I love decentralization and blockchain-based games are one of my passions.
I am an active player on almost all games built and developed on the Hive blockchain, and I have also invested in some early-stage game projects where I saw potential.
One of the games that I have decided to play and invest in since its early stages (May 2021) is Dcrops and in today's post I will try to give an overview of Dcrops using my gaming experience that I have accumulated so far with the main goal of being helpful to new players.
The topics I will cover are the following:
Dcrops is an NFT-based farming game created and developed on the most beautiful blockchain there is: Hive!
On Dcrops, the player plays the role of a farming entrepreneur who, after buying one or more pieces of land (NFT), must dedicate himself to growing and producing agricultural products and selling them.
Main Site: https://www.dcrops.com
Account on Hive: @dcrops
Account on Twitter: @d-crops
Discord channel: https://discord.gg/efJBkMAfX9
To play Dcrops you must meet the following Requirements:.
Today, August 9, 2022, the minimum initial investment to start playing Dcrops is 3.48 SWAP.HIVE which is the cost to purchase an Average Farmland NFT and a Radish NFT.
Note, however, that the minimum initial investment is not necessarily the best possible initial investment and you will understand this as you continue reading this post ;)
On Dcrops there are three types of NFTs:
All NFTs that can be used in the dCrops game can be viewed from the Cards section of the dCrops website.
Within the Cards section there are search filters useful for narrowing the search and displaying only certain types of cards.
The graphics and symbols on each NFT allow you to quickly identify both the type and attributes of each NFT.
In the game of Dcrops there are a total of 4 LAND cards available:
LAND cards also have a bonus attribute whose value increases as the rarity of the card increases:
Note: When the current presale BETA will be over (August 25, 2022) and it will be possible to open BETA packs to the four types of Land cards I listed above a fifth Land card of legendary type will be added.
Seed-type cards are closely related to the time and seasons mechanism of Dcrops because each Seed-type NFT can only be used during a specific season and thus can be used cyclically every 45 days.
Note: At the end of the Presale BETA, the first Seed card that can be used in two seasons, the Corn card, will be distributed.
In the table below you can see all the Seed type cards from the alpha edition that are currently usable in the game with an indication of the season in which each card can be used.
Each SEED card has:
In the following image you can see all the Seed cards that can be used on Dcrops, which total 20, 5 for each season.
NFTs of type Resource are not yet usable in the current game dynamics but will be soon, starting on August 25, 2022, when Dcrops will enter the Beta phase and crafting to obtain NFTs of type Building will be possible.
Currently, Resource-type NFTs can be found within the chests of Dcrops Quests or can be purchased from the Market section of Dcrops from other players.
CROP tokens are second-level tokens of the Hive blockchain and can be transferred, bought, and sold by dexes of Hive's second-level tokens such as:
https://hive-engine.com/
https://tribaldex.com/
https://leodex.io/
With CROP tokens it is possible to:
In the following image you can see the graph of the trend in the value of CROP tokens (August 9, 2022).
Today, August 9, 2022, the value of 1 token CROP is:
The Shares points are not tokens but are game points obtainable exclusively from the sale of agricultural products.
When an agricultural product is mature and ready to be harvested you will display a chronometer symbol in red next to the image of the seed.
To perform the harvest operation:
Once you have harvested you can view your newly harvested agricultural products within the Inventory section.
To make a sale of an agricultural product you must follow the steps indicated by the arrows in the following image.
For example from the sale of Tomato of quality equal to 1 star you get 7 Shares points useful for getting CROP tokens at the end of the season.
Simple right? ;)
In the game of Dcrops there are three reward mechanisms:
The Leaderboard is the seasonal reward mechanism that Dcrops uses to reward active players during each season.
The reward that you can receive from participating in the Leaderboard is a certain amount of CROP tokens awarded based on a Reward pool and based on the Shares points earned by each player during a season of play.
The Leaderboard for the current season (winter) has a reward pool of 434526.49 CROP tokens.
The Holding Rewards leaderboard rewards players based on their CROP Power score with an amount of HIVE tokens distributed daily.
CROP Power is a sum of the average values of your dCrops assets.
You can read all the details about CROP POWER and Holding Rewards ranking in the post published by the @dcrops account at the following link: https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@dcrops/earn-hive-by-holding-dcrops-assets-211-apy-details-inside
To receive daily rewards, you must have a CROP Power score of 20000 points or more.
