Pass System
Adventurer Pass / Goblin Pass / Collector Pass
A key aspect of designing a GameFi project is its inflation design and overall sustainability. This brings into consideration of both product quality and the best practice possible to balance the sinks and faucets in the value flow of the game. Over the past years, web3 projects tinkered with their model with methods like selling ultra-rare collectibles and reserving buffers in the treasury design.
At ArchLoot, we observed how people spend their time, especially a long period of time in traditional games and on web3 products, trying to understand what drives their willpower to participate in an ecosystem besides the market circle. To protect and incentivise active gamers, the team devised a pass system to maintain dynamic control over the production and distribution of substantial assets and resources.
The system comprises three types of passes: the Adventurer Pass, the Goblin Pass, and the Collector Pass. Based on a free-to-play model, the system offers 4 tiers of services to all gamers.
Background
Avatars in ArchLoot are assembled from NFT body parts. All NFTs fall into 4 levels of rarity: normal, rare, epic and legendary. Rarer NFTs have better skills and attributes that contribute significantly to their fighting capacities. When getting defeated, the durabilities of the NFT body parts drop accordingly, until they come to zero and become totally inapplicable in PVE. Potions can repair durabilities.
The survival and levelling up of your avatar require resources, including in-game materials and tokens, mostly the in-game currency $ALG. The dual-token model includes a governance token $AL as well.
$ALG, in-game resources (including repair potions) and NFT body parts are dropped through chests, which can be acquired after defeating monsters or in the marketplace.
Besides tokens, tradable gears in ArchLoot mainly include NFT body parts, repair potions, common chests and boss chests.
