*SERAPH: In the Darkness* Introduction
{% endembed %}


# The Story

*Our world was forged in flames.*

*As tongues of fire cloaked the skies, enshrining the Crown of Life, angels and demons waged an endless war for dominion. The head deity, wielding the Crown’s immense power, unleashed divine wrath upon the demons, striking them down and ushering light into the eternal darkness. The defeated were cast into the abyss, condemned to remain there for eternity.*

*In the distant War of Light, the Archangel Seraph, empowered by the Crown of Life, banished the vanquished demons to the depths of hell, sealing them away from the mortal realm. Upon this newfound peace, humanity flourished, building great cities and nations on fertile lands, burying the blood and tears of the past beneath the dust of time.*

*But prosperity waned as the trumpet of eternity sounded once more. Humanity, lost in the chaos of endless wars, forgot the sacrifices of the past. The bones of warriors turned to ashes, their memories fueling generations of hatred.*

*The Crown of Life crumbled.*\
*Its power shattered into a golden rain of fire, and the cursed demons, immortal in their torment, returned from the abyss to reclaim the world.*

*Judgment day draws near.*\
*Brave souls who emerge through the mist, grasp your sword tightly.*\
*Though the world lies desolate and faith has withered...*\
*Though evil reigns and benevolence finds no place…*

*Follow the pure light of guidance.*\
*Rediscover the shattered promise.*\
*Revisit the sacred ground of broken oaths.*\
*As the chosen king of humankind,*\
*Forge a new covenant and lead the world into salvation.*


# Our Vision

## Why Are We Making Seraph?

Our team has extensive experience in developing video and mobile games, with a particular focus on ARPGs. Since 2017, we have closely followed the world of crypto and were particularly inspired by the popular Loot project in 2021.

Loot is an NFT project featuring equipment represented as white text on a black background, designed for use in gameplay. Each NFT is randomly generated, offering high composability and customization potential.

In Seraph, each piece of equipment can also be a NFT equipment, making it an ideal concept for a crypto game. With sufficient gameplay depth, continued optimization, and innovative integration of Web3 technology, Seraph has the potential to lead the next wave of crypto gaming trends.

&#x20;

## What Are the Benefits of Combining Blockchain and Gaming?

**1. From a Blockchain Perspective**

Seraph uses blockchain technology to record player asset data, ensuring security, transparency, and true ownership of in-game assets. Blockchain’s tamper-proof nature empowers players to trade, collect, and fully control their assets, placing them at the center of the gaming experience.

This approach also enables more players to participate in a decentralized ecosystem designed with their needs in mind.

**2. From a Tokenomic Perspective**

Seraph’s native $SERAPH token is designed to foster long-term engagement and build a vibrant community that connects players and developers. This collaboration unlocks new opportunities across the ecosystem, ensuring sustainable growth and innovation.

&#x20;

## Challenges in the Current Crypto Gaming Landscape <a href="#nkhzc5wwfwjn" id="nkhzc5wwfwjn"></a>

We believe that the crypto games are still in its early stages, and there are numerous issues that need to be addressed with the games available on the market today.

**1. Lack of Gameplay Depth**

Many crypto games fail to offer immersive playing experiences. Most are built on DeFi-inspired prototypes, featuring superficial gameplay with different stories and tokens layered on top. Players often recognize these games as primarily focused on financial incentives, rather than entertainment value or fun.

The popularity of games like *Axie Infinity* was largely driven by the "play-to-earn" model. However, players seeking purely engaging gameplay often turn to established platforms like Steam, PS5, or Switch, where entertainment and depth take precedence over monetary rewards.

**2. Unsustainable Tokenomics**

Crypto games struggle to balance long-term player engagement with rewarding participants for their contributions. Many tokenomic models fail to address sustainability, leading to negative player experiences. Unsustainable systems often cause significant losses for participants, forcing them to make risky decisions or leave the ecosystem entirely.

These challenges highlight the need for a balanced approach that fosters both engagement and stability within the ecosystem.

**3. High Entry Barriers**

The first generation of crypto games targeted only crypto-native users, requiring extensive knowledge of wallets, NFTs, and blockchain mechanics. This approach excluded free players and the wider gaming audience. To participate, players needed to learn about crypto wallets, manage private keys, and purchase game assets in NFT form, which created a steep barrier to entry.

Although newer games have introduced free entry options for non-crypto players, the onboarding process remains overwhelming. For instance, a newcomer unfamiliar with crypto must register a wallet, store their private key, log in with an authorized signature, and navigate complex concepts like gas fees, smart contracts, and wallet security. These hurdles deter many potential players from entering the market.

**4. Lack of Community Consensus**

A cohesive worldview and shared gameplay experience are essential for fostering community consensus, a cornerstone of successful gaming ecosystems. While blockchain provides fertile ground for community-building, many crypto games fail to leverage this potential. The absence of a unified narrative or engaging shared experiences prevents these games from forming strong, sustainable communities.

