Mines of Dalarnia guide: How to get started in the play-to-earn crypto game

THE YEAR of 2021 saw the release of an incredible variety of crypto games, using a “play-to-earn” model to reward players.

They have experienced an explosion in popularity, including one game known as Mines of Dalarnia.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game Mines of Dalarnia

What is Mines of Dalarnia?

Mines of Dalarnia is a free-to-play 2D action adventure game that runs on the Chromia blockchain.

It involves guiding a character through various levels to collect rare relics and artefacts you can use to upgrade your gear and uncover the secrets of Dalarnia.

As the name implies, mining is a huge component of the gameplay experience.

Players mine for resources in different terrains, uncover secrets, and collect materials for upgrading their mining equipment and character attributes. 

The game, which was developed by Workinman Interactive and Chromia Studios, features a variety of regions for players to explore that are sorted into four core types: Ice, Darkness, Lava, and Terra.

In addition to mining for minerals and resources, players also have to fight monsters to obtain rare and valuable items and advance through the game. 


How does Mines of Dalarnia work?

Mines of Dalarnia is a browser-based game, meaning anyone can access it with no download necessary.

Players must try to find hidden minerals and resources – the types of resources hidden under a particular region differ, depending on the type of terrain.

All mines contain enemies that players have to fight. The enemies grow stronger as you progress in the game and go deeper into the world of Dalarnia.

The types of enemies you face will vary, depending on the region, so players must learn to adapt to enemies with specific attacks and properties.

In addition to mining, players have the option to become landowners by buying parcels of blockchain real estate.

Players who become landowners are responsible for growing the economy and can earn a variety of rewards, including rental fees from miners, mineral airdrops, token giveaways, and more. 

How to earn money in Mines of Dalarnia?

Mines of Dalarnia has its own native token, DAR, which is the default currency of the world of Dalarnia.

The token was launched in November 2021 as part of the Binance Smart Chain, and is available on various cryptocurrency exchanges.

As of December 2021, 123.2 million DAR (15.4% of maximum token supply) was already in circulation.

The types of resources you find while playing will vary from basic to exotic, with the more exotic resources and rare relics and artefacts being used to advance equipment and plot upgrades. 

To play the game, players must first purchase the starter pack, which includes oxygen supplies and a basic pickaxe.

Different terrains require various types of equipment to keep players alive, so players must adapt by using resources to upgrade their equipment and develop mining strategies if they want to do well in the game.

Since Mines of Dalarnia is a play-to-earn game, players can also win tokens in multiple ways: completing in-game quests, inviting friends to play, or winning competitions to acquire DAR tokens. Additionally, landowners can earn a fee by renting their properties out to miners to explore.

All items, relics and artifacts found in the game are represented by non-fungible tokens(NFTs) and can be traded on open markets.

Players have the option to trade or sell items they don’t need on the in-game marketplace.

Those who don’t have the patience to find specific resources can use the marketplace to buy or rent items they require to progress in the game.
