Embarking on the Web3 Adventure with Night Crows
If you’re a fan of MMORPGs and have been intrigued by the new wave of Web3 games, there’s an excellent chance you’ve come across or heard about the latest title that has been creating ripples across the gaming landscape. This game is a bold fusion of classic MMORPG elements – think class systems, the endless grind for mobs, and the thrill of loot drops – with modern blockchain technology featuring tokenized assets and NFTs. What sets this particular game apart is its innovative player-owned Exchange system, making the grind rewarding in more ways than one. For those ready to dive in, this guide will navigate you through optimizing your gameplay for both fun and gain as a Free to Play (F2P) player.
The Tokens
Before we set our sights on the challenges ahead, understanding the game’s economy is essential. Imagine diving into a world where you’re not just hunting for gold or diamonds but also accumulating valuable Multi-Utility Tokens. With seven different types to collect, they range from your everyday resources to core in-game items that can be minted. Our focus will be on a particular currency known as $CROW. While other tokens play significant roles within the vast economy, accumulating $CROW tokens through strategic gameplay will be our primary mission.
The journey to riches in this digital realm involves Diamonds, a premium currency employed to purchase various in-game items from the Exchange, among other utilities. While Players can acquire diamonds through traditional payment methods, the diamonds earned directly from the Exchange and Player missions are the ones you can convert into $CROW, branding them as Value Added Diamonds (vDIA).
Let the Grind Begin
With our sights set on $CROW tokens, let’s delve into the strategies to maximize our gameplay from a F2P perspective. This adventure is segmented into two phases: the initial climb to level 30 and the journey thereafter.
Pre-Level 30
Starting off, you’re prompted to choose a class. The initial offerings include Warrior, Swordman, Hunter, and Witch. While the choice may seem daunting, the game’s design allows for flexibility, permitting class changes later on. However, for the sake of maximizing efficiency in leveling up and earning potential, the Hunter class comes highly recommended. As a ranged character, the Hunter provides an advantage in farming mobs, possibly granting slightly more EXP than its counterparts.
The focus before hitting level 30 isn’t on earning diamonds but on power leveling to unlock the ability to sell items on the Exchange. Here are several strategies:
– Focus on completing main quests: While it might be tempting to engage in passive mob farming, the experience gain from these early-game mobs pales in comparison to the rewards from completing your main quests.
– Manage Your Potion Use: Given the significant part of the game involving AFK farming, potions are essential. The game has an “Auto use” potion mechanic, but it’s critical to manage your inventory wisely to avoid disabling this feature.
For new players, remember that potions and other consumable items are available from the Sundries Merchant in any of the villages. Using your mount instead of teleporting can help save gold, which is especially important as a F2P player.
As you progress, upgrading your stats, skills, and items becomes crucial to overcome more challenging obstacles. The ACC (Accuracy) stat, for example, becomes increasingly important against higher-level Mobs, affecting the chances of your enemy evading your attack.
Post-Level 30
Congratulations on hitting level 30! This milestone unlocks new gameplay features and opportunities to earn more Diamonds. Dungeons, which are special hunting fields, now play a pivotal role in your journey. They come in two flavors: Normal and Special, each offering unique rewards and challenges.
To maximize earnings as a F2P player, focus on completing Dungeons, especially the Land of Prosperity. Attending to these dungeons daily or weekly, depending on their reset schedules, should be part of your routine. Additionally, as you venture beyond level 30, the Creed Inheritance system becomes available, offering a means to further enhance your character’s stats according to your class and playstyle.
Trading on the Exchange
Reaching character level 35 allows you to sell items on the Exchange. Understanding the difference between “Bound” items (which cannot be traded) and Regular items is crucial. Upon unlocking this feature, tailoring your pricing strategy according to the market and item specifics can significantly impact your success in trading.
As you progress, your routine should involve completing main quests until you hit a wall, clearing daily quests, attending dungeons, and completing missions from the free section of the battle pass.
Entering the world of Night Crows as a Free-to-Play player is not just about experiencing a new adventure but also about navigating its economy smartly. The journey from collecting your first $CROW tokens to unlocking the character NFT feature at character level 45 is filled with challenges, tactics, and, most importantly, fun. This guide aims to set you on your path with confidence and excitement. Good luck, and may you thrive in the lively world of Night Crows. Happy gaming!
