LootBoxes: Let the Loot Flow
Discovery, Craftsmanship and Interoperability
The Game in GameFi
We’ve been focused on getting the economic aspects of Realm off on the right foot for the past year and seen a lot of growth and buy in from the community. Now it’s time to shift our focus to the Game in GameFi.
First up, LootBoxes. One of the main goals we want to accomplish with LootBoxes is to create an experience that:
- Empowers Adventurers through asset ownership in the form of Rarity items
- Creates an asset class outside of ERC20 tokens that has diversity of value(not just yield)
- Gives Adventurers the thrill of discovering new items and a puzzle to figure out what they should craft for their journey
Let’s dive into LootBoxes in the Realmverse.
LootBoxes in the Realmverse
We’d like to introduce a LootBox system that fits into Realm’s ethos and lends itself well to GameFi.
Realm’s ethos revolves around: Community, Ownership and Real-World Value
How to find LootBoxes
LootBoxes are dropped when an Adventurer goes on a Mission. Missions are activities that are unlocked for Adventurers once they fulfill a certain task or criteria.
New Missions roll out every month and can be daily/weekly/monthly in occurance.
What’s Inside a LootBox
LootBoxes include a Rarity item based on the rarity of the LootBox.
LootBoxes come in four rarities. The contents is hidden from the Adventurer until it is opened. Adventurers will be able to open one or all LootBoxes at once.
Speciality Items
In addition to Rarity items, Adventurers might also receive one of these Speciality item:
✅ Collectibles
✅ Multiverse item
✅ Variant Memory
✅ Tokens(PARTICLE, ANIMA, MAGIC, etc…)
Legendary LootBoxes have the highest probability of dropping a Speciality item.
Transferability
LootBoxes are fully transferable. You can move them from wallet to wallet or sell them on the Trove Marketplace.
There are two types of Rarity Items: Cosmetic and Utility items.
Cosmetic Items
Cosmetic items are fully transferable. They have three purposes.
Stack to unlock new areas of the game
Unlock new gameplay and enter contests as you stack your items.
Use to craft more powerful Utility items
Cosmetic items function as additives to craft more powerful Utility items. You can combine them with a Utility item to improve its stats and effects.
Visual Rarity Enhancement
Certain Cosmetic items can enhance the Visual Rarity of your AoV. You’ll be able to burn it and transcend into a Variant that shows the AoV with your item.
This is something we are very excited about…creating unique artwork for the collection 🎊
Utility Items
These are items the affect your Adventurer’s abilities. They provide Power-Ups for your Traits, unique abilities and access to special Missions.
Utility Items are Soulbound. That means that when you find them in a LootBox, they are NOT transferable.
We want powerful utility to be only possible through gameplay and not through buying your way into utility. You will, however, be able to customize your Adventurers with these items and sell them as a completed sets. We think this provides value accrual for Adventurers and safeguards that value.
Mythic and Exotic items
There will be Mythic and Exotic items that are craftable by using items found in LootBoxes. These items will be transferable as they will be very rare and hold high in-game value.
LootBox Conversion
Adventurers are able to convert lesser rarity LootBoxes for higher rarity LootBoxes. For example, 20 Common LootBoxes can be converted to 1 Rare LootBox. These numbers are not official numbers. This is purely an example to show how it would work.
Multiverse Items
We want to bring all our partner items into the Realmverse. We’ve got two items lined up: Treasure Fragments and KOTE Rings.
We are looking to integrate items from across the ecosystem. Contact us if you’d like to be part of our LootBox Ecosystem.
Variant Memories
If your Adventurer is an AoV, you’ll be eligible to find Variant Memories. This will provide you with special properties such as:
- Access to Limited Edition AoVs
- Ability to name your AoV
- Unlock Lore for the Realmverse
We will continue to add more ways to use Memories.
Adventurers of the Void vs Partner Adventurers
Before we conclude, I’d like to touch on the differences between owning an Adventurer of the Void and Partner Adventurers.
We are getting closer to allowing some of our Treasure Partner characters(Smols, Imbued Souls, KOTE, Beacon…) to enter the Realmverse. That means you’ll be able to use your favorite character in our Missions Platform and find LootBoxes and other rewards.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Adventurers of the Void will always have greater rewards than a Partner Adventurer as AoVs have the responsibility of being Token Distributors and being pioneers of the Realmverse.

Summary
As always, we are constantly iterating on all our gameplay but we think this is a great first step towards creating a vibrant ecosystem for AoVs and for the greater Treasure/Arbitrum ecosystem.
