APS Tutorial a.k.a Let's Play A Pirate Saga

in Hive Gaming6 months ago (edited)

Discord based games are not new to us, Hiveans/Hivers. A Pirate Saga is the third Discord based game we have on Hive.

A Pirate Saga Tutorial 1.jpg

First game we, Hiveans, who migrated from the previous blockchain, played was dCity.

Second one is Serfdom & Sorcery. Though, it can be said the first one in the sense that it's initiated/started/developed on the Hive Blockchain.

And, now, A Pirate Saga is the third one.

I am not aware of any other Discord based games associated with Hive Blockchain, if there are then do share them in the comments.

I am playing all three of above mentioned games and, no doubt, they are addictive. This isn't the only quality they have, though.

If someone says to me for the comparison among them then it's like comparing Mango with Peanuts, Pizza with Spaghetti or French fries with Samosa - they all are the best in their own category/genre.

A Pirate Saga

"A Pirate Saga" is an epic and immersive blockchain-based pirate adventure game that takes players on a swashbuckling journey through treacherous seas, hidden coves, and ancient maps in search of fame, fortune, and the ultimate pirate legacy. Players are transported back to the Golden Age of Piracy, a time of lawless seas, hidden treasures, and daring escapades. Players step into the boots of a daring pirate captain and embark on a high-stakes quest for the greatest treasure the Seven Seas have ever known.

A Pirate Saga combines the excitement of blockchain technology, NFTs, and strategic gameplay to create an engaging pirate adventure. Players can set sail, collect ships, unlock legendary pirate ranks, and compete on leaderboards to become the ultimate Pirate Legend in this immersive and ever-expanding pirate world.

Commands for earning LOOT tokens

The commands that will earn you LOOT tokens are:

  • !setsail
  • !fightmonster or !takethehelm or !smugglerun or !findhealings
  • !quest

!setsail

Run this command in #play-room-1 channel. You'll either get 5 LOOT or 10 LOOT or 50 LOOT tokens.

The normal cooldown for this command is 5 minutes. You could get a 30 minutes cooldown once a while, though.

setsail 0.1.png

So, in normal cases, you can run !setsail command every 5 minutes.


!fightmonster or !takethehelm or !smugglerun or !findhealings

These are the same commands for different classes.

  • !fightmonster for Fighters
  • !takethehelm for Navigators
  • !smugglerun for Scavengers
  • !findhealings for Healers

!fightmonster or !takethehelm or !smugglerun or !findhealings.png

As you can see in the image above...

  • !fightmonster (Fighter Class) and !findhealings (Healer Class) reward the players either with LOOT tokens or with Wood.
  • !smugglerun (Scavenger Class) rewards players either with LOOT tokens or with Chest.
  • !takethehelm (Navigator Class) rewards the players either with LOOT tokens or with Wood or with Chest.

You can run this command every 60 minutes.


!quest

This is a common command that can be run by all classes in #quest channel and earn you LOOT tokens.

In above image quest was ended in just two steps, most of the time it runs a little longer, giving you YES and NO options, choose wisely.

Cooldown for !quest command is 15 minutes.

Other Commands

!buychest

One thing that will accelerate your in-game progress and earning is buying and opening the chests.

HOW?
We'll come to it a bit later.

!buychest or !buychest 1 will buy you one chest.
!buychest 2 will buy you 2 chests.
!buychest 3 will buy you 3 chests, and so on...

!buychest.png

One chest cost 500 LOOT tokens.
With 2500 LOOT tokens, you were given at the time of registration, you can buy 5 chests if you want to.


!openchest

Just like !buychest command, !openchest or !openchest 1 command open one chest for you.
!openchest 2 will open 2 chests.
!openchest 3 will open 3 chests.

!openchest.png

Maximum 10 chests can be opened with a single command.


!repairship
As mentioned above, normal cooldown for !setsail is 5 minutes but, now and then, you can get a 30 minutes cooldown, and if you don't want to wait for 30 minutes then use this command. You can immediately use !setsail command after running !repairship.