&#x20;

## What Kind of Game Are We Building? <a href="#id-1pqqoy46peij" id="id-1pqqoy46peij"></a>

By leveraging the strengths of blockchain technology and addressing the challenges in the current market, we aim to provide players with a truly exceptional gaming experience. Our vision focuses on the following key goals:

**1. Focus on Player Experience and Gameplay Depth**

Seraph generates countless pieces of equipment randomly, enabling players to freely build their own unique equipment systems. This dynamic system creates a positive feedback loop: players defeat enemies, obtain valuable loot, and grow stronger while enjoying an immersive and engaging gaming experience. The combination of customization and progression ensures players remain captivated by the depth of the gameplay.

**2. Create a Stable and Sustainable In-Game Economy**

We place great importance on building a stable and sustainable in-game economy. From the early stages, we have carefully designed tokenomics to integrate seamlessly into the game, creating a robust foundation for long-term user engagement.

Drawing on token models tested in the market, we’ve implemented numerous optimizations to foster a sustainable economic cycle. By ensuring tokenomics supports the overall gameplay experience, Seraph creates a balanced and rewarding environment for all participants.

**3. Lower Entry Barriers and Expand the Ecosystem**

We believe that high entry barriers and lackluster gameplay are the two primary factors limiting the growth of the crypto gaming market. As game developers, we’ve worked to streamline onboarding processes to ensure they don’t distract or deter players from enjoying the game.

To achieve this, we’ve integrated Seraph’s account system with a blockchain wallet specifically designed for the game. This allows players to seamlessly enter the world of crypto gaming in a way that feels natural and intuitive. In the future, we will continue improving the player experience while expanding the overall ecosystem to attract a broader audience.

**4. Build an Interactive and Engaged Community**

Web3 tools play a central role in infusing new vitality into Seraph’s operations. By recording player actions and assets on-chain, we can create unique player profiles represented as NFTs. These profiles not only enhance personalization but also grant players influence within the ecosystem.

Assets and behaviors in the game affect voting rights for community governance, creating a system where players actively shape the game’s future. Over time, we plan to enhance existing governance mechanisms by adding game-driven elements and gradually opening up features for community control, blending gameplay with collaborative innovation.


# IP Schedule

Seraph presents a richly developed world within a medieval dark fantasy ARPG. This vast universe, supported by a comprehensive framework, is already engaging players with its immersive storytelling and gameplay. Beyond the ongoing development of our current products, we are implementing a long-term IP strategy to expand Seraph’s presence. This includes cross-game IP integration, platform ecosystem development, and more.

We have advantages in IP development as below:

**1. Low Educational Costs**

Medieval fantasy is a globally recognized and beloved genre, requiring minimal introduction or explanation. This widespread appeal is reinforced through popular film and television adaptations, making it accessible across cultures. The enduring success of novels and films like *The Lord of the Rings* and *A Song of Ice and Fire* demonstrates the genre’s ability to resonate universally.

**2. Versatile Applicability Across Game Types**

The medieval fantasy theme lends itself to a wide variety of game genres, including Action (ACT), Strategy (SLG), Role-Playing (RPG), and Card Games (CAG). Well-established concepts like rare equipment and advanced spells foster a shared understanding of value, making it easier to engage players.

The genre’s deep lore and value systems have been effectively incorporated across multiple game types. For example, action games like *Elden Ring* and *Dark Souls* highlight dynamic combat and immersive storytelling, while role-playing games such as *Baldur’s Gate* and *The Witcher* emphasize character development and rich narratives. Seraph’s medieval fantasy foundation allows it to seamlessly transition to other game genres, building on its current ARPG framework while retaining its core identity.

**3. Comprehensive Background Setting**

Seraph boasts a ten-chapter storyline featuring hundreds of characters categorized into humans, angels, and demons. While the current game showcases elements of this rich lore, it’s impossible to deliver the full narrative through a single product.

To extend Seraph’s universe and foster cross-promotion, we plan to develop derivative games, including RPG card games (*e.g., Fate/Grand Order*), battle card games (*e.g., Hearthstone*), and auto-battler games. These adaptations will not only broaden Seraph’s reach but also increase user interaction and engagement.

At the same time, we believe blockchain technology can revolutionize IP operations by introducing new possibilities through on-chain data composability and NFT asset interoperability. By leveraging these advancements, we have successfully transformed game content into valuable on-chain assets across five distinct categories, achieving notable results:

●  **Chaos Equipment (SRF)**: Weapons, armor, and accessories, generating user transaction volumes exceeding 8,500 ETH.

●  **Game Items (MIS)**: Tools for equipment enhancement and refinement, with user transactions surpassing 2,500 ETH.

●  **Value-Added Services (MOS)**: Features like game stalls and treasure chest keys, with user transaction volumes totaling over 1.55 million USDT.

●  **Treasure Chests (TCS)**: Blind-box-style items produced in-game, with transactions exceeding 790 ETH.

