Connecting a Theta Wallet

In order to create, trade, and own NFTs in Fisher's Quest, you'll need to create and connect a Theta Wallet. While there are multiple ways to go about it, this guide will walk through just one method (using ThetaToken.org's Wallet and Google Chrome extension) from start to finish.

## Creating a Theta Wallet

**Note:** Before you begin this section, make sure you can complete all steps necessary, and be sure to make (secure) note of all information in each step.

When you're ready, head to the ThetaToken.org Create New Wallet page. On this page, you'll need to set a password for your Theta Wallet. **Be sure to make note of this password!** Once you've set the password, download your KEYSTORE file. It is recommended to make a copy of this file. Each time you login to the Wallet from a new device, you'll need to upload your KEYSTORE file, and you'll need to input your password each time you re-login, so having access to both is important. After you download the KEYSTORE, you will be presented with a Mnemonic Phrase, which can be used to recover the wallet if you do lose access. Make a secure note of this phrase as well.

Once you've noted your Mnemonic Phrase, proceed to the next screen. Click "Choose Keystore File" and select the newly-downloaded file, input your password, and click "Unlock Wallet". Congratulations, you now have a Theta Wallet!

## Connecting and Using the Wallet In-Game

### Download the Chrome Extension

In order for Fisher's Quest to securely interact with your wallet, you'll need to connect the two. One recommended way to do this is through ThetaToken.org's Chrome Extension. You will need to validate each request that Fisher's Quest makes to your wallet through the Wallet Extension; this process is secure.

Once you've added the extension to Google Chrome, if it doesn't already appear in your toolbar, hit the puzzle piece icon in the top-right of your Chrome window. It's recommended to pin this extension for easy access. From there, click the extension itself, and add your Keystore and Password as before. Once you're successfully unlocked, you're ready to connect to Fisher's Quest!

### Connecting to Fisher's Quest

Login to Fisher's Quest and click the "Connect Theta Wallet" button in the top-right. Select the Theta Wallet Extension; you should be prompted to approve the connection. Congratulations, you're all set!

## **Acquiring TFuel for NFTs**

Whether you're minting your own NFTs or buying them from other players, you'll need the cryptocurrency Theta Fuel (or "TFuel"). There are a few ways to earn or purchase TFuel:

* (Earning, Very Slow) Theta.tv: A decentralized streaming site where you can earn TFuel just by watching! You could even stream Fisher's Quest :)
* (Earning, Slow) Theta Edge Node: Running this application in the background provides support to Theta.tv (and other future platforms) using the Theta Network. You can also optionally stake TFuel.
* (Earning, Varies) Fisher's Quest Marketplace: Once you already have an NFT or two lying around, you can sell them on the Marketplace for a higher price than used to generate them. Note that the amount earned is highly dependent upon user demand.
* (Purchasing) Cryptocurrency Trading: Using platforms such as Binance (outside the U.S.) or Binance.US (within the U.S.), you can trade fiat currency and/or cryptocurrencies you already own for TFuel.

Once you have some TFuel in your Wallet, then you're officially ready to get some NFTs! These NFTs will be associated with your Theta Wallet; if you connect this wallet to other applications (such as future Tiny Knight games), they'll be able to reference these NFTs as well.

When you're ready to generate your own NFTs, head over to the Minting NFTs guide; otherwise, enjoy exploring the Marketplace!

**Happy Fishing!**
