5️⃣Overview of the gaming economy

The game economy is the core part of the game, and it is also a relatively complex part that cannot be explained in a few words.

Old players can directly read the official white paper

Economy overview | WorldShards Wiki v.0.1 (upd. 2024-01-29)

This tutorial is for novice players, I will only describe some basic things

The game economy mainly revolves around the following assets:

1. Weapon NFT: Unlike ordinary weapons, NFT weapons have fixed attributes (the value will increase with upgrades), and durability can be repaired with gold coins. The most important thing is that there is an additional "luck" BUFF, which is positively correlated with future gold farming. (If you have played bigtime, it is equivalent to an hourglass)

1. Armor NFT: Same as above (if you have played bigtime, it is equivalent to an hourglass)

1. Tool NFT: divided into axe and pickaxe, the rest is the same as above (if you have played bigtime, it is equivalent to an hourglass)

1. Island NFT: Provides additional capacity. There are also artifact slots. Founder islands of different rarity, and affiliated islands are divided into large, medium and small types. The capacity and number of artifact slots provided are different. The capacity has been mentioned before. The number of artifact slots determines how many artifacts you can insert on the island.

The rarity of the island determines the highest rarity of the artifact you can insert. For example, a purple island can insert white, green, blue, and the highest purple artifacts. Orange artifacts cannot be inserted. (If you have played bigtime, it is equivalent to space)

1. Artifact NFT: It is an expansion object of the workbench. Insert it directly on the workbench (divided into three types: weapons, armor, and tools)

Official introduction:

Dev Diaries: ArtifactsMedium

Functions:

① Make weapons, armor, and tools NFTs (the function is now open, and island owners are making NFTs)

② Upgrade the rarity of weapons, armor, and tools NFTs. Currently, it is two-in-one (wait for the economy to open, the function will be open)

③ Increase the "luck value" of weapons, armor, and tools NFTs (wait for the economy to open, the function will be open)

④ Charge (wait for the economy to open, the function will be open)

⑤ Recycle fragments (wait for the economy to open, the function will be open)

(If you have played bigtime, it is equivalent to guard + furnace + armory)

How to use: approach the workbench, press the tab key, and select the corresponding artifact type. You need to have enough artifact slots.

1. Decoration NFT: Decorations used to increase comfort (parameters required for installing and upgrading workbench processing plants). They can be placed in any situation, do not consume capacity, and do not occupy any resources.

2. Glyphs: It is quite special and has not been released yet. Or it has been released. It is to split the previous weapon NFT, armor NFT, and tool NFT into two parts [weapons, armor, tools] + [luck value], and the luck value is stored on [glyphs].

Currently: weapon NFT, armor NFT, and tool NFT have their own luck value

In the future: the luck value is on the glyph, and the glyph can be inserted on weapon NFT, armor NFT, and tool NFT.
