Raise a Drake to Unlock Mysteries in the Highstreet World Metaverse
If you’re a Solarium owner, then you’ll have noticed that an Egg appeared in your home after our first IHO. The airdrop took place on March 10; Eggs went to everyone who had a Solarium NFT in their wallet at 13:00 UTC on February 25. If you’ve been wondering about what the Egg is for, then read on!
Your Very Own Baby Drake
You’ve been interacting with your Egg every day — a 24-hour countdown timer appears above the Egg so that you’re reminded to pet it regularly. By visiting your home and caring for your Egg for 45 days in a row, the Egg will hatch to reveal a unique Baby Drake!
These Drakes have utility for you to take advantage of immediately, and they will give you more advantages when the Highstreet World Metaverse launches fully.
What is a Baby Drake, and why should I share my Highstreet home with one?
The Baby Drakes are Highstreet’s first Limited Edition Collectible Pets. They offer many unique and exciting opportunities!
The Highstreet World Metaverse will include an MMORPG, and Drakes can stay by your side as you explore this world and embark on new adventures. Drakes can assist you in combat by attacking adversaries, as well as help you glide to safety whenever you leap from great heights. Players will be able to mount Drakes that are in adult form, then take flight to travel through the vast lands of Highstreet World quickly. In addition, being accompanied by Drakes will boost your chances of finding rare items in Highstreet World.
Most importantly, your Drake isn’t just a pet; it will be your long-term companion in the Metaverse. It will be present whenever you complete new achievements and explore new corners of Highstreet World, helping you every step of the way.
If you want to begin raising your own Baby Drake, you can purchase an Egg NFT on the secondary market.
The Evolution of Baby Drakes
You begin with a Drake Egg, which functions as a furniture piece within your Highstreet home. Show it consistent love and attention, then the egg will hatch, and a Baby Drake will emerge. These playful and adorable hatchlings will live within your home, interact with you, and learn from you. In time, you will discover their unique personalities. You may be able to shape their behaviors and attitudes, or they might do the same for you.
Eventually, your companion will become a Juvenile Drake, and it will be able to accompany you on adventures in the Highstreet World Metaverse. They will provide aid in battle, explore new lands with you, and elevate the value of your loot. Your Drake will be of great help as you overcome the many obstacles that you will face.
As more time passes, you’ll have an Adult Drake. For now, little is known about what these wonderful creatures are capable of, but they may be crucial in your odyssey to uncover secrets about the origins of Dragons…
Are Baby Drakes really that useful and unique?
Yes! While all pets of Highstreet World will create value for players, few will function as well as the Baby Drakes on so many levels.
47% of Baby Drakes will be male, while 53% will be female. There will be Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary Drakes. Each step up in rarity leads to greater strengths and fewer weaknesses, but there’s more that will be revealed in the future.
For now, we can introduce the various subspecies of Drakes. They are as distinctive and magnificent as you can imagine, and will only grow more powerful over time!
Elemental Drakes
Crimson, Indigo, Verdant, Primrose, Amber
Shaped by the savage elements of Highstreet World, these Drakes overcame every obstacle to become the unrivaled masters of their environments. Woe unto those who stumble into their domain.
Prismatic Drakes
Radiant, Paradoxical, Cobalt, Chromatic
As motley outcasts, Prismatic Drakes forge resilience and power into their fiber, each like a firestorm within a hurricane. Are they harbingers of calamity?
Noble Drakes
Bronze, Silver, Gold
These highborn Drakes held dominion over the world long ago. Through the ages, they have ascended ever higher. As other Drakes evolved to adapt to the world around them, the Noble Drakes bend the world to their will.
Legendary Alpha Drakes
They are the beginning…
Stronger, faster, and more powerful, Alpha Drakes are the dominant and fearless commanders of all the Drakes. Challenge them at your own peril.
Legendary Omega Drakes
… They are the end
As the Alphas’ polar opposites, Omegas are the supreme Drakes. Fearsome and powerful, these loners need nothing and no one to achieve their ambitions. Perhaps not even you…
Drake Attributes, Traits, and Breeding
No two Drakes are the same. They will have three main attributes that define their in-game abilities (Attributes will be ranked from 1 to 5 with 5 being the highest, some traits can increase the attribute but its currently not displayed on the NFT）:
- Aggression shapes how fearsome a Drake is in combat.
- Endurance characterizes the distance that a Drake can soar across in the sky.
- Speed defines a Drake’s flight speed.
Each Drake will formulate its own set of behaviors in future builds — made possible by Highstreet’s innovative personality and emotion system. The question is: will they bend to your will, or will you yield to theirs?
You’ll be able to find out even more about your Drakes soon. Drakes with a higher rarity have a higher chance of adopting more traits. Alpha Drakes come with one extra trait while Omega has no extra trait since that would make them way too overpowered. Highstreet will periodically reveal details on the traits in batches when the game heads towards release. For now, know that you’ll be able to breed your Drakes and create new, wonderful combinations. We can’t wait to share more about these companions, so take an Egg home and keep an eye out for new posts in the future!
