Tag: Upland.me Spark Quest

Spark Quest is an exciting Web3 addition to the Upland.me Super App, making use of and bringing additional value to it’s virtual landscapes.

Step 1: Build A Base

Creating a Base is the first step in building a profitable Space Empire in Spark Quest.

Benefits of Bases: Bases earn UPX by attracting visitors to your properties (other players, as attackers that must visit your base to earn resources on Spark Quest), earning you UPX from visitor fees. Colonies, Moons, Planets and Extreme Planets earn UPX in additional ways. This guide will help you build your way up.

Resources Needed to Build A Base: 100,000 Sparkles, 20 people, 20 DronBots & 40 Supplies.

How to Collect Needed Resources: Attack other players bases here for all resources needed. You can also collect Sparkles by playing the Spark Quest’s Asteroid Mini Game.

Attacks

During ATTACKS. The Spark Quest algorithm gives Attackers resources collected from the mine being attacked. The Spark Quest algorithm also REPLENISHES the mines losses at a variable rate.

Protecting a base that is about to get wiped out from attacks (by losing a certain amount of it’s resources). In the future, a mine will lose its status if it falls below certain levels.

Attacks can reward the attacker Sparkles, People, DronBots, Supplies and UPX. The main point of attacks are to gain resources needed to build Bases, Colonies, Moons, Planets and Extreme Planets. Occasionally an Attack will collect a Motherload of UPX. There are rare loot chests throughout various mines, the current UPX Motherloads hidden within mines are listed on the sidebar of the Spark Quest dashboard.

Step 2: Build A Colony

A Colony can be build when you have: 500,000 Sparkles, 200 People, 200 DronBots, 400 Supplies.

Benefits of Colonies: Colonies can earn UPX when another player purchases resources to build a Base from Spark Quests SQUi page and pays with UPX. The odds of a colony earning UPX from another players UPX purchase depends on the number of active Colonies. You Colony will lose some resources if it is randomly chosen to be used for creation of the players Base (that they purchased with UPX). It will then slowly regenerate the resources over time. Colonies also earn UPX by attracting visitors to your properties (other players, as attackers that must visit your base to earn resources on Spark Quest), earning you UPX from visitor fees. Moons, Planets and Extreme Planets earn UPX in additional ways.

Hierarchy

There are a total of five different civilizations that can be built. Each requires more resources then the last to build. The greater you Space Civilization, the greater the UPX and Sparkle earning potential.

Base, Colony, Moon, Planet, Extreme Planet.

Extreme Planets Are The Ultimate & May Be Limited of Time

Extreme Planets can earn a cut of sales of SQui Upgrades purchased with UPX. The exact odds are not published and are dependent on amount of Extreme Planets the Sales Randomizer has to choose from. Extreme Planets are the top of the hierarchy out of all the Space Civilization types.

SQUi (SPARK QUEST UPLAND inhabitable)

A SQUi is a plot of land you own in the Upland.me Super App that you can inhabit (build bases & colonies on).

Future Updates

Speaking with the creator of Spark Quest, he let me know that he is considering adding automatic Sparkle Mining earnings from the various Space Civilizations in the near future. It’s not clear if all Space Civilization levels would auto mine and/or how much they Sparkles they would mine.

Supplies Needed For Various Space Civilizations

BASE – 100,000 SPARKLES, 20 People, 20 DronBots, 40 Supplies

EXTREME PLANET – 10,000,000 SPARKLES outfits a PLANET with 2,000,000 People, 2,000,000 DronBots, 4,000,000 Supplies.

Transports – Spendable Balance

You can spend the Sparkles found in your Transports to buy bases/conlonies/planets/extreme planets.

You can spend all of the other items in your Transports to upgrade your mines.

Transports hold the various resources. In a upcoming update transports & will be used to transport & refill mines with resources. Spark Quest will continue to put out updates and improvements. Right now we are in some of the earliest days of Spark Quest, a perfect time to get a head start in developing Space Civilizations.
