Axie Infinity (AXS) became a popular NFT game because it experienced an increase in users due to its ability to make money.
There are many who report steady income from this game even reaching millions per week.
It makes many people want to know how income is earned.
What is Game Axie Infinity?
In short, Axie Infinity is a cryptocurrency game with a game concept that combines the concepts of Animal Crossing, Pokemon, and Tamagotchi.
Later, players must buy, collect, and empower virtual animals named axie. These axies can generate crypto coins. The more or rarer axies you get, the more money you can earn. Tempting, isn't it?
The founders of Axie Infinity are Trung Nguyen and Aleksander Larsen. Under the auspices of developer Sky Mavis, this NFT game was created in 2018 and further strengthens the rising blockchain gaming industry.
How to Play Axie Infinity?
The way the game itself is fairly easy, like the battle in the pokemon game. But you are required to have initial capital to buy Axie.
Therefore, if there is a question "How to play Axie Infinity without capital?", then the answer is no.
To play this game you have to buy 3 Axies first. On the Axie Infinity marketplace, it can be seen that the cheapest 1 Axie price is 0.016 ETH or around $52 on January 15, 2022.
The price of each Axie fluctuates according to the value of the etherium crypto coin. So, the estimated initial capital you need to be able to play Axie Infinity is around $156 - $200 with the gas transaction fee.
However, this problem can be overcome by participating in the Axie Infinity scholarship which will be discussed in another article.
This article will explain how to make money through the game Axie Infinity.
1. Complete Daily Tasks or Quests
The first and easiest way to make money from the game Axie Infinity is to complete the given daily tasks.
These daily tasks can range from simply logging into your account to playing against other players or the computer.
By doing daily tasks, players will be rewarded in the form of 50 SLP where currently 1 SLP or Smooth Love Potion is worth around $0.018.
Keep in mind that this daily task will expire every 24 Hours, so players must complete the task before the 24 Hours finish.
This 24 Hours starts from 07.00 WIB to 06.00 WIB the next day, the same as the crypto market price update time.
2. Play Against Other Players
The next step is to play against other players. Please note that this game is almost similar to Pokemon.
The point is that in Axie Infinity, players will have an Axie or “pet monster” that can be bred and used to fight.
Later players can enter Arena mode to start playing against other players around the world.
Earnings from fighting other players vary and depend on how many trophies or trophies the player has.
Here is a list of possible earnings based on trophies held,
800 and below = No SLP
800-999 = 1 SLP
1000-1099 = 3 SLP
1100-1299 = 7 SLP
1300-1499 = 8 SLP
1500-1799 = 9 SLP
1800-1999 = 10 SLP
2000-2199 = 11 SLP
2200 and above = 12 SLP
Also keep in mind that each match has several rounds, and if you win against another player under five rounds, SLP will not be earned.
So when you feel you are going to win but are still under five rounds, it's a good idea for players to be able to hold back first.
3. Playing Against the Computer
The next way is to play against the computer which can be done in Advanture mode where the maximum income is 100 SLP per day.
In this mode players can earn SLP against the computer instead of against other players.
Income in this mode also depends on your Axie Level. The distribution of SLP by level is as follows,
1-4 = 1 SLP
5-9 = 2 SLP
10-14 = 4 SLP
15-16 = 6 SLP
17-20 = randomly between 6-10 SLP
21-36= at random between 10-20 SLP
Keep in mind that SLP will be obtained if you win and if you lose, SLP will not be obtained by the player so there is no income.
Therefore, before playing, it's a good idea to make a plan or strategy in advance so that you can generate SLP.
4. Breeding and Selling Axie
The last is to breed Axie or Breeding to get more opportunities to play or to sell it.
This Axie is in the form of an NFT or Non-Fungible Token, so when selling Axie, players will sell the original NFT from a personal wallet.
To breed Axie, players need SLP as a material to encourage the breeding process to occur.
Later the Axie can be sold, and seeing the current price, the sale can benefit players.
Currently, the cheapest Axie is at a price of around IDR 5 million, which has increased to trillions of rupiah at the time of writing.
But please note that to produce more Axie, players also need Axie, so there must still be an initial capital.
5. Staking AXS
In addition to the four methods previously mentioned, Axie currently has a new earning feature, namely AXS token staking.
Just like staking other tokens, staking of the game's native tokens can be done on Axie Infinity for rewards.
