The Officially Definitive Guide to EGG Incubation (First Edition)
Philippe’s foreword:
Welcome dear reader to the “First Edition of the Officially Definitive Guide to EGG Incubation”. After a lot of mucking about with EGGs and Incubators with my fellow VIMs of all tiers, I decided to commission this guide to ensure that everyone in VIMworld has a brilliant and enjoyable time while unlocking the mysteries of EGGs and interacting with our new Companions. As more information comes to light, we will endeavor to publish updates to this guide. I’ve added all I’ve learned so far, but I need your help. Please, friends, dive right in and don’t forget to share what you find out with me and everyone else in VIMworld!
Sincerely yours,
Mayor Philippe Diamant Esq.
The Officially Definitive Guide to EGG Incubation (First Edition)
- The Basics
Firstly, acquaint yourself with GrOwl’s Notes on Incubators. To incubate an EGG, you require the binding of one Incubator, one EGG, and one VIM. Each VIM or incubator can only bind with one EGG at a time. VIMs that are in the process of incubating can still Feed and Feast, but can’t do anything else, including using any proactive Companions that may be attached. After the incubation, all the parts are separated and you even keep the EGG in a hatched state.
- Initiating the Incubation
To start incubating, navigate to the My NFTs section, and select an Incubator. From the Incubator page, you click “Start Incubating” to begin the process. From here, you’ll be prompted to add an EGG and a VIM. Once everything is selected, you need to choose which currency (VEED or POWA) to pay the fuel cost in. When you click ‘Start Incubation on this page, there will be a number of prompts to sign your wallet. Once done, you’ll be able to see the ongoing incubation from the involved VIM, EGG, or Incubators’ page. You can also see all your Incubations from the Incubation Dashboard tab.
- Boosting
If you are finding the waiting too much, and need to see your new Companion as soon as possible, then maybe it’s time to boost. When viewing your Incubation in progress, there are two boost options available- small boost and big boost. After the 50% mark of your incubation, then the big boost is no longer available. Boosting can be paid for in POWA, VEED, or BNB tokens. When viewing the incubation from the Incubator’s My NFTs screen, you can cancel your incubation in progress by clicking the three dots next to “Incubation”. This will return all NFTs to their pre-incubation state, except that a use will have been consumed from the Incubator.
- Hatching
Once the incubation is over, hatching is a fun and easy process. From the Incubator’s My NFTs page, you will be prompted to Hatch your EGG. Clicking this button will bring you to a screen confirming your Incubation details. From here you will sign a transaction with your wallet. Sit back and enjoy the show as your EGG hatches! Afterwards your NFTs will be returned to their normal state in your My NFTs section. Your EGG will now read ‘Hatched’ indicating that it has already hatched a Companion, but you can still keep it as a souvenir. Caution! Be extra careful not to mistakenly buy a hatched EGG on the Marketplace.
- Companions
Companions can be attached to your VIMs and bring many different benefits. Each VIM may attach up to 8 different Companions at a time. There are two different broad categories of Companions: proactive and passive. Proactive Companions require the user to activate their ability when they are attached to a VIM (e.g. collect a one-time VEED reward). Passive Companions apply their benefit to the attached VIM without needing to be activated (e.g. increase incubation speed of the attached VIM). Similar to other VIMworld NFTs, companions can be transferred to other wallets from the My NFTs section. Linking and unlinking Companions with VIMs is done from a VIM’s My NFTs page. You can keep track of all the revealed Companions in the VIMstudy.