●  **Cosmetic Series (CSS)**: Character cosmetic items, generating over 65 ETH in user transaction volumes.

Looking ahead, we aim to establish each asset type as a highly recognized and integral part of Seraph’s ecosystem. For example, rare character cards in card games, advanced weapons in action games, and elite units or specialized equipment in strategy games will serve as key elements to enhance gameplay and further bridge the gap between games and blockchain technology.

<figure><img src="/files/zRIjpwHqzkWKXxLSTvAI" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Heroes & Characters


# Hero Selection

When players first enter the game, they must select a hero to begin their journey.

<figure><img src="/files/JAMAjn3UtCaCS7DOotFo" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The initial release of the game will feature four unique classes: Barbarian, Valkyrie, Sorceress, and Necromancer, each with distinct abilities and playstyles:

●  Barbarian: Possesses exceptional strength and mastery over a wide variety of weapons and combat techniques.

●  Sorceress: Wields the elements of frost, fire, and lightning to unleash devastating spells on enemies.

●  Valkyrie: Excels in ranged and melee combat, showcasing proficiency with bows and spears.

●  Necromancer: Specializes in poisons and summoning spells, conjuring allies to aid in battle.

●  Druid: Masters the raw power of nature, commanding elemental forces and shapeshifting into powerful animal forms.

Each hero class starts with different base stats, as shown below:

<table><thead><tr><th width="154">Hero</th><th width="91">Life</th><th width="92">Mana</th><th width="101">Defense</th><th width="113">Strength</th><th width="125">Dexterity</th><th>Stamina</th><th>Energy</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Valkyrie</td><td>50</td><td>30</td><td>6</td><td>20</td><td>25</td><td>20</td><td>15</td></tr><tr><td>Barbarian</td><td>55</td><td>25</td><td>5</td><td>30</td><td>20</td><td>25</td><td>10</td></tr><tr><td>Sorceress</td><td>40</td><td>50</td><td>6</td><td>10</td><td>25</td><td>10</td><td>35</td></tr><tr><td>Necromancer</td><td>44</td><td>40</td><td>0</td><td>15</td><td>25</td><td>15</td><td>25</td></tr><tr><td>Druid</td><td>54</td><td>35</td><td>0</td><td>15</td><td>20</td><td>25</td><td>20</td></tr></tbody></table>


# Character Stats

The character panel displays a hero’s attributes, such as Life, Mana, Defense, Strength, Dexterity, Stamina, and Energy. Using a level 1 Sorceress as an example, these basic stats define a character's abilities and progression.

<figure><img src="/files/lJalUjiPwTAmLYGthRHv" alt=""><figcaption><p>Character Panel of Sorceress</p></figcaption></figure>

Upon leveling up, characters gain increases in their Life and Mana stats at rates specific to their hero class. Additionally, players receive 5 stat points per level, which can be freely distributed among Strength, Dexterity, Stamina, and Energy, allowing for personalized development of their heroes.

**Strength**: Determines the types of weapons and armor the character can equip. It also increases the amount of physical damage the character can inflict.

**Dexterity**: Improves the character’s ability to dodge attacks and enhances accuracy for both melee and ranged attacks.

**Stamina**: Increases the character’s Life pool, enhancing overall survivability during battles.

**Energy**: Expands the character’s Mana pool, allowing for more frequent use of spells and special abilities.


# Equipment System


# Basic Info

## **Category of Equipment**

Seraph features two categories of equipment: normal and Chaos. Chaos equipment comes with exclusive attributes not found in normal equipment and can be freely traded on the blockchain as NFT Equipments.

<figure><img src="/files/p8DPpOV0zCBztOzWccTm" alt=""><figcaption><p><em>The visual difference between normal equipment and chaos equipment</em></p></figcaption></figure>

## **Quality of Equipment**

Equipment in Seraph comes in four qualities: **Ordinary**, **Magic**, **Rare**, and **Unique**.

**Ordinary**: Basic equipment with only its name and standard attack/defense stats, without any magic affixes.

**Magic**: Infused with magic power, it has one or more affixes that add special attributes to the equipment.

**Rare**: Includes additional magic affixes compared to Magic equipment, making it significantly more powerful.

**Unique**: One-of-a-kind items with distinctive names and exclusive attributes, offering unparalleled advantages in-game.

The diagram below illustrates the differences between these four qualities:

<figure><img src="/files/gTQNmRBuE84mmqreZ1Bn" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## **Level of Equipment**

Equipment in Seraph has two types of levels:

**Item Level**: Determines the inherent stats of the equipment.

**Wearing Level**: Specifies the character level required to equip the item.

<figure><img src="/files/q4lnBUw0ZT4YG3FtcY70" alt=""><figcaption><p><em>Item level and wearing level are displayed separately in the equipment detail panel</em></p></figcaption></figure>

## **Durability and Repair**

All equipment in Seraph has a Durability stat that decreases during combat. When Durability reaches zero, the equipment becomes unusable. Players can repair equipment by visiting the Blacksmith NPC.

