After weeks of intense discussion, AavegotchiDAO has voted to launch a brand-new season of Rarity Farming. Can you believe we’re already ELEVEN seasons in?!
This season is especially historic: for the first time ever, Rarity Farming will be hosted entirely on Base. The migration to Base opens our community to a whole new wave of players and collectors ready to join the Gotchiverse.
Even better, the DAO has approved a total of 3 million GHST across two confirmed seasons. Season 11 kicks off this week, and Season 12 is already locked in for later this year. With this massive prize pool secured, Base users can dive in with confidence knowing there are serious rewards waiting on the other side.
The excitement is real, and the competition is fierce. Acquire the shiniest wearables you can and get ready to strike a pose!
Just like before, this season will run for eight weeks, broken down into four rounds that each last two weeks. At the end of each round, we’ll take on-chain snapshots of the leaderboards and hand out some awesome prizes, including $GHST and NFT badges for your Aavegotchis.
Let’s make Season 11 the best one yet!
Rarity Farming FAQs
What is Rarity Farming?
Rarity Farming is an entirely onchain (own-to-earn) competition that offers players the chance to earn rewards by boosting rarity levels of their Aavegotchi NFTs. By equipping Aavegotchis with the rarest Wearable NFTs, petting them twice (not once) daily, and participating in XP-packed events, players are lining them up for some serious $GHST rewards across three distinct leaderboards.
Each element plays a crucial role in boosting your Aavegotchi's standing in the realm of Rarity Farming. So, gear up, show some love, and hit those events hard – your Aavegotchi and your wallet will thank you for it!
Show Me the Money!
This season, 1.5 million GHST (more than $700k USD at the time of writing) is up for grabs during the eight-week Rarity Farming period.
With 3 million GHST total confirmed across Seasons 11 and 12, there has never been a better time for new frens on Base to acquire their first Aavegotchi.
How to Participate?
To participate in Rarity Farming Season 11, you just need to own an Aavegotchi, or alternatively, you can borrow one from a player who is offering a split on $GHST earned during the borrowing period with Gotchi Lending.
AavegotchiDAO Funded
The most active gaming DAO in the world has once again stepped up to the plate. Not only did the proposal for Rarity Farming SZN 11 pass with ease, but player rewards will once again be fully funded by AavegotchiDAO!
Payout Allocations
The DAO has confirmed the same allocations as in recent seasons:
- Rarity (50%)
- Kinship (20%)
- XP (10%)
As well 20% reserved for Gotchi Battler, the turn-based game based entirely on each Aavegotchi’s onchain traits. Their tournaments will coincide with the new seasons throughout the rest of this year.
As always, all participating Aavegotchis have the chance to win non-transferable badges and trophies designed by Xibot, the summoner and lead artist of Aavegotchi. These rare badges are deposited directly into your Aavegotchi to forever prove its unique onchain history of success.
Four Ways to Win
Rarity Score
Rarity is the main rewards pool, with 50% of player rewards allocated to this leaderboard. An Aavegotchi’s rarity score is determined based on a number of factors, including:
- Randomly generated traits when the Aavegotchi is summoned
- Points earned from equipping Wearables and Wearable sets
- Changes to trait scores earned by leveling up
- Changes to trait scores made possible by the aging mechanic
To climb this leaderboard, either purchase or summon the rarest Aavegotchi you can, then continue to boost their rarity using the right combination of Wearables and Wearable sets.
Kinship
Climbing the Kinship ladder is less capital-intensive than Rarity. To increase your Aavegotchi’s kinship, simply pet it twice a day (once every 12 hours) or feed it kinship potions.
It’s also important to note that for each 24-hour period that passes without petting your Aavegotchi, its kinship score will decrease by one. To climb this leaderboard, make sure you interact with your GotchiGang every 12 hours!
XP
XP (Experience Points) is the final leaderboard, which allows anyone with an internet connection the ability to earn XP on their Aavegotchi’s behalf. Players can earn XP by voting in the AavegotchiDAO, attending community events, or playing Aavegotchi games like the tower defense/strategy hybrid, Gotchi Guardians.
To climb this leaderboard, stay active in the Aavegotchi Discord and keep an eye on our social media platforms so you know how and when you can earn XP!
Gotchi Battler
Craft your ultimate Aavegotchi squad, fine-tune their formation, and secure victory in thrilling battles to the death!
