Welcome to our beautiful Habitica party wiki page! We are the Mental Health Warriors Unite, an active English-speaking party of Habiticians dedicated to mental health. This party is for people who are battling with their mental health, disorder and/or illness (for example, anxiety and depression, schizophrenia, eating disorders, etc.) and seek a supportive and understanding group of people. In the Mental Health Warriors Unite, they can build a place that is real and close enough to be open about the struggles and challenges they are facing while remaining to be a positive force for hope.
"If you change I to we, Illness becomes wellness."
Introduction
Party Rules
Next, to the Habitca Community Guidelines, the Mental Health Warriors Unite also has some rules to keep it a safe space for every party member. The party rules are as follows:
- Be respectful.
- Do not start a quest unless it is up next in the Quest Queue section.
- If you are participating in a boss quest and have missed some dailies, please spend the night in the Inn to avoid harming your party members. A single person can kill the entire party if they have missed enough dailies. Some bosses do more damage than others, and it is reasonable that a high-level boss could deal over 50 HP damage at once when a single member missed their dailies.
- If you need to take a break from Habitica, let the party leader know via private message. Members who have been inactive for three months (or more) without an explanation are removed from the party. They are still welcome to come back to the party if there is room.
- And of course, try to have fun and show off your costumes and the pets and mounts you've raised!
History
It was the 33rd day into Earth's winter of 2019 when, on January 22nd, the party received the name Mental Health Warriors Unite. Just like the Habitica Naming Day, the brave warriors celebrate the Party Naming Day with a lot of joy and cake.
Achievements
Celebrate the wins of the party! The warriors came so far since the start of the party, that they decided that a little success can't hurt anybody, so be sure to check the table below for the party achievements. You may not see them physically in Habitica, but that doesn't mean they don't exist!
Keep in mind that the achievement icons are borrowed from actual Habitica achievements, but are used for a different purpose here.
| Icon | Name | Times Completed |

Gem Sponsors
Not all members have a subscription for Habitica, and it is not needed to be a part of this party. However, sometimes, we are searching for contributors who want to sponsor a new party challenge or new (pet) quests by donating gems. To make the search sponsors easier, members who wish to be a gem sponsor can add themselves to the list. This way, other members know who they can contact to ask for gem sponsoring without feeling burdened.
- titānia
- Blackbird Scraps
- PerfectNightmare
Please keep in mind that it is a violation of the Community Guidelines to ask for a gift of gems. You can ask if a member wants to sponsor your idea, but everyone is still free to refuse.
Quests & the Quest Queue
This is an attempt to democratize the process of deciding which quests our party will go on. If anyone is dissatisfied with the current arrangement or has ideas about how to improve upon it, please send a PM to asl/@x4ojM to let me know!
How It Works
- Party members let me (asl/@x4ojM) know what quests they own by sending me (asl/@x4ojM) PMs.
- I create a list of quests available to the party and post it on this wiki page (see below).
- People can VOTE (click for instructions) for the quests in those lists.
- Those votes, combined with feedback gathered from party chat and logistical concerns are used to generate the Quest Queue. The Quest Queue lists which quests the group has decided they want to go on next.
- If you are the owner of a quest that is coming up soon in the queue, I (asl/@x4ojM) will send you a PM letting you know a day or two in advance that your quest will be coming up and giving you info on when to start it.
The Quest Queue (current as of 01/22/2021):
- CURRENT: Mayhem in Mistiflying Part 1 (Boss 500)
- 1) Parrot (Boss 600)
- 2) Gryphon (Boss 300)
- 3) Mayhem in Mistiflying Part 2 (collection)
- 4) Spider (Boss 400)
- 5) Penguin (Boss 400)

Party Challenges
Current Party Challenges
1. PRIVATE PROFILES - ongoing, guaranteed gems to every participant created by asl @x4ojM (part 1) with collaboration from Little Bear (Jen) @JenieB (parts 2 & 3), gem sponsor: Little Bear (Jen) @JenieB
Party members have expressed a desire for a having a way to share information about themselves that cannot be accessed by anyone outside our party. This long awaited feature has finally arrived.
Please share with us information that lets us know who you are and what struggles have brought you to this party. The point of these profiles is multiple. First, to let us all get to know each other a little better so we can empathize with each other's struggles, know some each others situations and histories, celebrate each others strengths and achievements, and learn some of that important other stuff too: like who owns cats, who loves anime, who speaks another language. Second this is a channel for the healing that comes from speaking openly, an outlet to tell our stories (as much or as little of them as we choose) in our own words without fear of judgement.
These 2 goals are embodied by part 1 of the challenge (as it is laid out in the official challenge description). Parts 2 and 3 of the challenge were added to address a Third goal: To try to figure out how can we best help each other. We may not even know what we want or need from this party or in general, but Parts 2 and 3 ask members to consider some questions, and try to provide at least some brief answers.
Completing the challenge involves writing responses to at least part 1, formatting your answers according to instructions in the official challenge description to ensure privacy, then telling me where your answers are, what your preferred pronouns are and what timezone you're in. If you only want to write for Part 1 you will still get 1 gem. If you write responses to all 3 parts, you will get 2 gems.
2. SHARING SAT/SUN/MON - recreated each week so gems AND achievement badges can be awarded to a random participant each week creator: Little Bear (Jen) @JenieB, gem sponsor: Little Bear (Jen) @JenieB, administrator: Antonbury @Antonbury
Questions every weekend to share with each other what we have accomplished, a goal for the following week, and a different fun fact about ourselves each week. Posting positive comments in party chat throughout the entire week is also encouraged in this challenge. This challenge has been a perennial favorite since it was first introduced in early February of 2019. In order for achievement badges to be awarded to winners, a new version of this challenge is created each week, so remember to join the new challenge every week!
