Increase reputation in Land of Dreams for lower taxes + bonus rewards.
Prestige has flourished over the years and is also known as Island Upgrades, Multiple Bumpkins & Secondary Islands. A huge shout out to all of the players whose feedback has helped shape all of these mechanics ❤️
This feature is currently in development, details in this document are likely to change.
How to Prestige?
Land of Dreams is full of unique and exotic islands that support a wide range of resources. When you start the game, you begin on a basic island with a basic tent. Once you have fully expanded your island to 16 expansions, you will be able to search and discover a new land to build upon.
When a player first prestiges, they will travel to Petal Paradise and find a brand new enchanted island. This island brings a range of new possibilities:
New Resources (Wild Flower, Magic Mushroom and Ruby Mine)
Support 2 Bumpkins on your farm.
20 Expansions
Bonus plots, fruit patches, stone, iron & gold
Your Tent - becomes a House (12x12) to place decorations and collectibles
+0.2 Crop Totem
1 additional Bumpkin
Increased Hoarding Limit
Unlock Bonus NPCs + Deliveries
When you move to a new island, all of your natural resources, inventory, collectibles and more will be moved as well. You will then place these items on your land.
When you prestige, all of your previous resource nodes (Plots, Trees, Stone, Iron, Gold + more) are returned to your inventory. You must then place these on your island.
One challenge of prestiging is that your small island cannot fit all of the resources in your inventory. Until you expand, you must be selective as to which ones you want to maintain.
Prestige Levels
Each time you prestige, you unlock an island in a different area of Land of Dreams.
You will be transported to a brand new island with different perks. Each island brings new advantages, including:
More max expansions (Up to 40 expansions)
New resources
Buffed Collectible Rewards
+1 Extra Bumpkin
Increased Home Size (e.g. Mansion that supports 20x20 grid)
Increased Hoarding Limit
Unlock Bonus NPCs + Deliveries
Players will also continue to find crop plots, fruit patches, trees + more while expanding on each island.
Additionally, there will be new minerals and resources that can only be attained on Prestiged islands. These premium resources will be used for deliveries, auctions, special events and crafting rare collectibles.
In 2024 we will experimenting with some capped resource veins. When you discover these veins, you will be able to mine it until it runs out. The only way to discover more of these is by expanding. These resources will have scarcity for each player.
Home Upgrades
With each new prestige, you will get an upgraded house which has more room to place all of your rare collectibles. This is a perfect way to save space on your main farm for resources.
Collectibles that are placed either on your farm or inside your house will both have an effect on your overall farming abilities. It is recommended to place boosts inside of your house to leave space on your farm for natural resources.
Reputation System
Bumpkins are proud builders & explorers. Improving your island prestige is a sure way to earn respect throughout Land of Dreams. Each time you prestige, you unlock a range of bonus content and perks inside of the game:
Reduced withdrawal taxes.
Bonus rewards from Bumpkins.
Restricted Areas & special events in the game.
Bonus wearables and collectibles to mark your prestige
Extra prestige badges and symbols in the MMO
Bonus Skills
The bonus room and levels will enable Bumpkins to reach new heights! To help celebrate the launch of the prestige system, a range of bonus skills will be added to help you turbo charge your Bumpkin.
To view the upcoming skills, please refer to the community proposal:
Multiple Bumpkins
Are you looking to boost your farm with some hard working Bumpkins? Each time you prestige, you are able to place an additional Bumpkin on your land, equip wearables and boost your farming abilities.
Additional Bumpkins can be added by visiting your house and following the UI. You can either purchase a Bumpkin with Block Bucks or use a Bumpkin NFT from your personal wallet.
Bumpkin Boosts
Bumpkins are skilled labourers who are proud of their professions. On your island each Bumpkin can provide unique boosts to your farm & you cannot stack wearables with similar buffs.
For instance, you cannot reuse the same wearable or wearables which have similar boosts on your Bumpkins. This works similar to how Bud NFT boosts stack.
