The Walking Dead: All Stars P2O Update Earnings Breakdown
TWDAS has just released its most recent blockchain update, but how many tokens can the players actually earn from this game. That is the burning question. Well, I have dived in as a relative newbie and have the stats to show for it.
For how the P2O system works in this game, check out the official blog: https://medium.com/xpla-ecosystem/game-p2o-guide-for-the-walking-dead-all-stars-6e21cca47457
Quick Recap of P2O in TWDAS:
Usually in any XPLA powered games, players collect a certain number of in-game resources (call it shards/crystals/rubies/key points, etc.), and then convert them to a crypto token at some ratio. No exception in this one, players convert key points (collected by watching or skipping ads) to keys (at a fixed ratio of 2500 key points per key). And depends on the crafting level (see image above), players get a purple/gold/red key with increasing rarity.
Each key opens a corresponding safe that will give players Unknown Coin (which converts to $XPLA at roughly 1000 : 1 ratio), there is a wait time to open each safe but can be skipped by using gold bars at 100/200/400 per rarity.
Now there are two Gacha (random) factors here, the key crafted is random (weighted), and the Unknown Coin generated by the key is also weighted random (sometimes with purple keys, you get in-game items instead of UC).
Another caveat here is crafting count (in the image above 67/70) drops by 1 every day, if players don’t craft at least one key per day, the crafting level will be back at zero at some point.
Once players have at least 10,000 UC, they can go to XPLA games wallet to convert. Currently, 50,000 UC is the daily max per player.
My Stats:
I’m relatively new to the game, it’s been out for more than a year now. The higher a player’s VIP level and main chapter progress, the more key points are given per ad. I’m at VIP 3 and chapter 12, for your reference.
A caveat here is players are recommended to finish Key Point Mission (see image above) BEFORE watching any ads, otherwise the key points given would be none to very little. It takes about 10 mins per day, easy quests.
Without Ad Skip (reaching VIP 12 it’s included, or purchase 30 day Ad Skip for $4.99 USD + app store fees, around $5.43 USD for me). I was getting 30–40 key points per ad, key point mission was giving 80 key points. In total about 500–600 points per day.
With Ad Skip at my level, each ad was giving 700 key points (and no Ad!), averaging 10,000 key points per day, or 4 keys per day.
So I would not recommend try to play and earn without Ad Skip, it would take 4–5 days per key and with crafting level constantly dropping, not a good idea.
For a quick test of 4 days, I had produced 16 keys, 1 red, 3 gold, and 12 purple. I had gold keys dropping from 600 to 6000 UC, red key only produced 1600 UC (only once though, small sample size, haha), purple keys around 300–500 UC each and random in-game items.
Total ~16,598 Unknown Coin = ~4K UC per day = ~4 $XPLA. At current $XPLA price of $0.20 (later October 2023), it’s about $0.80/day for a relatively new player. Now notice this is average, players may get a spike UC drop from a gold or red key.
Now what about a high level player? I have read from Discord that a VIP 16 player gets >1,000 key points per day, so we can extrapolate to +50% from my data, ~$1.20/day on average.
Conclusion
There you go, it’s a fun casual game, now you have the stats and can decide whether you want to dip in :)