<figure><img src="/files/30wiSXYhf0qrer9Wolzk" alt=""><figcaption><p><em>To repair an equipment, click the repair button and hover the mouse over the equipment. The cursor will change to a hammer shape, indicating repair readiness.</em></p></figcaption></figure>

## **Equipment Identify**

Most equipment drops in an unidentified state, meaning the specific affixes and stats are hidden. Unidentified equipment cannot be used until identified. To identify equipment, players must use an Identify Scroll.

<figure><img src="/files/L76zQA7zpq8nOTTHsGqj" alt=""><figcaption><p><em>Players need to right-click the identify scroll, then left-click the unidentified equipment when the mouse cursor change to the identification state</em></p></figcaption></figure>


# Types of Equipment

Equipment in Seraph includes weapons, armor, accessories, and amulets. Each type serves a unique purpose, can be equipped on specific body parts, and provides various effects to enhance gameplay.

## **Weapon**

Weapons in Seraph are diverse, catering to different playstyles and combat preferences. They are further subdivided into axes, maces, staves, blades, swords, daggers, hammers, spears, bows, crossbows, javelins, and more. Each weapon type has distinct properties and animations, enabling unique combat actions based on the character's equipped weapon.

<figure><img src="/files/q1qbJrK9OThIj5rzC2vi" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="/files/lWIT3iD5s3MyWeiMCY13" alt=""><figcaption><p><em>Different types of weapons in SERAPH</em></p></figcaption></figure>

Weapons are divided into two categories:

**One-Handed Weapons**: Occupy a single weapon slot, allowing the other slot to be used for a shield.

**Two-Handed Weapons**: Require both slots, offering greater power at the cost of defensive options.

<figure><img src="/files/3g6tZQBlUB1B9TvAguo3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## **Armor**

Armor is essential for defense and can be equipped on various body parts. It is categorized into helmets, body armor, gloves, shields, belts, and boots, each offering distinct attribute bonuses.

<figure><img src="/files/oT1Cg4Dz56ak4yWIr4BL" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Different types of armor amplify attributes slightly differently, allowing players to tailor their loadouts for specific playstyles. Unique armor pieces for different body parts are also available, adding customization and depth to the game.

<figure><img src="/files/Kr8m4XUDYIuPKUNkWlg6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## **Accessory**

Accessories such as necklaces and rings provide additional attribute bonuses, complementing the benefits of weapons and armor.

<figure><img src="/files/1OrZiWxLOKWki22cHtya" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Amulets

Amulets offer additional attributes to characters and do not require equipping in a traditional sense. Instead, they must be placed in the Amulet Bag to activate their effects.

Amulets come in three sizes based on the space they occupy in the bag:

●        Small: 1x1 size.

●        Large: 1x2 size.

●        Grand: 1x3 size.

While smaller amulets conserve bag space, some rare attributes are exclusive to larger amulets.

A special category of amulets, known as World Rings, can only be obtained by defeating bosses. These must be purified before they can be used.


# Socketable Item

Socketable items, such as gems, jewels, and runes, can be embedded into socketed equipment to enhance their abilities.

## **Gem**

Gems grant magical effects and attribute bonuses when equipped. Seraph currently features seven types of gems: Amethyst, Topaz, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, Diamond, and Skull.

Each gem comes in five quality levels: **Cracked**, **Flawed**, **Normal**, **Flawless**, and **Perfect**. Higher-quality gems provide stronger bonuses. Players can fuse lower-quality gems into higher-quality ones using the Gem Fusion function in the Box of Chaos.

## **Jewel**

Jewels provide extra magic attributes and come in three qualities: Magic, Rare, and Unique. Like gems, jewels are socketable and drop in an unidentified state. They must be identified using corresponding scrolls, similar to weapons.


# Skill System

Each hero class in Seraph features a unique set of skills, organized into three distinct skill trees. Players earn skill points as they level up, which can be used to unlock and upgrade skills, allowing for a highly personalized and flexible skill system.

All skills have a maximum level cap, though there are methods to exceed this limit. Players can assign unlocked skills to hotkeys via the skill panel for quick access during combat.

In all skill trees, progression is linear: players must acquire prerequisite skills before unlocking subsequent skills connected by one-way arrows.

<figure><img src="/files/kfJzE2MHNeurHEM96fno" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Skills of Sorceress

The Sorceress specializes in three types of spells: Frost, Lightning, and Fire.

<figure><img src="/files/sxcA6KLIaYIcYLB1jKvT" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Skills of Valkyrie

The Valkyrie’s skills are divided into three categories: Bows and Crossbows, Passive and Magic, and Javelin and Spear.

<figure><img src="/files/GT7B6lvorHimC7Hw8ipA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Skills of Barbarian

The Barbarian’s skills are categorized into three distinct paths: War Cry, Combat Mastery, and Berserker.

<figure><img src="/files/Hbd0JvWpRA4psq79FZQo" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Skills of Necromancer

The Necromancer commands dark powers across three skill paths: Profane Death Legion, Bone Shadow, and Crimson Curse.

