Gather ‘round the stream, Otters!
Season 1 of the Raking for Rarity competition is in the books — what an exciting way to kick off the Ottopian games, and the first of many to come!
Top spots changed hands at the 11th hour. CLAM prizes were distributed to hundreds of Ottos vying for the grand prize. The top ranked Ottos received prizes worth hundreds of dollars at current CLAM prices. It was quite a fight!
If you missed out, don’t worry! Season 2 of the Rarity Competition is here and we’ve added another layer to the contest — theme systems and a new bonus mechanism.
Each 2-week epoch will have a different theme, and each theme will have two to three specific item labels that will entitle an item with one or more themed labels to a rarity boost. Item labels can be found when viewing the item in the “My Items” section of the Ottopia app. As long as the player wears an item with a theme-specific label, the player will receive a rarity boost to their Otto NFT.
Here is how the theme rarity boosts are calculated:
- If the item has one theme-specific label, +60 boost
- If the item has two theme-specific labels,+120 boost
- If the item has three theme-specific labels, +180 boost
After adding the scores above, there will be a “set bonus” multiplier added if the Otto is wearing multiple items with a theme-specific label:
- One item with theme-specific labels = x1 multiplier boost
- Two items with theme-specific labels = x1.5 multiplier boost
- Three items with theme-specific labels = x1.7 multiplier boost
- Four items with theme-specific labels = x2 multiplier boost
- Five items with theme-specific labels = x2.5 multiplier boost
For example, in the image below we see if an Otto is wearing five items, two of which match one label and one item that matches two labels at the same time, the BRS bonus would be calculated as (60+60+120)*1.7 = 408
In the image below, notice that the rarity of the item itself is still calculated. The final rarity score = Original rarity score (RRS+BRS) + 408 (Extra BRS)
With the new theme system, competitors have even more ways to climb to the top of the rarity leaderboard, and claim those juicy CLAM prizes. You won’t want to miss out!
If you haven’t already minted an Otto NFT from our Genesis Collection, you can do so at the Ottopia App. For more information about the competition and the OtterClam protocol in general, please swim down to our Discord and say hello!
Until then, OGMI
