UPDDATE // the new tier and discord are live!
🕑 Added 2022-10-02 07:32:39 +0000 UTCHello lovely Patrons! I’m so excited to inform you that the new tier is now live! If you were signed up to the basic tier, you are now a Spark ($5) patron. You can choose to upgrade to the Flame ($10) tier if you want to! Next to that, you can now join the Discord server!
This post will run you through the details of how to upgrade your tier and join the discord server, so keep scrolling if you want to know more!
01 // UPGRADE TO FLAME TIER
Flame tier members will get monthly challenges, Q&A sessions, access to the full tutorial backlog, and get to do a special DTIYS challenge!
If you want to upgrade, go through the steps outlined here (also includes info for annual members): https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000126286-Editing-your-membership You should only be charged the difference between the higher tier and your current tier.
02 // JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER
Both Spark and Flame tier members can now join the discord server! If you’re not a Discord member and want to join the server, you can sign up for Discord here: https://discord.com/
To connect your Discord account to your Patreon, check out the Patreon support doc here: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/212052266-How-do-I-get-my-Discord-Rewards-
If you’ve connected your discord account but you still don’t have access, try these troubleshooting steps: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002341603
In order to interact in the discord server, you have to agree to the rules in the server guide first by clicking on the thumbs up emoji at the bottom of the server guide. So be sure to do that first once you’re in!
// FAQ //
What is going on?
I have added a new tier to the patreon, created a discord server, and made some changes to tutorial access for the basic tier. This was announced back in August. You can find out more about these changes here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/update-new-tier-70685254
I’m an annual member but I don’t want to upgrade. Will I lose access to the tutorials?
Annual members will continue to receive a list with links to all of the tutorial videos for the remaining duration of their annual memberships. You will lose access to some of the tutorials in the feed, but you’ll be able to watch them through the external links that I send out each month. Through this system, you will continue to retain access to all of the tutorials until your annual membership is up.
I’m in the server but can’t interact anywhere. What’s going on?
First of all, make sure that you agreed to the rules by clicking on the thumbs up emoji in the server guide! Second of all, if you made any changes to your tier after joining the serer, you have to agree to the rules a second time in order to interact. So make sure you un-click and re-click that emoji to agree to the rules again! After that, you should be able to interact in the channels.
Why do I need to verify my phone before joining the server?
This is a safety measure we have in place to ensure that the server isn’t vulnerable to attacks or spam. We are making it a requirement for all members to verify their phones in order to interact in this server.
I'm a patron and I don’t want to go through the steps to link my discord account to my patreon account. Can you just send me the link or an invite for the Discord?
Unfortunately that wouldn't work. Access is restricted unless you're invited through Patreon/Discord's system, so please follow the steps outlined above in order to gain access to the server!
As always, let me know if you have any questions or issues! ❤

Thank you but we have read that post, which has too little info. Like do we get feedback from you in the challenges? What are the differences between the two challenges? Do we get challenge specific rewards?
Marie
thank you Lois!! your mods already helped yesterday :) it’s all worked out now and you reacted to my frog drawing! thanks again for the help offer
Loish
hey marie! it could be a number of issues. first of all, try to disconnect and reconnect your discord to your patreon account. second of all, make sure you agree to the rules by clicking on the thumbs up emoji in the server guide! you should be able to interact in that case. feel free to DM me if you have any issues after these steps!
Loish
hey! there is more information about which specific rewards you get for each tier here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/update-new-tier-70685254. basically the main difference from the basic tier is that you get a monthly drawing challenge, access to the full backlog, and a monthly Q&A session.
What are the monthly challenges and DTIYS like? Many of us are hesitating whether to join the new tier because we don't know how the new rewards compare to the existing tier. Please let us know!
Marie
I’m in the discord but it says channel locked on all tabs?🥹
Loish
hey luniara! you should have automatically been invited / added, and if not it might help to disconnect & reconnect your discord account to your patreon account!
Loish
you should get one directly from patreon! you need to sign up through the invite they send, otherwise you won't be assigned the right roles in the server.
Sandra Elderberry
So excited 💖✨Don’t we need a discord invite link to join the particular server?
Luniara

I already had discord connected to Patreon and I couldn't get in the server. Disconnecting and reconnecting the discord account from Patreon worked. Just saying in case anyone runs into this problem <3
