The Eldarune team is back with more info on their ELDA Runes NFTs, this time sharing the “power” behind these non-fungible tokens, that is, the lore and more specific utility surrounding them.

In the latest article from the developers, these runes are described as “valuable” gems from the World of Elymnias. They’ve been crafted by 500 Sorcerers and contain magical powers that only its owners can use, with the runes divided into a “set of seven symbols” that is, 7 different NFT tiers, with each tier having its own unique and mysterious power. These tiers are labeled as Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Ancient and Unique.

The first type of rune created by these sorcerers is the Common ELDA Runes, the simplest tier of them all, yet one with the key to “to unlocking many secrets on the Elymnias World.” Only 2400 Common Runes have been created, and they can be used for crafting “powerful weapons, gears, and champions from nothing.” 

In order to get the next tier, the Uncommon ELDA Runes, you’ll need to own 2 Common ELDA Runes (or 1 for the first 24 hours from the reveal) + 0.006 ETH to get an Uncommon NFT. The same process applies for further tiers: 2 Uncommons + ETH for 1 Rare, 2 Rare + ETH for 1 Epic, and so on, with the amount of ETH needed increasing from one tier to the next.  

The NFTs can be staked in order to earn chests of varying rarity, with higher tiers having a shorter staking period. There are 4 types of chests, 2 of which can’t be earned with a Common NFT, while the rarest chest, the Legendary Champion Chest, is not earnable through staking Uncommon ELDA Runes. 

ELDA Runes also bring with them ELDA Token staking bonuses of up to 90% depending on the NFT tier. More details can be found in this post which also contains info on Champion drop rates from chests.
