question_mark What can my Shill Punk do? arrow_drop_down Shill Punks are like a game character and can do many different things, with more activities being added over time.

question_mark What is a "SmartNFT"? arrow_drop_down Both Shill Punks & KegsRP are Smart NFTs - I have written a brief article on smart NFTs here: What's a Smart NFT
question_mark How do I find Wood & Scrap and what can I do with them? arrow_drop_down Wood and scrap can currently only be found by using the hikingExplore option on individual Punks via the Punks page. Wood & Scrap is primarily used for purchasing items through the Item Shop . These items are minted as NFTs on demand, with a random chance to get one of the variants available. The Duel page provides another avenue for you to spend Wood & Scrap, wagering on whether your punk will win!
question_mark What is the Arena? arrow_drop_down The Arena is the ultimate test of you and your selected champion's abilities! Punks battle each other in Fights, winners advance to the next round and fight again, until only 1 remains. Item's are allowed to be used in the Arena so make sure you equip yourself for the the best chance to win! The top 4 participants will be rewarded in XRP based on the wallet balance of: rSVxSCcUfgXBhqHeiaECf1WAe3vKq7XgD 1st - 2% 2nd - 1% 3rd & 4th - 0.5% A final note - Punks HP will decay if left in the Arena, 5 HP per Round they survive.
question_mark What do Stats do? arrow_drop_down Each punk has 6 Stats - Agility, Charisma, Endurance, Intelligence, Luck & Strength. These stats can be enhanced by equipping items from the Item Shop . These 6 stats will be used in a variety of ways throughout The Shillverse in future. Currently Charisma and Intelligence are only used during the hikingExplore action on your punks. Meanwhile the other stats directly affect fights: AgilityDodge Chance improved (about 1% per point)Attack chance improved (about 0.5% per point) Endurance+2 to HP per Point Endurance/2 damage blocked for each attack LuckCrit Chance 1% + 0.25% per Luck PointAdded Crit Damage StrengthMin Damage - 6+STRx1.5 Max Damage - 9 +STRx2Added Crit Damage
question_mark How does HP work? arrow_drop_down HP - Health Points / Hit Points is one of the core gameplay mechanics in the Shillverse. Each Punk starts with 100 Base HP - this is the amount of damage they can take in fights. But it is also "used" like stamina. HP can be increased by training or equipping Items that increase Endurance. For each point of Endurance your Total HP will increase by 2! However this will not affect your Base HP. And actions that require you to have a certain amount of HP (such as Duels) will not work if you have 0! healingResting via the Punks page can restore health! This is calculated as roll between: 2 + (Luck/6 - rounded down) + (Intelligence/6 - rounded down)4 + Luck/5 - rounded up) + (Intelligence/5 - rounded up) At the moment sending your Punk as the Champion to fight in the Arena has the greatest risk - both for their HP & their stats. The further they get into the Arena the more HP they lose, currently 5HP per round!They also have a chance to lose Stat points when taking big punches! This gameplay mechanic encourages players to have a "Squad" of Punks they cycle through the Arena or use for different actions. Another action that affects HP negatively is Duels - Dueling for Wood or Scrap is a great way to use your punks who are not participating in the Arena - however each Duel will "Cost" 20 base HP points. Punks cannot participate in Duels if they have less than 20 base HP points.
question_mark It says my Action list is full, when do actions reset? arrow_drop_down Each punk has 5 actions per 24 hour period - not including Arena & Duel fighting. These actions reset at midnight at UTC+0 timezone. A countdown is viewable via the Punks page.
