Hey there, Oxdarock here!
I just finished writing up a guide on how to make the most of my Patreon! Here's what they are!

-Check out and view/download the links of any links sent to you. This is pretty obvious since it's one of the main reasons of joining my Patreon. While all exclusive posts will make their way to my online store, the OxShop, they'll appear on Patreon long before public release!

-Use any and all of your suggestion rights. Another big reason of joining my Patreon is having a say in who, or what, I draw! If there's a character or group of character that you'd want to be drawn, add them as a suggestion. All suggestions stay on the OxPatreon Suggestion Sheet unless you want to change or remove them. Until then, they're bound to win at some point!

-Take part in voting polls. Just suggesting a character(s) is half the battle! You've gotta vote for them to win if you want to see them drawn! Even one vote can be the push one needs to turn the results on its head! Not only that, but you can even help me decide on the themes to draw next as well!

-Suggest extra characters. In case waiting for a suggestion to win a voting poll or roulette is too much to ask for, suggest them as an extra character to be used the in background. Sometimes they may be faraway and other times they may play as big a part as the main focus of a picture. It's even possible for them to show up more frequently than characters chosen via voting polls or roulettes! Just be sure to add them to the Extra Characters Sheet!

-Modify your suggestions. Is there a different character that fits this theme? Has a character won a poll and can't be used for the next poll? Whatever the reason, characters can be modified or removed at any time before a voting poll or roulette roll takes place!

-Put characters together in a single suggestion or split them apart in several. If you're able to suggest more than one character, putting them together lead to fun character interactions or group shots. Or maybe you'd like to make separate suggestions to raise the chances of one being picked? It all depends on what you want to see more.

-Give suggestions a boost! Has someone already suggested a character you had in mind? Or maybe you can't think of any suggestions? Then why don't you give someone else a boost? Since I use a roulette in a lot of my character decision making, you can use your suggestion rights to give another suggestion more odds of being picked! You can even remove your own suggestions or use any remaining suggestions to do so!

-Decide if it's "all for one" or "one for all" when you vote. Being able to vote multiple times means exactly that! You can either vote for choice several times or split it between several. If you have multiple ways to win, then you can go for the latter. But if there can only be one winner, then by all means dump all votes on them to give them a big lead!

-Use BEnchmark Stack points or save them up. They may take a while to build up, but they're well worth it as they give you extra rewards beyond you're pledge level! And accumulating enough can give you a huge lead when it comes to a voting poll that you really want to win! Just take a look at the BEnchmark Stack Sheet to see how many you have saved up and the BEnchmark Rewards Sheet to decide what to use them on!

-Take back Stack points when you need to. A lot of BEnchmark Stack points remain in effect for a long time (with the exception of extra voting rights). If you're not careful, they'll be used up for a theme you didn't want them used on! If you'd like to avoid this, then feel free to take back your stack points (by messaging me that you want to do so of course) when you can and need to.

-Pay attention and plan accordingly. I usually give a lot of announcements before a voting poll happens. With the way voting rights, suggestion rights, and BEnchmark Stack points are set up, it's really easy to boost the odds in your favor.

-As OxRock questions if you're confused. I'm more than aware that a large part of how I set everything up can seem confusing. If so, ask me about it personally and I'll do my best to make you less confused.

-Tell OxRock he's doing a good job. It makes me feel good every once in a while.

And there you have it! Everything you need to make the most out of your OxPatreon experience! I know I can't please everyone, but I'm damn sure gonna do the best I can! So be sure to check out my Patreon so you can make use of all these handy dandy tips!

That's all for now!
