TJFinally, JobTribes scholarship come!
JobTribes’ scholarship is a system that allows to rent out cards (NFT-enhanced amulets) for free and share the rewards earned in the game with the owner.
The person who rents the NFT card is called the owner, and the person who borrows it is called the scalar.
At the same time as the JobTribes scholar system starts, an NFT quest is newly established.
And owners can earn rewards by having the scholars proceed with the quest.
In this article, we will explain the rules of Job Tribes scholarship, how to get started, and the reward amount of the quest.
TJI own some NFTs and rent them out to scholars, so I’m earning money!
LGG (LCA Game Guild) has more than 100 owners like me, and many top players are also enrolled .
We will show you the efficient earning method and results that we have verified with the LGG members, so please have a look until the end.
You can catch up the latest articles and event information in our Discord, so please join us.
This article is based on the officially announced content and is explained in an easy-to-understand manner by “P2E Hacks”.
Not all of information have been explained because some of them have not been announced yet.
Possibilities and Prospects of DEAP coin
Before starting the explanation of scholarship, let me tell you about the possibilities and prospects of DEAP coin (DEP).
The price of DEP has skyrocketed due to the announcement of the scholarship, but it may also rise due to the game tokens issued in each game and the Metaverse development (PlayMining Verse).
See this note(written in Japanese) for a more detailed explanation.
TJLet me briefly explain why we are thinking so.
Issuance of Game Tokens
JobTribes is one of the games on the PlayMining platform, and many more games will be released in the future.
Currently released / planned game titles include:
・ JobTribes (Card game)
・PlayMining x Puzzle (Puzzle game)
・ Lucky Farmer (Coin pusher game)
・ Cookin’Burger! (Multitask cooking game)
・ Graffiti Racer (Coloring book & Racing game)
As these games become more popular, DEA(PlayMining management team) may issue new game tokens.
TJI guess that this game token will be distributed free of charge to those who have been playing the game from the beginning and who have lived up the game.
As games on the PlayMining platform become more popular, DEP will be the focus of attention as a related cryptocurrency.
PlayMining Verse
TJAnother highlight is the Metaverse concept.
JobTribes’ white paper from DEA describes the Metaverse initiative (PlayMining Verse).
In PlayMining Verse, you can become a citizen of the country created by the creator by purchasing the LAND (land on the Metaverse).
And various events would be held in each country, and you can create your own community.
TJYou will have an unprecedented common experience in which creators and LAND purchasers work together to create a country.
Of course, there are many people who want to become a citizen of the country created by a famous artist, so I think that the DEP price may rise along with the price of LAND.
TJWe tend to focus on scholarships, but I also see great potential in DEP itself.
As I was writing this article, I wanted to buy more DEP …
Basic Knowledge to Start a Job Tribes Scholarship
TJFrom here, I will explain about Job Tribes’ scholarship.
How much is the Initial Cost for starting an Owner?
To start a JobTribes scholarship as an owner, you need to have at least 6 NFT cards of the same rarity.
Unlike in-game cards, NFT cards can only be purchased from the NFT Marketplace by DEP .
There are four types of NFT card classes, COMMON, RARE, EPIC, and LEGENDARY.
But only three types, RARE, EPIC, and LEGENDARY, can be used for scholarship.
And the quests starting on the same day (December 14, 2021) are set for each of RARE, EPIC, and LEGENDARY.
In order to prepare 6 types of each, you need to purchase an NFT card.
・ RARE: 12,000DEP x 6 types = 72,000DEP = $2,880
・ EPIC: 60,000DEP x 6 types = 360,000DEP = $14,400
・ LEGENDARY: 360,000DEP x 6 types = 2,160,000DEP = $86,400
* The price of DEP is calculated at 1DEP = $0.04 as of the end of November 2021.
TJThe initial cost is quite high, but you will earn game rewards by rending.
So depending on the rewards you get and the value of the DEP, you may be able to recover them quickly.
The number of DEPs you can earn for each quest is set for each class and may change from season to season.
How long is NFT Quest Season 2? What about Rewards?
The information about NFT season 2 starting form Feb. 1 is below.
- If you clear the NFT quest, you can get a higher DEAP coin (DEP) than usual.
- You can challenge in case you have 6 types of NFT with the same rarity.
- There are three types of NFT quests: RARE, EPIC, and LEGENDARY.
- Each stage of each quest can only be challenged once a day (15 stages in total).
- Even if you lose the quest, it will not be counted as one time, and you can challenge as many times as you want as long as your stamina continues.
- As the stage progresses, the difficulty and the reward increases.
- NFT quests have a holding period (season).
- LEGENDARY Quest：3,350 DEP
- EPIC Quest：500 DEP
- RAER Quest：148 DEP
It is the total when you won all 15 stages. It’s not always possible to get it, but you can challenge it as long as your stamina continues.
