Flower Tokens Version 3.0

Flower Tokens 3.0 focuses on rewarding users for their effort and quality rather than "Mothcat-count", which was how the previous system worked. It also balances commission/trade/YCH numbers.

What you can expect from 3.0:

  • Higher token rewards from personal/original/more detailed art
  • Lower token rewards from reused lineart/art
  • No token rewards from trades and base lineart
  • EXCEPT! If it's base lineart that you don't plan on using again, in which case:
  • F2U bases will earn tokens ONLY if you don't take commissions on them as well
  • P2U bases will earn tokens ONLY if you don't take commissions on them as well
  • Doing requests on F2U bases will earn you YCH rates
  • YCH bases will receive 0
  • Making a base and claiming rewards for it, then charging users later for commissions will result in a penalty rate where you receive 0 for the first commissioned piece
  • Commission rates will be rewarded relative to everything listed above

Earning Flower Tokens

Flower Tokens can be earned from drawing Mothcats-related art.

  • Mothcats admins manually distribute Flower Tokens following this spreadsheet (also called the "queue")
  • You can only claim tokens for artwork within the month it is posted
  • The queue "resets" every month so it does not become too long
  • There is a one-week grace period to claim missed tokens for art posted within the last week of each month
  • Flower Tokens can be earned for Mothcat-related personal art, commissions, and trades
  • Flower Tokens cannot be purchased with real-life currency
  • Flower Tokens can be spent at the Mothcat Market
  • Flower Tokens are automatically converted to the next "tier" once the minimum is reached (i.e. 10 copper tokens will be automatically converted to 1 silver token)


To earn Flower Tokens from commissions as the recipient OR as a participant of a collaboration:

  • Your name and relation must be clearly stated in the artist description
  • The title of the deviation must be tagged in some way, e.g., [C] for a commission
  • If these are not stated, you will not earn credit for the piece you commissioned and we will not edit it later on


The following factors are taken into account with this updated system:

  • Number of Mothcats drawn
  • "Style" of the artwork
  • Rough sketches will receive less than crisp, shaded drawings
  • "Scale" of the artwork
  • Larger, more detailed artwork will receive more Flower Tokens
  • Reused lineart and/or artwork
  • The more reused, the less it earns
