The Axie Infinity team has officially announced The Homeland Cooking Showdown, an upcoming event for its land-based game mode.

Event Details

This is a 2-week culinary event starting on May 22nd at 6 PM PH / 6 AM EST and ending on June 5th at 3 PM PH / 3 AM EST. The goal is to craft certain dishes in order to climb to the top of the leaderboard which comes with a 20k $AXS prize pool that is set to be distributed to the top 5000 players. Fortune Troves will be rewarded in order to be able to receive Ancient Coins that you can then redeem for mAXS. The Ancient Coins from Fortune Troves do not affect your daily cap during the event, according to the announcement.

By starting your daily 2-hour Individual Timer, you can begin crafting items listed in the image above, earning points that go towards increasing your position on the leaderboard. These are the only items that award leaderboard points. As for the timer, it resets every day at 5 PM GMT+7, and you’ll want to make the most of it each day as unused time does not move into the next day.

New Auto-Select Feature & Land Type Advantages

To improve the crafting experience, the developers will be adding a new auto-select rarity material feature where you simply pick the item you want to craft and let the system choose the required materials for you instead of doing it manually.

The announcement has also revealed that the type of land on which you craft does affect your rewards, as each land type comes with different max rewards. Basically, the rarer the land plot, the more Ancient Coins you earn per Fortune Trove, meaning bigger amounts of mAXS to redeem. The Savannah plot for example rewards you with 150 Ancient Coins per Fortune Trove, while the Genesis plot brings 1500 Ancient Coins for each Fortune Trove.

These are the max rewards for each land type:

  • Genesis Plot: 1.5M mAXS, redeemable for 1.5K AXS
  • Mystic Plot: 300K mAXS, redeemable for 300 AXS
  • Arctic Plot: 150K mAXS, redeemable for 150 AXS
  • Forest Plot: 75K mAXS, redeemable for 75 AXS
  • Savannah Plot: 45K mAXS, redeemable for 45 AXS
