The first group of Illuvitars is presented on Illuvium’s official website. You can check the video below.
What are Illuvitars?
Illuvitars are your profile picture or avatar inside the Illuvium metaverse. Your unique NFT icon will represent you in everything you do inside all games created by Illuvium. They are highly customizable with accessories like eyewear, body wear, headwear, and many more making over million different combinations possible. Each set that is released can be minted indefinitely, but will only be available to do so for a set period of time. It is expected that period of time will be 2,3 days and will be announced later. When that window closes Illuvitars can never be created again.
In the beginning, portraits and accessories will be sold in 6 tiers of crates ranging from bronze to diamond. A portrait crate will contain one random portrait, while an accessory crate will contain one random accessory. Given that, it is more likely for a higher-tier crate to drop a rare portrait or accessory.
Illuvitar pricing
It has been speculated that Illuvium might run the Illuvitar sale similar to the Land sale, where the contracts will be on layer one but the minting process will happen on layer two through ImmutableX (IMX). What has been confirmed is that those wishing to buy a loot box will be able to do so with either $ILV2 or Ethereum (ETH), but not with a combination of the two. So all transactions (free and paid ones) related to Illuvitars will be traded on illuvidex. You can see the price in the table below.
It is important for you to know that Illuvitars are not investments that can return a profit. They are basically your avatar and have no purpose in minting $ILV2, or anything else in the game, except for looking cool. So you can skip buying them or you can mint free ones. In my personal opinion prices like 2.5 ETH for diamond Illuvitars are too high and not worth of investment.
How much can you earn from Illuvium?
Well, that depends on various factors. On how much time you can spend playing the game, how good your skills are and there is an RNG factor included. Earnings from the game also depend on investment in the game. But I am going to talk about the most popular aspect of the game – free to play. So, if you don’t invest anything in the game and just play it, the expected income is 10 $ – 20$ /per hour. You can find in-depth analysis in this article.
When can we play Illuvium?
Illuvium main game release date is expected to be on September 2022. Illuvium Zero is an addition to the main game and it serves for mining the resources. Zero version of the game must be released approximately at least a month before the main game. Considering the fact that Illuvium Zero release date is not yet officially announced there is a possibility that Illuvium game launch even later than expected.
