Hello everyone!

Season 25 is upon us, and we have something special prepared for you — season-exclusive items! Some of the awesome things about them include:

• They are upgradeable
• They have a scalable rarity
• …And also cost only about $1

Let’s dive right in!

What do Seasonal Items do?

Seasonal Items provide a boost to a specific metric, like material mining, XP and so on — just like regular items do. The key differences are that Seasonal Items expire, do not have levels and require different types of blends for upgrades.

Seasonal Items are only available via Gear Boxes from a drop. Each Gear Box costs ca. $1 in $WOMBAT tokens. You can also craft one using Air and Moss Wombatiums.

How do I upgrade a Seasonal Item?

Improving an Item

You don’t have to search high and low for a Mythic item to have any sort of meaningful impact on your stats. You can use a Chipped or Flawed Gem to boost the benefit it provides with a bonus on top, depending on the gem.

Upgrading the Item’s rarity

If gem-induced extras are not enough, you can also blend three identical Seasonal Items into one of a higher rarity. The initial breakdown will look something like this:

• 3x Common Items + 500 $WOMBAT -> 1x Rare Item
• 3x Rare Items + 1000 $WOMBAT -> 1x Epic Item
• 3x Epic Items + 2000 $WOMBAT -> 1x Legendary Item
• 3x Legendary Items + 4000 $WOMBAT -> 1x Mythic Item

The exact rates and $WOMBAT fees may change depending on the Item.

What is the Season 25 Item?

The first-ever Seasonal Item is a Wizard’s Stamina Charm, a great piece of equipment to reduce the consumption of Stamina.

Note that it will take up the Amulet slot, and its effects do not stack with other items affecting Stamina.

The Stamina consumption cut provided by the Wizard’s Charm doubles with every rarity upgrade, similar to the Luminous Sun Amulet.

• Common — 3.13%
• Rare — 6.25%
• Epic — 12.5%
• Legendary — 25%
• Mythic — 50%

Wrapping it up

We hope the new system will help you experiment with the builds season over season and bring even more variety to your adventures. As always, we’d love to hear your feedback on it, and we wish you a great new season ahead!

This blog post will be updated with blend links after they are created.

Introducing Seasonal Items in Dungeon Master! was originally published in Wombat Blog on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Hello everyone!

This season, we’re switching up rewards and vaults in Dungeon Master from $WOMBAT to $USDC. The changes will go live early next week.

Why change the rewards token?

This is a transitionary measure we’re implementing to give you a more predictable gauge of your rewards. These include base Season rewards, Bonus rewards and Vaults. Another reason for that is reducing token emissions.

How does it work?

The USDC payouts will go live both across Polygon and WAX. The conversion rate will be set at 0.324 USDC per 100000 points for season rewards. Thus, the payout structure will look as follows.

Total season points payout: 9,000 USDC

• Experienced Pool: 8,550 USDC
• Newbie Pool: 450 USDC

Total bonus pool: 6,000 USDC at 0,0006 USDC per Wombat Bonus point.

The bonus pool conversion rate is also valid for the Vaults. The USDC Vaults will be limited to Season 23 — so any previously vaulted points will retain a $WOMBAT payout when due.

The transition to USDC will also come with the content change within the game itself to help you get used to the new system. We will post a follow-up notice a day before the changes go live.

Token burn — January 2025 was originally published in Wombat Blog on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Hello everyone!

The end of 2024 is here — an appropriate time to get reflective. Some of the highlights that made our journey so far include:

• 40+ new games launched
• 1M+ ecosystem growth
• Chainmonsters, AtomicHub and Wasder joining the ecosystem
• 300+ games on the platform
• ca. 220k total token holders across all chains
• 93M+ tokens taken out of circulation including the December burn — all thanks to the new, ecosystem activity approach

One crucial metric, however, leaves us all not entirely satisfied with our work, even if it gave us important learnings for the PLAI launch ahead. After a surge in price in January, both WOMBAT and WAS have lost their value with a few good runs in between. At the same time, we were unable to progress with the development of Chainmonsters at the desired pace. There were some objective reasons for that but we acknowledge our own shortcomings, with us being so set in our focal areas that many Web3 truths have slipped by. All bitter lessons that we will take into account when building PlayMind — as well as the importance of your feedback and involvement.

