Hogwarts RP Donation Options

In-Game V.I.P. Access - $30 USD

Spoiler: V.I.P. Benefits and Information

VIP is our sole regulated donation option on the Hogwarts RP server, it requires a one time donation, and is a permanent gift. VIP gives you access to a VIP chat tag, all chat emotes/access to all chat perks like text colors/effects, access to nearly every job on the server, the ability to play as any house job at any time. This ability essentially gives you the choice of what classes to attend (between the two current classes), giving you the advantage over players who are not VIP since they are stuck to only one house and can only attend what class that house currently has on the class system, thus allowing you learn spells faster, and or level up faster via obtaining homework more frequently, while also allowing you to choose between which to get in certain instances. If the two current classes are a spell class, and an exp giving class, you can choose which to grab (between homework aka exp or the spell in the spell class), or if it's two spell classes currently, you can choose which spell (that's chosen by the teacher to be taught) from either of the current classes you'd prefer to learn so long as you switch to one of the house jobs that currently has that class, when non VIP players can not. 39 VIP exclusive unique jobs, some with custom SWEPs, and even some with spells that are only available via those jobs. You will receive 5 VIP exclusive spells, Avis, Purple Firecrackers, Engorgio, Bubblius, and Color Lumos. Lastly, you will be rewarded an early unlock of ALL prestige wand unlocks that can be earned via prestiging.

Spoiler: Custom Job Information

Custom Job Whitelists - USD (Varied)

Spoiler: Custom Job Whitelist Information

Whether or not you can whitelist to an already existing custom job is entirely at the discretion of the owner of the desired custom job. It is your responsibility to find, and contact the owner of the custom job you are interested in. Do be wary, however, if the job is not already 'open' (explained below) it is unlikely the owner will allow whitelists to the job, especially if they do not know you personally. We respect the privacy of custom job owners, so, unfortunately, no direct list of custom job owners will be provided. However, if you manage to track the owner of a job you are interested in, and they give you permission to donate to whitelist to their custom job, you can send proof of approval to The Guy's business email at: theguy@starbystargaming.com With this proof, you will be provided with a response of the donation cost/value of the job you were approved for. Whitelists to existing custom job's donation costs also vary per job. The factors that determine cost are: Rarity of allowed whitelists, demand of job, job freedom and abilities, and the amount of current whitelisted persons. Since all these factors are in play, the cost of whitelisting to a job is subject to change anytime. Lastly, when you donate for whitelist to a custom job you were approved for, you are acknowledging the risks involved. These risks are, and not limited to, the job potentially being removed due to the owner's inactivity and your whitelist to the job being obviously lost for this purpose, or, due to lack of existing whitelists on the job, the job is removed with no warning to the whitelisted persons.

There is, however, a small list of custom jobs that are 'open' and available to donate for whitelist to at any time, without the consent of the owner of the custom job. This is either because the owner has lost their ownership of the job, and no new owner will be provided, or, at the discretion of the job owner, the job has been opened for whitelists. The current list of custom jobs that do not require consent from the owner to be whitelisted to are:

Daily Prophet Journalist - $10 USD
Warlock - $25 USD
Yogi the Metamorphmagus - $15 USD
Chopper the Dragon - $10 USD
Hufflepuff Overwatch - $25 USD
Metamorphmagus - $20 USD
Wizengamot Justice - $10 USD
Witch of the Forest - $25 USD
Improper Use of Magic Office - $15 USD
Dark Animagus Rogue - $20 USD
Heir of Ravenclaw - $25 USD
Horcrux Hunter - $25 USD
Sir Cadogan - $15 USD

You are welcome to periodically check back to this page, as any time a custom job is opened for whitelists, it will be added to the above list. If you are interested in donating for one or more of these open custom jobs, you may do so following the steps provided and conveniently pictured in the "How to Donate" section below.
