Welcome to Big Time's Economy Overview.

## Our Cosmetic Based Economy

Free-to-Play cosmetic based economy compared to Big Time's Economy Structure.

At Big Time, one of our main design pillars is fair play, which is why we built our economy to be a “Cosmetic Based Economy”\ \ For comparison, in a typical free-to-play cosmetic economy, something such as League of Legends, Fortnite, or Valorant, the game studio would sell skins directly to the players. At Big Time, instead, we empower our players by giving them the ability to craft cosmetics and letting them control the creation and selling of cosmetics in the game. By enabling them to do that, we are inviting them to be deeply rooted in our business model. The way it works is that we create the 3D models, and then list the recipes for players to craft. ## Our Special Cosmetic Collectibles

Special perks about our Cosmetic Collectibles.

Our Cosmetics look awesome and they convey status and uniqueness. Our game is a multiplayer Action-RPG which makes it an excellent canvas to show off your unique Possessions. All our Cosmetics are **Digital Collectibles** with a limited and immutable supply, meaning any given line of cosmetics will have a fixed number of copies, and that number will never change. Our [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) will also be player-owned, meaning that players will always have the ability to trade or sell them whether on [**Open Loot**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/www.openloot.com) or outside our platforms. Lastly, Owning [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) would give players access to exclusive areas in the game, which could take the form of an exclusive lounge or a portal that has different non-power-related loot tables. ## Crafting Collectibles

SPACE, Utility NFTs and Crafting.

Players can participate in the crafting economy by acquiring [**SPACE**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/space) and a [**Utility Collectible**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) such as an [**Armory**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/armories), [**Forge**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/forges), or [**Time Warden**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/time-wardens). [**SPACE**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/space) is Big Time’s version of digital land, and [**Utility Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) are the factories that enable the crafting of [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) and [**Hourglasses**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses). ## $BIGTIME Token Design [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) is a fair launch token with no allocation to the team or investors. The primary way to get [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) will be through in-game drops. [**Hourglasses**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses) are **limited supply** artifacts that, once equipped, would allow the player to start generating [**$BIGTIME Tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) while playing the game.

Supply & Demand Dynamics of $BIGTIME Token depending on our player base.

[**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) is a cryptocurrency that acts as the glue of our economy. Since [**Hourglasses**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses) are limited in supply, only a **fixed number** of players can equip them at any given moment, regardless of the number of active players. On the other hand, [**$BIGTIME tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) can be spent by any player, meaning the potential sinks for [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) in the economy are **limited only by the number of players in our game**. The dynamic that emerges from these two systems is that if the **player base grows**, the supply of [**$BIGTIME tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) **is capped** and won’t ever change, but the **sinks of** [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) **will keep growing** as the player base grows. ## The Value Chain of Big Time's Economy To summarize it all, Big Time's Economy Value Chain in Action looks like this:

Big Time's Value Chain In Action.

Now to bring it all together, our value chain would look something like this: 1. [**Time wardens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/time-wardens) would craft [**Hourglasses**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses). 2. [**Hourglasses**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses) are required by our [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) suppliers who would equip them and start generating [**$BIGTIME tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens). 3. [**$BIGTIME tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) are required by our [**Armory**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/armories) and [**Forge**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/forges) owners, who need them to craft [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles). 4. [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) then would be listed on our marketplace for all our non-[**Utility Collectible**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) owners to buy. In a nutshell, that's how our game economy would work. # FAQ {% content-ref url="/pages/TUtzXKEMAlG7v1etUs7Y" %} [How Do I Obtain Digital Collectibles?](/big-time-economy/faq/how-do-i-obtain-digital-collectibles) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/d4rZcMjaEzuRfsr9QR7f" %} [How Is Big Time Different From Other Web3 Games?](/big-time-economy/faq/how-is-big-time-different-from-other-web3-games) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/Gar8vXbS66QcwwSCllLG" %} [How is Early Access Launch Different From the Final Economy?](/big-time-economy/faq/how-is-early-access-launch-different-from-the-final-economy) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/Zi5mO6y5zYoA3iMTGx86" %} [How Do Cosmetic Collectible Crafters Participate In The Economy?](/big-time-economy/faq/how-do-cosmetic-collectible-crafters-participate-in-the-economy) {% endcontent-ref %} # How Do I Obtain Digital Collectibles?

Unlike other Web3 games, Big Time’s primary goal is to create the most enjoyable game possible, resulting in: ## True AAA Gaming Experience Big Time is built with the intention to **compete with the top games** out there, **not only web3**. Our team consists of **gaming veterans** from top **gaming companies.** ## Highly Accessible Big Time is **Free-to-Play** and requires **No Collectibles** to be played. We are also using **Open Loot**, a platform that breaks all the **complexity hurdles of web3** when it comes to onboarding, buying, and selling Collectibles. ## Durable Game Economy Our Game Economy is **Transparent, Simple, and Realistic**. We carefully constructed Big Time's Economy to be **Sustainable** and **Durable.** That can be seen in our tokenomics and economy systems designs, which are explained in depth within this Wiki. # How is Early Access Launch Different From the Final Economy? Big Time is currently in Early Access Launch. It is important to note that the current economy is not representative of Big Time’s final form. The table below highlights the planned differences between Big Time's Early Access Launch economy and what will be Big Time's final economy.

Early Access vs. Open Beta.