The result of our own curiosity and experimentation with generative AI, agent bots and Chainmons training has inspired us to take on this new path. We are looking forward to its fruits and hence, for the next month, solely focusing on the fruitful results of the PLAI launch rather than on optics and formalities. Here is what you can expect to come in January.

Alignment of the final pieces

With the end result and its impact in mind, we made a conscious decision to move the launch date. The feedback on the whitepaper and the overall direction of the launch from VIPs, advisors and other concerned parties also supports that notion. This, along with a few exciting opportunities, informed our approach to launch PLAI better and with a much bigger, bolder vision rather than adhering to a date. This does not mean the indefinite postponement — worst case scenario, it will go live in February-early March.

That being said, we haven’t just been sitting idly this entire time. Here’s what’s been happening:

• Third-party technical blockers removed.
• More KOLs, advisors and partners are onboarded and in talks.
• We got a chance to work with Haptic — a company responsible for branding of Portal and the like. In the short time we’ve cooperated with them, they were able to deliver a heap of building blocks in high quality, and we expect this to give PlayMind a sharper, more eye-catching edge than our current visuals have.
• Previous concerns about the potential market change after January 20th were invalidated by a few key institutional investors.
• We’ve bolstered our marketing team recently, and our new colleague had a lot of ideas that we’re confident will make this launch into an experience rather than a one-off thing. Also, another seasoned Web3 advisor is aiding our efforts with intros, input, pitching and so on.
• Finally, we got connected to a gaming industry vet for consulting and potential endorsement. Having PlayMind validated by someone with 30+ years of gamedev experience is rewarding on its own — however, this connection might also help us with the first publisher deal for the protocol.

In summary, without wanting to crunch all the good things into the pre-launch phase, we are driven by two major directives: secure support, validation and comms network for PlayMind post- and pre-launch and give it a strong and sustainable start to create value for you. We understand that it will initially come with some disappointment. You have all been looking forward to the launch of PLAI, as have we. That said, our team treats this as much more than a technical switch. And what we’re preparing, we’re sure, will be a very pleasant cascade of surprises for you.

With that in mind, happy holidays and thank you for being a part of this tumultuous but incredible journey — 2025 will be THE year of PLAI!

Ecosystem recap for 2024 — and the exciting times ahead! was originally published in Wombat Blog on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Q4 2024 is well underway! The past month has seen a lot of progress behind the scenes on all fronts, as we look to have a strong end to 2024 and hit the ground running in 2025.

Let’s look at what we’ve been working on over the past month.

New tokens

With markets picking up, we’re watching the market closely. We continue to be in regular contact with multiple exchanges and partners for the launch of both the new Spielworks token and the Chainmonsters token, including strong conversations on exciting new partnerships.

Speaking of these tokens, we have noted concerns regarding the tickers, and will both address and confirm these tickers in due course.

We hear you — you want more info, you want more communication, and ultimately, you want the tokens to be released. We’re super excited for the launch of both of these tokens, and rest assured we’re doing everything we can to ensure these launches go as well as possible.

Our teams continue to plan for their release, and we will share more details in due course.

Tapmonsters

As stated above, the implementation of Chainmon Training and Battles in Tapmonsters is taking longer than anticipated.

We’re still on track for these features to be live before we launch the Chainmonsters token, and we’ll have more to share before the end of the month.

Gems in Dungeon Master

November 13 saw the debut of Gems in Dungeon Master — an all-new way to enhance your gear sets, earn value via NFT buybacks, and supercharge your gameplay.

Gem Pack sales have been strong so far, with over 1,600 packs sold so far and over 4,200 Gems now out in the wild!

Platform growth

Looking at AtomicHub’s daily trading volume vs. September, there have been encouraging signs — even after disregarding the impact of major drops. This has likely been spurred by the bullish sentiment around Web3 at the moment, and we hope this is a sign of things to come.