- LEGENDARY Quest：22 months
- EPIC Quest：24 months
- RAER Quest：16 months
* This calculation is in the case of earning the maximum DEP.
About Limit-break(Promotion) Items
Limit-break items also started on sale from December 14th.
It item is what you can limit-break by charging without collection numbers of amulets by recruiting.
There are a total of 24 types, 6 types of attributes and 4 types of rarity.
You will need to collect the required number of items (1-3) of the same attribute/rarity as the amulet you want to lomit-break.
You can limit-break once by consuming items.
Limit-break item is sold in packs of 3 pieces by rarity.
Which attributes you can get is decided randomly.
You can choose the rarity, but you can’t choose attribute, so you can’t intentionally strengthen a particular amulet.
In addition, you will need as many amulets as you need. (e.g. 40Lv → 50Lv, 3 items are required.)
TJThe attributes contain is random, and this specification is quite strict.
If you want to limit-break, it seems better to steadily put out an amulet by recruiting.
- Legendary pack：15,000DEP
- Epic pack：3,000DEP
- Rare pack：1,000DEP
- Common pack：200DEP
About Training Items
Training items are started on sale from 25th January.
It item is what you can level-up amulets by charging without collection numbers of sand/materials.
There are a total of 24 types, 6 types of attributes and 4 types of rarity.
You can level-up your amulet until the maximum by consuming 1 item which has the same attribute/rarity as amulet.(e.g. 0 times limit-break → level up to Lv.20, 3 times limit-break → level up to Lv.50, )
Training item is also sold in packs of 3 pieces by rarity and attribution included is random.
You can choose the rarity, but you can’t choose attribute, so you can’t intentionally strengthen a particular amulet.
You need collect amulets by recruiting or purchase limit-break item for limit-break.
TJThe attribution is decided randomly same as limit-break item.
I think you need’t purchase this item because price is set expensive.
You can training by playing game steady.
- Legendary pack：60,000DEP
- Epic pack：12,500DEP
- Rare pack：4,500DEP
- Common pack：800DEP

Let’s understand exactly! Scholarship Rules
The rules for scholarship are as follows:
TJThere are a lot of important rules, so let’s learn the rules before you start!
- NFT holders can rent NFT-enhanced amulets to other players.
- Owners cannot rent the same amulet to the same scholar.
- If the owner has multiple same NFTs, it is possible to specify the number of NFTs to rent.
- The rented amulet cannot be used by the owner (it cannot be listed on the NFT Marketplace by DEP).
- Even if the scholar has the same NFT as the one borrowed from the owner, the scholar’s amulet will not be strengthened.
- Rewards earned by scholar while the owner is renting an NFT will be placed in the owner’s present box (reward distribution needs to be discussed with scholar).
- Owner can have multiple scholars.
- Scholar can only have one owner (NFTs cannot be borrowed from multiple owners).
- Right after strating scholarship, scholar cant’t train/limit-break amulet borrowed from owner.
→Training/limit-breaking amulets by scholar has been implemented. - An owner can cancel scholarship（reflect 0:00(UTC) 3 days later）
→Scholar also cancel scholarship after 7 days/3 days later owner’s approval
I will explain one by one.
① NFT holders can lend NFT-enhanced amulets to other players
In JobTribes, you usually battle using cards (= amulets) acquired by recruiting.
JobTribes has an NFT that you can buy with money, apart from this amulet.
This NFT has the same shape as an amulet, and the status of the same type of amulet you have will increase according to the number of purchases.
However, the maximum number of cards that can be enhanced by purchasing an amulet is 5.
Scholarships can only be rented with this NFT-enhanced amulet.
Therefore, amulets without NFTs acquired through recruiting cannot be rented.
[Caution] You can’t just have an NFT to rent out
It’s important to note that purchasing 5 NFTs doesn’t mean you can rent them out to 5 people.
In order to lend them to scholars, you need get additional amulets by recruiting.
You can get one amulet at the same time when you purchase NFT for the first time, but the amulet will not be attached to the second and subsequent purchases of NFT.
In order to lend the NFT to 5 people, you have to get additional 4 amulets by recruiting.
TJIf you don’t have an NFT, you’ll have to spend some money to buy one.
② The Owner cannot rent the same Amulet to the same Scholar.
You can get many amulets as you want by recruiting.
By acquiring multiple cards, you can unlock the skill of the amulet and raise the upper limit of the level by limit-breake.
- The initial maximum level of the amulet is 20, and the maximum level by limit-breake is 50.
- You need another amulet to raise the maximum level from 20 to 30. The second skill is released.
- You need two more amulets to raise the maximum level from 30 to 40. The third skill is released.
