Nine Chronicles: Play to Earn in A Fantasy World

Do you love spending time in a vast fantasy world? Do you like the idea of earning income from your gameplay? If so, look no further than Nine Chronicles. With its fun play-to-earn model, Nine Chronicles lets you roam about as the leading character in a fantasy world and earn crypto in diverse ways.

What Is Nine Chronicles?

Nine Chronicles is an open-source blockchain-based fantasy MMORPG P2E NFT game. [Translation: Massively multiplayer online role-playing game that lets you play to earn, and features non-fungible tokens, or NFTs.] The game uses blockchain network technology to store in-game items as NFTs. Its native tokens are called Nine Chronicles Gold (NCG).

Nine Chronicles is built on the Planetarium platform, whose decentralized gaming-focused engine, Libplanet, enables free-to-play games with zero transaction fees. The game operates on a proof of work (PoW) system, though there are plans to shift to a proof of stake (PoS) consensus in the future.

As an open-source, fully decentralized RPG powered by players, Nine Chronicles can fully support mods in game levels and features. Anyone can even create a hard fork to form a separate Nine Chronicles network if they wish to.

The game can be connected to the Ethereum blockchain via the Nine Chronicles ETH Bridge so that players can then sell their in-game tokens. However, the fun and excitement in the game don't stop at P2E: The fully decentralized RPG has a unique NFT system that allows players to use NFT PFPs as their in-game avatars for a customized adventure.

Nine Chronicles Gameplay

With nine realms to explore and four different ways to play in this vast fantasy world, powered by NCG, you can conquer dangerous dungeons in fighting adventures, mine rare resources, or become a merchant or even (if you dare) a politician.

Since Nine Chronicles is an idle MMORPG, you don’t control your avatar during battles. But this doesn’t mean that you don’t have to do anything. For instance, you’ll need to upgrade your avatar and come up with strategies to steer your way toward victory.

In addition, Nine Chronicles has a robust PvP system that allows you to pit your avatar against another player’s in exciting battles to win NCG tokens.

All items in the game are NFTs, meaning they can be freely traded on the open market. This gives players more control over their in-game assets, and allows them to generate income from their gameplay. The NFTs are split into four main categories — costumes, consumables, equipment and materials.

Besides in-game NFTs, Nine Chronicles also has an NFT project called De:Centralized Cat (D:CC). The project is designed to mint PFPs that function as alternate identities for players in Nine Chronicles. Once you buy the PFP NFT, you’ll become a D:CC member and can then enjoy various benefits, such as exclusive rewards and in-game items.

The platform has a total of 3,000 PFP NFTs, of which 2,800 will be sold during pre-sales. The remaining 200 are reserved for the team. Only Wrapped NCG (WNCG) can be used to buy the NFTs.

Eventually, the project aims to expand beyond PFP NFTs and develop Pet NFTs, which can be bred. PFP NFT holders will have priority for minting Pet NFTs.

How to Earn Money in Nine Chronicles

Nine Chronicles has two main types of tokens: Nine Chronicles Gold (NCG) and Wrapped NCG.

Nine Chronicles Gold (NCG)

Nine Chronicles Gold (NCG) is the in-game currency used for transactions, such as trading and battle arena entrance fees. Moreover, certain in-game consumables — like AP potions, which provide energy — can only be received through staking NCG.

There’s a total supply of 1 billion NCG, which can be earned in four main ways: You can craft items and sell them for NCG, or simply buy and resell items to earn profits. Otherwise, you can mine for NCG or battle other players in arenas to earn NCG as a reward.

Wrapped NCG (WNCG)

Wrapped NCG (WNCG) is an ERC-20 token that can be used outside of the game (such as for buying Nine Chronicles NFTs as mentioned above or for trading). It can be staked on Balancer to earn both WNCG and BAL rewards.

WNCG is created when NCG is wrapped for WNCG at a 1:1 ratio and moved to the Ethereum blockchain, via the Nine Chronicles ETH Bridge, with a 1% gas fee. WNCG can then be stored in compatible ERC-20 wallets like MetaMask, or traded on Ethereum-based DeFi platforms such as SushiSwap and Aave.
