Hello everyone.
Hoping you are all in good health and in great shape.

This is gonna be my 2nd entry regarding the Serfdom & Sorcery game.
For those that do not have any idea or haven’t heard what it is…read below…

Serfdom & Sorcery

It is a role-playing game (RPG) that uses Doubloon (DBLN) as its utility token. There are three governance token that will be employed in the game… TERRA, SEA and AIR. Terra is released earlier among the other two and have some uses already within the game while the former and the latter are still in the works.

You will learn some info about Terra as you go through this writing.

As far as I knew, this game is the first HIVE Game played via Discord. It’s basically free to play and play to earn, but of course, the earnings will be somehow minimal in this stage. One would need to spend some if they want to earn a sizable amount during their journey in this game.

Now that we have a rough idea of what it is, what is next?
Well, to play the game, one needs to register himself…or her, in the game first.
To play, aspirants need to go here to register... or in any Discord server that had already onboarded the game for that matter.

Lots of things have changed since its inception several months ago. More commands were added, maximum player levels increased, cooldown times adjusted, staking and staking rewards and withdrawal limits and taxes imposed implemented, buildings introduced, different perks released governance token released and many more

You will get to learn all of these as you progress in the game.

Lets discuss some changes or progress within the game ecosystem.

Limited edition NFT’s

There were NFT’s that were released to help the players to progress further in the game. Each NFT is priced at 50Hive.
Buying more weapon/armor NFT allows a player to meld them into single weapon and obtain a more powerful weapon.
Look below to see how the NFT’s are categorized

NFT's	Number	Attributes
Dragon’s Decree	1	+25atk
Quantum’s Edge	10	+85atk
Nihilith	40	+400atk
Nebula Ironclad	1	+25def
Celestial Vanguard	10	+85def
Wyvern’s Whisper	1	+15atk/def
Serpent’s Secret	5	+45atk/def

The attack NFT's above can be dual-wield while the defense NFT's cannot.

Additionally, there were NFT’s that were specifically created and given to players upon reaching a certain milestone.
The following NFT’s are described below.

NFT	Attributes	Milestone Reached
Prometheus’s Prophetic Plate	+600def	First 10 layers with 10m tokens staked
Obelisk Ring	+100atk/+100def	First 3players to reach Level 500
Singularity Ring	+1500/+1000def	Given to a single player that is first to reach Level 1000

Increasing of Highest Level a Player can reach

Below is a breakdown of the levels from lowest to highest
Players play and attack monsters of increasing difficulty to level their accounts up. Note that the more players reach Kings status, the monsters are programmed to slightly become more difficult…knowing this, some payers race to Kings status so they don’t get left behind and be the only ones to battle a monster with increasing difficulty. Furthermore, jobs within the S&S Sphere requires a certain a level to be unlocked by any player… So the only way is to increase a player’s level.
Below is the updated table ok player’s ranks based on the level they attained.

Rank	Level(min-max)	Rank	Level(min-max)
Serfs	Level 1-5	Peasants	Level 6-13
Knights	Level 14-33	Barons	Level 34-60
Dukes	Level 61-99	Kings	Level 100-499
Angelic	Level 500-1000	Celestial	1001 up

Once you have reached Celestial rank, you can now finally rest your numbed fingers from attacking and slaying monster… That’s what I thought too. 🤣🤣🤣
After reaching the top, players are given the opportunity to Ascend. This means they will start all over again… but retaining all the stats and jobs they attained during the previous journey. Ascended players can breeze it through lower levels and reach higher levels again in no time.

Staking, Withdrawal and Taxes

Staking offer various rewards. One being able to receive huge potions in relation to the maximum reward pool and amount of tokens staked in-game. This means the higher a player’s staked tokens the more the potions he will receive on a day-to-day basis. Some cooldowns are reduced based on the amount staked, too. Now, for those players that are able to claim the Prometheus’s Prophetic Plate= +600def the plates defense stat is increased even more to a certain degree when the staked tokens is increased even more.
One more benefit of staking DBLN in-game is it’s tied-up to how much a player can withdraw.

Withdrawal amount is linked to how much a player has staked tokens in-game. Kindly refer to the guide below:

Staked Tokens	Withdrawable Amount	Staked Tokens	Withdrawable Amount
Less than 100k	1%	Less than 500k	2%
Less than 800k	5%	Less than 1m	8%
Less than 5m	12%	5m and up	unlimited amount

Now that we have covered the withdrawal limits imposed based on a payer’s staked tokens, let us now discussed the tax that is implemented in the game.

Withdraw Amount	Tax		Withdraw Amount	Tax
Less than10k	30%		Less than 100k	25%
Less than 250k	20%		Less than 500k	15%
Less than 1m	10%		More than 1m	5%

Buildings Introduced

The ranches were introduced in the ecosystem. They cost 100k DBLN and pays 1k DBLN daily. At 40ranches, they can be combined by !conjurecitadel command which will transform them into Seedling Citadels which will then give a daily drop of 50k DBLN. Additionally, 5Seedling Citadels can then be merged into an Acropolis by using the command !greenfortress. Once merged, they will then be able to give daily drops of 300k DBLN.

Aside from the increase of tokens received by players owning these items, they give Emerald Drake and Emerald Dragon, respectively, which is a great help in slaying monsters. The Emerald Drake gives additional 10% to attacks dealt by the player while the Emerald Dragon gives a double attack boost…and they stack… meaning the attack bonus is multiplied by how many of these items a player owns.

Pets Introduced into the Game

Different type of pets are introduced into the game and any player can choose one among them. Currently, they do not have uses in the game but hoping that progress is in the works. From time to time, I can see players leveling up their pets and has such became a hot topic at some point.
The pets that can be acquired is listed below:

• Hydraling – costs 700k. Single and tiny headed creature known for regenerative abilities. More heads emerges as this beast grows.
• Taurcalf – costs 700k. small and sturdy beast with natural affinity to mazes. Their strength and resilience becomes legendary as they mature
• Cyclopet – costs 700k. a single-eyed beast with keen vision and immense potential strength.
• Unifoal – costs 550k. small horned beast, known for their purity and grace. As these beast grows, their magical abilities become unparalled
• Zombito – costs 600k. tiny, relentless, have insatiable hunger. As they grow, their resilience and strength become a force to be reckoned with.

!beastadoption – a command any player can use to summon and purchase any beats of their choosing.

In addition to the pets above, some pets of different rarities can be caught by using nets. These pets will be used in battling in the arenas. A player must use net to catch these pets.
!makenet – used to craft a net of different strength relative to the amount of materials used, uses certain amount of wood and wool

Type	Wood	Wool	Steel
Weak	3pcs	3pcs
Strong	5pcs	5pcs	2pcs
Superstrong	10pcs	10pcs	5pcs
Mega	20pcs	20pcs	15pcs

!catchpet – used to catch pets with different rarities
!managepets – lets your pet be trained or converted into souls to strengthen another pet you have caught

I may have missed some newly added command here so keep an eye out for other commands regarding pets.

These beasts will surely grace the battlefield/arenas someday soon.

Introduction of Governance Token

TERRA, SEA and AIR are the three governance tokens employed or used in the game.
We'll only discuss Terra for now as the other two are not yet fully released or still in the works.

TERRA is the first governance token introduced. There was a total of 50k terra tokens minted. Staking them in-game will give certain benefits which will be discussed below.

• Staking benefits:

Amount	Benefits
20Terra	it turns raven and wolf into Stone Raven and Stone Wolf which will bring in almost 3x the loot a normal raven or wolf does does
50Terra	by staking this amount of Terra, you will be given a Baby Golem which will be helpful in slaying a monster. It accumulates its own experience every time a player attacks, thus it levels up the more a player uses it. A player will also have the ability to cast protection to any player he/she wishes to. The protection last an hour and can be casted to any player again every 30minutes., !caststoneguard (1hour, 30min cd)
100Terra	by staking this amount of Terra in-game you will automatically receive a mini-golem that can be used to attack other players. No amount of protection can shield a player from this beast
200Terra	by staking this amount of Terra in-game you will automatically receive a colossal golem that can be used to attack other players. This works like a mini-golem but yields the owner more tokens and deals more damage to the one receiving the attack.
350Terra	staking this amount of Terra in-game enables a player to send RAWK (!sendrawk) which brings forth purely huge and gargantuan potions. The numbers they deliver vary and they can be sent every 5hours
500Terra	staking this huge amount of Terra in-game enables a player to a certain perk wherein there is a 25% chance of casting the Stalagmite Spell where it impales the target and do 5times the regular damage a player normally deals. Galleon is also given to players with this much amount of staked Terra.
1000Terra	staking this huge amount of Terra enables a player to receive a Sea Fortress. What it does is currently being developed same as the Galleon earlier.

• Governing rights:

Owning and staking a certain amount of Terra also allows a player to have a governing rights based on the number of Terra staked. Below is the breakdown of the rights received by the amount of Terra staked.

Area	Terra	Benefits
Peasant plots	1-10	Basic Land ownership, ability to build small dwellings. Basic voting rights on local community matters
Knight Keeps	11-50	Ability to build fortified homes, small-scale mining rights and access to local trade routes. Enhanced voting rights including regional matters. Eligibility to join knightly orders and participate in regional tournaments

SEA is the second governance token minted with 50k total minted. All players that has staked Terra in-game until October 15, 2023 are eligible to receive SEAtokens with a 1:1 ratio. The benefits for holding and staking SEA tokens is yet to be disclosed other than the Galleon and Sea Fortress which uses and functions is yet to be disclosed either.

AIR is the third governance token released with a planned 10k total tokens to be minted. This token is exclusively tradeable with $DBLN at a rate of 300k each.

That much info is disclosed so far for the three governance tokens for this game. Many benefits surely awaits the holders and stakers in the coming days...

Now that we're done with the Governance Token, let us now proceed to the other important aspect of the game which is also constantly updated...

Please always keep in mind that though I tried to list all the possible commands I knew and seen being used over and over again, I may have missed something. Always keep an eye out especially for those newly created commands.

There is also new energy system employed in the game...this means that almost all commands will be requiring a certain amount of energy usage everytime a player uses...remember to always check your energy...
This energy system restricts a lot of players from spamming commands so spend your energy wisely... I wished to have included commands that uses energy here but lacking significant paired with very slow net connections make me unable to do so...

Energy system will be posted some other time.

That is all for today from me...
Hoping this list of commands is able to help anyone in one way or another.

On a side note, here are other projects currently being fine-tuned within the game. It will offer another thrilling adventure for all gamers alike. Cave Exploration is one for example.

To go cave exploring, one needs only execute !explorecave and pay 15k tokens as an entrance fee. Once inside, you will mostly be given max of three choices while exploring. Once the choices are laid-out, the answer must be selected quickly, else your exploration ,might suddenly stop and you are back at the entrance again. Granite and ores can be found inside the cave which is also considered a rare material which will be used to construct a ballista. A ballista is a weapon which can repel dragon attacks.

Currently, one the rarest of rare NFT is inside the cave but being extremely rare, no one has found it yet.

Who gets to capture the first Cerberus, I wonder...
Until then... keep playing...

Thank you for reading...
