    The collector’s track $4 per issue

    A proposed one-time pass for one issue. Earlier visits would count if you joined later. Each month brings a new route, and an issue you unlock would stay available to finish.

    1. First stop · Tide Ledger, a shelf divider.
    2. Second stop · Harbor Postmark, a profile stamp.
    3. Third stop · Vermilion Dispatch, the Cabinet frame in the fitting room.

    Completed cosmetics would stay in your collection. This preview shows your visits. The paid rewards have not been issued.

    03 / Membership & hosting

    For collectors and hosts

    Individual membership

    Prometheus Plus

    $6 / month

    Name a second three-piece shelf, host one private Group and one public Forum, and keep the field issue released during each paid month.

    Proposed terms. At the end of a paid term the extra shelf would be tucked away with its layout saved. Your earned pieces, purchased frames and included issues would stay yours.

    Facilitator license

    Reading Circle

    How would Shop Salt work?

    You earn Salt for achievements and use it to collect Hardware. The proposal adds a separate Shop Salt balance for original shop cosmetics. Your earned Salt, numbered Hardware, research credit and moderation roles follow their existing rules.

    At the proposed price, 100 Shop Salt would cost $1. Indigo Bookcloth would cost $3 directly or 300 Shop Salt. You could get exactly 300 for $3, with no leftover balance. The two balances would be labeled separately, and Shop Salt would never satisfy an earned requirement.
