Epoch 1: Lands & Heroes
Overview
In the First Epoch, players can purchase Platinum Coins and use them to mint NFT Lands and Heroes. We recommend starting with one Land and three to four Heroes for a balanced entry into the game.
Lands serve as the foundation of your domain. They store gathered resources, generate Gold, and evolve over time through Element upgrades. Gold becomes increasingly valuable as you progress, and its production depends on your land's Element levels.
To collect Gold, send a Hero on a Gold Harvesting mission. You can boost Gold production by upgrading the four Elements on each land—this requires both Gold and Elementals.
Elementals are rare resources obtained via specific missions. They’re stored in vessels, but they gradually leak over time. To slow this loss, you must equip vessels with Elemental Seals, which can only be earned through exploration and mission success.

Platinum Coins
Platinum Coins are the core currency of the War of Continents universe. They are required to:
- Mint new Lands and Heroes
- Unlock essential missions
- Perform in-game transactions
Platinum Coins are fully tradable and can be withdrawn to the blockchain. As such, they form the foundation of both the in-game economy and the broader player marketplace.
Lands
Each Land is minted using Platinum and comes with unique attributes: coordinates, land type, and the number of available building slots. Lands are:
- Playable in-game assets
- Collectibles for your portfolio
- Tradable NFTs on platforms like OpenSea
Every land holds strategic value and contributes to Gold production and Elemental upgrading.
Heroes
Heroes are minted with Platinum and also take the form of NFTs. Each Hero has randomized attributes:
- Rarity
- Gender
- Element
- Base characteristics
Heroes are indispensable: all gameplay actions require their participation.
Only a limited number of Generation 0 Heroes can be minted in the First Epoch. These early heroes grant exclusive advantages, making them highly valuable for long-term gameplay.
Missions
- Hero Transfer
- Elementals Search
- Claim Gold
- Upgrade Seal of Element
- Upgrade Elements
- Seal Hunt
- Daily Mission
- Hero Level Upgrade
- Upgrade Hero Skills
Hero Transfer
Transfer a Hero from one Land to another. Newly minted Heroes begin between lands and must complete this mission to become active on a specific Land.
Elementals Search
A critical mission. Elementals are essential for upgrading Elements, and as your Element levels grow, so does your need for more Elementals. Send Heroes to search for them and replenish your reserves.
Claim Gold
Land generates Gold over time. Use this mission to collect and move the produced Gold into your treasury.
Upgrade Seal of Element
Elementals naturally leak from their vessels. You can reduce this leakage by upgrading your Elemental Seals. Combine this with frequent search missions to maintain a steady supply.
Tip: Perform both actions regularly for best results.
Upgrade Elements
Higher Element levels on a Land mean increased Gold production. Complete this mission to boost your income and accelerate progression.
Seal Hunt
This is a basic mission to acquire Elemental Seals. These are crucial for managing Elementals and enabling efficient upgrades.
Daily Mission
Send any Hero on this simple daily quest for a chance at useful rewards. Easy to complete and potentially valuable.
Hero Level Upgrade
Spend experience points to increase your Hero’s level. This unlocks new potential and makes them more powerful for future missions.
Upgrade Hero Skills
Use skill points to enhance specific Hero abilities. Strategic distribution of points can significantly improve mission outcomes.
With Lands, Heroes, Elementals, and Gold, your path to greatness begins in the First Epoch. Choose wisely, upgrade boldly, and may your empire flourish!