In the following image you can see the CROP Power score assigned to each Dcrops asset.
To the above list you need to add the BETA Packs that produce a 2000 CROP POWER score.
I have a CROP POWER score of 52973.72 points and the last daily reward I received was 0.083 HIVE.
The last reward mechanism is the Quests.
The reward for completing quests is an amount of Reward Chests whose contents can be a Booster or a NFT of type Resource.
Honestly, the quests mechanism is the one I like the least and I explained my reasons in a previous post of mine: Are the Dcrops Quests improvable?
Changes have recently been made to the quests mechanism and you can read all the details in this post: https://peakd.com/hive-140217/@dcrops/dcrops-update-quests-reward-changes-buying-reward-chests-withdraw-beta-packs-to-hive-engine-and-more
To start playing right away you need to purchase at least:
Regarding Land type cards I recommend buying the cards that have the lowest Cost per Plot.
From the Market section you can purchase Land cards using two tokens as the payment method:
Based on the current values of HIVE tokens and CROP tokens, I calculated the cost per plot for each Land card in the market using SWAP.HIVE tokens and CROP tokens as the payment method.
As you can see from the calculations in the table below there can be a lot of difference in price between one payment method and another.
If I were a new Dcrops player I would purchase a Average Farmland card because it has the lowest cost per plot (3.49 SWAP.HIVE) if purchased using SWAP.HIVE tokens as a payment method ;)
Only the legendary card Bell Pepper can be used multiple times during the winter season (it has no cooldown period).
All other cards can only be used once during a winter season after which they can be reused in the following winter season.
SEED cards allow you to obtain agricultural products (Crop) that can be sold in exchange for SHARES points .
SHARES points allow you to place yourself in the Leaderboard of Dcrops and get a certain amount of CROP tokens (end-of-season reward) as a prize.
Whenever I purchased a Seed card from the market, I always chose to purchase the card that had the best SHARES POINTS/HIVE ratio.
The SHARES/HIVE POINTS ratio indicates the minimum number of Shares points obtainable from a Seed card for each HIVE token spent in purchasing the Seed card.
Calculating the value of the POINTS SHARES/HIVE ratio of each SEED card is easy:
Total SHARES POINTS obtainable from the SEED card in a season/seed card purchase cost (in HIVE)
In the table below you can see which card has the best ratio of SHARES/HIVE POINTS: the Cabbage card of rare type.
The Cabbage card allows you to earn 24 Shares points for every HIVE spent in its purchase and is therefore for me the best possible purchase at this time.
The worst possible purchase is the legendary card Bell Pepper which, although it has the ability to produce 140 Shares in a single season, has a very low POINTS SHARES/HIVE ratio (3.69) due to its high market price.
On July 25, 20222, the BETA Presale of Dcrops began and will end on August 25, 2022.
During the BETA Presale it is possible to purchase BETA packs that contain 3 NFTs and can be opened at the end of the presale.
BETA packs on sale during the presale are priced at a discount compared to the price they will be during the general sale beginning on August 25, 2022:
The total number of BETA packs in circulation will be 300000 units whose distribution will be as follows:
Today, August 9, 2022, after 16 days since the presale began, 12680 BETA packs have been sold and there are still 87320 BETA packs available for purchase.
It is possible to purchase Beta packs from the Shop section of Dcrops and there are also bonuses for purchases of multiple packs in one transaction:
To purchase Dcrops' BETA packs, you can choose from 5 different payment methods = 5 different tokens:
In the following image you can see the values of all tokens that can be used as a payment method to purchase Dcrops Beta Packs (values as of today's date August 9, 2022).
Although a BETA pack has a cost set at the value of $2.70 the effective dollar cost is not the same and changes based on:
Fifteen days ago I published a post in which I calculated the effective dollar cost of a dCrops BETA pack for each possible purchase method, and today I am redoing the same calculations to help those of my readers who are planning to purchase BETA packs and do not know which token to use.
Buying a Beta pack using HIVE tokens or SWAP.HIVE tokens as the payment method will always have an effective cost in dollars equal to $2.70 because in the Shop section of Dcrops the value of the HIVE and SWAP.HIVE tokens is continuously updated based on the market value of the HIVE and SWAP.HIVE tokens.
Today August 9, 2022 to purchase 1 pack of BETA cards requires 4.0299 HIVE = $2.70 (15 days ago 5.0093 HIVE was required).
