Everything you need to know about RavenQuest’s $QUEST Token

🤔 Introduction

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let's define our terms. This section is your foundational knowledge for understanding the $QUEST token.

💡 $QUEST

$QUEST is RavenQuest’s core utility and governance token. It serves multiple crucial functions, acting as both a primary reward for meaningful participation and an essential resource for advanced progression and economic interaction.

Think of it this way: If Silver is your daily operational currency for repairs and basic needs, $QUEST is your strategic capital – the asset you leverage for major investments, power-ups, and a deeper stake in the RavenQuest world.

💰 Tokenomics

Before we dissect $QUEST, let's clarify: Tokenomics (Token + Economics) is the blueprint that defines how a digital currency, like $QUEST, functions within its ecosystem. It dictates:

• How it's earned (the sources).
• How it's spent or used (the sinks and utilities).
• How it's distributed initially and over time.
• Mechanisms for maintaining its value and stability.

In RavenQuest, tokenomics is about more than just simple supply and demand. It’s a carefully designed system aimed at long-term sustainability, rewarding player commitment, and seamlessly integrating engaging game mechanics with the tangible value of real-world digital assets.

🏆 Earning $QUEST

The avenues for accumulating $QUEST are diverse, rewarding dedication across multiple facets of gameplay. Here’s where savvy adventurers are focusing their efforts:

💰 Silver to $QUEST Exchange

Players meeting certain reputation and access requirements can convert their hard-earned in-game Silver into $QUEST via a peer-to-peer marketplace. This directly links your traditional gameplay grind to the Web3 economy.

🏡 Land Ownership

Owning NFT Land is a premier method for consistent $QUEST earnings. Land plot rarity and value multipliers directly influence the $QUEST received from exclusive airdrops and ongoing ecosystem reward distributions. Larger lands = larger $QUEST shares.

• Further boost earnings by developing your land and progressing related professions.
• Coming Soon: Land rentals will offer a passive $QUEST income stream for landowners.

📈 Merchant Influence

Delivering Primed Tradepacks earns Merchant Influence. This is tallied weekly, determining your share of a dedicated $QUEST reward chest distributed every Friday. More valuable/distant packs = more influence = more $QUEST. If you aren't familiar with Tradepacking check out our guide on all things Tradepacks.

🌟 FAME (Your Reputation Pays!)

Accumulated through a wide array of in-game activities: Adventure Board tasks, monster slaying, uncovering secrets, succeeding in large-scale battles, and more.

• Your total Fame, amplified by your Renown Multiplier, directly dictates your $QUEST earnings from personal Fame chests. This rewards consistent and diverse engagement.

🏰 Guild Fame Chests

Possessing a Guild Crest and actively contributing to your guild's Fame makes you eligible for weekly Guild Fame Chests, which distribute $QUEST among top-contributing members. Teamwork literally pays!

🎉 Special Events

Limited-time events and seasonal competitions often offer direct $QUEST rewards, providing unique challenges and incentives.

🃏 RavenCards & Cosmetic Collections

Expanding your RavenCard and cosmetic collections increases your Renown. Since Renown multiplies your Fame for $QUEST calculations, collectors indirectly boost their earning potential from Fame chests.

⚔️ Guild Wars & Leaderboards

Dominance in Guild Wars and high placement on guild leaderboards can yield substantial $QUEST rewards for guilds and their members, fueling a competitive GvG scene.

🔥 $QUEST Sinks

A healthy token economy requires meaningful sinks – mechanisms that remove tokens from active circulation or require them to be spent, thus supporting value. RavenQuest has several well-designed $QUEST sinks:

🔄 $QUEST to Silver Exchange

The reverse of earning – convert $QUEST back to Silver for in-game purchases. A small percentage of this peer-to-peer exchange flows back to the RavenQuest treasury, acting as a micro-sink.

💀 Restoring Soul After Death

Died? You can spend $QUEST (often at a 20% discount compared to Silver) to restore your soul and get back into the action faster.

🚀 Waypoints and Fast Travel

Use $QUEST, typically at a reduced rate versus Silver, to activate waypoints and fast travel, saving valuable time.

💎 Purchasing Exclusive Items (Ascendable)

The RavenStore offers premium, on-chain cosmetics, RavenPacks, and exclusive NFT items purchasable only with $QUEST. These items also contribute to your Renown.

👑 Optional Membership/Patron System

Unlock premium membership tiers with $QUEST for benefits like XP boosts, special rewards, and exclusive features.

🛡️ Guild Crest Purchase & Staking:

Creating a guild and acquiring Guild Crests costs $QUEST. The first is 100 $QUEST, increasing by 10 $QUEST for each additional active crest. 50% of this cost is staked (refundable if you leave the guild), while the other 50% is split between guild leadership and the treasury, effectively removing a portion from active circulation.

🎟️ $QUEST Pass

To list $QUEST for exchange (for Silver or Priming Certs), a one-time $QUEST Pass purchase is required. This also grants free RavenPacks as a bonus.

📜 Tradepack Certificates (Priming)

Acquire Tradepack Certs (used to boost Tradepacks for more Merchant Influence...10x) by spending $QUEST on the in-game marketplace.

🎉 Special Event Participation

Many special events may require $QUEST for entry fees, unlocking exclusive content, or accessing unique event features, often with rare rewards as incentive.
