Understanding the Premier Bounty Board

Expanded Rewards and New Prize Pools

The Premier Bounty Board offers a fresh prize pool of 12.5K AXS weekly, including an exclusive 1K AXS Master Pool for rare Mystic bounties. This brings the total weekly reward pool to 25K AXS across both the Standard and Premier Bounty Boards.

• A new prize pool of 12,500 AXS per week
• This includes a 1K AXS master pool dedicated to the completion of rare Mystic bounties

• Weekly Rewards = (Player’s PBB Points/Total PBB Points) * Premier Pool Reward

Each Monday at 03:00 UTC, the system will take a snapshot of points accumulated by players over the previous week, with rewards distributed approximately 48 hours later. Please note that the rewards shown in the “Claimable reward” section include rewards from both the Standard and Premier Bounty Board.

Newly Enhanced Rewards

One of the key updates is the enhancement of the rewards system. A common piece of feedback from players was the lack of motivation to climb the leaderboard after the first week of quest bounties. In response, Axie Infinity has significantly increased the rewards for the top 250 players on the leaderboard, who will now share a weekly 1,000 AXS prize pool.

This change is expected to intensify competition and provide greater incentives for players to continue participating in quests. Additionally, the Master Quest reward pool has been bolstered with an additional 1,000 AXS, bringing the total prize pool to 2,000 AXS. This increase is designed to motivate the most dedicated players to aim for higher-tier quests and further rewards.

Re-roll Mechanic Upgrade

The re-roll mechanic has also been updated to provide players with more flexibility. Previously, players were limited in how many times they could re-roll a quest. With the new update, the re-roll limit has been increased to 10 per quest. However, starting from the fifth re-roll, the cost will increase, requiring more Fortune Slips.

The extra re-rolls also come with a better chance of receiving higher-tier quests, such as the coveted Master Quests. These changes are intended to balance the re-roll system by offering players more opportunities while also increasing the stakes with higher costs.

Quest Balancing

In addition to the changes in rewards and re-roll mechanics, Axie Infinity has made several balancing adjustments across various quests. The primary goal of these adjustments is to close the gap between the cost of completing quests and the value of the rewards.

This update ensures that the difficulty and cost of quests are more closely aligned with the points they offer. For example, many quests across different categories, including App.axie Quests, Axie Classic Quests, Origins Quests, and Homeland Quests, have seen increases in the points they reward.

Specific quests, such as "Evolve a [random class] Axie (Advanced)," have seen points nearly double, reflecting the effort required to complete them. These balancing changes are aimed at providing a more rewarding experience for players, ensuring that the time and resources invested in completing quests are appropriately compensated.
