Hello Brew Masters! First off if you missed my Day 1 post then you can read it here: https://ecency.com/hive-171026/@skimanner/cryptobrewmasters-nft-game-overview

Today we will dive into the pub which is the white tavern next to the beer factory. You can navigate to it by clicking the building or by clicking on the beer mug which is the 2nd from the top in the list of icons on the left side of the screen. This seems like the idea place to start since it is the place to go in order to do daily quests which will grant you ingredient cards for brewing beer.

Their are a host of features to be found in the pub so I will go through them 1 by 1, starting with the most important one to you if your just starting out; the daily quests.

Below is a picture of the pub and I labeled all of the features available. The reserved sign on the table also highlights if moused over or tapped but does not do anything since its reserved for a future update.

Daily Quests
So you click the bulletin board and up pops:

Sidenote: you can buy the 2 in game currencies (cbm & ash) from Cryptex.io I will try to make a detailed post for that on top of my daily game post asap.

Their are many quests to choose from daily. They all require energy that is consumed to start and they all require some amount of time that you must wait to finish the quest. Some also require you to pay CBM, the ones that require CBM are always at the top of the list and they reward more valuable cards.

What if I don't have enough energy to start the quest I want to do?
You have 3 choices:

1.) Wait, it takes 1 hour to recover 1 energy until you reach the cap of 24 and then you will not gain anymore energy.

2.) Click the bartender in the pub that I labeled as buy energy in the above picture. And you will see the following screen, which gives you several options. Dont buy an option that would give you more energy then 24. If you have 20 energy then anything beyond 4 energy will be a waste of cbm since you will only end up with 24 even if you buy +12 energy. (This is the cheapest option to Buy Energy).

3.) Use/burn a beer NFT. This is beer that you either brewed yourself or you buy from another player in the in-game or an external marketplace. The CBM token per energy is higher then to use the pub bartender but you have no energy cap when using a NFT/Card. The only way to do quests that require more then 24 energy is to use Beer NFTs/Cards. More detailed info on beer cards and the market will come in future appropriate blogs.

In the following pictures you will see me get myself from 24 to 29+ energy so I can start my quest that requires 29 energy.

In the last picture I circled the finish now button that appears once you start a quest to make its existence known. The amount of CBM it costs to use hoes down as the timer goes down.

SIDENOTE: You like have noticed the upgrade button, that button is on almost every building and is a whole topic in itself that I will post all about in a future post.

Also doing daily quests is one if the many weekly events that exist that you can participate in to win ASH tokens and ingredient cards if you place high enough in the event leaderboard.

Which brings us to the next pub section Weekly Events. I will only be offering a very brief overview for now and you can look forward to a detailed event post in the future. This blog is gonna be far too long as is.

Weekly Events

As you can see, clicking on the event calendar sign on the pub's bar counter opens you up to the list of all events taking place for the current week. You can click on the green bar of the event on the calendar or click on the event from the list on the left to get access to each events details and standings. Below is the pictures of the standings page which shows the ASH reward for each standing and a picture of the rewards tab which shows the cards awarded for each rank for that event.

Leaderboards are what you would expect so other than this picture to let you see what it will look like, I will let you explore it in more detail on your own. Their are no rewards or anything involved, they leaderboards are for informational purposes only to see how you compare to the rest of the community in each area.

If you click the pinball machine in the pub you will open up Mini Games

95dc0ffa_7145_4320_a06d_47b095ebc3a5.jpeg

As you can see; there is currently 1 mini game in here which is a fun little app you can download on your ios or android device. You can also click play and play it directly in your browser on PC. Other then being fun to play, I don't believe their is any benefit related to it within CryptoBrewMaster itself.

The other game named FishMaster is not actually a mini game, though it can certainly be considered one for the time being. It is actually a single piece of a whole other game that is in development. All I can say is it looks awesome from everything I've seen about it in Discord and I have invested heavily into it already. I will post a detailed blog about the cards currently available to buy for a very limited time as well as the fishing mechanic that you can currently use. Soon as the full beta game is available the gold cards will no longer be purchasable nor will they ever be again. Its NOW or NEVER! The packs will also no longer be available although Im sure the cards in them will be available to purchase again in the future, just in packs that cost more I assume.

