Farmine Land Announces Mystery Box Mint on OpenSea

Blockchain MMORPG Farmine Land has rescheduled its Mystery Box mint to begin on May 19th instead of the end of April. Here are details on the NFTs and info on the mint itself.

What Is Farmine Land’s Mystery Box: Tools of the Landworker?

The Mystery Box represents an opportunity for Farmine Land players to own a piece of the Tools of the Landworker NFT collection. As the name of the collection may imply, these NFTs represent a variety of different tools you will be able to use in the Ronin-powered game to gather resources. There will be more than 150 lands across which you can use these NFTs to either mine minerals, do farming tasks, cut wood, water plants, and fish at specific land points, with available activities depending on the tools you own. The resources you extract from various lands using these tools can be sold to earn LandCoins, an in-game off-chain currency that is said to have a fixed value of 0.001 USDC per LandCoin.

There are 15 unique NFTs in this collection, which consist of 5 different tool types in 3 different rarity tiers: Common, Rare, and Legendary. The types of tools available include pickaxes, saws, forks, fishing rods (with the Legendary variant being a fishing net), and watering cans.

The rarity of an NFT not only affects their supply, but also their efficiency. Each tool has a daily usage limit that is based on rarity. The rarer the asset, the higher the daily usage limit. For example, a Common Fishing Rod has 7 charges, but a Legendary Fishing Net has 22 charges. Once you run out of charges for the day, you are able to recharge your tools by using Light Lord Stones, which you can get from the Lord of the Light NPC at the city temple. This NPC will task you with delivering certain supplies, and if you successfully do so, you will be rewarded with the essential stone for recharging. These supplies need to be crafted using the resources you gather with the NFT-based tools.

The collection in total has around 3500 NFT tools spread out across 1400 mystery boxes. This means that each box contains 2-3 NFTs. Tools of Common rarity make up most of the supply at 70%, which is around 2450 NFTs, or 350 NFTs per tool type. Rare tools take up 20% of total supply, or about 700 NFTs, which would be 210 NFTs per tool type. As for Legendary tools, these only consist of 10% of the collection’s supply, which is around 350 NFTs or 88 NFTs for each type of tool.

How to Participate in Farmine Land’s Mystery Box Mint

Farmine Land is set to host the Mystery Box mint on OpenSea across 3 phases: Creators and Landowners, Whitelists, and the Public phase.

The first phase looks to be a free mint reserved for creators and landowners, with plans to host it on May 19th at 1 PM UTC. This is then followed by the Whitelist phase on May 20th at 1 AM UTC, when whitelisted users will be able to mint for 70 $RON per mystery box. The Public mint phase should then open later on May 20th at 1 PM UTC, when anyone will have a chance to participate and mint a mystery box for the minting price of 80 $RON per box.

This mint takes place on the Ronin Network in the form of a “fair, transparent” raffle that uses the Ronin Verifiable Random Function (VRF) to deliver “unbiased” randomization with on-chain verifiable results, according to system details. Once the mint is over, the boxes should automatically open at some point, after which you can send your NFTs to your in-game character by opening your inventory.

Having initially started on April 24th, the mint was temporarily paused due to a visual bug. It seems 25 boxes were still minted, and while the minting looked to be delayed to April 28th-30th while I was writing this, it shortly was further changed to May 19th and May 20th.

Farmine Land is available as a free to play title that is currently in development but open for anyone to jump into via an open test server. The game can be played on web browsers, and it looks like it will eventually be available on Android and iOS devices via the Play Store and App Store respectively, but also as a downloadable title on Windows.
