DeFi Dungeons has just recently been added to the Web3 genre list, marking a significant milestone for the game. With its successful Token Generation Event (TGE) and NFT mint, the game has captured the attention of both blockchain enthusiasts and gamers alike. As it continues to grow, navigating through its mechanics and features can be overwhelming for newcomers. But don't worry, GAM3S.gg is here to guide you every step of the way. Before we start let's talk about first what actually is Defi Dungeons.

DeFi Dungeons is a fantasy idle-MMORPG built on the Solana blockchain, offering an exciting blend of traditional RPG elements with on-chain decentralized finance (DeFi) systems. Set in the Warcraft-inspired town of Nightvale, players take on the roles of various Heroes who embark on quests, conquer dungeons, and raid bosses to earn valuable rewards and enhance their power. Now, let's tackle how can you get started in the game!

How to Get Started in Defi Dungeons

DeFi Dungeons is an on-chain game that runs entirely in your browser, so no fancy hardware is required. As long as you have a browser on your PC, you’re good to go. However, here’s the catch: to dive into the action, you’ll need at least one Hero NFT. These NFTs are the key to playing the game, and right now, you can grab one on Magic Eden for around 4 SOL.

Once you have your Hero NFT, launching the game is simple. Just head to the game’s website in your browser, and you’ll have the option to sign in using either your Google account or wallet. But, here's a quick tip: don’t be tempted by the Google login on desktop. To fully unlock all the features of DeFi Dungeons, make sure to connect using your wallet first. The Google login option is more for mobile players. After you’ve connected your wallet on desktop, head to your profile settings and link your Google account. This way, you’ll be able to switch seamlessly to mobile whenever you’re ready to take the game on the go.

Once you’ve logged in, it’s time to get your character up to speed. Import your hero directly from your wallet and manage all their stats. This is your starting point, where the journey begins.

Training

In DeFi Dungeons, training is a key feature to power up your character’s abilities. Think of it as an investment for better rewards down the line. You’ll need to level up your combat power to unlock greater chances in dungeons and quests. Right now, the training ground is mostly about stats. You can boost four main attributes:

• Power: Increases the chance to defeat bosses and discover dungeon keys.
• Vitality: Reduces the likelihood of negative events (including, yes, death).
• Fortune: Increases your chances of finding merchant items.
• Luck: Boosts your odds of acquiring more valuable equipment from bosses.

The gold token is your go-to currency for leveling up these stats. If you max out these stats, you’ll reach a combat power of 50, but you’ll need equipment to boost beyond that. Don’t forget, using your friends referral codes will get you a sweet 5% discount on stat upgrades.

Questing

Questing is where your heroes will spend a lot of their time. This mechanic is a bit of a gamble but very rewarding when luck is on your side. You’ll send your heroes out on quests, and after couple of hours or less, you’ll have a chance to score rewards like dungeon keys and loot. Don’t expect rewards every time. DeFi Dungeons has a fantastic anti-inflation mechanic in place, so rewards aren’t guaranteed all the time.

You don’t have to wait a full hour to collect rewards. If you're lucky, you might score loot after just 15 minutes. You can reset your quest and send your heroes out again, but note that you’ll need dungeon keys to dive into the deeper dungeons.

The Bank and Economy

The Banking system is a crucial component for managing your in-game assets. If you want to upgrade your stats using gold tokens, you’ll deposit them here. Right now, withdrawals aren’t available until April 7th, 2025, but once they become accessible, you will have the option to withdraw your Gold Tokens and sell them. Please note that there is a 5% fee associated with withdrawals, which is the cost for the convenience of accessing and transferring your tokens.

The marketplace provides an opportunity to earn 10% from each item sold. Additionally, if you own a Banker NFT, you’ll passively earn gold tokens from every loot sale. The game’s pricing system operates on a demand-and-supply model, meaning that item prices are adjusted daily based on the volume of loot sold.

Dungeons

Once you’ve got your dungeon key, it’s time to dive into the heart of DeFi Dungeons—actual dungeon raids. These are not simple, straightforward challenges; the higher the dungeon level, the greater the risks involved. The higher you go, the more risk you take. Some dungeons may even cost you your precious equipment if you’re not careful. Each dungeon will have a recommended combat level and various rewards based on your character’s stats and abilities.

The real challenge comes with higher-level dungeons, where the risk of death becomes a genuine concern. However, the rewards are definitely worth the risk. Rare items, loot, and gold tokens that can be sold for profit await those bold enough to face the dangers.

Loot and Rewards

Loot is a primary objective for players seeking to advance in DeFi Dungeons. Higher-level quests and dungeons offer the potential for acquiring rare and valuable loot that can be sold for Gold Tokens. Items are color-coded based on their rarity, with gold indicating higher value, though it is more difficult to obtain. As you level up, your chances of securing valuable gear improve.

It is important to note that loot is not guaranteed. The higher your stats, the better your chances of obtaining rarer and more valuable items. Success in acquiring loot depends on a combination of luck, stats, and strategic decision-making.
