Blockchain game trend is blooming in recent times. There are some games that are highly sought after because of their extremely attractive and unique gameplay. Most recently, IdleStoneAge, an NFT game project “Play To Earn” is being highly appreciated by the community. So what is IdleStoneAge? In this article, let’s learn about the IdleStoneAge project in detail!
WHAT IS IDLE STONEAGE?
The Idle StoneAge is a synthetic NFT concept dual-end (web/mobile) game deployed on the KCC. What sets Idle StoneAge apart from other NFT games on the market is that it is community driven and the core gameplay is turn based card. In the game, players can:
– Invest and gain profit by fighting, leveling, aggregating, trading and committing cards in the game
– Contribute to the development of the game by voting, participating in activities and sponsoring projects through the SAX governance token
– Contributing to the community with a variety of activities and content will also receive a worthy reward
THE UNIQUE IDEA OF IDLE STONEAGE
I. Win-Win-Win
- Play-2-Earn
Since it is a blockchain-based game, you will earn real profits by participating in combat in PvE or PvP modes in Idle StoneAge. You can also buy and sell your NFT items with tokens. Think, for traditional games you can make a profit by selling in-game items, for NFT games you will earn even more through the growth of tokens.
- Stake to Earn
You will earn profit holding SAX tokens by staking token pairs in liquidity pools. In addition, holders can also obtain contribution rewards by voting with the governance token SAX.
- Collect to earn
The core team maintains the operation and development of the game and community by collecting fees from the trading market.
II. Experience + Decentralized
- Perfect experience
Currently, blockchain-based games are facing problems such as not enough variety, poor graphics, many bugs, and quite high fees. As for Idle StoneAge, the development team deployed the game on a centralized server, thereby increasing performance and using blockchain technology to store player assets. This will ensure that you will have a perfectly smooth experience and that your assets are stored very securely. In addition, gas costs have also been reduced thanks to this mechanism.
- Decentralization of property
In Idle StoneAge, any card drawn to pay fees will be stored in the player’s account as NFT; players can also realize decentralization of game assets by exchanging game currency play (Stone coin) with project token (SHELL).
III. Free-to-play
You do not need to spend any money to start participating in Idle StoneAge. When registering an account and linking to the wallet, players will receive 3 free champions to be able to start playing. More attractive, the game also allows you to draw to win secret item boxes.
And when you receive free heroes and rewards, you will use them to participate in battles in the game and earn profits from them. That is “Free-to-earn”.
GAMEPLAY
I. Background of the game
Once upon a time, the heroes of the primitive tribe found a treasure map in the wild. The high priest of the tribe has discovered a surprising secret in the treasure map: a lost treasure of the legendary gods. He told the heroes this story.
This treasure can make the tribe thrive, but if it falls into the wrong hands, they will bring chaos. When the heroes learn of this, they begin their journey to find the treasure.
II. Hero
Players will use their characters, or heroes, to fight each other. You can get heroes by trading on the marketplace or card drawing.
Each hero has its corresponding name (kind), quality, and basic attributes and characteristics depending on the quality. Heroes have the following attributes:
- Quality
There are six categories: inferior, ordinary, rare, epic, legendary and mythic. However, inferior heroes cannot be cast into NFTs or even traded.
- Aptitude:
Including life aptitude and attack aptitude. Aptitude determines the growth rate of a hero’s attributes with level. The higher the aptitude, the faster the growth rate. The lower limit is 1 and the upper limit is 5.
➤ Rare heroes have at least one Aptitude of 3
➤ Epic heroes have at least one Aptitude of 4
➤ Legendary heroes have at least one Aptitude of 5
➤ Myth Heroes have both Aptitudes of 5
- Characteristics:
Including Type, quantity and level are important criteria for evaluating the rarity of heroes. Heroes can learn new skills and upgrade their original skills through the fusion function. Each characteristic increases the hero’s strength by 3-8%, the hero’s power increases exponentially when multiple skills are combined.
- Base Attribute:
Basic attributes including life value, attack power, speed, etc., can be improved by upgrading. Improving basic attributes can allow heroes to participate in harder battles and get more awesome rewards.
- NFT casting:
Players will receive NFT heroes when trading on the marketplace with BUSD, SAX cryptocurrencies or rewarded when they contribute to the project.
You can merge NFT heroes together and use them to fight or sell to other players for profit.
Attack aptitude, life aptitude, fusion time, NFT hero skills will be in the series, but hero level will not.
Note, the heroes given for free are not NFT heroes, they have weak attributes and cannot be used for merging or trading.
II. Hero Enhancement
1. Upgrade
In adventure mode, players can upgrade their hero by using Stone (in-game currency) to become stronger. In general, the higher the quality of the hero, the higher the health and attack power after upgrading.
In addition, due to the level reduction mechanism in breakout mode, upgrading is also a necessity to be able to break through:
⧫ Fusion
You can completely upgrade a hero by using another hero to fuse. A certain amount of Shell and a certain amount of SAX is required to fuse
Fusions can improve the skill type and skill level of NFT heroes.
Each merge operation will be recorded on the chain, and the more merges, the higher the cost of the next merge.
⧫ Palliation
In adventure mode, players can restore upgraded heroes. After restoring, the hero’s level is reset to level 1 and 90% of the hero upgrade cost will be returned.

3. Decentralization: Once the development of the project is stable (such as completing the update iteration of the main version of a game), the project team will not have veto power, and all Issues will be voted on by the community committee. by the community.
GENESIS ACTIVITY
After launching Genesis Block, Idle StoneAge will officially launch Genesis Activity, including Genesis Blind Box and Genesis Mining.
I. Genesis blind box
Price: You can buy it with BUSD.
The more boxes, the higher the price.
| Blind boxes number (PCs.) | Corresponding price (BUSD) |
| 1-1000 | 30 |
| 1001-2000 | 40 |
| 2001-4000 | 50 |
| 4001-8000 | 60 |
| 8001-16000 | 70 |
| 16001-32000 | 80 |
| … | … |
Ten drawings of the Genesis Blind Box
The price of 10 draws is 10 times the price of a single blind. When ten blind cells are within the price change range, the price before the change (low price) takes precedence.
👉 For example, if you buy the 999th blind box to the 1009th blind box, the price is 30 BUSD x 10 = 300 BUSD
Players who buy Ten Draws will receive an additional bonus of 50-20,000 SAX and the specifics are as follows:
⏵ 50% chance to get 50-100 SAX
⏵ 40% chance to get 101-200 SAX
⏵ 9.4% chance to get 201-1000 SAX
⏵ 0.4% chance to get 1001-10000 SAX
⏵ 0.2% chance to get 10001-2000 SAX
During this period, up to 1,050,000 SAX will be awarded to players. These rewards will gradually decrease when the given number of SAX exceeds 800,000.
Usage revenue from the sale of Genesis Blind Box
The Genesis stage blind box earnings will be used to set up the liquidity pool and the core pool will not take any funds.
II. Genesis Mining
During the Genesis mining phase, players can ask NFT heroes to mine in the Genesis pool for shells. Each player can commit up to 3 NFT heroes at a time.
Basic effect
| Quality | SHELL/Per Block |
| Ordinary | 0.025 |
| Rare | 0.05 |
| Epic | 0.2 |
| Legendary | 1 |
| Mythic | 4 |
Additional effect
The NFT hero’s signature level increases mining efficiency by +8% for each characteristic level, resulting in an exponential multiplier efficiency.
For example, an NFT hero has a characteristic level of 10.
Then final performance = base performance * 108% ^ 10≈2 times base performance.
