Through these, players will be able to earn free NFTs, HashCoins, weapons, and other items. Play more to level up your HashGuardian account and unlock new adventures. Looted or discovered items, such as weapons and clothing, are all potential NFTs. These can be used by the player, traded with other players, or sold on the secondary markets. HashCoins are also central to our game economy, and more detail can be found under the HashCoins section of this whitepaper. #### **How will the NFT system work?** In contrast to many other blockchain based games, players in the HashGuardians universe will not be forced to immediately decide whether or not to pick up (and thusly mint) loot items. Control over which items are minted and which remain ‘game only’ will be completely given to the player. Players will carry as many items as their inventory allows back to a central storage area on their HashGuardians spaceship. From there, players will be able to review items and determine their value. After the player has decided which items they would like to mint as an on-chain NFT, they will be able to do so through an in-game minting system. After minting is complete, the NFTs will be automatically sent to the player’s associated Cardano wallet. At this point, the player will be able to keep the items, trade the NFTs with other players, or sell them on the secondary market for ADA. #### **Advantages of the HashGuardians System** * Reduced minting fees by allowing players to avoid minting items individually. * Allows for in-game use of all items at no cost to the player. * Allows for extensive market research prior to deciding whether or not to mint an item. * Unminted items can be stored in-game and used or minted at a later date. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://hashguardians-2.gitbook.io/whitepaper/directory/play-to-earn-quests.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
