Playtoearn games are rising everyday. Blockchain has become a hub for these sort of gamers. Who would mind, to play games and earn at the same time? Yep, I am also slowly diving into these zone and so far I am liking it very much. The rest depends on the games updates and how much ROI I am getting from these games.
AXIE Infinity
Axie Infinity is a NFT-based online video game developed by Vietnamese studio Sky Mavis,[1] which uses Ethereum-based cryptocurrency AXS (Axie Infinity Shards) and SLP (Smooth Love Potion).
The theme of the game is pretty easy to grasp! You need a certain character known as AXIE's (just like our SL cards) but you only need three Axies to start your journey. Once you acquire your axies you are good to go. Now, the price of Axies has been sky rocketing as the demand of them are getting higher as well. Which is why nowadays it will be probably a risk for new players to get in and out easily. But if you are in for a long term than it is probably ok as you will be getting a decent return everyday for few hours of tasks.
As you may see below, these are my 3 axies, which were choosen by one of my friend @Jlordc (thanks man). And since I am getting a hold of the rules slowly and getting closer each day I am planning to get my initial investment back as soon as possible. After that I will upgrade my team and probably go for higher level axies (pure ones). Fingers crossed!
I have been giving 2-3 hours everyday since my axies are little lower level and they need upgrades. But so far while playing the game, it always reminded me of Splinterlands. The game is quite similar to that and no need to mention that SL was my first playtoearn game. So it shall always take a place at my heart.
The above image as you may see, these are different levels which I completed and the ones (yellowish oval shaped) ones are yet to be completed. Currently I am having a tough time completing the levels as it takes a toll on my axies to complete those levels. Which is why I have been giving more time as we speak. But considering the amount which I have spent , it is worth it.
But needless to say the more levels you complete the easier it is to complete the quota of 100 SLP everyday. So, if you are thinking of diving into this game, DYOR and find 3 suitable Axies, which will give your true values.
This is the quest which if you complete, you will get 50 SLP tokens for that day.
- Daily Check in
- Complete 10 adventure mode levels matches
- Win 5 arena matches
Complete them and you are good to claim the 50 SLP's for that day as a quest reward.
Few drawbacks that I can say of this games are :
- Kind of expensive (For a decent team you will need min of $1200)
- Consumes too much time (When you loose, damn it is so annoying)
- Server issues (happens almost everyday)
- Energy consuming (drains too fast and you will need to leave the game to be for recharge)
- Since it is on ETH blockchain it will consume some ETH when you withdraw from the game tokens. But playing and buying and selling within the game will not charge you anything as they have introduced their own blockchain (RONIN) which gives you 100 free transactions everyday.
So currently I am enjoying playing the game and that is what matters. Until I get bored or get my investment back, this is going to be a long hurdle for me. So better keep going at it ;) So are you into AXIE yet? Or planning to?
