Read on to find out how to get started!

If you’re looking for guidance on a particular topic, click on the section below you want to head to!

Download and Install Along with the Gods

If you haven’t already downloaded and installed Along with the Gods you should head to Google Play Store right now and download the game. At the moment Along with the Gods is exclusively for Android mobile devices, however, you can play from desktop through an emulator such as Bluestacks if you don’t have one.

(Note: Users who are tagged as being from Republic of Korea, Hong Kong and Nepal will not have P2E and Item Manager features available due to local laws and regulations)

When you start up the game you must select and log-in to the Play-to-Earn server to earn PLA rewards.

You must log-in to Item Manager with your wallet containing your staked NFTs to bind the wallet to your game account to start earning PLA rewards.

Please also note that you should log-in to Item Manager with the same Portis wallet holding your PLAYZ NFTs if you staked beforehand.

The Play-to-Earn server will start from a clean slate, meaning you will have to create a new game account when you log-in for the first time.

When you create an account in the Play-to-Earn server, this account will be permanently bound to the wallet address you use to log-in to Item Manager for the first time from the account.

Get a Portis Wallet Account

Along with the Gods and Item Manager are integrated with Portis wallet so you will need a Portis wallet. You can create a Portis wallet in the Item Manager through the game or PlayDapp Marketplace site at playdapp.com.

If you already have another wallet you use, you can import an existing wallet such as Metamask in the Portis interface, following the guide below:

Please also note that Along with the Gods’ blockchain functions all run on Polygon Network. PlayDapp Town NFTs used for staking as well as Along with the Gods Rune and Hero NFTs are all on Polygon. The PLA rewards you receive from the game will also be on Polygon.

Gas fees for transactions on Polygon Network will require MATIC. You can acquire MATIC from centralized exchanges such as Binance or decentralized exchanges such as QuickSwap.

Signing up and registering your email on the PlayDapp Polygon Marketplace will also grant you a small amount of MATIC to help you get started.

You can use the following guide to move PLA or ETH or any Ethereum token to the Polygon Chain and vice versa, you can also use the guide to bridge and swap tokens for MATIC:

Stake your PlayDapp Town PLAYZ NFTs in Item Manager

The play-to-earn server will allow players to earn PLA tokens directly from playing the game from participating in both PvE missions and PvP ranking tournaments by staking PlayDapp Town PLAYZ NFTs, offering a comprehensive Play-to-Earn experience.

For a full overview of Staking guidelines and conditions, click here (will open in new tab):

You can simply purchase PLAYZ NFTs from the PlayDapp Marketplace to get started. You can also merge lower grade NFTs into higher grade NFTs through the Merge function found under the My Items tab on the Marketplace. NFT Package Sale details to be announced.

You will be able to stake your Polygon network PlayDapp Town PLAYZ NFTs through the Item Manager linked to your Portis wallet. Item Manager will be the main hub for your play-to-earn activities in Along with the Gods and can be accessed through the Home screen of the game.

You will require 3 SR PLAYZ for daily rewards while 1 SSR PLAYZ NFT (on Polygon) will be required for weekly rewards.

Completing daily missions while having 3 SR PLAYZ NFTs staked will allow you to receive rewards of 5 PLA every day. Ranking in the Top 500 of Major Arena while staking 1 SSR PLAYZ NFT will allow you to receive weekly rewards of up to 5000 PLA according to your ranking.

After logging in to Item Manager with your Portis Wallet, go to the Staking menu, click Start Staking and select the NFTs that are eligible for you to stake. Once you’ve fulfilled the requirements your Item Manager will display Staking Enabled.

Please also note that the first time an NFT is staked, you will only be able to unstake it the following UTC 01:00. To unstake NFTs simply click Unstake, click the X on the NFTs you wish to unstake and click OK from the Staking Dashboard.

Item Manager will also let you track how much PLA you have earned and ready to claim and allow you claim it in your Staking Mailbox.

The video below also demonstrates the process if you would like a visual guide on how to stake PlayDapp Town PLAYZ NFTs in Item Manager.

How to Play Daily Quests and Arena for PLA Rewards

Once you’ve set up your NFTs for staking through Portis you’ll need to actually play the game and fulfill those in-game conditions to earn PLA.

Daily Quests can be found in the Quests tab on the Home screen. You must complete all the Daily Quests on this screen to be eligible for the PLA rewards for the day.

To access the Arena you will need to complete Scenario 8–1.

You can access the Arena from the Home screen. Major Arena is where PvP Rankings will be taken from for Weekly PvP Arena Staking Rewards.

Major Arena = PLA Ranking Rewards. Please note that the other Arena modes besides Major Arena will only give in-game item rewards and will not give PLA rewards.

This is the flagship Arena mode in Along with the Gods and consists of PvP 5v5 Hero battles, with no restrictions on the type of Heroes you can use. Set your Attack team with your desired Heroes.

You can adjust your team strategy according to your opponent as well. Along with the Gods rewards players who utilize superior tactics so make sure to do your best! Collect Heroes, upgrade your Heroes and formulate the best tactics to climb higher and earn more.

To enter a battle go to Arena> Major Arena > Enter Arena > Select and Battle the user you want and after viewing their team you can click Start if you wish to proceed.

You must use a Major Arena Ticket each time you start a battle, you can hold up to 10 Tickets at a time and they regenerate every 30 minutes. You can also purchase Arena Tickets with Gems.

Winning will increase your ranking points while losing will subtract points from your ranking. Your overall ranking compared to other players at the end of the weekly ranking period in the Major Arena rankings will determine how much PLA you earn.

If the PvP Arena Staking Rewards increases to over 2000 staking participants the total rewards pool of PLA will be increased.

Weekly PVP ranking rewards

If a non-NFT holder & staker ranks in the top 500 they will not receive PLA rewards. The next ranked player will receive the PLA rewards for that spot.

For example, Player A has no NFT and is not staking, they rank 1st in PVP major arena. Player B has NFT and is staking, the rank 2nd in PVP. In this case, Player B gets PLA rewards and Player A gets the in-game rewards for ranking 1st. An expensive mistake by player A.

Make sure to pay attention to your Defense Team Formation as well. This is the team other players will face when they select you to battle against. Winning and losing with your Defense team will also affect your ranking.

If you're new to the game you can refer to this general starter guide as well as this Arena guide to help learn the ropes of the game and Arena mode.

To claim your earned PLA rewards go into Item Manager and go to Staking > Staking Mailbox to see what you can claim. Click the Claim button and approve the transaction. Make sure you have enough MATIC to pay for gas fees.
