Welcome to the official beginner's guide for Apeiron! As we enter the exciting second season of the game, we extend a warm welcome to new players joining our community. This guide aims to provide valuable insights and help newcomers dive right into the world of Apeiron.!

Let's begin by exploring what Apeiron is all about:

1. Introduction to Apeiron

Apeiron stands as the pioneering fusion of a God Game and an eSports franchise. Blending elements from card battlers, roguelikes, and massively multiplayer online games, Apeiron offers a unique and immersive gaming experience.

In Apeiron, players assume the role of godlings, newborn "wandering gods" summoned from the infinite beyond by the High Goddess Cosmos. She seeks reinforcements in her battle against the mad High God Chaos and his corruptive Taint. As a godling, your responsibility is to rule over a Planet of Doods—adorable, chicken-like creatures in need of your guidance.

With the power to control your world's Avatar, a colossal construct, you can embark on dungeon explorations and unravel the mysteries of the godiverse. Along the way, you will acquire unique skills, recruit heroic Dood Apostles, and ascend to the Hourglass Coliseum for intense ritual combat against fellow godlings.

To participate in Apeiron, you require a Planet NFT (Non-Fungible Token), which serves as the primary gameplay element. Let's delve deeper into the mechanics of Planets:

2. Planets

Planets serve as the gateway to gameplay within Apeiron. These NFTs form the backdrop for the god game simulation and dungeon delving experiences. To begin playing, you can either purchase a Planet from our Marketplace or opt for a scholarship, granting you a rented Planet and enabling you to play for free. In the case of a rented Planet, a portion of the tokens you earn will go to the Planet's owner.

Planets possess diverse elemental distributions, influencing the type of Avatar available to you. The game features four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. For a well-rounded gameplay experience encompassing all aspects, a Normal Planet—combining all four elements—is recommended.

However, competitive players or those seeking endgame content may prefer Planets with higher elemental concentrations. Tri-element, duo-element, or even mono-element Planets grant Avatars access to more potent Skills.

Through Celestial Conjunction—a ritual involving two Planets—you can "breed" your Planets. This process merges the spiritual essence of two Planets to produce a third, allowing you to create your ideal world.

Furthermore, Planets age over time, gaining strength as they mature. Older Planets unlock additional Relic slots—items and equipment providing powerful bonuses. Although Planets age gradually, Stars play a significant role in accelerating the process.

3. Stars

Star NFTs expedite the aging of your Planets, facilitating the swift unlocking of Relic slots. Each Star features multiple Orbital Tracks, where you can position your Planets to benefit from the aging boost. Unused Tracks can be shared with friends' Planets or rented out, generating passive income.

In addition to aiding Planet aging and offering Orbital Tracks, Stars increase the player limit for your Alliance. They serve as the foundation for Alliance building. Completing a Constellation—owning every Star within it as part of your Alliance—awards additional passive bonuses, enhancing your Apeiron gameplay even further.

We are currently preparing for the Sacred Star Presale, where Stars will be available for purchase. For detailed information, please refer to our articles or visit our Discord server.

4. Getting Started on our Discord

Our Discord server serves as a vibrant hub for the Apeiron community. Joining it grants you access to exciting events, allows you to meet fellow enthusiasts, and prepares you for the game's launch. Here are some tips to maximize your Discord experience:

• Engage in conversations until you reach chat level 3. The General channel primarily uses English, but we offer numerous language-specific channels.
• Once you attain chat level 3, explore the #active-events channel for enticing events. Participating in these events rewards you with various prizes, including Planets.
• Upon reaching chat level 5, embark on your alignment journey through #doodiquests. These daily missions present moral choices between good and evil. By progressing in either direction, you unlock exclusive channels hosting specially curated events with even greater rewards. Completing Doodiquests also earns you Souls, exchangeable at our Discord's Soul Shops for valuable Apeiron items.
• These basic steps will position you favorably for the game's launch. However, if your passion for Apeiron drives you further, consider becoming a DADI—a community leader who collaborates closely with us. DADIs receive a special currency called "Sugar," which can be exchanged monthly for NFTs or even USDC.

5. Wrap-up

In summary, let's distill the key points:

• To start playing Apeiron, acquire a Planet.
• For early access and supporter benefits, consider obtaining a Primeval Planet, one of the first Planet NFTs available on the Marketplace.
• Invest in Apeiron by purchasing multiple Planets and engaging in breeding to create a profitable Planet farm. Selling and renting Planets to new players enables you to earn tokens.
• If you prefer an investment approach with minimal involvement, acquire a Star and generate passive income by renting out Orbital Tracks.
• If you're a passionate fan without investment intentions, join our Discord server and participate in events for opportunities to win Planets directly.
• For avid Apeiron enthusiasts, engage in a combination of the above options or pursue all available avenues. Become an entrepreneur and establish your empire as an Apeiron partner.
