TL;DR
- Forging is now live on App.axie, allowing players to craft on-chain consumables by burning materials.
- The initially available consumables are Super Cocochoco (15,000 AXP) and Dark Flame (future utility to devolve Stage 2 parts back to Stage 1).
- Forging fees range from $1.50 to $2.50, and only holders of Level 30+ Axies can access these new creations.
Axie Infinity has launched a new feature on its platform App.axie: Forging.
This new system allows players to burn materials to craft on-chain consumables, a process that opens up new possibilities within the Axie universe.
The feature was announced on November 7, 2024, and has generated great excitement within the community.
The source of this information comes directly from the official Axie Infinity website, where they detail the first consumables players can forge: Super Cocochoco and Dark Flame.
The first of these items, Super Cocochoco, is a sweet treat that grants 15,000 AXP to the Axie that consumes it, making it a highly sought-after item for improving Axie abilities.
On the other hand, Dark Flame has an interesting utility, as it will allow players to devolve Stage 2 parts back to Stage 1, although this feature has not been fully activated yet.
The forging process requires players to have Level 30+ Axies. To forge the Super Cocochoco, players need 10 Premium Cocochocos and 40 Regular Cocochocos, with a cost of $2.50 in AXS.
Dark Flame, on the other hand, requires 2 Premium Cocochocos, 100 Plant Mementos, and 50 Aqua Mementos, with a forging fee of $1.50 in AXS.
This feature, though currently limited, introduces a more dynamic economic system within the blockchain-game, as players can both forge and trade these consumables in the marketplace.
The Future of Forging in Axie Infinity
This is just the beginning of what promises to be a much broader system.
According to Axie Infinity’s developers, more blueprints for forging will be added in the future, allowing more players to participate in the creation of consumables and other items within the game.
Over time, they may include rare and mystic accessories, or even land items and special consumables, further expanding the complexity and strategy within the Axie universe.
In addition, the cooldown system for Axies—meaning the waiting periods between forges—introduces another layer of strategy.
The rarer the Axie, the shorter the cooldown period, allowing players to manage their time and resources more efficiently. This mechanic ensures that the forging process remains balanced and prevents overuse of the feature.
As more players discover the possibilities that the forging system offers, it is likely to become a core part of the game’s economy.
The ability to craft and trade consumables not only adds value to in-game items but also strengthens the ecosystem by reducing the circulating supply of AXS while generating revenue for the developers.
With these innovations, Axie Infinity continues to expand its reach and enhance the player experience, creating new ways to interact with the game and improve strategies.
Without a doubt, forging is a feature that will change the way players manage their resources and level up their Axies, paving the way for a future full of possibilities.