**Note:** Players will have access to their Personal Metaverse before the open invite beta is live. In addition, the [**Non-Craftable Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles/non-craftable-cosmetic-collectibles) currently dropping in the Early Access Launch will not drop after the conclusion of the Early Access Period. These particular [**Non-Craftable Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles/non-craftable-cosmetic-collectibles) will have unique "Fashion" tags, which will never drop again. In the Open Invite Beta and beyond, the only source of these collectibles will be from Early Access players. # How Do Cosmetic Collectible Crafters Participate In The Economy?

Big Time's Economy Value Chain.

To become a [**Cosmetic Collectible**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) crafter, a player must acquire [**SPACE**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/space) and either an [**Armory**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/armories) or a [**Forge**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/forges). After connecting their [**Armory**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/armories) or [**Forge**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/forges) to their [**SPACE**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/space)**,** the player can craft and upgrade [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) by using the required crafting materials. Once a player finishes crafting their collectible, they can list it for sale on the [**Open Loot Marketplace**](https://openloot.com/explore). # Economy Components {% content-ref url="/pages/JMat4K5ZrxSE1HPrMmT4" %} [Personal Metaverse](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/QEoaycwtq1EsQFYaPO6U" %} [Hourglasses](/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/8Xa8latrhf4h49HQbeLL" %} [Resources](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/Wh766gcFXgFDaehgV550" %} [Cosmetic Collectibles](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) {% endcontent-ref %} # Personal Metaverse Each player will have access to their own **Personal Metaverse**. It is accessible anytime, anywhere, and comes with a [**Starter Area**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/starter-area). Inside the **Personal Metaverse**, players can decorate, host friends, and augment their metaverse by attaching [**SPACE**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/space).

Personal Metaverse accessibility.

# Starter Area **Starter Areas** are the first point of connection in players' [**Personal Metaverse**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse). All players will have access to these starter areas, and they would be able to decorate them as well as place vendors and storage units within them.

Every player will have a Starter Area within their Personal Metaverse.

# SPACE **SPACE** are Big Time’s version of **Virtual Land**. **SPACE** enables players to expand their [**Personal Metaverse**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse) and connect [**Workshops**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops). ### **What SPACE Is Used For** * Expanding the [**Personal Metaverse**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse) * Connecting [**Workshops**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) (Forges, Armories & Time Wardens) * Placing [**Decoration Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles/decoration-collectables) * Hosting friends * Acquiring [**Cracked Hourglasses**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses/cracked-hourglasses) ### How to Acquire SPACE * Purchase from the [**Open Loot Marketplace**](https://openloot.com/) ### SPACE Maximum Issuance The issuance amounts in the table below are **immutable and** **will never change**.

SPACE Max Issuance by Rarity and Size.

### SPACE Entrances and Exits Within each **SPACE**, there is a **Single Entrance** and **Multiple Exits**. For players who want to connect their **SPACE** to their [**Personal Metaverse**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse)**,** they will need to use that **SPACE**'s **Entrance**.

Connecting a SPACE to your Personal Metaverse.

Players can connect multiple **SPACE** to one another to further expand their [**Personal Metaverse**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse).

Connecting multiple SPACE to one another.

To connect two **SPACE,** an **Entrance** needs to be attached to an **Exit**.

Connecting SPACE requires an Exit to be connected to an Entrance.

**Exits** are also used to connect [**Workshops**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) to the **SPACE**.

More Exits also means more Utility Collectibles that can be connected.

The number of **Exits** depends on the **SPACE** Rarity and size.

SPACE Size determines number of Exits.

### **SPACE Size and Rarity Benefits** **SPACE** comes in various **Rarities** and **Sizes**. Larger **SPACE** will allow players to connect more [**Workshops**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops), place more [**Decoration Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles/decoration-collectables)**,** and host more friends in their **SPACE**.

Exits by SPACE Rarity and Size.

**Higher Rarity** [**Workshops**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) are only attachable to **Higher Rarity** **SPACE**.

Eligibility of Utility Collectible attachment given a SPACE Rarity.

**Some Higher Rarity** [**Decoration Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles/decoration-collectables) are only attachable to **Higher Rarity** **SPACE,** and some may require certain sizes of SPACE (e.g. A giant Dinosaur Skeleton may require a Large SPACE).

Decoration Collectibles Attachment given SPACE Rarity.

**Higher Rarity** **SPACE** have a higher chance of dropping a **Higher Quality** [**Cracked Hourglass**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses/cracked-hourglasses) in them. On the other hand, **SPACE Sizes** determines the quantity of [**Cracked Hourglasses**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses/cracked-hourglasses) that can spawn in that **SPACE**. The larger the size, the higher the chance of getting more than one [**Cracked Hourglass**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses/cracked-hourglasses).

Cracked Hourglass Drop Rate Given SPACE Rarity.

### **“Unwrapping” SPACE** **SPACE** comes with a different internal configuration that determines: * The placement of area-specific features * The locations of the Exits * The theme of each SPACE (e.g. Egyptian, Arthurian, etc.) **SPACE** comes **“Wrapped”**. Players know the rarity and size of their wrapped **SPACE**, but do not know the internal configuration or theme until it is "**Unwrapped"**. Once a SPACE is unwrapped the internal configuration is **Permanent**. Players may sell wrapped or unwrapped **SPACE** on the [**Open Loot Marketplace**](https://openloot.com/explore?category=space)**.**

Process of unwrapping SPACE.