The effective cost is the same as the set cost of $2.70.
Using CROP tokens as a payment method allows for a 15% discount but as you can see from the calculations in the following image it is not the method I recommend because based on the current value of CROP tokens each pack of cards would cost $5.97 instead of $2.70.
A less costly alternative would be to choose to wait some time and try to place a bid (Highest BID) for CROP tokens but even then the cost would still be high: 5.31$ instead of 2.70$.
Buying a Beta pack using HBD tokens has a fixed cost of 2.70 HBD on Dcrops Shop but that does not take into account the current market value of HBD tokens: 1 HBD = $0.9760.
Buying 1 Beta pack using HBD tokens as the payment method has an effective cost of $2.6352 instead of $2.70.
In this case there is a saving of $0.0648 per pack purchased.
The last possible purchase option in the Shop section of Dcrops is the use of SWAP.BUSD tokens.
Based on the best sale offer of SWAP.BUSD tokens (Lowest Ask) present today, August 9, 2022, on TribalDex, purchasing a BETA pack using SWAP.BUSD tokens as a payment method has an effective cost of $3.05 instead of $2.70.
Trying to place an offer to purchase (Highest BID) could bring down the effective cost per pack to 2.87$ which is still a higher cost than the 2.70$ price
In any blockchain-based farming game it is always important to do calculations and evaluations before buying an NFT or token and the calculations I have shown prove the truth of this statement.
To recap today, August 9, 2022, the best payment method to use to purchase a BETA pack is to use HBD tokens that allow you to pay a BETA pack $2.6352 instead of $2.70.
This is exactly the purchase method I used today to purchase 20 BETA packs.
I spent 54 HBD and now I have 20 Alpha packs and 20 BETA packs among my Dcrops assets and in the next few days I will consider whether to make a new investment before the presale ends or stop here.
BETA packs will be able to be opened at the end of the presale and there will be 50+ new NFTs to use in Dcrops' game.
Starting August 25, 2022, new game dynamics will also be introduced because it will be possible to use and combine NFTs to perform crafting, cooking and Blueprint operations.
More than a year has passed since I decided to play and invest on Dcrops and from the financial point of view I have been getting good results.
Considering my last investment of 54 HBD to buy 20 BETA packs I have increased the total cost of my investment on Dcrops which is now equal to 368.96 HIVE.
If I consider the current value of my NFT collection and the value of DCALPHA tokens and DCBETA tokens on TribalDex to date I have obtained the following financial results:
Dcrops is a game that I like and it is a project that has potential in my opinion and that is why I decided to invest in it.
I like the theme of the game, I like the graphics, and I think the development team has done a really good job from a development standpoint and in implementing the game dynamics.
This is just my humble opinion as a simple gamer but there are also aspects that can be improved in my opinion:
That is why I am very happy that OCD has decided to support the Dcrops project by organizing the contest in which I also decided to participate with this post of mine.
I hope this post of mine will be useful to those of my readers who are not familiar with Dcrops and those who are planning to participate in the Dcrops Beta presale, and if you have come this far I thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Amico mio, io e @lozio71 ci stiamo squassando la testa quanto all'obbligatorietà o meno dell'uso delle resources nella fase beta. Lui teme il rimanere del tutto bloccati senza e ovviamente il fatto che il loro prezzo subisca un pump tale da renderne proibitiva la compera senza svenarsi (già iron e golden per me sono out of limits per i costi, sia pure essendo calati rispetto a qualche giorno fa e @lozio71 è certo o quasi che proprio iron sarà indispensabile per una questione logica: il ferro è fondamentale per suppellettili e svariati edifici). Da parte mia, se anche fosse, ma potessi continuare a giocare come finora ho fatto (cioè se la modalità piantare e raccogliere sarà ancora da sola possibile), non sarebbe problematico, attendendo tempi migliori per l'acquisto delle risorse e far partire un gioco più vario. Se poi i guadagni passivi (che già mi stanno arrivando) non verranno intaccati dall'eventuale obbligatorietà dell'uso delle risorse, anche lì, no problem. Se poi si potrà giocare anche solo con i primi tre (wood, stone e copper) e i prezzi non diventano impossibili, anche lì, a mille meraviglie. Il fatto sta che sia io che @lozio71 non andiamo esattamenti pazzi per le quests, dato che si fa necessario essere latinfondisti per completarle senza farsi spremere come limoni. Ora sono indecisa su un da farsi entro il 25: vorrei comprare altri 2 pack beta e ce la faccio, ma secondo te farei meglio invece a comprare risorse (sto in dubbio se mi riuscirà a comprare sia gli uni che le altre, perchè un minimo di prelievo mensile lo devo pur fare) ora che il prezzo è calato? Al momento però soltanto wood e stone, perchè copper entro il 25 non ce la faccio.