<figure><img src="/files/qC8tJqncKxaX6KqJPVpg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Skills of Druid

The Druid specializes in three types of skills: Elemental Call, Bloodwolf, Titanbear.

<figure><img src="/files/jLirJYfY65LD75P9RdT0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Items


# Scroll

Seraph features two types of scrolls:

Return Scrolls: Open portals that allow players to teleport between maps and camps. Opening a new portal automatically closes any previously opened portal.

Identify Scrolls: Reveal the affix attributes of unidentified equipment drops, making the items usable.


# Affix Stone

Affix stones are special items used to craft and enhance equipment attributes in Seraph. These stones come in various types, such as the Vigor Stone and Rivalry Stone, each serving a unique purpose in customization.


# Potion

Potions are essential consumables in Seraph, offering various effects to aid players during their adventures. Healing potions restore Life stats, while mana potions replenish Mana stats, and other potions provide various effects.

<figure><img src="/files/msr9ZEHjuTW3jUhL8Jky" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# The Gameplay of Dungeons

Seraph features three distinct dungeon types, each offering unique challenges and rewards. All dungeon gameplay integrates elements related to on-chain assets, which will be detailed in the [tokenomics](/tokenomics/core-circulation) section.


# Mystery of Chaos

The Mystery of Chaos is a dungeon designed exclusively for Equipment of Seraph NFT holders. Players can take on challenges within this dungeon to acquire new Equipment of Seraph NFTs. It is the only dungeon in Seraph where Equipment of Seraph NFTs can be produced. For more specific details, refer to the Mystery of Chaos section.


# Void Realms

The Void Realm becomes accessible after players defeat Seraph and repair the World Ring. It is divided into multiple difficulty tiers (T1–T18 maps) as well as special boss maps. Players can obtain T1 tickets from level 55+ outdoor maps, while higher-tier tickets drop within the Void Realm themselves.

<figure><img src="/files/ywSogWCTfoidDpyykH8S" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Each entry into the Void Realm requires stamina and a ticket corresponding to the desired tier. The ticket determines the map tier and quality:

●        Map Tier: Determines the level of monsters in the dungeon.

●        Map Quality: Influences the number of monsters and map affixes, such as increased monster attributes, drop rates, or quantity.

The Void Realm is the primary source of Soul Spars and also provides item materials and high-level equipment. Additionally, this dungeon supports team play, allowing multiple players to cooperate and tackle challenges together.


# Trial of Seraph

Unlocked after completing the main storyline, the Trial of Seraph offers rewards such as gems and amulets. It serves as the main source for these items.

<figure><img src="/files/Uhx6F5peh470iLHZEgQ0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The gameplay in the Trial of Seraph resembles that of the Mystery of Chaos but with a key difference:

* Non-boss monsters do not drop items, only experience rewards.
* Players must complete timed kill quests to unlock subsequent layers. If the kill is completed beyond the time limit, boss rewards can still be obtained, but players will lose the eligibility to unlock the next layer.

The Trial of Seraph supports multiplayer challenges, with difficulty scaling based on the number of players in the room.

At the end of each challenge, player performance is ranked based on the number of levels cleared and clearance time. Ranking rewards are distributed accordingly, encouraging competitive gameplay and teamwork.


# Game Guide System

This Gameplay section offers a brief introduction to key aspects of the game. For more in-depth insights, players can visit[ ](https://www.seraph.game/)<https://www.seraph.game/> to download the game and access the "Game Guide" menu. The guide provides a comprehensive overview through a detailed game manual.

In addition to basic game information and an introduction to the world of Seraph, the Game Guide includes fundamental gameplay mechanics and tools for checking equipment, affixes, and jewels. These resources are designed to help players immerse themselves fully in the game and enhance their overall experience.


# Core Circulation

<figure><img src="/files/Uwf5j7AI9ssdSj3fX1ep" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Players can play Seraph for free and have the opportunity to earn rare in-game assets through gameplay. By equipping Equipment of Seraph NFTs and other items, players can also generate Soul Spars while playing. Soul Spars serve as a crucial in-game currency with a wide range of applications, including crafting equipment and developing unique playstyles, fostering creativity and engagement.

The game's economic design revolves around resource generation, progression mechanics, and marketplace dynamics, creating a robust, player-driven ecosystem. Below is a breakdown of the scenarios that illustrate how different player types can interact with Seraph's economy:

1. Void Realm Farming (Progression & Loot)&#x20;

Non-NFT players have the opportunity to loot rare equipment and materials, which can be sold in the in-game marketplace for Soul Spars. These Soul Spars can then be bundled into Soul Boxes as NFTs, which can be used to enhance their gameplay.

NFT players, by expending Chaos Energy, gain increased farming efficiency, allowing them to generate Soul Spars more effectively while earning higher-quality loot and rare item drops.

