases by two with each run through and both levels need to be completed. For example, the first time you do Craft Room and Craft Store, you need to use the supplies twice. Then you need to use 15 supplies four times for a second Craft Room and 25 supplies four times for a second Craft Store, before you can earn a third Craft Room for using 15 supplies six times.
Can I suggest Masterpieces? Yes, post about it in rainbowlounge. However we currently have 30 Masterpieces and many of them have never been earned yet, so it'll have to be a really good suggestion. Masterpieces should require between 15 and 30 supplies, styles, and/or colors.
