Your Tale Begins

Inky-black waves churn and wash against the hull of your towering galleon. The masts creak and strain as the sprawling sails catch a mysterious wind, driving you and your crew forward through primordial mists.

"How did we get here?"

Every soul aboard longs to see one last golden shore; one last dingy tavern; one last flaming wreck to watch sink, victorious and battle-tired amongst your fellow pirates. Then it lifts. Like a curtain, the mist is drawn and the first ray of a new sun greets each pirate’s weary face.

Welcome to The Plodding Isles.

Plodding Isles is a pirate-themed, play-to-earn metaverse video game existing on the Polygon blockchain, with a modern take on the classic MMO PvP experience.

Players can purchase land, farm, gather resources, raid, PvP and hunt for treasure. All in-game loot and valuables, including ships, land, crew and treasure can be taken to the in-game marketplace for withdrawal into your cryptoasset wallet¹

Players will use our Dubloon (DUB) token as in-game currency. This can also be traded for other cryptoassets through third-party decentralised exchanges on the Polygon blockchain (our primary is to be confirmed.) ¹Plodding Isles is not a Custodian Wallet Provider. Please use a third-party cryptoasset wallet; Metamask or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet.

Upon entering the world, players start on one of the three Sanctuary Islands, chosen randomly. This is where everyone starts out, be it joining the game for the first time, or respawning after death.

These islands will be imperative in your journey across the world of Gibliers Cay. After a short tutorial, players will be directed to the Shipwright, to obtain their first ship. Within the Plodding Isles universe, players can purchase plots of land in an area known as “The Far Isles”, a ring of islands that form the perimeter of the entire map, in exchange for Dubloon Tokens.

The price of these islands will vary according to the USD price of Dubloon. Players will also be able to buy land on third-party marketplaces, such as Opensea, but their first plot of land must be purchased (minted) in-game.

A player will spawn for the first time with a Port Blueprint and a quest item named “Building Materials”. The quest item is not a tradeable resource and cannot be sold. Once the player has acquired the Port Blueprint, the “Building Materials” quest item and their new ship, they can sail to “The Far Isles” to begin their first settlement.

The complimentary Port Blueprint that a player starts with for the first time is essentially a free mint for land. To purchase additional land in-game, additional Port Blueprints can be bought later from the Quartermaster using Dubloons.
