#### Step 2: You have two options
```

```
1. **Without using the referral system**:
   * Click the `complete` button to claim **2 tARC**.
   * You can only make one request per 24 hours from the same IP address and wallet address.
2. **Using the referral system**:
   * To join the referral system, click the `login` button and create an account by entering your email address and password.
   * Verify your account by clicking the confirmation link sent to your email.
   * After verification, reload the site, and your email address will appear on the screen.
   * Your **wallet address** serves as your referral code. You need to enter someone else’s referral code in the `referral code` section.
   * If someone shared a referral faucet link with you, the referral code will be automatically applied.
   * After logging in and entering the referral code, simply click the `complete` button.
   * To get your own referral, click the `Copy Ref Link & Generate QR` button. Your referral link will be copied to your clipboard and a QR code for the link will be generated.
   * Scanning the QR code will direct users to a faucet link with your referral automatically applied.
   * You have one claim per 24 hours, and you can use your **own wallet address** as a referral.
```

This process allows you to get test tARC tokens, which can be used for testing and development purposes on the Arcturus network.
