Harvester Overview

Thundermane Approaches the Kingdom of Ether

Below is an attempt to chart out some of the expected numbers surrounding KOTE’s upcoming Harvester.

Assuming every harvester is equally boosted, (in reality it varies a lot) the KOTE Harvester may receive:

2 Months of ~60k MAGIC / week
4 Months of ~30k MAGIC / week (after the halving)
= 8 weeks * 60,000 + 16 weeks * 30,000 = 960,000 MAGIC over 24 weeks minimum (6 months)
40,000 MAGIC per week on average

1 Ancient Permit grants access to stake 2,000 of the 6,000,000 MAGIC in the Harvester. That’s equal to an estimated 13.33 MAGIC / week per Ancient Permit.

Over 6 months each Ancient Permit combined with 2,000 MAGIC may produce ~320 MAGIC

Reduced by 25% to account for boost fluctuation and corruption = ~240 MAGIC value per Ancient Permit

(These estimates are contingent upon community participation and our ability to coordinate a successful strategy as a group)

Ancient Permit Emission Structure

1,500 Ancient Permits are emitted on a 1–1 basis to each Oathkeeper Insignia holder
1,000 more Ancient Permits are emitted to Knights and Villagers through hardcore leaderboards (accessible with Insignias) during the Mydsummer Madness event
The final 500 Ancient Permits are emitted through the regular leaderboards, accessible to all Knights and Blessed Villagers

Team Harvester Participation

The KOTE team will reserve 80 Insignia’s for the Ancient Permits and stake 160,000 MAGIC in order to receive emissions.
The KOTE team commits to using these emissions on behalf of the KOTE Harvester strategy to pursue the maximum boost % for all KOTE harvester participants.
Remaining emissions will be used for a combination of Squires / Blightfell incentives and community giveaways.

If past Harvesters have shown us anything, it’s that the Harvesters with a core team leading the charge and overseeing operations end up with the best results. By minting Insignias in MAGIC, the KOTE team becomes well-capitalized and can stay competitive on behalf of our community in the Harvester Wars. This is crucial for maximizing Harvester yield. We want to play to win.

Additionally, our strong network within the Treasure community guarantees that there will be no shortage of Legions and Squires to help craft extractors, boost yield % and tame corruption for the entirety of the KOTE Harvester’s uptime. All of the pieces are in place. We look forward to taming Thundermane, together.
