What is Staking?

You can think of staking as putting your NFTs to work. Simply by staking your NFTs in the Item Manager you can earn PLA token rewards from playing the game. PlayDapp’s Staking method is lossless, meaning that no matter what you still control your NFT, and nothing is lost if you fail the staking conditions. Staking is also based in PlayDapp’s Item Manager, giving you a single area to focus on for all your NFT needs.

You can earn the following PLA rewards while staking:

Daily Quest Reward: Stake 3 SR rank PlayDapp Town PLAYZ NFTs and complete Daily Quests for 5 PLA daily.

However, there have been some changes made to SSR Staking:

In Play-to-Earn 2.0, players will also no longer need to stake an SSR PLAYZ NFT for rewards. SSR PLAYZ NFTs will instead bestow 10 extra Major Arena Tickets per day.

Weekly Arena Reward: Based on Major Arena Ranking, no Staking required, up to 7000 PLA weekly.

How Does Staking Work in Along with the Gods?

In Along with the Gods, staking is based on using PlayDapp Town PLAYZ NFT, you’ll need a minimum of three SR PlayDapp Town NFT to start earning Daily Rewards, however any player can earn Weekly Major Arena Rewards regardless of Staking status.

You will also need to stake the required NFT for a specific amount of time. For Daily Quests you’ll need to stake the NFT for a minimum of 24 hours, during the day’s staking period. For Weekly PVP rankings, you’ll need to rank in the Top 300 of Major Arena, with no need for staking.

Required Staking Time

Daily Staking and Weekly Staking require your NFTs to be staked according to the following specifications:

Daily Reward Staking: Before UTC 00:00 and after UTC 00:00 the following day. For example, if you wanted to earn daily rewards for the second day of the month the Daily NFTs would need to be staked by 23:59 UTC on the first and remain staked until 00:01 UTC on the third.

Staking must be enabled for the entirety of these periods, including Durability, and your NFT should not be unstaked or removed during these periods. A quality of life for the service as a whole is that your staked NFT will roll over, meaning you don’t need to re-stake and risk missing out on rewards.

We strongly recommend you stake your NFT much earlier than the cut-off points to guarantee you do not have any issues.

Please also note that the first time an NFT is staked, you will only be able to unstake it the following UTC 01:00. To unstake NFTs simply click Unstake, click the X on the NFTs you wish to unstake and click OK from the Staking Dashboard.

How to Get PLAYZ NFT for Staking

You’ll need PlayDapp Town PLAYZ NFT to stake with. These NFT are easy to get and currently, you have a few options.

The easiest is to use the PlayDapp marketplace to buy three SR Grade NFT, simple. Job done. You can buy these NFT at https://market.matic.playdapp.com/

The next is to use the Merge and upgrade function to boost lower level R Grade NFT into SR or SSR, you can find out more about merging in this article.

Staking Systems in Along with the Gods

Daily Staking rewards- Earn 5 PLA a day!

You’ll need three SR Grade PlayDapp Town NFT for Daily Staking. After you have your NFT it’s a simple two-step process.

1. Stake the required NFTs in the Item Manager for the required time.
2. Complete the Daily Quests in Along with the Gods, found in the Quest section from the main game screen.

Do this while staking 3 SR PLAYZ NFTs to receive Daily PLA rewards. PLA Will be sent on the Polygon network the following UTC day. Provided you have staked your NFT for the full-time period.

Weekly Rewards- Earn up to 7000 PLA!

1. Rank in the Top 300 of the Major Arena to receive Weekly Arena Rewards. The higher your rank the more PLA you will earn! (Note: Major Arena Rankings will be reset to 1000 points for all players each week)

PLA will be sent on the Polygon network after the full staking time period has been completed.

Item Manager NFT Durability

PLAYZ NFTs will now have a ‘Durability’ meter which degrades over time while they are Staking. Starting from 100, the Durability of a PLAYZ NFT affects how much a player can earn from Staking, and once a PLAYZ NFT’s Durability reaches 0 it is no longer able to earn PLA rewards from Staking and will change the Staking status of a player from On to Off.

This means that to earn Daily PLA Rewards, players must be Staking 3 SR PLAYZ NFT’s with Durability greater than 0. If one or more of the SR PLAYZ NFTs reaches 0 Durability Rewards will not be able to be earned.

To restore a PLAYZ NFT’s Durability you can use PLA to restore its Durability in Item Manager. Durability repair cost works on a per unit basis. Players can also use an R-grade PLAYZ NFT to fully restore Durability.

For SR PLAYZ NFTs there are Durability thresholds which will determine the quantity of Rewards earned, whereas SSR PLAYZ NFTs will function on a binary =0/>0 , so as long as your SSR PLAYZ NFTs’ Durability is not 0, you will earn full rewards.

SR PLAYZ Rewards will be tabulated based on the cumulative Durability of your three Staked SR PLAYZ NFTs, however if one or more is at 0 Durability this will invalidate your SR staking status.

For a full in-depth explanation of all aspects of PLAYZ NFT Durability read this guide:

Staking Failure States

It’s not pleasant to think about, but if something goes wrong you could see your staking fail, losing your rewards.

Staking can result in failure if any of the below is true:

•Premature unstaking: Withdrawal of staked NFTs before the time conditions are met.
•Incomplete Daily Quests, you must complete them all.
•Ranked outside of the Top 300. In case of ties, precedence will be given to users who Staked earlier.
•The Staking feature is showing Off. — This will only happen if you are not staking the correct number of NFT or Durability has reached 0.
•PLAYZ NFT Durability has reached 0

Claim Staking Rewards

When you’ve completed your staking challenges and the required staking time has been achieved you can claim your earned rewards in Item Manager on the Item Manager landing page after you log in.

Step-by-step Staking Process

3. Daily Quest Reward requires staking 3 SR PLAYZ NFTs. You can obtain PLAYZ NFTs from the PlayDapp Marketplace, Merging, and Event Sale page.

4. Click on the Staking module to be taken to the Staking menu. You can also access it from the sidebar menu by clicking ‘Staking’.

6. Once you’ve successfully fulfilled the staking requirements it will display your staking status as ‘On’
