What Are The Tools To Get?
To start with, everyone can only equip a total of three tools and when you can them, they will contribute to your tool and the land stats (tools affect your stats, more than anything else & also land you choose).
Rarity For Alien Worlds & Tools NFT Card Explanation
There are six different rarities for tools within the Alien World. These are: Abundant, Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical. All these rarities are very important as this focuses on the mining power.
Shining is also an important aspect to look at what talk about Tools. Shining is simply means blending and blending is like adding up four Nordic NFTs to get the next level up. So Shining your NFTs outcome is to increase stats. So there is Rarity and their is Shining. When you are Shining, you need TLM (Alien Worlds utility token) is varies in proportion to the rarity of the NFTs you are combining.
Note: There are five different Shine levels (Stone, Gold, Stardust, antimater, and xDimension).
The fist four shining levels are available through Shining of NFTs while XDimension only available in a special packs, therefore, no way to shine upto XDimension level.
