In an exciting development, the creators of the free-to-play PvP RTS game, Wild Forest, have officially introduced a fresh Lord staking system. This initiative, teased earlier with the addition of Training Camps, aims to enhance community engagement and will be implemented progressively in the coming weeks.
Introducing the New Lord Staking System in Wild Forest
The primary objective of this revamped staking system is to foster long-term loyalty among players. Unlike the previous model, which required NFT holders to lock their assets for a fixed 90-day period, the new system offers the flexibility to stake and unstake at any time. By maintaining your Lord’s staked status, you can unlock various premium features and enjoy escalating rewards the longer you keep your asset in the staked state.
Immediate Benefits of Staking
As a holder, you can enjoy a host of immediate perks upon staking:
- Increased daily minting limits
- Access to exclusive Castle features based on Lord rarity, including Training Camps, Taverns, Recruitment Camps, and Campfires
- Enhanced Shard and Gold bonuses from the Battle Pass
- Priority access to limited pre-sales and new Units
- Exclusive invitations to events and NFT sales
Long-Term Staking Advantages
The longer you stake your assets, the more significant benefits you can secure:
- Castle Leasing: Rent out Castles to generate $WF tokens.
- Reputation Boost: Gain substantial reputation points by staking for extended periods.
- Increased DAO Voting Power: Longer staked assets yield more influential voting rights.
- Exclusive Guild Access: Eventually, stakers may form unique Guilds and compete in dedicated leagues, with Guild size being influenced by staking duration and Lord rank. Further details will be shared as the system develops.
Staking Streak Rewards
To promote long-term staking, players can acquire bonuses through streaks. By staking every day, you can boost your streak and access enhanced rewards. Here’s how the bonus progression works:
- Start at 0% and aim for 100% bonus access within the first 30 days.
- Continuing staking can elevate bonuses to 125% by three months, 155% by six months, and potentially even 200% by nine months, though these values may be adjusted to ensure balance.
Special Bonuses for Loyal Stakers
Dedicated stakers can look forward to these valuable bonuses:
- Higher daily mint limits
- Better Shard and Gold rewards in the Battle Pass
- Increased Gold drops in Camps
- Reduced training times at Training Camps
- Discounts on Unit prices in the Tavern
- Enhanced chances of obtaining rare Units from Recruitment Camps
- Improved priority for future events, including whitelisting opportunities
Transitioning from the Old to the New Staking System
During the update period, all currently staked Lords will retain full access to previous features. The existing staking streaks will remain active, helping unlock higher bonuses in the future. For enthusiasts eager to maximize their future rewards, it’s advisable to continue staking until the new re-staking feature is introduced in early October.
Upcoming Features Timeline
The development team has laid out a timeline for new updates:
- Taverns will launch this week
- Recruitment Camps and Campfires are expected to go live in early October
- Streak bonuses will be integrated by the end of October
- Castle Leasing features are scheduled for release in November
Participation in the $WF Community Round
Those who have staked Lord NFTs for over 30 days will be rewarded with a share of the $600k Community Round. Additionally, players with a streak of 90 days or more will receive a higher allocation to acknowledge their loyalty and risk. More information regarding this reward initiative will be shared soon.
If you’re new to staking, you may still be eligible for participation as extra allocations will be available based on individual staking streaks.
Stay tuned for further details regarding the Community Round and the upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE) for the $WF token.
