Events & Systems
Recurring systems that shape the economy: burn-to-earn hunts, time-limited Black Market rotations, and high-excitement mechanics like Fatebound Cache.
Treasure Hunt Pass
What began as a monthly burn-to-earn grind has evolved into a layered progression system that rewards short-term activity and long-term strategy.
Monthly
Each month, captains burn Twitch-earned NFTs into passes that earn a share of a monthly $RUM prize pool and unlock raffles.
Treasure Hunt Pass (1 share)
- 4 Driftwood Shards
- 3 Coral Beads
- 2 Kraken Inks
- 1 Golden Fang
- 2 Map Fragments
Gilded Pass (3 shares + raffle)
- 2 regular Treasure Hunt Passes
- 1 Pirate's Relic
- 4 Map Fragments
- 25 $RUM
Gilded holders enter a spin-wheel raffle for exclusive bottle NFTs.
Monthly rewards
Snapshot at month end. Prize pool: 5,000 $RUM, distributed proportionally by shares (Regular=1, Gilded=3).
- Helmsman bonus: +10% tickets, rounded up.
- Eternal bonus: +5% tickets per Mythic bottle, rounded up and stackable.
No limits: blend as many passes as you can afford. Burn → earn → repeat.
Quarterly
A quarterly prestige layer crafted by burning multiple Gilded passes plus rare resources and $RUM. This is for captains who commit.
- Rewards include a quarterly pool of 15,000 WAX.
- Entry into the Grand Fleet Raffle.
- Access to top-tier NFTs (Mythic Ships, Mythic Pirates, etc.).
Strategy rule: the final month of each quarter forces a choice — use passes for the monthly hunt or burn them toward the Grand hunt. You cannot do both.
Recycling (quarter transitions)
At the start of a new quarter, captains can convert previous monthly passes into the new quarter's first month. Recycling is designed to be adaptive:
- 1:1 conversion baseline
- Plus additional resource and/or $RUM burn (changes per quarter)
Yearly
A long-horizon prestige layer is planned for future seasons.
Black Market
The Black Market is a rotating, time-limited blend system that helps manage resource inflation and burns $RUM through dynamic recipes.
Rotations
- Three blend slots active per rotation.
- Each blend lasts 24 hours to 7 days.
- $RUM is always required; some deals require low-tier resources too.
Premium slot (Helmsmen)
Some rotations include one Helmsman-only premium slot with high-impact rewards (Relics, bottles, exclusive items). Recipes are tuned over time based on mint levels and market activity.
