According to DappRadar data, in the past month, the number of independent users of the chain game Pixels has continued to rise, reaching 1.54 million, ranking first in the entire RON ecosystem and far ahead of the second place.
On the other hand, compared to most chain games, Pixels has a lower gold-making cost, and you can even start making gold every day at zero cost. Although according to the latest AMA, it is emphasized that the daily reward pool for "free players" will be reduced and VIP user rewards will be increased, the monthly investment cost of becoming a VIP user is only US$10, which is acceptable to experienced players of most chain games. within the range.
So, how can we participate in Pixels and earn money efficiently? Through practical experience during this period, communication with senior users, and recent AMA content, a set of gold-making strategies are given that are suitable for the vast majority of users.
AMA key content extraction
On April 3, the official AMA held a lot of "dry information" that is worthy of our in-depth discussion.
First, Luke explains the token economics of Pixels. The monthly unlocks for Pixels are mainly divided into three parts, namely:
- 28 million Pixels tokens: The monthly token rewards in the ecosystem are also the part that focuses on adjustments in this AMA. The core is how to effectively distribute these monthly unlocked tokens to real users instead of Robots, etc.;
- 10 million Pixels tokens: tokens that are deposited into the project vault every month. Luke said that the team will not misappropriate these tokens without authorization. The use of the vault tokens needs to be decided by community members through voting and other methods before they can be used;
- 3.125 million Pixel tokens: distributed monthly to contributors to projects such as team consultants.
Secondly, it is also the highlight of this AMA - how to efficiently distribute the 28 million Pixel tokens unlocked every month. According to Luke's statement, this part of the content needs to be continuously optimized throughout the next 3-6 months, 12 months or even longer.
Specifically, efficient distribution of monthly unlocked tokens means continuous optimization of the Taskboard. As a first step, the team plans to divide the large reward pool of the mission board into two reward pools for free players and VIP/land holders. The latter will occupy a larger reward pool, and the rewards of the two are independent.
The second step is to refine more small reward pools. In order to increase the diversity of the game, Luke said that in addition to the two reward pools for free players and VIP/land holders, more reward pools will be refined, such as: total skill points exceeding 100, owning pets for 100 days, only planting Various qualifications such as carrots, joining a union, forming a union, etc.
So, how should we effectively farm gold this time?
Pixels gold mining strategy
Before proceeding with specific strategies, let me first share a tool website ( click here ). This website summarizes the prices, unit energy output, unit time profit, etc. of various materials in Pixels. It is a must-have website for gold farming.
Since Pixels includes planting, breeding, mining, cicada raising, chicken raising, bee raising, etc., it is very confusing for novices. Therefore, combined with this website, we analyzed a set of advanced gold-making tutorials suitable for junior players. You can optimize based on this.
Before the formal explanation, everyone needs to understand that our core goal is "how to obtain 'cost-effective materials' in exchange for as many gold coins as possible under the conditions of limited energy every day."
First of all, chicken and beekeeping are the core. Enter the website and select the "Resources" column to observe the material prices, income, skill consumption and other information produced by various skills. According to the data, it can be clearly seen that excluding some cooking materials (since it does not consume energy, this part of the operation strategy will be discussed later), "raising chickens to produce eggs and raising bees to produce honey" are the two ways to obtain the most gold coins per unit of energy.
Some readers may question that it is obviously more profitable to cut down trees and produce flour, but both trees and windmills are limited resources (you don’t need them if others use them), and the waiting time cannot be determined, so the output per unit time is uncertain. Definitely, not an efficient way to produce.
Then, we need to use this website to find out which land can raise chickens and which land can keep bees. Just select the "Lands" column above. According to the picture below, if there is a "chicken" mark in the Coop column, it means that the land can raise chickens. However, it should be noted that because some land holders may be set to "closed" (other people cannot obtain various resources on the land), you need to go to the specific land label to confirm.
For beekeeping, just select "Apiary" in the section shown in the picture below. You can fill in up to four places, that is, there are 4 "hives" on the land.
Secondly, part of the daily energy is reserved for growing some crops that appear on the task board. At present, friends who buy materials in the market often complain that popular materials are always unavailable, which is particularly time-consuming.
In fact, someone has asked Luke about this issue in previous AMAs. Luke's answer is that although the optimization of this part of the function will improve the game experience, the current development focus is on task board upgrades and Bot monitoring, which may not happen in the short term. Adjustment. Therefore, this part of the strategy is to save frequent trips to the market when making task board materials. It is recommended to stock up on various crops.
Finally, cooking is sustainable. Friends who have participated in cooking should find that cooking some foods does not consume energy. Therefore, if the price of the synthesized food is higher than the total price of the required raw materials, you can make unlimited loops to make money on the price difference through the secondary market, and earn more gold coins while increasing your skill points.
Overview
According to the content of this AMA, it can be seen that the share of rewards for free players will continue to shrink in the future. At the same time, if VIP users do not make strategic adjustments, the daily gold output may also be affected.
Therefore, according to the current resource prices, "raising chickens and bees mainly, supplemented by planting and cooking" is a good entry strategy. At the same time, we need to pay close attention to the reward changes on the mission board after Chapter 2 is launched.
