Trading

All Heroes, Items and Pets in Estfor are NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). They exist in your connected wallet and are owned by you only. The only way to change ownership is to transfer them to another wallet which can be done either with an in-game transfer or by selling it. Nobody can take it from you, not even the game developers, unless you lose access to your wallet key, so KEEP IT SAFE. You are responsible for your wallet just as you are responsible for any cryptocurrency you own. NOBODY can reimburse you for lost coins or game assets in case of a compromised wallet.

All NFTs have a monetary value determined by supply and demand for the particular Hero, Item or Pet. That means you can earn money, tiny or large depending on your IRL trading skills! Different trading features are available for the Estfor NFTs, depending on type. Continue reading to find out what best suits you.

Heroes: Currently only supported on PaintSwap
Pets: Currently only supported on PaintSwap
Items: Supported on PaintSwap, In-game Shop and P2P Trading

PaintSwap (PS)

The PaintSwap NFT marketplace was the original product built by the PaintSwap team, who also developed Estfor. It supports all NFTs found in Estfor and contains many tools for doing simple and advanced trades, including but not limited to time-limited sales, auctions, offers, floor sweeping, P2P swapping, sale notifications and much more. While it is possible to trade in-game items on PS, the developers recommend using the P2P trading bazaar inside Estfor for simplicity and a more suitable order book (see below). Heroes and pets can currently only be traded on PS.

Estfor In-game Shop

The game shop was built to support a complete in-game economy separated from the PaintSwap marketplace, using $BRUSH as crypto token. Some items needed to progress further in the game, or to boost your levels, can be bought in the shop where the funds are split into the game treasure, development funds and token burns. The game treasure is then used to fund players when they sell back items into the shop, where items are instantly burned. This makes it possible for anyone to earn $BRUSH simply by obtaining items in the game. The more players buy certain items, the more funds are given back. The in-game shop does currently not support Heroes or Pets trading.

Estfor P2P Trading Bazaar

The bazaar was the latest addition to the trading experience. It uses a novel order-book type of trading, similar to how many centralized stocks or crypto exchanges work. The difference is the Estfor Bazaar is de-centralized and lives completely on-chain where nothing can be interfered with. You simply choose to buy or sell a certain item at a certain price. If the item exists at the price (in the opposite direction), your buy/sell order will be completed instantly. If you enter a higher sell price or lower buy price than available in the order book, a new order will be created that someone else can fill later on.

It's the optimal way of trading items in Estfor and the developers recommend this approach over both PaintSwap and the in-game shop. It also supports bulk orders, automatic fills, editing, removal, trading history and more. The idea is that you should be able to buy or sell anything with a click of a button, at balanced prices. The more players who use the Bazaar, the deeper the order book and the better and more consistent the prices will be for everyone. The Bazaar does currently not support Heroes or Pets trading.

Item Valuation

As the trading of NFTs are driven by supply and demand there is no way to tell the exact price for a certain item. However, most items in Estfor are bound to a certain effort in acquiring them. That can be used to gain knowledge, compare and create benchmarks.

As a player of the game, you have the option to trade your items for other needed items. A community member has created a trade rate list to serve as a basis and help facilitate fair and good trades. "Jul 6, 2024 by MANDAL"

Combat-dropped items and non-combat items are both available.

For instance, if we have 10 cooked goldfish, it is equivalent to 12 living logs or 7 ropes. This infers that 12 living logs are equivalent to 7 ropes. The numbers provided are derived from the time and resources required for various actions. Each hour of all actions is equivalent to 30 cooked goldfish, regardless of the level or items used. Additionally, an hour of cooking goldfish, with an average 70% success rate, produces 30 cooked goldfish. Some items are missing, so their rates need to be estimated. For example, the rate for “One Runite” sword to shadow scroll can be calculated in the following way: 1 Runite sword requires one hour of work and 20 Runite bars, while a shadow scroll necessitates one hour of work, 200 bonemeal, and 200 pieces of paper. Given that 10 cooked goldfish equals 4 Runite bars, we can conclude that 50 cooked goldfish equals 20 Runite bars. Therefore, a sword is worth 50 plus 30 cooked goldfish, which is equal to 80 cooked goldfish. For the shadow scroll, which entails one hour of work, paper, and bonemeal, it was estimated that 10 cooked goldfish equals 600 paper and 250 bonemeal. As a result, an hour of shadow scroll requires 200 of each of these items, which is equivalent to 30 cooked goldfish, 8 cooked goldfish (bonemeal), and 3.3 cooked goldfish (paper), totaling 41.3 cooked goldfish. Therefore, 1 runite sword is equal to approximately 400 shadow scrolls."

When comparing items from the same group, remember to consider each item's quantity within that group. To compare items from different groups, there are two methods: either compare based on the amount of food consumed per item, or use 163000 cooked goldfish, which is sufficient for Viki to farm a fire titan for 2 days. Each group has coefficients that help determine the actual amount of dropped items for Viki by consuming 163000 cooked goldfish. These calculations are based on HP and do not include any other factors.