Sell Your Beer

Last feature on our long pub crawl today is the cash register. Clicking on this will bring you to a screen that allows you to sell your beer NFT/cards directly to the pub for CBM tokens. You can also sell your beer on the market in game or on external NFT marketplaces. You can normally get more from selling it on the marketplace also from what I have seen. The price that the pub will pay you for each type and rarity fluctuates constantly.

In the above picture I have drawn pointers to the purple bar with a fist icon on the top of your screen and linked that to a pointer to the weekly limit of beer that you can sell to the bartender. The fist icon (purple bar), is your influence score. Your influence score is determined by how many influence cards you own. Their are 2 ways you can obtain influence cards.

1.) buy them from other players on internal or external market.

2.) Buy them from the in game shop which you can find on the right hand side of your screen. It is third from the top (the middle icon). Click the shop icon and then click influence packs on the menu on the left side of the screen that pops up and you will have a choice of several packs that you can buy for ASH tokens. Each pack is all influence cards but have a different amount of them based on price.

Now everything I state in this paragraph is based on my educated guess and ,ay not be 100% factual. From what I can gleam from the information I've gathered from trying to use the cash register on many occasions, the bartender seems to have some mechanic that I cant fully figure out yet that involves the entire community. In my picture below I circled some details that seem like they should be key elements to me.

57708a50_f8a9_4308_b619_829e3f66a391.jpeg

So as you see my limit is 0/105 so I have the influence to sell beer! Also as you see I circled the number 1 in the upper right corner of the orange bordered beer detailing that I own 1 of them in my inventory that I can sell. I also circled the 0% that the pub has in stock and the low stock that the pub has on magnificent quality beer overall on the left side of the menu. But then their is the 200/200 that I circled for that type of beer.

At almost any given time that bar almost always says 200/200 for all 5 of the beer types and each quality is almost always 100% especially white border (nuetral) and green border (good) quality beers. So selling blue-orange quality beer is possible if you get lucky on the time you check and white/green is very unlikely to ever happen.

I tested going into the Buy Energy section by clicking the bartender and drinking 3 beers of the same type and then quickly hoin back to the cash register but it had no effect on the 200/200. This mechanics formulas surely need alot of work. Why buy influence cards when you cant ever sell to the pub even with a super high level of influence.

Ok this is a long one, sorry guys. Trying to keep the, reasonable size for sake of my time making them and for the sake of your reading but at the same time I dont want to make people wait 100 days for 100 posts either lol. And I want to make everything as organized as possible so finding the correct post will be easy for someone looking for information on a topic and having several different posts for a section like pub would make that impossible.

Also I plan on going back thru previous posts each time I make a new one to put a direct link to the new post in any section that mentioned the new posts topic briefly. Such as adding a link to the detailed event post in this post in the event section once I make the detailed event post. And once all posts are done I also plan on making one final post that will be a table of contents with links to the posts for everything.

May you have a long and successful brewing dynasty!

Sort:  

Hola es decir que sólo podes vender cerveza violeta y naranja porque todavía no está completo el stock del bar? Te pregunto porque tengo cerveza neutral y ya compre influencia y asi no me deja vender será porque para esa cerveza el stock está completo?

You can sell it on the market but in the pub it would be very hard since that beer is always 100% in stock. Likely a issue with this being alpha so their are not enough players to drink enough of the pub beer to ever get to those qualities (neutral, good). I just drink my neutral and good beer that i brew when I need to do quests that are more than 24 energy.

Puedes venderla en el mercado pero en el pub sería muy difícil ya que esa cerveza siempre está al 100% en stock. Probablemente un problema con esto sea alfa, por lo que no hay suficientes jugadores para beber suficiente cerveza de pub para llegar a esas cualidades (neutral, bueno). Solo bebo mi buena y neutral cerveza que preparo cuando necesito hacer misiones que tienen más de 24 energías.

Thank you for your post. Playing this game for about 6 months now, it feels like they keep shifting the goal post and moving it further away from people to be successful without spending a lot of money. One other post that may help a lot of people is what to do with sending Ash from Hive Engine to another wallet. Right now it feels like Ash is completely stuck in Hive engine. (at least for me I haven't figured out a way to move it elsewhere)

You can not withdraw any currency unless you own a citizen passport from the white house in top right corner.