3. FANCY FRIDAYS - gems awarded each week creator: asl @x4ojM, gem sponsor: @Rachael2Worlds, administrator: asl @x4ojM
Fun is the keyword here! This challenge is all about dressing up your avatar and telling the party about the scene you created (see some example scene descriptions HERE ). Sign up now for a chance at gems each week (winner chosen by random.org).
4. Mid-Week Check-In Challenge - gems awarded each week creator: asl @x4ojM, gem sponsor: @Kyrison, administrator: @Rachael2Worlds
Helping each other accomplish the goals we set during the "Sharing Sat/Sun/Mon" challenge (or any other weekly goals you set for yourself) by keeping each other accountable and setting up a habit to help remind ourselves of the goal so we don't simply forget! Whether you've met your goal every day or none of the days, whether you've completed it or made no progress at all. You have an equal chance of winning the challenge regardless of your progress (or lack thereof) - the challenge is simply to report to the party and let us know in party chat how things are going. If they're going well, we can congratulate you; if you're struggling, we might be able to offer suggestions (or at least condolences and empathy).
5. "LIBRARY OF..." - Resources disguised as challenges! creators: kim @lynxicon & Little Bear (Jen) @JenieB, administrator: kim @lynxicon
This set of 4 challenges (Library of dailies; Library of habits; Library of rewards; and Library of Gamified Tasks) are not meant to be joined!
Rather the challenges serve as a place to store compiled lists of the dailies, habits, custom rewards, and tasks with "gamified" wording that different party members use and have found to be helpful to them. Look at the lists to get ideas for things that you might want to add to your own tasks or set as a custom reward for yourself. If there is a habit, daily, gamified task, or custom reward that YOU use that ISN'T on the lists, send a PM to @lynxicon and she can add it to the list for others to benefit from!
Old Party Challenges
1. BUILDING BATTLE BUDDIES (Our party's very first challenge!!) [now closed - superceded by PRIVATE PROFILES (we still want to know your preferred pronouns, so please tell us by participating in the new PRIVATE PROFILES challenge!!)] created by Little Bear (Jen) @JenieB
Out of the blue I received a PM from someone asking if I knew of a good party focused on mental health. That question lead to the creation of this party as well as the first challenge. BUILDING BATTLE BUDDIES was designed to help the party get to know each other, figure out how to best help each other, and establish what we were all looking for in a party. To win a gem, post something from each of these 3 topics in party chat. AWARD WINNERS INCLUDED: Neala - 1 extra gem for being first to complete challenge, Stevie Oberg, Rain (Rose), x4ojM, Kyrison - donated gem back to party,
2. PREFERRED PRONOUNS [now closed - superceded by PRIVATE PROFILES (we still want to know your preferred pronouns, so please tell us by participating in the new PRIVATE PROFILES challenge!!)] created by asl @x4ojM
Pronouns are important, and I try never to assume what pronouns I should use to refer to someone based on what their username is or what their avatar looks like, so I’d appreciate it if you all let me know how you want to be referred to: as she/her, he/him, they/them, ze/zir, or something else. Our party wiki page has a member list you can add yourself to, and there's a spot there for stating your preferred pronouns. Please add yourself and your pronouns to the list!
3. FORGING CHALLENGES [now closed, but if you have any ideas for future challenges you'd like to see please still tell @JenieB what they are in a PM] created by Little Bear (Jen) @JenieB
This challenge was created to get some ideas and teams together to create future challenges.
Misc. Habitica Resources
Avatar Preview Tool
There is a tool online that lets you preview any pet/mount/background/equipment/etc that you want. And they have all the items (including magical potion pets/mounts) available for preview as soon as they are available in-game (which means they have newly released magical potion pets/mounts available for preview BEFORE the pictures of them get added to the wiki). Seeing what new magical potion animals look like before images of them are posted on the wiki is what most people in the party seem to use the tool for.
Personally I use it most often to preview what certain scenes might look like against backgrounds I have not bought yet to help me decide if I really want to buy the backgrounds or not. Also, sometimes I use the tool to generate random avatar scenes (this happens whenever you reload the page, OR when you click the “randomize” button at the bottom of the page) just because they can be amusing to look at.
The “Avatar Preview Tool” is located at https://crookedneighbor.github.io/habitica-avatar/
Some IMPORTANT tips:
- You don't have to select every detail for the scene you create. If you want to do something like see what new magical pets look like you can leave everything else alone (the options will just remain set to the random choices the site loaded them with) and just choose the pet/mount you want to see, click the "Make Avatar" at the bottom. If you are on mobile, you will then have to scroll back up and to the right to actually see the result. (This used to be the case on computer browsers as well, but that issue has recently been fixed for most computer browsers).
- There are a LOT of choices in the pets/mounts selection menus, so it can be hard to find the one you want, but they are organized in a particular order - first comes the “none” option, then the basic pets/mounts in the basic hatching potion colors, then come the basic pets/mounts in all of the magical hatching potion colors (in order by when the potion was released - so a brand new potion would be the very last option listed for that animal), then come the quest pets/mounts, and lastly the "special" things like the Invisible Aether mount or the jackalope pet. [NOTE: Order may be subject to change! In the past, the basic pets/mounts were all grouped together, so the list started with “none” then “base wolf” and went on to list all the basic hatching potion versions of wolf followed immediately by the magical hatching potions for wolf. Now, the basic pets/mounts are separated: the basic colors of wolf are followed by the basic colors of tiger, and then panda, and so on, with the magical hatching potions for wolf starting after all the basic colors of all the basic animals.]