## SPACE Renting Renting assets is an important part of the Big Time economy and is facilitated through the Open Loot platform. For SPACE owners who aren't actively using their SPACE, renting provides a way to generate passive yield while making that utility available to other players. Key features of the Renting System: * Players with multiple **SPACEs** and [**Workshops**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) can lend their assets to others. * Players who do not own **SPACE** or [**Workshops**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) can still participate in the crafting system by renting them through the Open Loot platform. # Workshops **Workshops** connect to [**SPACE**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/space), enabling players to craft and upgrade [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) and [**Hourglasses**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses).

The three types of Utility Collectibles.

### Types Of Workshops * [**The Forge**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/forges)**:** Craft and upgrade Weapon Cosmetic Collectibles as well as refine Cosmetic Shards. * [**The Armory**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/armories)**:** Craft and upgrade Armor Cosmetic Collectibles as well as refine Cosmetic Shards. * [**The Time Warden**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/time-wardens)**:** Craft, upgrade, and recharge Hourglasses as well as Dismantle Cracked Hourglasses. ### How to Acquire Workshops * Purchase on the [**Open Loot Marketplace**](https://openloot.com/explore?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=229270919&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8KRGcOPLrtRHcJDRKk95K7dzsC3sZ4p6GlzUqwBVw9Hze3VsBmYWGEg0ukhpI-gEblTATavMsyTL6oQtoU0VR_dUjwUQ\&utm_content=229270919\&utm_source=hs_email\&category=space\&sort=price-asc) * Opening [**Workshop Mystery Boxes**](/big-time-economy/mystery-boxes) # Forges **Forges** are [**Workshops**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) that focus mostly on crafting and upgrading **Weapon** [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) as well as refining [**Cosmetic Shards**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/cosmetic-shards) into [**Refined** **Cosmetic Shards**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/cosmetic-shards/refined-cosmetic-shards).

Forge Actions Overview.

## **Forge Max Issuance, Rarity & Types**

Forges Max Issuance by Rarity and Type.

### **Max Issuances** The issuance amounts in the table above are **immutable and** **will never change**. ### **Rarity** **Forges** have ten rarity tiers: **Common** through **Unique**. A **Forge** can only Craft or Upgrade [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) equal to its rarity tier but with **Bonus Rolls**, they can craft up to two rarity tiers higher. ### **Types** There are ten types of **Forges**, each type has a **Specialization Bonus** and a **Collective**. | Forge Type | Collective | Specialization | | --------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------ | | Forge of Quickness | 🔴Light Hammer | 2-Hand Axe | | Forge of Rapidness | 🔴Light Hammer | 2-Hand Sword | | Forge of Swiftness | 🔴Light Hammer | Staves + Dual Wield | | Forge of Decisiveness | 🔵Steady Anvil | 2-Hand Hammer | | Forge of Diligence | 🔵Steady Anvil | 1-Hand Weapons | | Forge of Acuity | 🔵Steady Anvil | 2-Hand Axes & 2-Hand Swords | | Forge of Chance | 🟢Four-leaf Clover | Staves | | Forge of Luck | 🟢Four-leaf Clover | Dual Wield | | Forge of Fortune | 🟢Four-leaf Clover | 2-Hand Hammer & 1-Hand Weapons | | Forge of Triumph | 🌈Prismatic Radiance | All of the above | *Note: Weapons assigned to specialization are subject to change and are not finalized.* {% hint style="info" %} **New Weapons** Every time we introduce new weapon types to the game, we'll assign a specialization bonus to one of the existing Forge Types to incorporate them. {% endhint %} ### Specialization Each **Specialization** increases the **Crafting Speed** of a particular weapon piece. The **Specialization's** extra speed depends on the rarity, and generally, single specializations would have faster speed compared to multiple specializations with the exception of the Rainbow colors. ### Collective Each **Collective** will have a specific group bonus plus it would be used to unlock the [**Workshop Collective Set Bonus**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/workshop-collective-set-bonus) which looks into the [**Workshops**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) that are set up within one [**SPACE**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/space). Note that the 🌈**Prismatic Radiance** collective would allow players to select between the three basic collectives and only the selected color would be active. | Collective | Group Type Bonus | | ------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | 🔴Light Hammer: **Speed** | Faster Crafting & Refining. | | 🔵Steady Anvil: **Efficiency** | less $BIGTIME needed when Crafting & Refining. | | 🟢Four-leaf Clover: **Luck** | Extra Bonus Roll Slot. | | 🌈Prismatic Radiance: **Everything!** | All of the above | *Note: Group Type Bonuses are subject to change for balancing reasons.* ## Refining, Crafting, and Upgrading ### **Refining** **Forges** can refine [**Cosmetic Shards**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/cosmetic-shards) into [**Refined Cosmetic Shards**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/cosmetic-shards/refined-cosmetic-shards) which are then used for crafting.

Armory Actions Overview.

## **Armory Max Issuance, Rarity & Types**

Armory Max Issuance by Rarity and Type.

