There's too many crafting components on the in-game market and there isn't enough reason for players, especially those that own small farms in-game to pursue crafting/cooking. Every season there's a lot of CROP pumped into circulation from the reward pool and there's not a lot of events that convinces players to burn CROP. I think rerolling quests isn't enough, we need more ways to burn CROP while still adding more features in game. Link to the dCrops game.
The Plan:
Create a new blueprint item made available on the game shop worth 100 CROP.
Blueprint Item: Contains instructions to craft Random Chest
Random Chest created form the blueprint can have a random grade.
Random Chest Grade S+, S, all the way to F, from the rarest to common.
The rarity of chest grades correspond to the rarity of drop rates of rare NFTs with Random Chest Grade S+ providing the best chances.
Random Chest contains more blue prints, recipe, or materials that can't be obtained through any other method in the game but crafting.
To craft these random chest, one needs to stack up a lot of resources NFTs + maybe some random CROP into the mix.
This method can remove the supply of existing crafting materials from the market, have more avenues to burn CROP, and incentivize more players to hold CROP to have better chances of minting more crafting materials.
Legendary land, blueprints, seeds, and formulas that can only be obtained through crafting Random Chests.
Crafting random chests adds another layer of mechanic to the existing game economy and incentivizes more CROP holders while adding more reasons to burn CROP. Furthermore, this gives smaller farmers more reason to hold onto components for crafting and resell chests crafted to other players that want to pursue new content. If dCrops plans to introduce new content, it's easier to introduce them to the random chests crafted.
The starter pack worth 5$ is still too expensive.
Thanks for your time.