It is recommended to have Bumpkins focussed and equipped with wearables that do not overlap. For instance, have one Bumpkin wearing all crop wearables, another wearing Fishing related wearables and another wearing Fruit related wearables.
Similar to collectibles, wearables will be locked while in use. For instance, if you are wearing a Land of Dreams Amulet, you will not be able to dequip it whilst Land of Dreams are planted.
Adding Bumpkins
To support the Multiple Bumpkin feature, we are going to use an off chain approach to track Bumpkin creation & progress. This makes it more seamless & feasible to support Bumpkins inside of Land of Dreams without risk of Bumpkin sharing and exploits to bypass game restrictions.
This means new Bumpkins will no longer be NFTs.
If you plan on using the experience on a Bumpkin NFT from a marketplace, ensure it is your primary Bumpkin on your farm before February (date to be finalised)
With the new off-chain approach, players no longer need to keep their original Bumpkin NFTs on their farm. From February we will no longer read on chain Bumpkin data. You will be able to withdraw your Bumpkin NFT as a PFP collectible into your personal wallet (wearables will stay on the farm, non-equipped wearables will be withdrawable if they were before). The Bumpkin and its experience will remain on your farm ❤️
How will this affect current farms?
With the new prestige system there are expansion limits for each island.
For players who have already reached 16 expansions, they will be able to instantly Prestige once the system is ready. As soon as they prestige, they will recover any additional expansions they already made. This means you could start Prestige 2 instantly with 9 expansions.
You will keep all of your natural resources and be given any additional new resources.
If you decide not to prestige, you will keep your expansions but will not be able to access all of the exciting opportunities on the new land.
For a short period of time, there will Prestige rewards given out to show love for all of the players who Prestige early ❤️
When will this be rolled out?
The Prestige system is a huge update which includes multiple components. We are currently in the technical planning and art stage. Implementation will begin in December. Whilst we will try to ship this as a single feature, we may release certain aspects ahead of time to get feedback. The priority is as follows:
Prestige Islands, Homes, Expansions + Resources
Multiple Bumpkins
Prestige Status - Rewards, Perks, Bonus Content + More
Skill System
New Resources
FAQ
Am I forced to prestige?
Players who prestige will gain access to new buffs, bumpkins, content etc. It is up to the player when and if they want to prestige given they meet the requirements.
How will this affect future mechanics?
Future mechanics will also be gated based on your prestige and Bumpkin Level. These includes future crops, fruits, animals and other resources.
When I prestige, where do all of my plots, fruit, trees & minerals go?
These are returned to your inventory. You can then place them where you want.
Where do all of my resources, buildings & collectibles go?
These are returned to your inventory and you can then place them where you want.
What happens if I have multiple Bumpkin NFTs in my personal wallet?
If you have multiple Bumpkin NFTs in your personal wallet, you will be able to exchange (burn) these for additional Bumpkin NPCs on your farm (instead of using Block Bucks). XP on these Bumpkins will be lost. (Refer to the 'Adding Bumpkins' section)
On the new island with prestige does the expansion are still 6x6 squares?
Yes, the expansions will be the same size.
Will there be a change to the experience curve?
The team will look at balancing the overall expansions and level system with this big update. It is likely that early levels may become easier to attain.
How hard is each prestige going to be?
We want to expose the magic of discovering a new island relatively early for new players. A player will be able to prestige relatively easy (1 month). Each island will become progressively more difficult. We anticipate it to take over 1 year to reach the final prestige.
Will new resource veins be tradeable.
This is to be decide.
Am I disadvantaged in a season if I prestige?
When you prestige you keep all of your natural resources, however you have less space to place them. On each new island, the first few expansions are relatively easy to achieve so you should gain enough space to place your resources quite quickly.
Will the prices for new expansions be the same (what if I spent a lot already)?
Yes, the prices will likely be different and require different resources, especially the new ones that are introduced. If you have already expanded past 16, you will be reimbursed any resources upon prestige.