2. Mystery of Chaos (Lucrative Rewards)&#x20;

NFT players can spend Soul Spars to explore the Mystery of Chaos dungeon, where they have a chance to earn randomized rewards from Treasure Chests. The tier of the chest determines the quality of the rewards.

3. Soul Spar Consumption

Beyond entering the Mystery of Chaos, players can utilize Soul Spars to enhance their equipment and improve their gameplay potential.

4. Equipment Crafting & Marketplace

Players can combine materials and Soul Spars to craft powerful equipment, enabling further progression in the game. Additionally, NFT equipment can be listed and traded on the on-chain marketplace, fostering a dynamic and player-driven economy.

5. Trial of Seraph (Competitive Play)&#x20;

Players can participate in the Trial of Seraph competitions, where rankings are determined by a combination of equipment power and player skill. Top-ranking players are rewarded with exclusive prizes, encouraging competitive gameplay and driving engagement across the player base.\
\
*\*Seraph is constantly being updated; the actual latest experience in the game shall prevail.*


# Player Roles & Behaviours

Seraph offers diverse gameplay styles, enabling players to choose roles that align with their preferences—or explore them all! From crafting and trading to dungeon exploration, the game fosters creativity and variety.

## Pure Player

Players can experience Seraph as a completely free-to-play game. They can delve into the story and explore the Void Realm, enjoying rich content and earning rewards without any barriers.

## Soul Spar Hunter&#x20;

By wearing Equipment of Seraph NFT, players can earn Soul Spars in the Void Realm. These can be sold in the market for profit or accumulated to participate in the Mystery of Chaos dungeon for greater rewards.

For detailed information on Soul Spar drops, please refer to the [Soul Spars](/tokenomics/soul-spars) section.&#x20;

## Chest Hunter in Mystery of Chaos

To acquire new Equipment of Seraph NFT or special cosmetics, players must venture into the Mystery of Chaos dungeon. Within these dungeons, players can choose to open the dropped chests to claim their rewards or sell the chests in the market for profit.

For detailed information on the Mystery of Chaos dungeon rules, please refer to the [Mystery of Chaos](/tokenomics/mystery-of-chaos)  section.

## Merchant

Seraph’s NFT market offers a variety of assets, including equipment, costumes, treasure chests, and more. Merchants can analyze price trends and dynamics, using their expertise to trade effectively in the market.

## NFT Expert

Collectors can purchase chests produced by other players in the Mystery of Chaos and open them to acquire rare NFT equipment, costumes, and other valuable items. These NFTs can then be collected or traded based on player preferences.

## Leaderboard Climber&#x20;

The ultimate glory in Seraph is tied to the Trial of Seraph, where players can challenge higher difficulties and aim for faster completion times to climb the rankings.

Better rankings require not only skill but also high-quality NFT equipment. With features like 1v1 sparring matches already tested, Seraph will continue to expand its ranking and honor systems in future updates.


# Equipment of Seraph NFT

Equipment of Seraph NFTs (or simply NFT equipment) enhance gameplay by providing unique attributes and abilities within the Seraph universe. While these NFTs can be traded, their primary purpose is to enrich the gaming experience. Players can equip these items to enhance their performance, especially in high-difficulty dungeons. Enhancements to NFTs offer players additional customization, greater adaptability, and improved gameplay depth.

Each piece of NFT equipment possesses attributes such as Treasure Value, Chaos Energy, and Chaos Affixes. To activate these attributes, NFT equipment must be socketed into in-game equipment. Players can unsocket NFTs at any time, restoring them to their tradable form.

<figure><img src="/files/2gOPKRU5HSGWPdZhF4qq" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Treasure Value is one of the core attributes of NFT equipment, categorized under Chaos Stats. A higher Treasure Value provides the following benefits:

* &#x20;Increased likelihood of obtaining rarer items.
* Abilities to challenge higher-difficulty dungeons.
* Enhanced production of Soul Spars through gameplay.

## Levels

NFT equipment in Seraph is categorized into level tiers: 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70. Equipment attributes, including Treasure Value, vary between levels, with the expected difference between adjacent levels reaching approximately threefold.

On average, NFT equipment possess combat attributes that are about 20 levels ahead of ordinary equipment of the same level.

## Chaos Energy

Chaos Energy is consumed when NFT equipment is used in the Mystery of Chaos dungeon. The remaining percentage of Chaos Energy directly impacts the participation cost of this dungeon. Specific methods for replenishing Chaos Energy will be shared in future updates.

## Generation

The generation attribute identifies the production period or method of each piece of NFT equipment. Genesis equipment is marked as "x" in its generation attribute. There are 10,000 Genesis NFT equipment, of which:

* 3,000 were allocated for early public sales.
* 7,000 are reserved for special uses as the game develops.


# Demand of Equipment of Seraph NFTs

Equipment of Seraph NFTs, also referred to as Chaos Equipment, is the primary NFT series in the game. These items enhance player abilities and offer better adaptability in high-difficulty dungeons.

