Survival is the qualification
Monster guests earn a Tier 4 reward after exceeding their survival milestone. They earn Tier 5 after exceeding twice that milestone. The milestone is captured from the existing monster-hours setting when the monster is created. Existing survival penalties still apply.
The wording matters: reaching exactly the milestone is not the same as exceeding it. Dead or already redeemed guests do not earn another reward. A website should not supply a fixed hour total when the value is a server setting.

Using the reward
An eligible monster can remake directly or bank its reward when deleting. The account keeps the best unused monster reward rather than a stack of rewards. The banked reward can then be used through guest remake from an ordinary character.
Unspent legacy nightmare unlocks migrate to Tier 4 rewards. Existing nightmare characters remain playable but new nightmare creation is disabled. This does not remove the ordinary nightmare world used by other systems.
03 / Characters
What a remake gives
The remake is a permanent character with an earned tier ceiling and no creation karma charge. The ordinary rules for the chosen archetype still matter. Monster guest records should not appear beside Local or Vampire as unrestricted normal creation choices.
