There have been changes to Stage One - Checks of the Shaden Application process...

Stage One - Checks is an automatic checking stage that happens when you press the Apply to become a Shaden Warrior button on the Apply to become a Shaden Warrior page under Shaden Enforcement on the website.
It is the required process that needs to be taken before gaining access to the Shaden application form itself.

Originally, the checks were just checking if you were following consistently for 12 weeks, and were not currently banned or timed out.

Now the system is a lot more broad in terms of what it can check.
It will now look up things like total watch time on stream, and how many messages you sent in the Twitch channel, the frequency of those messages, whether or not you've been recently active as well as whether or not you have been recently in trouble with The Shadow Court (that's instead of currently in trouble).

As some of the checks are new systems, I have decided to delay the following criteria to be added until the 5th of December:
4. I have sent at least 100 chat messages across at least 6 different streams in the last 12 weeks.

This means until the 5th of December, it is a lot easier to complete Stage One - Checks to become a Shaden Warrior.

You can apply to become a Shaden Warrior here

Good luck to those who apply!
