🤝 Mentor System

TempestCO supports normal in-game mentor relations with a website referral check before a new relation is created.

Relationship Rules

• A player can have one mentor.
• A mentor cannot add the same apprentice twice.
• An apprentice who already has a mentor is rejected.
• Relations are stored in the server database and synchronized to the involved game sessions when available.
• A relation can be removed through the mentor actions.
• Offline relation records are supported; do not treat the target-online state as a universal requirement.

Referral Validation

The relation request is accepted only when referral validation is enabled and both players resolve to linked website users for the server. The website users must be different, the apprentice’s website user must have been registered through the mentor’s referral code, and none of the game accounts linked to that referred website user may already have a mentor relation.

This is stricter than simply being in the same guild or selecting a player from the mentor window. This page does not define a public referral-code registration procedure; follow the website’s current account flow.

Common Failures

A request can fail because:

• the target is invalid or is the mentor themself;
• either game account lacks a linked website account;
• both accounts resolve to the same website user;
• the target was not registered through the mentor’s referral code;
• the referred website user already has a linked apprentice relation;
• the target already has a mentor or is already the mentor’s apprentice; or
• referral validation is unavailable.

Not Proven Here

No public mentor reward table, level requirement, online-presence requirement, or staff sanction policy is established here. Do not add those as universal rules without separate verification.