- You need 3 more amulets to raise the maximum level from 40 to 50. No more skills will be added.
In other words, in order to maximize the potential of the amulet, it is necessary to collect a total of 6 amulets.
However, the amulet that you wanted did not come out in many cases.
And there were times when multiple amulets that I did not need were duplicated, so there was no way to use it.
However, in this scholarship, you can lend the surplus amulet to multiple people if you have multiple NFTs.
But it is not possible to rent multiple amulets of the same type to 1 scholar .
③ If the Owner has multiple same NFTs, it is possible to specify the Number of NFTs to lend
The owner can specify the number of NFTs rented out.
For example, you can specify number of 1 to 5 how many NFTs rent out to your scholar if you have 5 “Crab Fisherman” NFTs.
As shown in the figure, the owner can freely specify 3 NFTs for scholar ① and 2 NFTs for scholar ②.
You can lend Lv.50 “Crab Fisherman” with 3 NFTs for scholar ① and Lv.30 “Crab Fisherman” with 2 NFTs for scholar ②.
However, the enemy is powerful in high difficulty quests and you can not win unless you increase the number of NFTs and strengthen the amulet.
On the other hand, if you lend all the same type of NFT to 1 person, the amulet will be stronger.
But the number of scholars you can hire will decrease, and your income may decrease.
In order to maximize profits, how many people should be lent out according to the difficulty level of the quest?.
It is important to consider the balance.
TJOriginally, it would be necessary to take a long time to verify by yourself, but LGG verified how to earn efficiently with NFT quests.
The results will be showed later.
④ The rented Amulet cannot be used by the Owner (it cannot be listed on the NFT Marketplace by DEP).
Amulets lent to scholar cannot be used by owner for the period of renting.
Also, of course, the owner can’t sell (list) on the NFT Marketplace.
If you want to win a PvP ranking battle, you should leave a strong amulet for yourself instead of lending it to scholar.
PvP is a psychological warfare unlike PvE in quests.
If you ask scholar to participate in PvP, it will be a treasure trove if you do not adopt it carefully.
TJWho do you give a good amulet to? Is also an important factor in maximizing your earnings.
⑤ Even if the Scholar has the same NFT as borrowed one, the Amulet of the Scholar will not be strengthened.
If the scholar already has the same NFT as the owner lends, the status on the scholar side will not increase.
For example, if a scholar has two “Crab Fishermen” NFTs, and the owner rents one “Crab Fisherman” NFT, the scholar NFTs will not be counted as three.
For the amulet lent by the owner, it will be the amount of status enhancement for one card.
Scholar wants to team up with an owner who has 2 to 3 NFTs of the same type, but that doesn’t make sense.
On the other hand, it is more efficient for owners to look for scholars that who has different NFT.
⑥ The Rewards earned by Scholar during the the Owner rents the NFT will go into the Owner’s Present Box.
All scholarship rewards (DEAP check: DEAP coin voucher) will go to the owner once without entering the scholar side.
TJPayday, lottery, and PvP prizes are all included in the owner’s side.
From there, the owner pays the scholar a share. (A fee will be charged)
It’s easiest to send money from the owner’s PlayMining Wallet to a scholar PlayMining Wallet, but you can also send money to an external wallet.
In that case, it is necessary to send money from the owner’s PlayMining Wallet to the owner’s external wallet (MetaMask etc.) and then to the scholar’s external wallet.
However, there is currently no merit on the owner side to do this because it costs extra fees.
⑦ Owner can have multiple Scholars
Owners can hire multiple scholars.
Therefore, if you have a lot of NFTs to rent, you can hire many scholars.
TJIf you have a lot of money, you may be able to buy a lot of NFTs and hire a lot of scholars to live on scholarship rewards.
In fact, some LGG member have quit their job.
⑧ Scholar can only have 1 Owner
Unlike the owner, the scholar cannot have multiple owner.
You might think that having two scholarships would double your income, but that’s not possible.
Therefore, from the perspective of scholars, “who will be the owner?” is the lifeline .
Then, “Can the owner rent out a more attractive amulet?” will determine whether you can hire a good scholar.
TJScholar is only a contract with one owner.
Two-timing is prohibited!
【Changed】⑨Scholar can’t Train/Limit-break Amulet.
With the update in Jan. 29, 2022, it’s became possible to training/limit-break amulets in scholar side.
TJFor scholars, who doesn’t have any NFTs that having many training items/materials would be a big appeal point.
⑩ Owner can cancel the Scholarship at any time
The owner can cancel scholarship at any time, and it is reflected at 0:00(UTC) 3 days later.
The scholar also can cancel scholarship 0:00(UTC) 3 days later if the owner accepted an application.
Even if the owner does not approve, the scholarship will be forcibly canceled 7 days after the application.
TJIt’s an equal relationship with each other’s veto rights.