In realtà non so se saranno "obbligatorie", o meno, ma certamente direi abbastanza indispensabili, se si vogliono costruire manufatti, suppellettili, ed eventualmente anche edifici, attività che, stando a quello che viene detto nella presentazione che riguarda le nuove carte dell'edizione Beta, diventeranno abbastanza fondamentali per il proseguio del gioco.
Il dubbio che il prezzo delle stesse, quindi, presto inizi a lievitare, direi che è abbastanza sensato, visto che non tutti sono in grado di procurarsele, facilmente, attraverso le Quests, che sembra, al momento, che siano l'unico modo per riuscire ad ottenerle, salvo che non ne venga implementato qualcun altro nel prossimo futuro.
Ho notato che in questi giorni, ad esempio, all'interno dello shop, tra le cose che si possono acquistare sono stati inseriti anche dei bauli, che sono gli stessi che si dovrebbero ottenere al completamento delle varie missioni giornaliere, ma non è però chiaro, quale possa essere il contenuto che vi andremo a trovare una volta aperti.
Apparentemente, infatti, non sembra che si parli anche di risorse, ma semplicemente di boosters, e di conseguenza anche l'acquisto di quegli scrigni, potrebbe rivelarsi inutile, oltre che dispendioso, visto che non sono esattamente gratuiti.
Credo, comunque, che si potrà tranquillamente continuare a giocare facendo le stesse cose che si facevano prima, e di conseguenza, eventualmente, vorrà molto semplicemente dire che certe cose dovranno semplicemente attendere tempi migliori, ma sinceramente mi piacerebbe poter partire, fin da subito, potendo sfruttare appieno tutte le nuove possibilità che verranno offertete dall'inizio della nuova era della versione Beta, e non essere, invece, limitato.
Il problema delle Quests come unica fonte di risorse, quindi, potrebbe diventare piuttosto pesante, visto che, per poterle completare in una stagione, spesso e volentieri, anzi, praticamente ogni volta, si deve cambiare uno, o più, dei compiti che ci vengono assegnati, poiché non c'entrano nulla con la stagione in corso, andando a spendere, quindi, dei crops per effettuare questo cambio, ma oltre a questo c'è anche da dire che, anche una volta fatti questi cambi, non vi è, comunque, una certezza assoluta di riuscire a completare la missione, poichè basterebbe che, per qualche motivo, uno dei compiti da concludere non venga portata a termine esattamente nel modo richiesto, perché tutto vada a gamba all'aria.
Situazione, insomma, non semplice e che lascia aperti molti dubbi...
!PGM
!LOL
Le quests infatti le lascerei proprio perdere, rivolgendomi piuttosto al market in un periodo di saldi. Innalzare il crop power è comunque il mio obiettivo principale, anche se ovviamente avere HayDay che gira in hive e poterci giocare sarebbe fichissimo.

Just wondering, but are the CROPS tokens given to you as soon as the crop is harvested, or is it given at the end of the season?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes this point can be a bit confusing because there are two same terms that mean different elements.
From the harvest operation you get crops which are game elements and can be sold for Shares points.
With Shares points you enter the leaderboard that distributes CROP tokens every end of the season.

A brilliant tutorial. I just reblogged, I'm playing Splinterlands and it's my only game on Hive so far. I was thinking of Hashkings, but now after seeing this dcrops I might choose this game now !
Hi thank you for your comment and sorry for the delay in replying but I was on vacation and some comments escaped me.
I play both Hashkings and Dcrops and they are both games that I like but if I were a new player and had to choose one between the two maybe I would choose Dcrops but only because it is younger as a game and if it will be successful in the future entering now, in Beta phase, might be a good choice but obviously the future is not predictable...unfortunately

Thank a lot @themarkymark for pointing out the error, I saved in an excel sheet the links and references of the blockchain projects I play and invest in and accidentally took the reference to Apemingclub instead of taking the one to Dcrops.
