What is merit and is it earned can someone explain it to me since I can find any threads related?

Think of it as a reputation system. Merit points are given when users find the contents helpful and insightful.

For example, you decided to open a thread on explaining how the Merit system works in the Beginners subforum. Some liked the content you posted and gave you merits. Congrats, now you have some!

But then, what are they really for? As you climb the ranks from a newbie up to Legendary, more merits are needed to achieve them. By ranking up, you unlock more perks, mainly avatar and signature features spaces to participate in signature bounties and advertising campaigns.

Easy, let's start then! Wait, my young padawan, ranking up take lots of time and effort to make it to the top:
> Jr. Member - 1 merit
> Member - 10 merits
> Full Member - 100 merits
> Sr. Member - 250 merits
> Hero - 500 merits
> Legendary - 1000 merits

And no, you cant buy merits, only earn as you eventually understand how the forum works.

Btw if I made a mistake in the prerequisites, lemme know so I'll change it.