As mentioned, the impact of Gems has also been positive on both AtomicHub trading and Dungeon Master itself, and we continue to analyze the impact of this new feature on the game.

Across our various platforms, we’ve seen a flurry of new users enter the ecosystem, and we’re keeping our eyes peeled for any opportunities to capitalize on this for the benefit of the community at large.

On the token front, 8.3% of the total supply of $WOMBAT is currently staked for Wombat VIP benefits. This is far higher than comparable ecosystems and shows the value that the community sees in the VIP system.

We’re hoping to build on this value with the launch of the new Spielworks token, and you can learn more about how that will work via our whitepaper.

New games on Wombat

The past month has seen the introduction of 7 new titles on Wombat: Harvest Land, Puzzles & Survival, Block Blast!, Colorwood Sort, Mokens League, and Mergest Kingdom.

We’re always looking to add more quality mobile titles to the Wombat app, so if there’s a particular game you’d like to see on Wombat, let us know via our social channels!

Partnerships

We’ve been working hard to foster important partnerships for both of our new tokens, and for the future of our ecosystem at large.

These conversations are ongoing, and we hope to announce some major players arriving soon. Trust us, this will be worth the wait!

Wrapping up 2024

Before the end of the year, we’re looking to release the following:

• Initial release of Chainmon Training in Tapmonsters
• Reveal our first major token partner
• Launch the Spielworks token

As always, be sure to follow our socials for live updates, and join the conversation on Discord to catch the latest from our team. Until next month!

Token burn — November 2024 was originally published in Wombat Blog on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Hello, Dungeoneers!

On November 13th, we’re introducing a new feature to Dungeon Master: Gems.

These allow you to improve your production rates, earn value through NFT buybacks — with 10% of net profits going back towards burning $WOMBAT — and be in with a chance at BIG $WUF rewards!

For a full breakdown of the Gems feature, please visit our Gems FAQ.

What are Gems?

Gems are a new way to upgrade Professions gear. By using Gems to enhance your gear, you will boost your production.

There are six types of Gems, each corresponding to a different type of Professions gear:

• Emerald: Increased XP boosts from the Professor’s Set
• Ruby: Higher chances for additional NFTs from the Collector’s Set
• Diamond: Enhanced Contribution Points from the Cook’s Set
• Sapphire: Increased run speed from the Sprinter’s Set
• Topaz: Increased token earnings from the Banker’s Set
• Amethyst: Enhancement of an unannounced Set

Each type of Gem comes in 5 levels of increasing power, ranging from Chipped to Perfect.

A full breakdown of the production boosts given by each Gem can be found in the Gems FAQ.

We will be monitoring the impact of Gems as they roll out, and may make adjustments to the boosts given by each Gem post-launch for better balance.

How do I upgrade Gems?

Gems will be available to blend via NeftyBlocks. We will provide a direct link once Gems are live on November 13.

By blending three Gems of the same rarity, players can obtain one gem of a higher rarity.

Be warned — when blending Gems, there is a small chance that the blend will fail. If it does, you will lose all the Gems used in the blend.

A full breakdown of the Gem upgrade failure rates can be found in the Gems FAQ.

What is the Gem buyback system?

On top of giving the biggest bonuses, Perfect Gems — the highest tier available — have another advantage: we will purchase them from you at any time!

We’re doing this for two main reasons:

1. To ensure steady floor prices across all tiers of Gems
2. To give the community guaranteed liquidity on the highest tiers of Gems

We hope this will encourage players to take the risk of upgrading their gems, whilst ensuring there’s available liquidity for Perfect Gems. We also believe this will help to drive Gem trading on AtomicHub, and therefore help drive $WOMBAT token burns.

How do I acquire Gems?

Starting November 13, Gems will be available via unlimited pack drops on NeftyBlocks. Two types of Gem packs will be available:

• Simple Gem Pack: 31.25 $WAX, contains 1 gem
• Great Gem Pack: 312.5 $WAX, contains 2 gems

Simple Gem Packs will only drop the first tier of Gems, Chipped Gems. Great Gem Packs have a chance to drop all tiers of Gems — even Perfect Gems!

