Everything about turtles

Overview

Turtles are an adorable class of playable pets and faithful farmer's helpers that generate income in SPICE tokens. There are only five genesis turtle's genes and many varieties of mixed by breeding ones, which you can meet on players' farms or listed on the marketplace!

Genesis turtles have the following genes:

TRTL-AAAAAAAA - Earthshield Protector

TRTL-BBBBBBBB - Aquaflow Sentinel

TRTL-CCCCCCCC - Flameheart Guardian

TRTL-DDDDDDDD - Windwhisper Warden

TRTL-EEEEEEEE - Arbor Shell Defender

TRTL-FFFFFFFF- Aurelian Tortoisescale

Farming: how to start producing SPICE tokens

Turtles have the unique advantage of passively earning SPICE for their owners. The amount of rewards pool is dynamic and formed from spent by the players SPICE tokens on the ducklings feeding. It works simply: all turtles earn shares of spent SPICE depending on their farming power once someone fed his duckling! The turtles farming power depends on the amount of unique genes in their genotype

Breeding: how to get a unique turtle

By breeding turtles, you will get more rare with a higher SPICE production. As for the ducks, genotype determines the appearance, uniqueness, and power stats of the NFT! The more genes a turtle has, the higher its SPICE production. You will need 2 "can breed" turtles, 1 EGG token, and 0.015 WAVES to cover the transaction fees.

Go to the turtle breeding page
Select two turtles that you want to breed to get a better one

You can check the probabilities of getting each possible genotype after you select the turtles. During the breeding, genes can be passed on from parent turtles with a 50% probability.

Finally, press the "Breed!" button to start the process. Congratulations! In a few moments, a new turtle will appear on your farm!
