Type:	Competition
[ Source ]

Crescents are awarded for placing in non-Vendetta competitions. Cast from hollinium in the shape of the dark star eclipsing the former Brotherhood homeworld of Antei. Each crescent is studded with jewels varying from quartz to diamond, dependent upon its value. Imbued with dark energy, these jewels are believed to be taken from the stores of Sith Lord Okemi. The most active members of the Brotherhood possess quite a collection of crescents.

Tiering

Crescents are automatically processed by the database when a competition is judged and closed. The following outlines the appropriate crescent tier based on the target unit:

Tier	Target Unit	Upgrades at
Tier 1 Crescents	DC-run DJB-Wide Competitions	No Upgrade
Tier 2 Crescents	Non-DC DJB-Wide Competitions	10 Participants
Tier 3 Crescents	Clan Competitions	10 Participants
Tier 4 Crescents	House Competitions	10 Participants
Tier 5 Crescents	Battle Team Competitions	5 Participants

Additionally, crescent tiers scale as follows:

• Upgrade one tier at a scaling threshold of participation (crescents may only upgrade once per competition)
• Parent competitions with three or more sub-competitions run one tier higher than their sub-competitions