A full breakdown of the Gem drop rates for both packs is available in the Gems FAQ.

Alongside Gem boosts, we will also be keeping an eye on drop rates to ensure Gem distribution is fair and balanced, and may make adjustments for balance if necessary.

How do I use Gems?

Gems of any tier can be used to enhance gear. This will use NeftyBlocks’ NFT upgrade feature, also used for Wombot Miners.

All rarities of Professions gear can be enhanced with Gems. Once enhanced, the gear will be available for normal use in your Dungeon Master inventory.

If you upgrade the Level or Rarity of your gear, any production boosts from Gem enhancement will be lost.

The maximum production boost will be set by the bonus provided by a Perfect Gem of that type. For example, a Perfect Diamond Gem provides a 55% production boost, therefore the production boost cap for Cook’s gear is 55% per piece of gear.

How do I earn $WUF rewards?

The first wallet to obtain the #1 mint of each Perfect Gem will receive a WUFFI token prize. The prizes are as follows:

• #1 Perfect Emerald: 100M $WUF
• #1 Perfect Ruby: 150M $WUF
• #1 Perfect Diamond: 1B $WUF
• #1 Perfect Sapphire: 400M $WUF
• #1 Perfect Topaz: 200M $WUF
• #1 Perfect Amethyst: 150M $WUF

We will send these prizes directly to winning wallets on November 15, or after the associated Gems have been minted.

In Conclusion

We’re very excited about the launch of the Gems feature to Dungeon Master, and we hope it’ll add an interesting new facet to gameplay that provides opportunities to all players — no matter your Mining Power!

We’ve created a dedicated FAQ for Gems in Dungeon Master, which includes a full breakdown of the Gems system, and the various percentage rates, drop rates and failure rates involved. You can visit the Gems FAQ here.

As always, our CEO Adrian will be happy to discuss the Gems and take any questions on our Adrian’s Tavern stream on Monday (November 11).

If you have any further questions, please reach out to our team on Discord or Telegram.

Good luck, Dungeoneers!

Token burn —  October 2024 was originally published in Wombat Blog on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Hello everybody. We sincerely apologize for the ongoing issues, and we want to provide you with an update on the current situation.

Since last week, we’ve been dealing with a few user-facing errors on the WAX network. So far, with your help, we were able to identify the following:

• Direct NFT transfers over AtomicHub appearing unprocessed on the frontend
• Secondary marketplace trades appearing unfulfilled on the frontend
• Inventory purchased via drops not transferred to the new owners’ accounts

Our team has initially identified a memory leak on the node as the core issue. Attempting to fix it unveiled another network of interconnected attritions. We believe that any sustainable fix is impossible until these are addressed and resolved.

To speed up the process, we deployed additional developer resources solely to this project at the highest priority. We have already made progress with inventory-related errors, so you should now see your recently transferred or purchased WAX NFTs on AtomicHub. If not and if clearing the browser cache doesn’t help, please, contact us and provide us your WAX account name. The next action item on our list is the primary sales service to ensure stability for upcoming drops and retroactively carry out sales transactions in the ‘reserved’ state.

Unfortunately, with the memory leak still at the forefront, we’ll need to process a significant amount of data to restore operations. This means that there will be delays. As of now, we don’t anticipate a fix this week. We will, however, give you a definite deadline for that next week.

Activity on other networks continues as normal — that said, we will take this as an opportunity to review the code for Polygon, Immutable X and zkEVM as well to ensure nothing of the sort happens on these blockchains.

We fully understand that this is not the update you were waiting for, and we share your frustration. We will keep you updated on our progress and hope to share more than just a clearer timeline next week.

We are grateful for every report that brought this to our attention and every suggestion coming in from the community. Please know that we are doing everything in our power to restore AtomicHub on WAX to the smooth, fast, and reliable experience you’ve come to love. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time.
