Pit Fights: Round 1
Last updated
Last updated
In Pit Fights, players can spectate, invest in, and wager on a roster of NPC champions that battle to the death in the Arena Pits. Pit Fights run in bursts of 10 matches, at the start of every hour. The Pit Fight Arenas are found to the south of the Duel Arena statue in the main lobby, and to the southeast of the Highlight Player Arena pit.
Players can place any amount of Arena Token wagers on Pit Fights. The wager pools start off with 10k Arena Tokens on both sides of the pool (short-term server incentive). Wagers can be placed on either or both of the champions in the duel. Multiple consecutive wagers can be placed prior to the start of the fight - it's usually best to wait to see how the betting pool develops before placing a big bet.
When the duel starts, your Wager Percentage is calculated - if you bet 30k Arena Tokens on Champion A and the total amount bet on Champion A (including your wager) is 100k, your Wager Percentage is 30% (30/100). If Champion A wins,
You get your original 30k Arena Tokens back
You win 30% of the Total Amount Bet on Champion B (the other "Pool")
You can also bet on both sides of the fight, to hedge or take advantage of pool bet dynamics.
All bets made (win or lose) on Pit Fights will earn Essence Points, depending on the size of the bet. 1EP will be earned for approximately 5,000 Arena Tokens bet. If you bet fewer than 5,000 Arena Tokens, you will have a chance to earn 1EP based on the percentage out of 5,000. EP Rewards are on a logarithmic curve, creating diminishing returns for large bets. There is a maximum of 1,000 EP that can be earned per fight, regardless of total bet size. Additionally, there is a 5% fee taken from Arena Token bet winnings on payout.
To open the Spectator Wager view, click on the "Eye" orb above the Pit.
Note: If you are not online to receive the Arena Token & Essence Point Rewards on completion of a Pit Fight, only your Arena Token winnings will be added to your account the next time you login. Additionally, this is not a foolproof system as these refunds do not currently persist on server restart / maintenance.
The wagering skill tracks your progression towards mastery of wagering-related activities in Cambria. Every wager you make, regardless of bet size, grants you XP equal to 35 * CURRENT_WAGERING_LVL. Unlocking new levels from 1 to 99 unlocks new rewards, including:
At the start of each Round (Round 1 will last for 2 weeks), Champion Tokens can be bought from the Duel Arena Shop for Arena Tokens. At the beginning of the round, 500 of each Champion Token is stocked in the shop, and can be bought at a price dictated by a bonding curve + base price (starting base price: 100k, ending price: ~2.6m).
Champion Tokens can be freely traded in game.
Midway through the season, and at end of the season, Champion Token holders will earn the following Duel Arena Essence Point (EP) rewards, PER token held in inventory or bank. Placement is calculated by KDA (Win/Loss Ratio). Essence Point Rewards are distributed on Day 3, and on Day 14 (post-launch).
The Prize Pool for the Round (currently 12.5 ETH, ~$40,000) is distributed at the end of Round 1 (on Day 14) to the Top 25 Champion Token holders, ranked by cumulative Champion "Points". Each of the Top 25 will receive 0.5 ETH.
In Round 1, there will be a total of 9 champions on the roster.
