The Arrival of the Xzyzar
The Xzyzar have arrived in the realms, leading Expedition Caravans and eager to bring Heroes along to help them hone their skills. This new feature promises to add depth and flexibility to the game, making it more engaging for players.
Expedition Basics
Expeditions build upon the current Quest system, adhering to similar rules and mechanics. Players can utilize all existing quests, including Fishing and Foraging, as Expeditions. They will make identical decisions regarding which Heroes to deploy, their skill levels, and the number of attempts. Just like regular quests, Expeditions provide the same rewards.
Participants have the flexibility to decide the number of quest cycles to undertake during their expedition. Each cycle represents a complete round where the Heroes engage in the quest and subsequently regain the stamina they used.
The total number of cycles is constrained solely by the length of the locked JEWEL, enabling expeditions to span anywhere from under a day to as long as three years.
Key Differences
Several disparities between standard quests and expeditions aim to improve efficiency:
- All expeditions run independently and simultaneously, without queuing behind one another.
- Fishing, Foraging, Training Quests, and Gold Mining have no queue limits, allowing any number of expeditions per wallet.
- Gardening pools and Token Mining are limited to three active expeditions at a time per wallet.
- A new “unlimited” Gardening Pool, Gaia’s Garden, is available for expeditions, offering minimum token rewards, jackpots, and standard Gardening items.
Fees & Escrow
As a premium feature, Expeditions require a small fee of 0.0003 JEWEL per stamina expended by each Hero for the entire duration of the expedition. This fee is collected at the start and placed in escrow, distributed when rewards are claimed. JEWEL fees follow the standard distribution schedule: 5% burned, 15% Jeweler Rewards, 30% Quest Fund, and 50% Development Fund.
Power-Ups
Expeditions function as a series of Power-Ups, allowing players to choose which features to use. Future updates will include auto-leveling for Heroes on active expeditions.
Expeditions offer a new way for players to passively interact with DeFi Kingdoms, keeping their Heroes busy and allowing more time to engage in other content within the Kingdoms. The community eagerly anticipates the new adventures and challenges this feature will bring.