**Use Cases:**

1. **Higher Combat Attributes**: NFT equipment provides superior stats compared to ordinary equipment, making it desirable for all players.
2. **Soul Spar Drops**: Players equipped with NFTs can obtain Soul Spars by exploring the Void Realm.
3. **Access to Mystery of Chaos**: Players require NFT equipment to enter high-level Mystery of Chaos dungeons, which reward treasure chests containing new NFTs and other rare items.
4. **Special Dungeon Adaptability**: NFT equipment performs better in challenging dungeons such as the Trial of Seraph.


# Supply of Equipment of Seraph NFTs

**1. Genesis NFTs**

Before the official launch, 10,000 Genesis NFTs are reserved for purposes such as game testing, development, and special events. These NFTs include the minter's role ID, making them identifiable.

**2. Drops from Gameplay**

Players can obtain unidentified NFTs by opening treasure chests earned through gameplay or by crafting them using NFT shards. These unidentified NFTs can be traded, but their attributes remain hidden until identified with scrolls or tokens. Once identified, the NFTs can be used in-game.


# Enhancement of NFT Equipment

The enhancement system for Equipment of Seraph NFTs focuses on improving the equipment's base material and affixes. Players can refine and synthesize their original equipment to create exclusive, customized items tailored to their playstyle.

Multiple enhancement methods are available for each piece of NFT equipment. These methods require specific special materials and a certain amount of Soul Spars.

Each enhancement consumes one piece of the designated special material, while the amount of Soul Spars required is determined by the enhancement's significance and increases with the level of the NFT equipment.

Chaos Ashes are obtained by dismantling NFT equipment. These ashes retain the Treasure Value of the dismantled item, with identified equipment suffering less loss compared to unidentified ones. Players can use Chaos Ashes to increase the Treasure Value of other equipment, provided it does not exceed the maximum limit for the item's level.

The Treasure Value enhancement system is exclusive to NFT equipment and offers a transparent process, with all relevant details and probabilities displayed within the game interface.


# Other NFT Series


# Treasure Chests

Treasure chests play a significant role in Seraph, as most scarce assets are distributed as rewards in the form of these chests. Each chest is designed to offer players a unique and exciting unboxing experience.

The Chaos Chests, dropped in the Mystery of Chaos dungeon, are currently the primary type of treasure chest in the game. Future treasure chest features will be added based on community feedback and ongoing development.

## Drop Rules

Chaos Chests in the Mystery of Chaos dungeon are categorized by the level of the dungeon players challenge:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="240"></th><th width="98"></th><th width="100"></th><th width="95"></th><th width="101"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Mystery of Chaos Levels</td><td>Level 1</td><td>Level 2</td><td>Level 3</td><td>Level 4</td><td>Level 5</td></tr><tr><td>Chest Drops Level</td><td>Lv.30</td><td>Lv.40</td><td>Lv.50</td><td>Lv.60</td><td>Lv.70</td></tr></tbody></table>

Each dungeon level exclusively drops the secret treasure chest corresponding to that level. Players who can tackle higher-level dungeons will earn higher-level chest drops, unlocking rarer and more valuable rewards.

In addition to chest levels, quality distinctions exist within the same dungeon tier. The greater the difficulty a player can overcome, the higher the quality of the treasure chest dropped, offering even better rewards.

## Assets in Treasure Chests

Treasure chests from the Mystery of Chaos dungeon can contain: NFT equipment, NFT equipment shards, Chaos Energy, NFT identify scrolls, and Cosmetic Series NFT.

The specific probability of items within treasure chests will be continuously adjusted during the Chaos Legacy Test to ensure an optimal balance between the economic model and loot experience. As a result, exact details will not be disclosed for the time being.

However, the following logical rules outline the mechanics, with numerical details subject to adjustments based on these principles:

#### Level Distinctions

Higher-level treasure chests yield higher-level items. All chest contents, including NFT equipment, NFT equipment fragments, chaos appraisal scrolls, and Chaos Reverberations, are categorized by levels: 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70.

#### Quality of Chests

Treasure chest quality increases in the following order: Arcane Mithril Chest, Golden Holy Chest, Celestial Ultimate Chest, and Void Chaotic Chest.

<figure><img src="/files/W9DzTGDOctAj04q9JV4V" alt=""><figcaption><p>Four qualities of Treasure Chest</p></figcaption></figure>

Higher-quality chests offer a greater probability of yielding higher-level items. Celestial Ultimate Chests and Void Chaotic Chests have an additional chance to drop cosmetic items; Cosmetic items are further categorized into Cosmetic Appearance Chests and Cosmetic Series NFTs, with their combined probability being similar to that of NFT equipment.


# Cosmetic Series

The Cosmetic Series is a distinct category of NFTs within Seraph, offering players extensive customization options, which includes weapon skins, wing back accessories, weapon effects, character effects, footprint effects, portal effects, avatar frames, and other types.

Players can display Cosmetic Series NFTs in specific slots, such as applying a helmet skin to modify the appearance of their equipped helmet without unequipping it.