### **Max Issuances** The issuance amounts in the table above are **immutable and** **will never change**. ### **Rarity** **Armories** have ten rarity tiers: **Common** through **Unique**. An **Armory** can only Craft or Upgrade [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) equal to its rarity tier but with **Bonus Rolls**, they can craft up to two rarity tiers higher. ### **Types** There are ten types of **Armories**, each type has a **Special Bonus** and a **Color**. | Armory Type | Collective | Specialization | | ---------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------- | | Armory of Quickness | 🔴Light Hammer | Gloves | | Armory of Rapidness | 🔴Light Hammer | Helmets | | Armory of Swiftness | 🔴Light Hammer | Legs + Shields | | Armory of Decisiveness | 🔵Steady Anvil | Shoulders | | Armory of Diligence | 🔵Steady Anvil | Chest | | Armory of Acuity | 🔵Steady Anvil | Gloves + Helmet | | Armory of Chance | 🟢Four-leaf Clover | Legs | | Armory of Luck | 🟢Four-leaf Clover | Shields | | Armory of Fortune | 🟢Four-leaf Clover | Shoulders + Chest | | Armory of Triumph | 🌈Prismatic Radiance | All of the above | *Note: Armors assigned to specialization are subject to change and are not finalized.* {% hint style="info" %} **New Armors** Every time we introduce new armor types to the game, we'll assign a specialization bonus to one of the existing Armory Types to incorporate them. {% endhint %} ### Specialization Each **Specialization** increases the **Crafting Speed** of a particular Armor piece. The **Specialization's** extra speed depends on the rarity, and generally, single specializations would have faster speed compared to multiple specializations with the exception of the Rainbow colors. ### Collectives Each **Collective** will have a specific group bonus plus it would be used to unlock the [**Workshop Collective Set Bonus**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/workshop-collective-set-bonus) which looks into the [**Workshops**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) that are set up within one [**SPACE**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/space).

Hourglass Max Issuance by Rarity.

### **Max Issuances** The issuance amounts in the table above are **immutable and** **will never change**. ### **Rarity** **Hourglasses** have ten rarity tiers: **Common** through **Unique**. The higher the rarity tier, the more [**$BIGTIME Tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) they can generate. ## Acquiring $BIGTIME With Hourglasses When equipped, **Hourglasses** allow players to acquire [**$BIGTIME Tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) while adventuring. The amount of [**$BIGTIME Tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) acquired increases depending on the number of equipped **Hourglasses** and their rarity. [**$BIGTIME Token**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) generation not only depends on the Rarity but also on a player’s skill and efficiency at playing the game — the harder the content, the more [**$BIGTIME Tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) they will collect. ### Equipping Multiple Hourglasses Players can spend [**Time Crystals**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/time-crystals) to increase the number of **Hourglasses** equipped. Players can equip up to 5 **Hourglasses** at once. | Slot number | Time Crystal Cost | | ----------- | ----------------- | | 1 | 0 | | 2 | 6,250 | | 3 | 12,500 | | 4 | 25,000 | | 5 | 50,000 | *Note: Values in the table above are subject to change for balancing reasons.* {% hint style="info" %} **Hourglass Equip Slot Cost** To unlock all 5 equip slots, you will need a total of **93,750 Time Crystals** (the sum of all 4 extra equip slots), once the slots are unlocked, they will be available for all pocket watches since this is a one-time purchase. {% endhint %} ## Hourglass Active Time

Hourglass Cycle.

An **Hourglass** has a limited **Active Time** and players will be able to generate $BIGTIME if the Hourglass is equipped and it has an **Active Time.** Once the **Hourglass** is depleted, players can recharge it via the [**Time Warden**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/time-wardens) by using the **Recharge Hourglass** action. # Cracked Hourglasses **Cracked** **Hourglasses** are in-game consumables that can generate [**$BIGTIME Tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) when equipped but will vanish from the player's inventory once their sand is depleted. They are soul-bound and cannot be traded.

These requirements will be related to [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles), besides **Rarity,** restrictions could be on tags, examples of tags are: * **Source:** The source of this Collectible. (Craftable, Non-craftable, etc.) * **Theme:** The theme of the Collectible (Viking, Medieval, etc.) * **Season:** The season the Collectible was released (EAL, Preseason, Season 1, etc.) * **Color:** The color of the Collectible (Red, Blue, etc.) *Note: these are just examples and not the final list of tags that will go into the game.* {% hint style="info" %} **Examples of Cosmetic Requirements:** * Equip at least **3** [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) of **Rare** Rarity or higher. * Equip at least **3** [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) with the **tag:** **Viking**. * Equip at least **2** [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) with the **tag:** **Blue.** * Equip at least **1** [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) with the **tag:** **EAL.** {% endhint %} ### Entry Fee Once the **Cosmetic Requirements** are met, Players can pay the **Entry Fee** to enter.

Prestige Portal Modifiers (Mod variables are for illustration purpose only)

