# Ruyui NFT Perks Ruyui NFTs are the core of our ecosystem, and we're committed to rewarding holders with meaningful benefits. Our approach prioritizes long-term sustainability over short-term hype. ### Our Philosophy We're starting small and scaling up over time. Many web3 games have crashed by over-promising NFT perks from day one, creating unsustainable expectations and breaking game balance. We're taking a different path. **Why start small?** You can always scale up, but you can't scale down without breaking trust. By building perks gradually, we can: * Keep gameplay fair for everyone * Welcome new players without gatekeeping * Deliver consistent value without compromising balance * Grow the perk system as the ecosystem grows ### Current NFT Benefits **Global Leaderboard Multipliers** \ NFT holders receive ranking boosts when tied with non-holders. The more Ruyui NFTs you hold (by amount), the higher your multiplier. This affects leaderboard positioning and related rewards. #### Multiplier Logic * Every additional NFT increases your multiplier * Multiplier growth follows a diminishing returns model * Tier bonuses unlock at: * 1 NFT * 7 NFTs * 20 NFTs * 50 NFTs * 100 NFTs * 200 NFTs * Total multiplier is capped at **1.35x** #### Score Formula `Level × 1000 × Multiplier`\ Score is rounded down to the nearest whole number. #### **Shop Discounts** Discounts on Guild Passes, skins, loot boxes, and other in-game shop purchases. *(Coming soon)* #### **Multiplayer Skins** Use your Ruyui NFTs as character skins in multiplayer. *(Releasing with multiplayer features)* #### **Free Event Entries** Free entries to seasonal competitive events like Death Mode. *(Details TBA)* #### More Coming We have many additional perks in development. Each one has a specific time and reason for release, ensuring they enhance your experience without compromising fairness. {% hint style="warning" %} **Our Commitment:** Holding Ruyui NFTs will **never** grant advantages in core gameplay or progression. Perks focus on cosmetics, convenience, economic benefits, and exclusive access, rewarding holders without creating pay-to-win scenarios. {% endhint %} # Merchant You can buy and sell items with **Filburt**, using **Runes.**

He’s **quick to protect his friends** and swears that “candy clouds” are his favorite food, even though no one’s ever seen him eat one.
Crash An **orc** raised in Embervault’s public orphanage, Crash is open-hearted, strong, and endlessly loyal. He dreams of **proving his strength** through with the group and protecting those he calls family. When he isn’t training or fighting, he’s cooking for friends.
