NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are a blockchain technology that is used to craft valuable assets within CryptoCrusades. In addition to having inherent value as investments, they also serve an important role in the game, allowing Leaders to create their own decorative items and more. These NFTs can be purchased in-game or traded for with Gold.
NFTS in CryptoCrusades[]
Currently, there are three types of NFTs available in CryptoCrusades:
Trinkets[]

Trinkets are small NFTs that act as building blocks for crafting other NFTs. Representing a wide range of uses from Blueprints to Paints, they can be purchased from the Shop via Chests. In the future, Leaders will also be able to obtain Trinkets through in-game means.
Cosmetics[]

Cosmetics are NFTs that are crafted using Trinkets, Gold, and Inspiration. While Cosmetics don’t affect gameplay, they can be used to customize your Empire. The current available Cosmetics include Borders, Crests, Clothing, and Architecture.
Genesis Cities[]

Genesis Cities are unique Capital Cities that Leaders can bid for in auctions held on OpenSea. Each represents a historical city from the Middle Ages and has exclusive Genesis Clothing and Architecture Cosmetics. Acquiring a Genesis City will not only guarantee a valuable spot in the game upon launch, but is also an investment that helps support the CryptoCrusades dev team.
Crafting NFTs[]
Obtaining Trinkets[]
In the Workshop, two types of Cosmetics (Clothing and Architecture) are shown at different stages of progress
Trinkets can be obtained through spending Gold on Chests at the in-game Shop, as well as through trading at the NFT Market. Gold can be earned in a variety of ways: through Tariffs, Thieving, or purchasing from the Shop with real-world currency. Different Chest tiers contain Trinkets of different qualities, with the higher tier Chests granting higher chances to get rarer Trinkets.
Workshop[]
Cosmetics can be crafted in the Workshop as soon as it's built. Any Trinkets a Leader owns will be stored here and can be viewed from the Trinkets menu. To craft, you can either select a Cosmetic type from the main Workshop menu or from the Cosmetics menu.
Crafting a Cosmetic requires different combinations of Trinkets, usually at least one Paint Trinket and Trinkets of other types, as well as Inspiration and Gold. Once a Leader has the necessary materials, crafting usually takes about 5 seconds on average. Any crafted Cosmetics can be equipped fromm the Cosmetics menu.
Trading NFTs[]
NFT trading makes up an important part of CryptoCrusades’ in-game economy. At the NFT Market, Leaders can create Offers for any Trinket or Cosmetic that they wish to sell, or buy NFTs that others have made Offers for. Both must be bought or sold for Gold, and trades are instantaneous.