There will be two types of Mods: * Cosmetic Economy Modifiers. * Gameplay Modifiers. #### Cosmetic Economy Modifiers These are modifiers that can affect the Cosmetic Economy Drops such as [**Time Crystals**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/time-crystals), [**$BIGTIME Tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens), [**Cosmetic Shards**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/cosmetic-shards), [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles), etc. #### Gameplay Modifiers These are modifiers that can affect the gameplay, things that can make the encounter or adventure harder or easier, depending on the mods. {% hint style="info" %} **Acquiring Power Through Prestige Portals** Prestige Portals **DO NOT** have any advantages when it comes to getting power-related items. {% endhint %} ### Modifier Slots Each **Prestige Portal** will have two types of **Modifier Slots**: * Preselected Slots * Bonus Roll Slots #### Preselected Slots These are slots that are preselected on the **Prestige Portal** at the moment it spawns and cannot be changed or adjusted by the player. While **Prestige Portal** may have **4** (Subject to change) number of preselected slots, not all of them will be filled or set, and that's how certain **Prestige Portals** would be very rewarding compared to others. #### Bonus Roll Slots These are slots that are always empty and can be set by players through **Bonus Rolls.** The number of available slots depends on the **Prestige Portal** (at the time it spawns) and is not always constant. **Steps When Bonus Rolling** * Before entering a **Prestige Portal**, players will have the option to **Bonus Roll**. * Players spend [**Prestige Portal Mod Chips**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/bonus-roll-chips/prestige-portal-mod-chips) to **Bonus Roll**. * Then they can decide on which of the **Mod Bonuses** they want to **"Lock in"** before they roll again. The goal, of course, is to fill all the slots with the perfect set of **Portal Mods.** * Each **Locked slot**, will **increase the cost** of the **subsequent roll**. {% hint style="info" %} **Regular Portals Modifiers & Bonus Rolls** While Prestige Portals have cosmetic economy and gameplay Modifiers, **Regular Portals** will have **Power Items and gameplay Modifiers**. The idea is for players to run **Regular Portals** to get power items and **Prestige Portals** for Cosmetic Items. **Regular Portals** can also be **Bonus rolled** via a currency that can only be obtained through random monster drops. {% endhint %} # Lunar New Year Mystery Box

Race to the unique rarity Cosmetic Collectible.

In the diagram below, on the left, you can see the max issuance numbers for [**Craftable** **Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles/craftable-cosmetic-collectibles) depending on their rarity, and for any given line of [**Craftable** **Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles/craftable-cosmetic-collectibles), there could only be only **1 unique**, and that's why it would be a race to see who would be able to craft this unique first.

Only 1 unique rarity can exist for each line of cosmetic collectible.

Keep in mind that to craft a [**Craftable Cosmetic Collectible**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles/craftable-cosmetic-collectibles), you would require 3 of the previous rarity, and in this example, we can see that **to craft a rare** which is the 3rd tier of rarity, we would **require** **9 commons** to be crafted. Now if we take this and fast forward it to a **unique** which is our 10th rarity tier, then we would need almost **20k commons** to craft that unique. This might look like a large number, but keep in mind that we look at this as being a **collaborative effort** between all the players of Big Time during a season, where each player has a role in the economy, whether that be providing [**Cosmetic Shards**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/cosmetic-shards), [**$BIGTIME tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) or crafting the low rarity cosmetics. Every player will have a role during a season and crafting a unique is the crown jewel of that collaborative effort.

Crafted Cosmetic quantities during a Season.

To touch on this a bit more, as the season goes by, the entire community would gradually climb through the rarity tiers to the unique which should happen towards the end of the season. # Airdrops Big Time has the following active airdrop programs: * [**$BIGTIME Preseason Leaderboard Airdrop**](/big-time-economy/airdrops/usdbigtime-preseason-leaderboard-airdrop) # Referral Leaderboard

$BIGTIME Referral Leaderboard

The referral leaderboard serves as a means to reward players for actively recruiting new recruits to Big Time. By inviting players, the more in-game actions they perform, the greater the number of points you accumulate. Your eligibility for [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) rewards is then determined by your ranking on the **Referral Leaderboard**. **Checkout the live ranks here:** [**https://bigtime.gg/referral-leaderboard**](https://bigtime.gg/referral-leaderboard) ## Leaderboard Timeline The Referral Leaderboard will commence and conclude simultaneously with the current $BIGTIME Leaderboard round. Moving forward, both leaderboards will always start and end at the same time. **Start: 1/19/2024** **End: 3/22/2024** ## Recruitment Window To be classified as a "Valid Recruit," a player must be recruited after the commencement of the Leaderboard round (1/19/2024). Only Valid Recruits will have the ability to contribute points. ## How to Earn Points Players can earn points based on the actions performed by their recruits. Actions undertaken directly by the player will not yield points for this leaderboard. Recruits can accumulate points for their recruiter through the following actions: 1. **Running Prestige Portals:** Low Points. 2. **Time Warden Action:** Medium Points. 3. **Armory/Forge Action:** High Points. ## Rewards A total of **2.5m** [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) to be allocated for a max of **350 participants** as follows: | Reward Tiers | $BIGTIME Reward | Seats Available Per Month | | ------------ | --------------- | ------------------------- | | Tier 5 | 90,000 | 5 | | Tier 4 | 30,000 | 15 | | Tier 3 | 15,000 | 30 | | Tier 2 | 6,000 | 100 | | Tier 1 | 3,000 | 200 | The reward will be distributed in **16 airdrop waves**, similar to the method used for the [**$BIGTIME Leaderboard**](/big-time-economy/airdrops/usdbigtime-preseason-leaderboard-airdrop). {% hint style="info" %} **Important notice:** Any participants found to be manipulating the leaderboard by using multiple personal accounts will be removed from all leaderboards and will face suspension for violating our terms of service. {% endhint %} # $BIGTIME Preseason Leaderboard Airdrop The [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) Leaderboard is a special airdrop program that rewards players with [**$BIGTIME Token**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) depending on their in-game actions. The total amount of [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) allocated for each Leaderboard round will varry depending on the round.

a **Live Leaderboard** will be showing the current rankings and will be **Updated Daily.** Once a leaderboard round is completed, all poitns will be reset for the next round to come.

