Crafting

The crafting system in the Astrological world introduces a sophisticated and interactive feature that allows players to create various items to progress in the game. This system is intricately linked with the exploration and collection of materials, as well as the innovative use of NFTs within the game's ecosystem.

Overview of the Crafting System

Crafting in the game is a multi-step process that involves collecting materials during exploration, obtaining crafting recipes, and utilizing NFTs within a forge mechanism. This system not only enhances the gameplay but also encourages player interaction and economic activity within the game.

Key Components of the Crafting System

• Recipe Requirement: To craft an item, players must have both the crafting recipe for that item and the necessary materials. Recipes can be general or exclusive, with some only becoming available when specific NFTs are assigned to the forge. This staking of NFTs to unlock recipes adds a strategic layer to crafting, where access to certain items is directly linked to the NFTs a player holds.

• NFTs in the Forge: Assigning NFTs to the forge symbolizes them being actively involved in the crafting process. These NFTs can also be made available for crafting commissions, allowing other players to hire them for their unique recipes. Owners of these NFTs can set a fee for their use, creating a microeconomy within the game.

• Hiring Mechanism: This feature enables players lacking specific recipes to still craft desired items by hiring NFTs from others. It fosters a sense of community and collaboration, as players can benefit from each other's collections.

• Crafting Costs and Waiting Period: Crafting involves a cost in AVRK, the game's currency. Additionally, there is a waiting period after staking an NFT for crafting, designed to prevent exploitation of the system. This period can be shortened by paying an AVRK fee, which contributes to the ecosystem's treasury and benefits holders.
