Raindrops and badges

How you earn raindrops, your wallet, the leaderboard, the shop and the badge ladder.

Raindrops (💧) are Rainflower's reward points. You earn them for real contributions and can spend them in the shop.

Earning raindrops

Activity	What you earn
Quizzes	Your best score pays; a retake pays only the improvement. Practice rounds pay nothing.
Experiments	Each accepted report pays the experiment's reward. Rainfall pays once per day or week.
Analyze projects	Pays on submission, on thumbs-up from others, for comments, and when accepted.
Memes	10 for each like on your meme (your own likes don't count).
Ask Thunder	Asking at /ask costs 10; an answered question pays back 10, up to 100 a day.
Arcade games	Up to 150 a day in rewarded mode.
Inviting friends	A bonus when your friend is approved, and another once they stay active.
Support feedback	A reward when your report leads to a change listed on the Change Log.
Research papers	Rewards for submitting, grades and advisor ratings, set per paper.

/wallet shows your balance and every transaction. To send raindrops to a friend, enter their username and an amount, then press Send.
/raindrops is the leaderboard.
/shop lets you spend raindrops, including Cash out above a minimum amount.

Badges follow your raindrop balance and only ever go up: spending raindrops never takes a badge away.
