The following requirements have been set forth as the path for new members to follow on their journey to [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. Completing the tasks indicated in each of the following steps will qualify a member for promotion – however, these steps are not the only requirement, the Brotherhood also expects all of its members to be consistently active contributors. Once a member has completed the tasks indicated in any individual step, their leaders will determine if they have also met the activity standard - if so, the leader will then send a promotion recommendation to the [[Master at Arms]]. The activity standard threshold is very low: as long as a member is consistently active at an acceptable level (consistent being the key), this requirement will be met.
 
The purpose of these various requirements is to provide a solid base of knowledge for new members that will maintain the fun environment we strive to foster. The tasks should be completed naturally while members enjoying themselves, not merely sprinting through them as if they were a checklist.
 
Clan and House leaders:
Please do not hesitate to consult with the Master at Arms if you need help with these requirements. However always get in touch with other leaders within your Clan first: they may be able to provide the assistance you're looking for.

== Notes ==
 
* For the purposes of counting competitions, each event in a feud or war counts as one competition. The rule of thumb is that if you can get a crescent or a novae for it then it counts as a competition.
* If you are already in a leadership position within your Clan and are responsible for running competitions and therefore cannot participate in as many, running competitions will suffice to cover the participation in a competition requirements for these promotion requirements. Leaders, please explain this to me in the promotion request.
* If you are engaging in other activities not mentioned in the above requirements (such as assisting your leader with leadership tasks or working on Clan-improvement tasks) you may be rewarded for your work with a merit medal but such activities are not allowed as substitutes for the requirements above.
* Shadow Academy course usage cannot be "double-dipped" except for those courses that are also used in separate requirements. Dark Brotherhood Basics may only be used once for the Novice promotion.