The relationship of trust between the owner and the scholar is also important.
In a scholarship, the owner and the scholar will contract directly.
You should discuss quotas and prohibitions as well as rewards.
How to start a Scholarship
Next, I will tell you how to actually start scholarship.
The procedure is different for the owner who rents the NFT and the scholar who borrow it.
I will explain each separately.
How to get started as an Owner
First, I will explain how to be an owner.
- Buy NFTs on the marketplace.
- Search for scholars on PlayMining official discord or Twitter.
- Select [Become Owner] on the game.
- Enter the Scholar’s PlayMining ID.
- Specify the number of amulets and NFTs to rent.
- Enter the Play Mining ID in the scholar side.
- Scholarship starts.
It is necessary to exchange various conditions such as rewards individually.
TJAfter that, scholar will play the game and the rewards they earn will be put in your present box, so let’s share it with scholar at a predetermined reward ratio.
The owner must pay for the scholar.
This ID is required to use the services provided by Digital Entertainment Asset Pte. Ltd.
You can check it from “My Page> Profile” of NFT Marketplace by DEP (https://daa.playmining.com/).
How to start a Scholarship as a Scholar
Next, I will explain how to start a scholarship on the scholarship side.
- Find an owner on PlayMining official discord or Twitter.
- Select [Become Scholar] on the game.
- Enter the owner’s PlayMining ID.
- Play the game.
It is necessary to exchange various conditions such as rewards individually.
After this, let’s get paid according to the reward ratio decided in advance with the owner.
With NFT quests, you can get a higher amount of DEAP coins than regular quests.
Those who will be doing Job Tribes from now on should be able to earn more efficiently by borrowing a strong amulet from the owner.
TJWe believe that NFT quests will be the driving force for accelerating scholarships.
[Unveiling!] Return on Investment of NFT quest
Now, let me tell you about the return on investment of NFT quests collected by LGG members, which you will most want to know.
※The above values are for Season 1. Since the number of DEPs we can earn in Season 2 has been reduced, please calculate 50% for LEGENDARY, 60% for EPIC, and 87% for RARE.
Our research showed that, assuming the price of DEP is fixed at $0.04, we’re getting almost 25% per annum!
TJOf course, how much DEPs you can earn is depending on the NFTs you have and your understanding of the game, but a 25% yield is tremendous…!
[For Owners] Tips for Improving the Return on Investment
Next, I would like to share with you some tips for improving the return on investment for owners.
Judging from the data collected by LGG members introduced earlier, the following can be seen.
- It is most efficient to set deck of Lv.20 for 1 NFT x 6 types.
- Disperse NFTs as much as possible to increase the number of decks that can participate in quests
- Steadily aim for Lv.50 by recruiting and Limit-break items.
→For Legendary quests, the difference between Lv.20 and Lv.50 is $900 per month.
TJIt is quite important to raise level to 50 (≈ limit break), and you will not be able to earn efficiently just spending money.
In order to reach level 50, you need to recruit many times or charge for limit-break items.
But since both of them are random, so you cannot raise the level of a specific amulet.
The owners who currently have many Lv.50 amulets are those who have been playing games for long time.
The real thrill of GameFi is that it’s a reward system that makes it easy for users who have purchase NFTs and steadily raised their level while hoping for the development of JobTribes.
TJIn addition, JobTribes has the following features compared to other games.
This game is recommended for those who want to increase the investment amount.
- It is difficult to increase the number of scholars even if the investment amount became large.
- Easy to play and low education cost (= easy to manage).
- It doesn’t take long to play the game (about 15 minutes a day).
[For Scholars] How to meet a good Owner
TJI want to try an NFT quest, but I’m giving up because I don’t have enough money…
Wait! It’s too early!
Even if you can’t become an owner, you can earn a lot of DEP even if you play as a scholar.
For example, if we divide the Legendary Quest reward (6 NFTs, all Lv.1) between 70% owner and 30% scholar, you can earn $350 per month.
※The above values are for Season 1. Since the number of DEPs we can earn in Season 2 has been reduced, please calculate 50% for LEGENDARY, 60% for EPIC, and 87% for RARE.
TJBut you can’t be a scholar just waiting!
If you are not an attractive player from the owner’s point of view, chances will not come.
So, you should always keep in mind the following and prepare to seize the opportunity in front of you.
- Find an owner with a high level amulet with multiple NFTs stacked.
- If you have several NFTs yourself, it’s easy to match with the owner.
→ Few people have 6 types of NFTs. - Play more than NFT quest every day to collect training materials/elixir.
→Because it’s now possible to train in scholar side.
Summary
In this article, I explained about JobTribes’ scholarship system.
TJScholarships are a great mechanism for both owners and scholars!
I am looking forward to what will happen in the future.
