Totems are a captivating collection of map assets, embodied by
unique life forms. As players, you'll embark on a journey
to nurture and maintain your totems' health, requiring
Protem spending. Skillful nurturing will yield additional
Protem as rewarding outcomes.
In the expansive Upland metaverse, Stem will hold the vital
role of sustaining all living things, such as trees, animals,
and plants. Life's design will closely mirror the real
world, where living assets will require nourishment in the
form of Stem.
To facilitate the transition, Protem,
a substitute currency, will be utilized until the full release
of Stem and Life. Protem will be redeemable 1:1 with Stem upon
its eventual launch. All totem holders will receive an initial
supply of Protem, and when totems are activated, players will
receive a fixed amount of Protem for each totem they hold.
A totem cycle in Totem spans a 30-day period, during which
totems come to life. Throughout the cycle, players can spend
Protem to keep their totems "alive" and, in turn,
collect Protem yield rewards. The amount of Protem a totem
yields during the cycle depends on players' behaviors,
including spend frequency, spend amount, and collection
frequency. Achieving the best Protem yield performance
involves testing and exploring optimal spending strategies, as
each totem is truly one-of-a-kind!
After the cycle
concludes, totems hibernate, and players can no longer spend
Protem for yield rewards until the next cycle begins. The
frequency of totem cycles will be determined based on early
cycle results. Embrace the enchanting journey, nurture your
unique totems, and unlock the art of strategic spending to
maximize Protem rewards!
Totem traits are the heart and soul of these captivating
creatures. Each totem possesses 5 visual traits, and each
trait represents an attribute that determines the nature of
the Totem. These traits — Life Form, Style, Color, Scale, and
Totem Base - influence your Totem's appearance, behavior,
Protem rewards, and more. These visual traits represent five
specific attributes of your totem – Output, Input, Frequency,
Capacity, and Stamina.
Totem's Life Form presents an enchanting array of animal
and plant types, comprising 11 captivating variations. Each
Life Form is intricately connected to a distinct
"Output" curve, showcasing the totem's yielding
pattern and overall yield returns.
Players can access different rarities of Totems based on the
Pass that they purchase in the Upland Store during specific
sale periods.
Nurture your Totem to power its lifecycle! Spend Protem to
nurture your Totem and keep it "alive" during the
30-day cycle. As you nurture your totem, it generates Protem
rewards. Collect them periodically to grow your resources and
further nurture your totem's potential. The right
spending strategy is essential – too much or too little can
affect your rewards. Remember, spending frequency and amount
matter.
Aim to spend Protem within each interval of the cycle. Timing
matters! Make your Protem spend close to the center of the
interval for the best results. This ensures maximum yield
returns and enhances your totem's potential. Missing
intervals might lead to penalties, and multiple spending
within the same interval won't yield additional rewards.
Find your totem's sweet spot and make the most of it.
