CryptoLand is a play-to-earn strategy game on the XRP Ledger blockchain. Players own NFT Land plots on Mount CryCor and Avatar characters called Cryptopians. Land generates daily CRYPTO income through rent collection, while Avatars perform actions like mining, governing, raiding, and crafting to earn additional rewards.

How do I earn money in CryptoLand?

There are multiple earning methods: Land ownership provides passive daily rent (0.3-3.0 CRYPTO depending on level). Nobles earn from the Tax Pool, Army avatars earn from the Thieve Pool and raiding, Miners extract ore, and Artisans craft equipment to sell.

Why is CryptoLand on XRP Ledger instead of Ethereum?

XRP Ledger offers near-zero transaction fees (under $0.01 vs $5-50+ on Ethereum), 3-5 second confirmation times, and proven reliability since 2012. This means you keep more of your earnings instead of losing them to gas fees.

How much does it cost to start playing CryptoLand?

Entry costs vary based on what you buy. Level 1 Land is the most affordable entry point for passive income. You'll also need a small amount of XRP for the wallet reserve (~10 XRP) and negligible transaction fees.

Like all crypto investments, CryptoLand carries risks including token value fluctuation and market volatility. Your NFTs are secured on the XRP Ledger blockchain. Only invest what you can afford to lose and use secure wallet practices.

Combat & Raiding Guide

Key Takeaways

Army avatars can Raid castles and Thieve from the Thieve Pool
Knights have the highest thieving ability (37.5 shares) among Army subclasses
Raid success depends on OGP sent and equipment quality
The Thieve Pool is fed by the 50% theft from miners
Weapons and armor from Blacksmiths boost combat effectiveness

Combat in CryptoLand centers on the Army class—soldiers who raid castles and steal CRYPTO from the Thieve Pool. Success requires understanding subclass strengths, equipping proper gear, and strategic timing.

Army Subclasses for Combat

Subclass	Rank	Daily Thieve Production	Thieve Pool Shares	Combat Role
Foot Soldier	10	0.4 CRYPTO	10	Entry-level infantry
Spearman	10	0.4 CRYPTO	10	Entry-level infantry
Archer	15	0.6 CRYPTO	15	Ranged support
Cavalry	15	0.6 CRYPTO	15	Mobile assault
Blacksmith	25	0.8 CRYPTO	25	Combat crafter
King’s Guard	25	0.8 CRYPTO	25	Elite defender
Knight	37.5	1.0 CRYPTO	37.5	Elite warrior

The Thieve Action

Thieving is how Army avatars earn CRYPTO without owning land or mining.

How It Works

Perform the “Thieve” action with your Army avatar
Pay the daily cost (varies by subclass)
Receive your share of the Thieve Pool
10% tax is deducted

Thieve Pool Economics

The Thieve Pool is fed by:

50% of all miner production – This is where miner theft goes
The more miners working, the larger the pool
Your share depends on your rank vs total shares thieving

Thieve Earnings Breakdown

Subclass	Production	Cost	Tax (10%)	Base Net
Foot Soldier/Spearman	0.4	0.21	0.04	0.16 CRYPTO
Archer/Cavalry	0.6	0.31	0.06	0.26 CRYPTO
Blacksmith/King’s Guard	0.8	0.41	0.08	0.39 CRYPTO
Knight	1.0	0.51	0.10	0.56 CRYPTO

The Raid Action

Raiding is more active combat—attacking player-owned castles for rewards.

How Raids Work

Select a castle to raid
Send Army OGP to the raid
Success depends on your strength vs castle defenses
Victors receive rewards; losers lose invested resources

Raid Success Factors

OGP committed: More avatars = better odds
Equipment quality: Weapons and armor boost effectiveness
Subclass strength: Knights outperform Foot Soldiers
Castle defenses: Some targets are harder than others

Raid Rewards

Successful raids can rewards:

CRYPTO currency
Equipment drops
Loot Box keys
Rare items

Equipment for Combat

Army avatars can equip weapons and armor to boost combat stats. Equipment comes from:

Blacksmiths: Forge weapons and fabricate armor
Marketplace: Buy from other players
Loot Boxes: Random drops from boxes
Raid Rewards: Victory spoils

See our Weapons & Armor Guide for detailed equipment information.

Combat Strategy Tips

For Thieving

Higher rank = more shares = bigger payout
Knights are optimal but expensive
Watch total thieves—more competition = smaller shares
Consistent daily thieving builds steady income

For Raiding

Participate in equipment before major raids
Start with easier targets to learn mechanics
Coordinate with other players for large raids
Don’t overcommit resources to risky raids

Thieving vs Mining Economics

Army thieving benefits from miner activity:

Factor	Thieving (Knight)	Mining (Foreman)
Daily Net	~0.56 CRYPTO	~0.9 CRYPTO
Theft Risk	0%	50%
Source of Income	Other players’ losses	Direct extraction
Play Style	Combat-focused	Resource-focused

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I lose my Army avatar in combat?

No. Your NFT avatars cannot be permanently lost through combat. You may lose resources invested in failed raids, but the avatar itself remains in your wallet.

Is thieving better than mining?

Thieving has 0% theft risk (ironic!) compared to mining’s 50%. However, mining produces more gross CRYPTO. Knights net ~0.56 CRYPTO vs Foreman’s ~0.9 CRYPTO. Choose based on your risk tolerance and play style.

Do I need equipment to thieve?

Equipment primarily affects raiding success, not thieving. Thieving payouts depend on your subclass rank and pool shares, not equipment. However, equipping your Army avatars is essential for successful raids.

Where does the Thieve Pool money come from?

The Thieve Pool is funded by the 50% theft from miners. When miners lose half their production to “thieves,” that CRYPTO goes into the pool for Army avatars to claim through the Thieve action.