!repairship.png

!repairship costs you 25 LOOT tokens every time you run it.


!upgradeship & !barrelman commands
!upgradeship command is used to upgrade the ship for using !barrelman command.

!upgradeship & !barrelman commands 1.1.png

!upgradeship requires 25 woods to work.
!upgradeship will further be upgraded in the near future which will require wood and steel and will give the ship new abilities in finding other materials et cetera.
To acquire steel you need to run !barrelman command.

Once you upgraded your ship, you can run !barrelman command.

!upgradeship & !barrelman commands 1.2.png

You can run !barrelman command every 6 hours.


!stats
You can check your in game stats with this command.
It shows number of LOOT tokens your account has, your role, time remaining to call !setsail command, number of Chests, NFTs, Wood, Iron and your Pirate Experience.

!stats.png

Pirate Experience: You daily get 300 Pirate Experience by running !setsail and role-specific (!fightmonster/!takethehelm/!findhealings/!smugglerun) commands.


!help
This is the command that provides you with the list of all available commands.

Leaderboard

Leaderboard has its own perks.
Currently, A Pirate Saga is daily paying top 25 players on the Leaderboard with LOOT tokens to their Hive Engine wallet and have also started to give Chests to them (Rank 1: 3 chests - Rank 2 and 3: 2 chests daily - Rank 4 and 5: 1 Chest daily).

Leaderboard Payout 1.png

Leaderboard position is determined by how many NFTs a player has.

Owning NFTs not only gives a player a place in the Leaderboard but it also add LOOT tokens to !setsail and !fightmonster (or other commands of different classes) rewards.
5% additional rewards for every 10 NFTs a player holds to be exact.

For example, I have 90 NFTs and getting 7.25 LOOT, 14.5 LOOT and 72.5 LOOT tokens from !setsail command instead of getting 5, 10 and 50 LOOT tokens respectively.

!setsail mobi72 f.png

Similarly, I am getting 45% additional LOOT tokens reward from !fightmonster command.

Sweet, another game. The more the merrier.

How does it leverage the Hive blockchain?

 

I am not aware of any other Discord based games associated with Hive Blockchain, if there are then do share them in the comments.

Botto, our shooting minigame in Discord has been live since November 2021 and it's powered by the Hive blockchain.

Every single interaction of all 1200+ total players has always been recorded on the Hive chain since it launched.
This provides complete transparency. For example, players can easily track all changes to their balance over time and make sure no one is screwing the stats that were guaranteed for the NFTs.

We don't issue coins on chain every time players execute a command, it increases their in-game balance. We always opted to use this minigame to mine the next token of our shooter game. We did it first for $BOOM and $MARS and now they can mine $PROX.

BOOM and MARS were credited into the shooter game and they could be claimed as our Hive token $DOOM (instead of our Wax token) just by holding Hive NFTs when players claim their rewards.




We have a lot more plans for it in the future.

This seems interesting, I'm definitely going to look into it. Thanks for the info.

Great job Mobi.

Thank you 🙏.

Great. It's nice to know that Users can also play A Pirate Saga on RisingStar Discord.

Thanks for sharing this info. Appreciated.

Awesome guide!

How did you get so many NFT? Did you buy a lot of LOOT and then chests? :)

!PIMP

Thanks a lot for the encouragement. Appreciated.

Started playing from the beginning. Initially, got LOOT tokens by playing and bought NFTs with them, still doing so.

and, yes, bought a lot of tokens when launched on the Hive Engine. Bought chests with them as well. burnsurface bought more than I did, though.

Many players are still getting NFTs with their in game earning. I am sure, you're one of them 🙂

!PIZZA

Thanks! I discovered the game only a few weeks ago, so I missed the super-early stages: now I'm trying to grind with the !setsail and !takethehelm (I'm a Navigator!) commands, but I only got 1 NFT so far... getting to 10 is going to require a lot of time for sure ahahah

I hope to see other guides from you in the future! This is one is very complete and it covers the whole game :) I'm going to share it for sure if someone will ask me about the game!
