Conversion Rates
Understanding Account Rate, Time-Lock Rate, and how your final conversion is calculated.
Your Arcanite to ARC conversion rate is determined by two factors: your Account Rate (based on progression) and your Time-Lock Rate (based on withdrawal speed).
Base Conversion
100 Arcanite = 1 ARC Token at 100% combined rate.
Your actual rate is calculated as:
Final Rate = Account Rate × Time-Lock Rate
ARC Received = (Arcanite ÷ 100) × Final Rate
Account Rate
Your Account Rate scales from 40% to 100% based on three weighted factors:
| Factor | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Level | 30% | Progress toward max level (85) |
| Playtime | 20% | Total hours played (over 30+ days) |
| Achievements | 50% | Quests, milestones, and progression |
Level Contribution (30% weight)
| Level Range | Contribution |
|---|---|
| 35-45 | 0-8% |
| 46-55 | 8-15% |
| 56-70 | 15-22% |
| 71-84 | 22-28% |
| 85 (Max) | 30% |
Playtime Contribution (20% weight)
| Hours Played | Contribution |
|---|---|
| 100-200 | 0-5% |
| 201-400 | 5-10% |
| 401-700 | 10-15% |
| 701-1000 | 15-18% |
| 1000+ | 20% |
Note
Playtime must be accumulated over a minimum of 30 calendar days. This prevents rapid farming and ensures genuine engagement.
Achievement Contribution (50% weight)
| Achievement Progress | Contribution |
|---|---|
| Basic homeland quests | 0-10% |
| All main story quests | 10-20% |
| Nexus Quests completed | 20-30% |
| All quests + Social Quests | 30-40% |
| All achievements + Rare milestones | 50% |
Achievements carry the highest weight because they require genuine gameplay skill and engagement that bots cannot easily replicate.
100% Account Rate Requirements
To achieve maximum Account Rate:
- Level 85 (max level)
- All main story quests completed
- All Nexus Quests completed
- All Social Quests completed
- Rare achievement milestones
Time-Lock Rates
Choose how quickly you receive your ARC tokens:
| Withdrawal Type | Rate | Delivery Time | Dynamic? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instant | 30-60% | Immediate | Yes — Oracle adjusted |
| 1 Week Lock | 60-80% | 7 days | Yes — Oracle adjusted |
| 2 Week Lock | 100% | 14 days | No — Always 100% |
Normal rates: Instant 50% / 1-Week 75% / 2-Week 100%
Why Time-Locks?
Time-locks serve multiple purposes:
- Reduces selling pressure — Spreads withdrawals over time
- Rewards patience — Dedicated players always get the best rate
- Discourages bots — Extraction efficiency reduced
- Price stability — Prevents sudden supply dumps
Tip
The 2-week lock rate is always 100% regardless of Oracle state. If you're patient, you always get the best deal.
Note
Cancellation: Pending withdrawals can be cancelled anytime before completion for a full Arcanite refund.
Dynamic Rate Oracle
The Oracle adjusts only instant and 1-week rates plus weekly caps based on economic health. Fixed parameters (base rate, account formula, 2-week rate, fees) never change.
What the Oracle Controls
| Component | Normal | Stressed | Growing | Hard Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Instant Rate | 50% | 30% | 60% | 30-60% |
| 1-Week Rate | 75% | 60% | 80% | 60-80% |
| Weekly Cap (Basic) | 10,000 | 5,000 | 15,000 | 5k-15k |
| Weekly Cap (KYC) | 20,000 | 10,000 | 25,000 | 10k-25k |
What Triggers Adjustments
| Indicator | Oracle Response |
|---|---|
| Extraction rate over 50% of earned | Decrease instant/1-week rates, tighten caps |
| Player base declining 3+ months | Decrease rates |
| Healthy growth + low extraction | Maintain or increase |
| Token price stable/growing | Maintain |
Oracle Rules
- Reviewed every Monday at 00:00 UTC
- Changes announced 7 days in advance
- Published ranges are hard limits — Oracle cannot exceed them
- Current values always visible in Exchange interface
Warning
During economic stress, instant withdrawals may yield as low as 30%. The 2-week lock is always 100% — patience is always rewarded.
Combined Rate Examples

| Time-Lock | 1 Week (75%) |
| Final Rate | 41% |
Converting 1,000 Arcanite:
