Releasing on Epic
Etherscape will be releasing on the Epic Games Store on August 16th. Head over to the store page and wishlist it now. This is an important step in our journey to grow the player base and make the new player experience as simple as possible.
Market Expansion ⚖️
The in-game market has been in place for a while providing an easy way to browse items that have been listed on NFT.io and see how they will impact you build. With this new release, we are expanding the market to allow listing virtual items (not minted to the blockchain) for sale. This allows players to buy and sell items that are still able to be enchanted as well as to trade resources like Spirit Shards and Legendary Infusions. The virtual market will significantly open up trade helping players to perfect their builds and get the resources they need for crafting and seasonal events.
Virtual Items Listed in the Market
In order to fuel the virtual market, we are introducing a new premium currency called Enjinite. Enjinite is similar to gems but instead of tracking USD for value it tracks ENJ. As a result, 100 Enjinite will always equal 1 ENJ. This is necessary to ensure that the backing for Enjinite is stable even when the value of ENJ fluctuates. Etherscape will store the ENJ that backs Enjinite in a platform owned wallet so that it is always available for players who want to withdraw it.
Enjinite Tooltip
Listing virtual items on the market will cost a small gem fee. When items are sold on the market, a percentage of the sale value will be charges as a fee as well. The proceeds of these sales will count as game profit and thus will fund the Community Wallet. There is also a limit to the max number of listings that a player can have active at a time.

Governors of the Market 🪙
Along with the new market features, we are adding new utility to Imperial Sovereigns to benefit holders. Imperial Sovereign holders will be able to increase the max number of listings they can have active at a time and decrease the amount of fees that are paid per transaction. Below is the new utility added...
Imperial Sovereign Holders
50: +1 Market Listing
110: -5% Market Listing Fees
175: +2 Market Listing
550: +3 Market Listing
650: -10% Market Listing Fees
1050: +5 Market Listing
1300: -15% Market Listing Fees
2100: +10 Market Listing
3500: -20% Market Listing Fees
Enjinite Transfers and Drops 💎
Similar to Gems, you can swap your Unbound Enjinite back and forth between ENJ. Swapping ENJ to Enjinite is free and swapping Enjinite to ENJ costs a small fixed 10 Enjinite fee (.1 ENJ).
Swapping Enjinite at the Market
However, our plans for Enjinite do not stop there. Governance proposal 9 will enable Enjinite to drop for players in game. The Enjinite will be funded at 1% of the Community Wallet each week. Enjinite will drop from enemies like any other loop drop and will have higher chances with harder content and heroics.
All Enjinite that is dropped in game will be "Bound Enjinite". Bound Enjinite can only be used for making purchases on the market. Sellers on the market will always receive "Unbound Enjinite" which can be swapped back to ENJ. This will encourage higher transaction volumes on the market.
Daily Bonuses ✨
Each day is a new day that brings new opportunities to the grind. We have added a new daily bonus system in which every day there is a different unique bonus which will help to grind out resources and rewards. You can see the full list of bonuses on the whitepaper here.
A Minor Majic Find Daily Bonus
Imperial Sovereign and Heroic Mark holders will reap even more rewards from this system. We have added new bonuses for holders which will increase the potency of the daily bonus.

The Multiverse Expands ⚔️
Etherscape continues to be deeply dedicated to the support of cross game multiverse collaborations. In this latest release we are adding support for 2 more Enjin Multiverse items each with brand new utility never before seen in game.
Shadowsong will now provide you with a 3% cost reduction to resources used when enchanting. This is an amazing boost for players that keep on rolling enchants until they get their perfect stat.

Expand Your Heard 🤖🐇
The journey for collecting pets has only just begun, but one thing is already clear... it is going to be hard to choose which pet you want to equip. Well, that choice is about to get a little easier. With this release, you can now get an Ethereal Collar account upgrade which will allow you to equip additional pets.
The Ethereal Collar Account Upgrade
It is possible to acquire 2 Ethereal Collars allowing you to now equip a total of 3 pets at a time. Mix and match to find the set of abilities and bonuses that fit your style best.
New Slots to Equip Multiple Pets
New Companions 🐶👻
With this release we are adding 2 new pets which can be crafted in game. The first of these is the Light Ghost. The light ghost is a helpful companion who can save your life in a bind. He has the "Use Potion on Death" skill which will use a potion automatically at the moment you receive fatal damage in order to save your life (if your cooldown for your potion is active).
The New Light Ghost Pet
The second pet is a classic dog named Schitt-Hedd. This loyal guy will follow you around and boost your XP gain by encouraging you every step of the way.
Schitt-Hedd the Dog Pet
In order to craft these new companions, you will need to collect 2 new faction specific resources. For the ghost, you will need to collect Phantasm Concentrate from ghost enemies and for the dog you will need to collect Ancient Bones from skeleton enemies. Put them into the Etherforge to unlock their power.

That is all we have for this release. See you in game Etherborn!