$BIGTIME Leaderboard Example

The Leaderboard can be accessible from this link: [**https://bigtime.gg/big-time-leaderboard**](https://bigtime.gg/big-time-leaderboard) ## How To Get Points Your leaderboard position determines your reward tier. The more points you get, the higher you'll move up the leaderboard, and the bigger your reward will be. Players can get points by doing any of the following actions: 1. **Rank Up** - Low points 2. **Craft Collectibles** - High points 3. **Run Prestige Portals** - Medium points ### Rank Up You'll earn leaderboard points when you **hit specific player ranks**. The higher the rank you reach, the more points you'll get. For instance, reaching rank 30 will earn you many more points than reaching rank 5. ### Craft Collectibles Players would also get points when they craft via the [**Forge**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/forges), [**Armory**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/armories)**,** and [**Time Warden**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/time-wardens). The more valuable the recipe is, the more points it will contribute. For players to be able to Craft Collectibles, they will first need to own a [**SPACE**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/space) then they would need to attach Workshop Collectibles (Armory, Forge & Time Warden) to it to start crafting. The recipes that will contribute leaderboard points are as follows: * Refining Cosmetic Shards. * Crafting Cosmetic. * Crafting Hourglass. * Recharging Hourglass. * Dismantling Cracked Hourglass. **Note:** that Cosmetic Crafting & Refining cosmetic shards are the two actions that will give the most points compared to their relative crafting cost. ### Run Prestige Portals [**Prestige Portals**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/prestige-portal) are unique portals that have a higher drop rate for **Cosmetic Collectibles** as well as [**Economy resources**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources) such as [**Time Crystals**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/time-crystals) and [**Cosmetic Shards**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/cosmetic-shards). To enter a [**Prestige Portal**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/prestige-portal), you'll need to fulfill certain requirements that could range from equipping specific Cosmetics, paying [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens)**,** or using [**Time Crystals**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/time-crystals). Going through these portals will also earn you points, boosting your rank on the leaderboard. ## Leaderboard Details The leaderboard will display the **top players who are eligible**, which is the number of **reward slots available** each leaderboard cycle. The leaderboard will be updated daily and reset at the end of each cycle. Keep in mind, that when the leaderboard is reset, everyone's points will go back to 0, but the **recruitment association will remain intact** throughout this event. \ You can check your rank and points on the leaderboard by visiting this webpage: [**https://bigtime.gg/big-time-leaderboard**](https://bigtime.gg/big-time-leaderboard) ## Reward Amount & Tiers Reward amounts will be displayed on the Leaderboard. Note that reward amounts can varry depending on the Leaderboard Round. Once a leaderboard Round is concluded, the reward will be distributed via airdrops in **16 weekly cycles**. In addition to[ **$BIGTIME Tokens**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) we also have Cosmetic Collectible Titles that will be distributed after the end of the third leaderboard cycle:

Unique1Rank#1 player for month 3
## FAQ - Preseason Leaderboard Airdrop **When will I get my rewards and how do I get them?** You'll receive your rewards shortly after the leaderboard cycle has ended. Note that sometimes we may perform audit reviews on the leaderboard results which could 7 days or so and when this happens the reward distribution could be delayed. **When will this airdrop program start?** This Airdrop program will be kickstarted once the Preseason is live and will last for three months. **Will you show the exact number of points we get for each action?** We won't be sharing the exact values and formulas used to calculate the points but a general rule would be that the harder the action is, the more points it should contribute. For example, crafting a rare cosmetic would yield more points compared to crafting a common cosmetic and so on. **What will happen to my points and my recruits once the leaderboard is reset?** At the end of a leaderboard cycle, all players’ points will be reset to zero but the recruitment link will remain. What this means is that after a reset, if any of my recruits gained points, I would still get a bonus consisting of percentage of their points. **How frequently will the leaderboard get updated?** The leaderboard will be updated daily. **Do I get points for ranking up pocket watches?** For ranking up, points are only awarded for player rank and not for individual pocket watch ranks. **Which rank thresholds will give me points?** The higher the rank, the more points you will get. For example, reaching rank 5 would give fewer points than reaching rank 10, and so on. # Leaderboard Challenges

### Earning Leaderboard Points Through Challenges The primary benefit of completing challenges is the acquisition of Leaderboard points. These points are crucial for players aiming to climb the ranks on the Leaderboard. To earn these points, players must successfully complete challenges. Consider the following example to illustrate this process: **Challenge:** Craft 5 Weapon Cosmetics with a rarity of Legendary or higher. **Reward:** 150,000 Leaderboard Points To earn the substantial reward of 150,000 Leaderboard points, players must fully meet the challenge criteria. This requires crafting all 5 Legendary (or higher rarity) Weapon Cosmetics. It is important to note that crafting fewer than 5 items will not yield any of the rewarded Leaderboard points. Players must complete the entire challenge to receive the reward. ## Leaderboard Challenges FAQ **Do I need to do these Challenges to earn leaderboard points?** No, these challenges offer an extra amount of points on top of what you would typically get for doing the action. However, it would be very beneficial to complete these objectives to make sure you are getting a good amount of points to help with your journey to the top leaderboard positions.
**Can I redo the challenge multiple times?** No, once you have completed the challenge, you won't get any extra points form doing it again. **If I completed a challenge do I get the points instantly?** No exactly, you would get the points in the next leaderboard update. Typically the leaderboard would update once everyday at 1am UTC. **What if you already completed the challenge that was announced, do you still get points?** To get points you need to complete the challenge during the time window that was mentioned with the challenge, for Round Challenges the time window is from the start to the end of the leaderboard round, for Weekly Challenges the time window is from Monday to Sunday of that week.
**Is the Leaderboard reward points mentioned with each challenge the total points i will get for doing that action or is it an extra on top?** The reward for the Leaderboard Challenges will always be an extra on top of what you would normally get.
**Do I get points for completing each challenge or do I need to complete the entire set of challenges to get the points?** To get points you will need to complete a single challenge, meaning if a weekly challenge consisted of 3 tasks, completing only 1 task would still give you points. However, a task can require doing multiple things, for example “Complete 5 Prestige Portals”, to get points from this challenge you will need to complete the 5 portals and so on.
**What if I started a craft to fulfill a challenge requirement but my craft will not be complete until after the deadline, will that still count?** No, for crafting actions, we will always consider when the craft is completed to determine if it was done during the time window.
**Is there a way for me to track my progress on any of these challenges?** Initially there won't be any way to track the progress unfortunately, however we might add a method to see which challenges have been fulfilled by each player later on. # Gift Mystery Box Airdrops Now that our Economy design is fleshed out and we have our Collectibles **Max Issuances** set in stone, we can finally offer our loyal players and Collectible owners **Airdrops!** ## Gift Mystery Box Airdrop Program

