Blockchain gaming studio Vulcan Forged has announced the official release of the highly-anticipated new foraging system for VulcanVerse, a free-to-play fantasy MMORPG inspired by Greco-Roman mythology.

If you ever played VulcanVerse before, then you’ll know that up until now, you were able to use a simple forage system that allowed you to collect materials and potentially NFTs on rare occasions by simply clicking on blue crystals that pop up across the many plots of the game’s world when you have the mode turned on. Your trusty pet Vulcanite would head on over to the crystal and go about digging for some time, finding materials most of the time while earning XP in the process. This way of foraging is now no more thanks to the complete overhaul the new system brings, removing foraging crystals entirely and placing more emphasis on Vulcanite stats, spying and plot defending, adding an element of strategy to the play-to-earn blockchain title.

One of the changes included with this new system is that it’s now possible to exhaust a plot of land of all its resources, turning it into a desolate state as a result of constant forging taking place on it. When that happens, and it can happen to any plot regardless of rarity, the only things that players will be able to forage on such land then are common materials. Plots are split into 5 different rarities, with the rarer lands containing better loot. Over time, the game will reset loot tables and plot rarity for every quadrant after every 18 hours. 

There’s a huge amount of changes included with the new foraging system, and you can check out details on everything included and how it all works in the in-depth Medium post linked in the tweet down below.
