Dawn of Crypton, our 2D idle game prequel to our 3D MMORPG (both developed within Unreal Engine 5) has finally had its initial release! DoC will provide players with the opportunity to gather resources and other valuable items ahead of the release of Cosmic Universe and use these tokenized game assets within our MMORPG.

Currently, DoC has Elven Adventures playable, which require an Elf to play. In v1.1, we will open up Expeditions where both Wizards and Elves get to come into play, as well as land. After that we also have microgames being released within DoC. For those who currently have trained Wizards (Skill Level 20 in at least one Profession), they can unlock their rewards chests directly within Dawn of Crypton right now as well.

Playing Requirements

What You Need to Play DoC

To play DoC v1.0 you will need the following:

Note: Expeditions go live in v1.1 when Wizards &Land come into play. However, players who received Chests from Wizard Staking can open them in v.10 right now without needing to own an Elf.

Summary of Steps to Play DoC

  1. Bridge the Elves and MAGIC you want to use in the game, plus the Chests you want to open, using our custom bridge here.
  2. Bridge AVAX to the Boba Avax Network under the Avalanche C-Chain Mainnet Wallet tab here. Bridge from ETH to AVAX here.
  3. Use the Emergency Swap button under the Boba Avalanche Mainnet Wallet tab to get 1 free BOBA to complete the bridging over.
  4. Download the game here and either import a wallet holding your Elves, MAGIC, and BOBA or create a new one in-game.
  5. Create an Epic Games account when prompted in the game.

Extended Guide to Play Dawn of Crypton

Here’s more info on how to get started playing DoC.

Note: Before downloading the game client on your Windows machine, make sure you have the latest DirectX drivers.

MAGIC & BOBA Usage

MAGIC is needed to play DoC for various in-game purposes like training initially, followed by Expeditions, Repairs and the Item Shop in v1.1.

Here’s a graphic showing the MAGIC fees:

Note: These MAGIC fees will be adjusted if the markets experience future volatility in order to keep fees low for players.

BOBA is needed for gas since we are leveraging the hyperfast and incredibly cheap Boba Avax L2, which has transactions costing up to 30x less than on Avalanche C-Chain!

How to Get $BOBA to Play DoC

To get some BOBA for gas you can use Boba’s de facto gas faucet. Get gas by going here and clicking on the Bridge to L2 button.

You’ll then see a modal pop up and ask you to enter how much AVAX you want to bridge. Enter the amount you want to send over to your wallet on Boba Avax and click the Bridge button.

After bridging some AVAX over (around 30 seconds) you then need to click on the Boba Avalanche Mainnet Wallet button. You will be prompted by MetaMask to switch to the Boba Avax network and add the network details to your MetaMask.

Note: If you don’t have AVAX yet and want to bridge over from Ethereum, then you can use the Synapse multichain bridge here.

From there, click on the Emergency Swap button to get your BOBA for gas for swapping AVAX for BOBA needed for gas in the game. This button will get you 1 BOBA. This amount (around $0.20 at the time of writing this guide) will be enough for numerous transactions.

Once you’ve got your initial BOBA, you can start playing! You should enough gas to swap AVAX for BOBA needed for gas in DoC. To do this, you simply need to use Boba’s bridge.

Once bridged, SushiSwap (already on Boba) can be used to swap AVAX for more BOBA if you want or need it.

Bridge AVAX to BOBA here: https://gateway.avax.boba.network/

Bridge NFTs & MAGIC here: https://marketplace.cosmicuniverse.io/bridge

Note: If you want to bridge tokens from another chain to get AVAX (like ETH to AVAX), you can use Synapse.

If you’re on mobile, you can also quickly add Boba Network via Chainlist.

Note: If you want to bridge CU assets back to Avalanche from Boba Avax, the gas cost will be 10 BOBA + gas fees. Also, to bridge to Boba Avax, you need to be on Avalanche first, with some AVAX for gas.

Player Wallets & Private Keys

We do not store your private key. It is only stored locally on your device. Therefore, we strongly suggest writing down your private key and keeping it safe. Otherwise, your wallet will become inaccessible.

Currently, you can either use the wallet you use for various crypto-related functions, create a brand new wallet only for playing DoC that you transfer your NFTs and MAGIC to and enter its private key to play, or use our game’s built-in feature that creates a new wallet and generates a private key for you.

Private keys stay encrypted on your device and only stay stored locally on your device and never go anywhere beyond your device. This extra layer of security also comes with additional personal responsibility, so make sure you store your private key somewhere safe!

Opening Rewards Chests

Rewards chests are openable in Dawn of Crypton! Discover what treasures await you in your chests. Even if you don’t have any Elves, you can still open up your chests.

Note: You need to know how many Chests you have of each type for the bridge, so make sure you know the number and enter it. Otherwise you will have trouble bridging them.
