Daily Check-In Incentives

'''This page describes a feature that is not live yet. Wiki editors are working to complete this page. A Bailey message will appear in Habitica when the feature is released.'''

Daily Check-In Incentives are a feature designed to reward players for logging in to Habitica each day. For every day that players check in, their check-in counter will increase. Once a player has checked in for a certain number of days, they will receive a reward.

How it Works
On each day a player checks in to Habitica, their check-in counter will go up. When the check-in counter reaches certain numbers of days, the player will be given a prize. This feature is available on both the website and iOS and Android mobile apps, although currently the pop-ups announcing prizes do not display on the mobile apps. This feature will be added in the future, but until then, mobile users will accrue the prizes silently.

Check-In Counter Mechanics
The check-in counter uses Cron to count the days, but there are safeguards in place to prevent players from changing their Cron to unfairly cheat the system.

The counter only began to count check-ins after the feature was introduced, so the counters started at zero for all players who were using Habitica before that time.

The counter will never be reset. Thus, the Daily Check-In feature rewards players for every day during which they use Habitica, even if they miss a few days, rather than rewarding them for checking in consecutively, like streaks. This encourages players to check back in after an absence from Habitica.

Players will be rewarded, and their check-in counter will increase, regardless of whether or not they are resting in the Inn.

Prizes
Prizes will start out being awarded often and become less frequent over time.

Prizes are awarded when Cron runs on applicable days. When this happens, the player will see a notification that informs them of how many times they have checked in, their prize, and how far away their next check-in prize is.

Prizes include special equipment, new quest scrolls, food, and unique hatching potions. Currently, only the first 50 prizes have been created (and are shown below). Others will be added below once they are released.
