getting to rank 1 in my lego network

This is a walkthrough, a detailed guide leading a user through a Rank or mini-rank, and it does not need to adhere as strictly to the standard writing style as normal articles do

Welcome to the My Lego Network! This walkthrough will help you reach rank 1. Although rank 0 probably the easiest and shortest Rank, if you're new to My LEGO Network (MLN), it can be quite challenging to discover how to get started. For your convenience, below are two different walkthroughs: one for those that have no experience with MLN, and a consolidated version for anyone who doesn't need all the explanations.

Make an Apple

• Now press Inventory in the top bar.
  • Definition: Your inventory is like a bank account—it holds everything you have, all right in front of you.
• You should have 50 Red LEGO Bricks. On the right is the list of all the blueprints you have.
  • Note: If you converted a Lego Club page then you have an S.P.A. badge and possibly more bricks.
  • Definition: red lego bricks are a type of item. Items are not much more than virtual trinkets that have different purposes and different values.
• Click "Apple Blueprint."
• Below it appears a box that tells you all about the apple and what it takes to build it. Have a look at what you need—1 Red LEGO Brick. That should be easy!

Apple Pie

• Now press Mailbox on the top bar.
  • Definition: The mailbox is a tool in MLN that allows you to send and receive messages from Networkers and other users. Remember to read all your mail—you can only have 30 messages at a time!
• Press New.
• Press Choose under the Recipient section.
• Click on Echo and press Choose.
  • Definition: The user you choose under the Recipient section will get the message.
• Press Choose under the Message section.
• The top bar of the message selection tool lets you choose what category of message you want to look at. Go ahead, play around!
• After you have selected a message you like, press Done.
  • Definition: The message you picked will be the message the recipient will receive.
• Press Choose under the Attachment section.
• Click on your Apple.
• The box you see lets you pick how many Apples you want to send. You only need one Apple, so ignore this box and press OK.
  • Definition: An attachment is an optional part of a message that allows you to give other users Items. Be careful with this tool, they won't always give it back!
  • Definition: Did you notice that you didn't see your Red Bricks in the Item you selected? Only some Items are mailable (i.e. can be sent.) These Items show up with yellow backgrounds and borders in your inventory. Non-mailable Items have gray backgrounds and borders. Note, however, that Networkers are not limited by this, and they can even send Blueprints!
• Press Send.
• You have sent a letter to Echo with an Apple in it!
• Press the Refresh button. It is the square button with the arrows forming a loop.
  • Definition: Your mailbox doesn't automatically update itself every time you get a message. Sometimes you need to refresh it if someone sends you a message while you're looking in your inbox.
• Open up your new message and read it. Looks like Echo enjoyed your Apple!
• Press Collect Attachment. You now have the Blueprint for a new Item—the apple pie!
• Go back to the inventory. Press the Apple Pie Blueprint.
• You need five Apples to build an Apple Pie, as you can see from the menu. Remember how you built that Apple? Do that again, but this time do it five times.
• Go back to the Apple Pie Blueprint.
• Build it as you did with the Apple. The Apple Pie is now ready for you!

Farmer John

• Now press Public View at the very top of the page.
  • Definition: The Public View is a massive database of pages—everyone who joins MLN owns one of them!
• Go to Echo's page.
• Press Farmer John's portrait.
• Under Farmer John's Avatar, press the "Add to Friendlist." You have now sent a friend request to Farmer John.
• Go back to the Private View.
  • Definition: Friends can be Networkers or human users. If the user is human, then he/she needs to accept your request before you can become his/her friend
• Press mailbox.
• Using the same method above, send the Apple Pie to Farmer John.

Crimson Apple Masterpiece

• Go to your Inventory.
• Build an Apple.
• Now you have the necessary Items to build the Crimson Apple Masterpiece. Go ahead and build it!
• Congratulations! You are Rank one.