## Eligibility For players to be eligible for the airdrop they need to **own at least one Big Time collectible** and need to **play the game** during the previous month of when the airdrop will take place (for example: play during May to be eligible for an airdrop during June) ## Reward Allocation We will be using an **Account** **Point Based System** to determine how to allocate the monthly **Airdrops**, where we sort accounts depending on their **gameplay activity** & **Big Time Collectible Holdings**, the more they hold, the higher the airdrop allocation. * More Collectibles = More Points * Higher Rarity Collectibles = More Points * More Valuable Collectibles = More Points * More Portal/Dungeon/Adventures Completions = More Points This means **Weapons, Armors, Titles, SPACE, Workshops, and Mystery Boxes** all will be contributing points towards your total account points. Being eligible does not guarantee an airdrop reward as there are a limited number of Mystery Boxes each month. The allocation per account will depend on the points calculated given the account’s held Big Time Collectibles. The more you play Big Time and the more Big Time Collectibles you own, the more points you will get, making you eligible for higher rewards during that month.

Airdrop Points Calculation

### **Account Points** Account points are the main ingredient to get airdrop points, and we calculate them depending on an account's Big Time Collectible holdings (SPACE, Mystery Box, Cosmetic, etc.). The more you hold, the higher the account points. To calculate the Account Points for players, we will take a snapshot of the account holdings on a random day during the previous month. For example, for March's Airdrops, the account holdings snapshot will be taken on a random February day. ### **Adventure Bonus** Since Airdrops are available each month, players can complete adventures in Big Time to increase their Airdrop Points. Each adventure completed during the month will increase the Account Points by 5%. The Adventure Bonus can only go up to 100%, meaning if you want to maximize your Airdrop points, you will have to complete at least 20 adventures during that month. ### **Airdrop Reward** Accounts will get airdrops depending on their total airdrop points. The higher the points, the higher the reward. ### **Reward Tiers** Reward tiers represent the number of seats available per month for each of the rewards baskets, and the distribution is as follows: | Reward Tier | Seats Available per month | | ----------- | ------------------------- | | Tier 5 | 150 | | Tier 4 | 500 | | Tier 3 | 650 | | Tier 2 | 1,250 | | Tier 1 | N/A\* | Each reward tier will be corresponding to the following rewards: | Reward Tier | Rewards | | ----------- | ------------------- | | Tier 5 | X1 Grand Gift | | Tier 4 | X1 Time Warden Gift | | Tier 3 | X1 Deluxe Gift | | Tier 2 | X1 Bonus Gift | | Tier 1 | N/A\* | *Note: The number of reward tiers per month and the rewards given the tier are subject to change.* *Tier 1: This reward tier is currently not active and may be activated later on.* # $BIGTIME Token Generation Event Airdrop
The big day has finally arrived! The [**$BIGTIME token**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) is now officially live, and we will celebrate it with the **$BIGTIME TGE Airdrop**! ## Purpose Of This Airdrop This airdrop is specifically designed to kick-start the Big Time game economy. If you've played recently, you might have seen that the hourglass crafting takes time to be fully up and running since more hourglasses are being used for crafting than generating [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens). This is normal since the economy is getting started. But for the Cosmetic Crafting part to work, it needs $BIGTIME. This is where the TGE Airdrop helps. It gives players diving into cosmetic crafting and those exploring prestige portals in high-end areas the [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) they need while the hourglass crafting ramps up. ## Eligibility To be eligible for this airdrop, players need to have participated in any of our 8 [**Gift Mystery box airdrops**](/big-time-economy/airdrops/gift-mystery-box-airdrops) or played in the last patch. One of the main design pillars for [**$BIGTIME**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/resources/usdbigtime-tokens) is that it's made for the players, so adding this rule made sure that the eligible users are players who enjoy Big Time and want to enjoy it even more with the game economy features. ## Rewards Distributed amounts range from **2,300 to 50,000** which are allocated based on points. Points are calculated in a similar way as the [**Gift Mystery Box Airdrop**](/big-time-economy/airdrops/gift-mystery-box-airdrops) but are slightly different since they factor in multiple months of activity.
# Postcards Airdrop
## UPDATE - 11/3/2023 We would like to let you know that we're extending the Postcard redemption airdrop cut-off date to **November 20th**. This gives you extra time to ensure your postcard redemptions are all set. We're committed to making this process as seamless as possible and look forward to seeing more of you participate! ## UPDATE - 10/6/2023 The postcard redemption tool has been updated to allow for single postcard redemptions to contribute towards the Postcard airdrop. For the postcard airdrop, we will factor in redemptions that have been made up until the cut-off date of **11/6/2023** so make sure to redeem those postcards before that date to be eligible for the airdrop! The airdrop will be sent out shortly after the cut-off date! Big Time postcards were among the earliest collectibles we offered, and we want to express our gratitude to all our supporters, particularly those who've been with us from the start. During our Economy Reveal, we ensured to incorporate a special Airdrop reward for all our postcard holders and now, we're eager to share the specifics of these rewards with you. ## Goal Of This Airdrop 1. Give a special reward to players who have completed and redeemed a full set of postcards. 2. Add a representation for the Postcard Collectibles in-game by making them a SPACE decoration collectible. 3. Add a reward for players who did not complete a set but own multiple postcards. ## Eligibility To be eligible for this reward, players need to fulfill any of the below criteria: 1. Redeem a full set of postcards. 2. Redeem 20 postcards (any cards, no set completion required) ## Airdrop Rewards

