Gameplay FAQ

Which blockchain is this game on?

Crystalfall is on BEAM, subnet on AVAX.

How can blockchain be used to enhance the game?

You need other players to be online to give value to your items which is equal to your wealth progression. This is the foundation of any game economy among players and needs to be secured to avoid hacks and duping that can impact wealth progression and economy in a negative way. Blockchain as a technology helps players to trade freely among each other without prior history of doing so without having to worry about being scammed. It also helps with traceability as items shift hands among players in an economy created by players for players.

Trading items is optional and is not a requirement to have fun and play the game.

Can this be solved in other ways with other technologies?

If the focus is to create an open economy driven by players for players avoiding traditional closed ecosystems then this technology provides the best solution.

But the technology has friction and complexity to it?

CRG has worked together with our technology partners to deliver a seamless way for players to enjoy the sealing of items and trading among themselves. More about this will be revealed closer to global launch.

Why can I not pick up flasks?

If you encounter red, blue or purple shining flasks that you can’t seem to pick up, the reason is most likely your flasks are already full. These are flask refills, and they go immediately into your flasks in the action bar automatically when running close to them if there is anything to fill up. To use your flasks, press hotkeys 1-5.

Why can I not insert Skill Crests into the Skill Tree?

• (1) Make sure the Skill Crest socket is unlocked, if the tooltip states “Active” and “Unallocated” you are good to go.

• (2) Make sure the Skill Crest you want to insert is compatible with the socket by comparing their tags, in this case here Physical works.

• (3) As soon as you pick up a Skill Crest on the cursor that is compatible with a socket, the socket will light up in blue.

How do seasonal resets work?

The game will run in seasons, where the apocalyptic event Nexus will strike and destroy the world of Crystalfall, forcing its citizens to start over. Each season thus ends with an economic reset that wipes out everything except sealed items on the blockchain. These sealed items can be brought back into another season but have to go through something called resurgence in the game. Meaning that players will not be able to start with these items at level 1. More about resurgence will be revealed closer to global launch.
