Passive Actions and Pets
Introducing Passive Actions and PETS to Estfor Kingdom!
It’s the advent of a new era in Estfor Kingdom as we answer the often asked question, “So, what do I do with this egg?” Well, anon, you are in for an exciting ride. As some may have guessed after the launch of our Forging update, Estfor Kingdom is rolling out upgradeability into another area of our gaming experience.
With our new Passive Actions, players will be able to UPGRADE their eggs to one of 5 tiers of quality. This has a direct impact on the contents (which we’ll get to soon) of that egg. The great thing about a Passive Action? It DOES NOT affect a player’s capability to queue their daily actions, keeping you agile and active as you battle for top spot in all of your focus areas.
Unlike Instant Actions, Passive Actions can take place over an extended period of time, giving them varying levels of strength/effectiveness. This gives us the ability to not only increase value and power of the eggs that our players have so patiently held, but to introduce new and exciting extended tasks and/or actions to the game that are completely outside of our previously existing framework. Many have called for this type of extended, story-style action to be brought into the mix, and we’re excited to deliver on yet ANOTHER community requested functionality. What will this bring to the table? Time will tell.
What you’re likely wondering is what this means for the CURRENT iteration of Estfor Kingdom. As previously mentioned, these actions will be used to upgrade existing eggs. Players will ALSO have the opportunity to create NEW eggs of varying styles and properties. It’s important to note here that the OG eggs and 1Kin eggs CANNOT be created but CAN be upgraded, maintaining their respective scarcity and value. We’ve added two NEW types of eggs: Crystal and Frost. Also, the contents (WE’LL GET THERE!) of these two egg varieties will be unique and cannot be made by creating or upgrading the new eggs being introduced as a part of this update.
“But what do they DO?”
This question has been on everyone’s mind since Estfor Kingdom first moved from Beta to Live. It has haunted our Discord and been met with answers as vague as the item’s description, “Will hatch at some point.” Well, now we are ready to present the answer. What do they do?
THEY HATCH into the newest addition to your Combat arsenal: Pets. There are several distinct Pets that each bring their own strengths to the battlefield. Players will be able to hatch as many eggs as they can acquire while trying to find the perfect Pet for the job. The incubation of eggs as described above will directly impact the effectiveness of your new Pet, and multiple Pets may be owned at any given time.
Pets offer boosts to the existing Combat skill set with varying degrees of power in their areas of strength. Each Pet species consistently boosts the same skill set, with different levels of effectiveness based of the tier of the egg from which they are hatched. Special varieties of eggs, such as the Frost Egg, will also yield different qualities to the Pets hatched from them.
Each Pet is an NFT on a new contract that is freshly deployed for this expansion. That means that there will be a brand new collection to watch on PaintSwap. Trade and sale is possible for these creatures, so if you don’t get the friend you’re hoping for, hit the open market! The royalties on this collection will mirror the Heroes and Items collections.
So gather your eggs! Upgrade them! Hatch them! Meet your new Pets! This is the start of something amazing.