## FAQ **When will I receive this airdrop?** We will announce the time of the Airdrop later on, note that we will have a cut-off period where redemptions after a specific date won't be rewarded with airdrops, we will make sure to announce the cut-off date 30 days in advance to give players a chance to redeem their postcards. **If I redeemed my cards before the announcement, am I eligible?** Yes, everyone who redeems their postcards before and after the announcement will be eligible. Note that we will announce a cut-off period for this program at least one month before that takes place. **If I redeemed a set, will that count towards the 20 postcards redeemed?**\ Yes, redeeming a set, will count as 6/20 for the “any 20 postcard” redemption.
**Does each player get only one Airdrop reward?**\ No, the amount of rewards that you could get depends on how many complete redemptions you fulfilled, a complete redemption can either be a full set or 20 postcards. For example, if a player redeemed two sets, and a total of 40 postcards, they would be eligible for four airdrop rewards. **If only four Postcards will be made into collectibles, which ones will they be?**\ This will be either determined by the development team or resolved via a voting poll.
**How come you don't make a collectible for each postcard?**\ Doing that would result in an additional 90k of collectibles to be added to circulation and at this point that would not be beneficial for the ecosystem. So adding only four postcards, with a max supply of 8,000 is a reasonable solution to have a representation for the Postcards in-game without oversupplying the marketplace.
**What If I don't own a full set and I don't own 20 postcards?**\ Unfortunately, that won't make you eligible for any of the reward tiers assigned.
**Can I keep my postcards and still get a reward?**\ No, to be eligible, the postcards need to be redeemed which means burnt through Openloot's redemption tool.
**What will happen to the unclaimed rewards?**\ Once the program is delivered, any unclaimed rewards will be kept in Big Time’s vault. Most vaulted collectibles can be used later on for other events as the development team sees fit. \ **Why are you giving away gift mystery boxes, aren't those for the gift mystery box airdrop program?**\ Players who owned postcards, technically own Big Time collectibles and missed out on a couple of months of airdrop rewards, so adding the gift boxes here compensates for the missed time. **If I bought one of the hats that was the reward of a Postcard set redemption, am I eligible for the airdrop?** No, the airdrop reward is only targeted for players who redeemed the cards as this is a part of their reward. # Glossary of Terms Big Time features its own lingo of colorful sayings and catchphrases. **Adventure Instances** Instanced Levels where a party of friends can play together. Most of the Adventure Instances are procedurally generated. **Big Time** Street slang for “Paradox Corporate,” the company that owns time. **Dyson Sphere** A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its solar power output. **Game Quests** Story-based missions that the player receives from Non-Player Characters in the game. These can be completed solo or with help from friends. Most take place in the Hub world or procedurally generated instances. **Hometime** When and where a person is originally from before coming to Time’s End. **Pocketwatch** Pocketwatches are earned in-game by defeating enemies. They allow players to switch between classes and save their progress for each class. **Time’s End** Time's End is a land at the end of space and time, converted into a refuge center for those fleeing the universe's collapse. It holds the repository of all the collected knowledge of the universe. **Time Machine** Your personal universe inside Big Time. Expand your Time Machine and production capabilities with SPACE, Time Wardens, Armories, and Forges. **Timequake** A paradox in the space-time continuum where historical norms are violated and significant ripple effects spread out and cause cracks in time and space. **Timerift** Timerifts are cracks in time and space caused by Timequakes. Timerifts only flow in one direction. Objects and even people can fall through them. They lead to other Time Collisions on any planet orbiting Time’s End. Most Timerifts are small, but sometimes even massive objects like the Titanic fall through large cracks in time. Time Collisions Allow people to “live in the past” where they can come and go as quickly as walking through a doorway created by the Paradox Engine that allows multiple divergent copies of space-time to exist in parallel time bubbles. **Wildones** Uncharted and unstable time rifts are known as “wildones.” The cracks in time show up seemingly at random, but there is a pattern of when they open and where they lead. Until a wildone has been stabilized, it is likely to disappear and reappear at a new location. # Procedural Generation Big Time uses Procedural Generation to create an engaging and new experience in every battle.
