Minting NFTs

To mint NFTs in Fisher's Quest, you'll need to have a Theta Wallet. Visit our Connecting a Theta Wallet guide if you need to create and/or connect one. You will also need enough TFuel (a Theta-based cryptocurrency) to afford the cost of generating the NFT and the transaction cost. This cost is usually ~$1 US, rounded up to the nearest whole TFuel, based on current prices. If a Wallet isn't connected or doesn't have enough funds, the process will fail.

Once you have your Wallet connected and enough TFuel to mint your NFT, read on!

## NFT Basics

NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are a way of digitally proving ownership of any type of digital media. They can be bought and sold from others in different marketplaces. In Fisher's Quest, this means that any NFTs created in-game can be used outside the game, such as in future Tiny Knight games, or traded with other players. All Equipment and Catchables in Fisher's Quest can be turned into an NFT.

When an NFT is created from equipment or a catchable, it is assigned higher Luck, Distance, and Tension stats than the gear used to make it. NFTs created from equipment can be equipped in the same slot as the item used to make them; NFTs from catchables can be equipped to the Charm slot. Each NFT is also assigned five additional stats not used in Fisher's Quest, represented by different shapes on the NFT's Explorer page. Presumably, these are placeholders for future Tiny Knight projects.

Each NFT is also assigned a selection of different information for its mint number, grade, score, and other items. For more information, head to the NFT wiki page.

## Minting an NFT

Head to the NFT Generator on the west side of the island, between the Shop and the Central Fountain. Interact with the station, and you will be presented with a menu showing all of your equipment. On the top-right, you can select the "Catches" button, which will switch to displaying your catchables. Click the equipment or catchable you wish to turn into an NFT and it will appear on the left-hand side. When you're ready, click the Create button to generate your NFT!

The game will begin processing your NFT transaction. After a few seconds, you will be presented with a confirmation prompt through your Google Chrome Extension. If this prompt does not appear automatically, click the extension to open it. When you're sure you're ready to create the NFT, confirm the transaction. The necessary number of TFuel will be taken from your Theta Wallet, and in exchange, your wallet will now own the newly-minted NFT!

**Note:** If you do not confirm the prompt and exit NFT generation, the transaction will be left in process. The next time you go to make an NFT, you will have to either confirm or cancel your previous transaction before you can start another one.

A newly-created NFT will automatically be placed in your inventory in Fisher's Quest; you can equip it as any other equipment. If you don't see the NFT, ensure you're connected to the correct Theta Wallet and try refreshing the game. Congratulations, you're all set!

## NFT Tips

* The Tier of a piece of equipment or a catchable determines the NFT's possible stats; lower-tier NFTs will have lower stats than higher-tier ones.
* There are some circumstances under which the player can obtain NFTs without TFuel, such as through promotions. These can still be sold to other players on the Marketplace for TFuel, which can in turn be used to make other NFTs, meaning that a player can fund all their NFTs without ever needing to buy or earn TFuel through other means.
* Since NFTs always have higher stats than the equipment used to make them, maximizing gear score requires the player to have NFTs in all 7 equipment slots.