The appearance customization feature is located in the character panel, where players can assign cosmetics to designated positions to achieve their desired visual effects, enriching their gameplay experience.

# Magic Items

In addition to equipment, treasure chests, and cosmetic appearances, Seraph features Magic Items, a category of NFTs tailored for blockchain trading. These items offer unique functionalities and belong to the same NFT series.

**Key Magic Items Include:**

* Equipment NFT Shards: Used for synthesizing NFT equipment. Different levels and quantities of shards are needed to craft equipment of varying levels.
* NFT Identify Scrolls: Enable players to identify unidentified NFT equipment, revealing its attributes and making it usable in the game.
* Chaos Energy: Replenishes energy for NFT equipment, which is consumed during participation in the Void Realm.
* Chaos Residual: Obtained by dismantling NFT equipment, Chaos Residuals capture the Treasure Value of the dismantled item and can be applied to new NFT equipment.


# Soul Spars

## Demand of Soul Spars

Soul Spars are essential in-game assets earned through gameplay in Seraph. They are used to unlock additional content, purchase various items, and serve as consumables for upgrading NFT equipment. The primary source of Soul Spars is the Void Realm, where their output depends on the player’s level, gameplay difficulty, and the Treasure Value of the NFT equipment they wear.

The higher the Treasure Value and greater the number of NFT equipment equipped, the more challenging the gameplay, resulting in increased Soul Spar production. Additionally, players can consume Soul Spars to access the Mystery of Chaos dungeon, where they have the chance to acquire new Equipment of Seraph NFTs.

Soul Spars have diverse applications within the Seraph ecosystem, including:

1. Participating in the Mystery of Chaos dungeon, providing an opportunity to obtain rare NFT equipment.
2. Enhancing Chaos Equipment through affix gameplay, improving combat abilities and playing levels.
3. Buying and selling goods in the in-game marketplace.

Additionally, players can use Soul Spars to enhance their player experience by unlocking additional content, facilitating item upgrades or bundling into Soul Boxes NFTs to extend their utility beyond in-game activities.

## Acquisition of Soul Spars

Soul Spars are a core universal item in Seraph, obtained as drops by consuming Chaos Energy and defeating monsters in the Void Realm.

The Void Realm implements a reward phase system with a daily participation limit. Based on the number of remaining participations, the rewards from completing the Void Realm runs are divided into three phases:

<table><thead><tr><th width="119"></th><th width="142">Remaining Daily Participations</th><th>Soul Spar Earnings</th><th width="123">Item Drops</th><th>Experience Gained</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Phase I</td><td>(40,60]</td><td>100%</td><td>100%</td><td>100%</td></tr><tr><td>Phase II</td><td>(20,40]</td><td>0%</td><td>100%</td><td>100%</td></tr><tr><td>Phase III</td><td>(0,20]</td><td>0%</td><td>50%</td><td>50%</td></tr></tbody></table>

*The actual segmentation and limits for participation will be finalized during the game’s implementation.*

&#x20;

The total daily output of Soul Spars from the Void Realm is capped and flexibly adjusted based on the total number of players, NFT equipment conditions, and other factors.

Participating in the Void Realm requires the consumption of a map item. A player's actual output will depend not only on the level of the player and the difficulty of game playing but also on the map used. A player's combat attributes and gameplay will determine the efficiency of monster farming, while the quality and affixes of the map will determine the type, quantity, and combat attributes of the monsters within that map.

Among the factors that determine the total number of Soul Spars dropped, the most important thing is the Treasure Value of the NFT equipment worn by the player, which determines the level and difficulty of the gameplay, which will determine the amount of Soul Spars that can be dropped.

Details will be revealed soon.


# Mystery of Chaos

<figure><img src="/files/Nuv9X0kWY8GZYpxexeGS" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The Mystery of Chaos is a high-reward dungeon tailored for hardcore players. To access it, players must accumulate energy bars by defeating various monsters in consecutive scenes. Once the energy bar is fully charged, they can challenge the dungeon boss and earn rewards.

Upon successfully completing the challenge, players receive multiple treasure chest drops, with a chance to acquire new Equipment of Seraph NFTs.

## How To Challenge

Players can only enter the Mystery of Chaos dungeon while wearing NFT equipment. Based on the total Treasure Value of the NFT equipment worn, the game recommends an appropriate level of the Mystery of Chaos dungeon for the player.

Once inside the dungeon, players cannot change their equipment until they successfully defeat the boss and rewards are tallied. Each level of the dungeon offers varying difficulties, and higher difficulty levels increase the likelihood of obtaining rarer treasure chest drops.

## Treasure Chests

Players can obtain treasure chests in the Mystery of Chaos dungeon, containing various on-chain assets, such as NFT equipment, NFT shards, fashion chests, NFT scrolls, and more.

The type and quality of treasure chests depend on the level and difficulty of the dungeon. For detailed information about the treasure chests, refer to the Treasure Chests section in the game guide.
