20% of the prize pool is carried forward as the seed for the next season’s prize pool.
Eligible players can receive rewards when the season is settled. The exact distribution method, eligibility requirements, and Hero Badge benefits are explained on the Seasonal Prize Pool page.
Rankings and Events
Players can earn rewards by performing well in competitive activities.
These may include:

Rewards and ranking rules vary by event. Players should review the current season’s event pages before participating.
Gameplay and Resource Trading
Players can obtain valuable resources through regular gameplay:
Dungeons provide equipment and materials;
Outland provides Aetherite, equipment, and other loot;
Life Skills allow players to gather resources and produce useful items;
Selected game items can be exchanged through supported markets.
Some resources can be sold directly to NPCs, while others gain value through player demand.
NFT Minting and Trading
Selected NFTs can be minted using materials collected through gameplay.
Players who meet the relevant requirements can:

Use the NFT in the game or trade it after trading becomes available.
Each collection has its own supply, minting rules, utility, and transfer conditions.

Renters gain temporary access to the Crystal’s Energy utility, while owners receive the agreed rental fee.
