Lands

In Astral Wars, Lands supplement your growing collection with steady rewards in the form of in-game currency and additional cards. Rather than simply amassing a disorganized pile of them, you'll need to earn, buy or trade for specific groupings to access various tiers of rewards. This progression track is intended to create an additional gameplay loop outside of standard PvP matches that reward creatively strategic play.

As we've stated from the beginning, Surgent Gaming makes games for the player, and those that actively play Astral Wars will receive the greatest benefit from acquiring Land.

Continents

Lands come in four rarities (Common, Uncommon, Rare and Mythic) that are grouped together in sets comprising Continents:

Each Continent (or Land set) contains 10 Lands:

  • 4 Commons
  • 3 Uncommons
  • 2 Rares
  • 1 Mythic

Acquiring various combinations within each set unlock periodic Adventure quests (PvE battles with unique challenges and rewards) while completing an entire Continent enables the passive harvesting of additional resources. Before you can reap the rewards, however, you'll need to overcome that Continent's rulers:

Acquiring Lands

In our previous post, we briefly touched on Altered Keystones, the primary method for obtaining Land. Altered Keystones have three types:

  • Basic Altered Keystone: a randomly chosen Land of common rarity.
  • Dormant Altered Keystone: a randomly chosen Land of common to mythic rarity.
  • Infused Altered Keystone: a manually chosen Land of common to rare rarity.

Upon consuming an Altered Keystone, a specific elemental combination is revealed determining which Planet the Land is drawn from. These combinations are formed by the four basic Keystone elements (Fire, Air, Earth and Water) which some of you may recognize from Astral Revelations:

The connection to Keystones is conceptual and unrelated to Keystone NFTs in Astral Revelations.

Planets

Each Planet (or Continent set) contains a number of continents. For example: Calor, a volcanic planet represented by the elemental combination of Fire + Fire, is comprised of 5 Continents:

Each Continent on Calor has its own set of 10 Lands:

There are a total of 10 elemental combinations for the various Planets within Astral Wars:

  • Calor = Fire + Fire
  • Fremescent = Fire + Air
  • Eurus = Air + Air
  • Orbis Terrarum = Air + Earth
  • Aurum Fuscum = Earth + Earth
  • Virdis Tapete = Earth + Water
  • Unda = Water + Water
  • Auri Ignei = Water + Fire
  • Ignis Fusus = Fire + Earth
  • Fluctus Venti = Air + Water

You can identify each Planet's Altered Keystone by matching its elemental combination color:
