Genesis Era Guide

When the timer runs out, the world will shift. The Genesis Era is a time for asset accumulation. Everything you manage to "secure" now will grant you an unfair advantage at the start of the global MMORPG.

✅ WHAT TRANSFERS TO THE NEW CHAPTER (CLAN WARS):

• Identity & Network: Your Account and Nickname.
• Your Referral Network (all invited friends remain linked to you forever).
• Unique AI Legend: Your character, crafted by the neural network, is permanently inscribed into the SLCW chronicles. While you don't "own" the lore asset, your character becomes part of the game's history (as an NPC, quest hero, or historical figure).
• Wealth & Inventory: Currency: All accumulated Gold and Diamonds.
• Inventory: All Resource Chests. This is your strategic reserve for instant base development at launch.
• Artifacts: Components for crafting the Sword of Power (Blood Shards, Spirals).
• Infrastructure (Critically Important!): Expeditions: Your Expedition levels and duration are saved.
• ⚠️ WARNING: After the Genesis Era ends, the ability to buy or upgrade Expeditions will be removed forever. The number of "suppliers" will be fixed. Only Genesis players will remain the exclusive providers of Sword of Power parts to the market.
• Patrons: All created Patrons and their buff cards are transferred.
• Power & Status: City Ownership: If you claimed a City, you begin the new chapter as its Lord. You will need to develop and defend it.
• Citizenship: Your residence in your first city is retained.
• Titles: All Titles are transferred.
• NFT Titles: Tradable.
• Standard Titles: Remain on the account (Soulbound), provide stats, but cannot be transferred.

❌ WHAT WILL BE RESET (THE WIPE):

The following elements exist only within the qualifying season and will be converted or removed:

• Rankings & Reputation: These will be converted into your share of the Prize Pool ($30,000+) and then reset. In the new world, the race starts from zero.
• Battle Pass: Current pass progress is wiped.
• Event Items: All Holiday items (Gifts, Tokens, Candy) will be removed. Use them before the timer ends!
• Artifact Market: The current order book will be cleared. All active orders and items will be returned to owners' inventories before closure.

The Financial Model

We have rejected random lotteries. In Shard Legends, every player earns exactly what they put into the development of the world.

• General Pool: Starting amount is $30,000.
• Pool Growth: 100% of all Diamond purchases by players automatically replenish this fund.
• Entry to Distribution: To qualify for a payout, you must purchase a 'Participant Ticket' for 99 Diamonds ($1).
• Payout Formula: Your Payout = (Total Pool) × (Your Reputation / Total Reputation of all players).
