Set 10,000 years in the future, players must journey through perilous past worlds to collect lost history and take down the evil Supercomputer, Harmony, that reigns supreme over the world.

How do I win Eighth Era coins?

Players level 6 and above have the chance to win reward coins in our frequently occurring tournaments featuring original characters from Eighth Era. These come in three varieties and rarities: colorized (rare), silver-plated (epic), and gold-plated (legendary). Tournament details are subject to change. You can always find the latest information on the in-game tournament screen.

How long are the character coin tournaments?

There are two tournament lengths: 1 week and 2 weeks. The typical tournament cycle for a character coin will be 1 week, 1 week, and end with a 2 week. 

As the most rare reward, the legendary gold-plated coins will only be rewarded in the cycle’s 2 week tournament finale. You can always find out what coin you’re competing for by what’s shown on your tournament menu.

How do I qualify for the Legendary gold-plated coin?

As the most rare reward, the Legendary gold-plated coins will only be rewarded in the cycle’s 2 week tournament finale. You can always find out what coin you’re competing for by what’s shown on your tournament menu.

Player Groups:

To provide balance, players are segmented into three tiers based on their player level at the start of a tournament. 

  • Level 6-20: Competes for rare colorized coins. 
  • Level 21-40: Competes for epic silver-plated and rare colorized coins. 
  • Level 41-60: Competes for all three varieties.
How do I compete against other players?

While these tournaments aren’t direct PvP, you will be racing against players in your level range to climb the leaderboard and make it into the top ten. Check out the tournaments menu in the game to see exactly how to grow your score. The leaderboard resets at each tournament so don’t worry if you don’t make it this time, there will be many more chances!
