Allocate and Print

In NBM, each NFT acts as a sealed artifact that can be either given to the clone or used to create replicas of it. Those NFTs can be placed into the Molecular Printer, a module available in the shuttle which is responsible for materializing them in game. In order to use this module, go ahead the workshop section then select the printer action :

Molecular Printer Access from the Workshop menu

Within this module, you will find all the compatible NFTs available to be imported. By default the Molecular Printer offers 2 import ways : Print a copy and Allocate to clone. By clicking on each items, you will quickly figure out which option(s) is available (see the capture bellow) :

As you go, keep in mind that you can't print or allocate any rarity of a replica by default. You will have to upgrade your Molecular Printer to unlock them all progressively.

Now it's time for you to understand how those two NFT materialization features work and what are their differences. Depending of your gameplay, you might want to play without it or boost your progression by using them both or one over the other.

No NFT use

This approach is the cheapest and the most common. Players need to find a particular set of items/materials and must pay in resources to produce the desired piece of equipment.

PROS:

• No NFT needed.

CONS:

• Time-Consuming: This approach requires collecting all the required ingredients/materials to craft the desired item. Obtaining all the components typically takes a lot of time.

• Slows Down Progression: Some materials can only be found in particular caves, which means that the clone will have to make do with suboptimal items until the proper location is reached.

Allocate to clone

This approach is the fastest and the most efficient. In that case, click on the 'Allocate to clone' option and select your corresponding NFT from your wallet. The printer will instantaneously create replica of this NFT.

During this process, there is 2 important things to notice :

• First, the NFT is destroyed during the creating process. But be reassured, there is a way to mint your NFT back (read further down).

• Second, you can use an epic NFT to print an epic replica, but you can also use and higher rarity NFT to print lower rarity replica. In that case, your replica will get a max durability boost (see details in the capture above) which will make your replica lasting longer during your explorations.

Full repair

As you probably know, repairing any piece of equipment decrease its max durability. Max durability cannot be restored except for the allocated items. It is specifically what this option does.

To replenish an item max durability, select the allocated item, click on the 'Full Repair' icon twice.

Thus, this process performed by Junker will increase the fail chance by 2% / repair and cost Actium :

Rarity	Price / Repair (Actium)
Common	500
Rare	1000
Epic	2000
Legendary	5000
Ultimate	10000

Mint your NFT back

It is also possible to ask Junker to destroy the item to craft back the NFT. To do so, players can use the Mint NFT function located on the left menu of the item :

To mint an NFT back, select the allocated item, click on the 'NFT' icon twice.

To mint back any allocated item, you need first to Full Repair it !

This process is immediate and cost Minium :

Rarity	Price / Repair (Minium)
Common	500
Rare	1000
Epic	2000
Legendary	5000
Ultimate	10000

Mint Back fail chance and output

It is important to know that crafting back an NFT is a complex process that can fail. The probability of failure increases by 2% for every time that Junker replenished the item maximum durability.

For instance, if an allocated item was fixed 3 times by Junker, the probability of failure while minting back your NFT is equal to 6%. See bellow the 2 possible output scenarios :

• Junker fails crafting back the NFT, you get one rarity below (e.g., if a player allocated an Epic NFT, they will receive back a Rare NFT)

• Junker succeeds, you gets back the same NFT you initially allocated

Allocating NFTs is made possible by the Molecular Printer module. Common Molecular printer only grant you the right to allocate common. Upgrade your Molecular Printer to allocate higher rarity NFTs.

PROS:

• Instantaneous: The object is directly transferred to the clone with no delays.

• Extra Weapons: Offers to Import weapons that can't be find in game.

• Maximal Durability: Equipment produced using this method has maximum durability (100%).

• Repairs possible: Possibility to replenish the maximal durability.

CONS:

• Temporary Destruction: Temporarily destroys the NFT during the allocation process.

• Molecular Printer Upgrade: Requires upgrading the molecular printer to allocate high-quality items.

• Rarity Risk: Risks of receiving a lower rarity NFT during the replication process.

• RISK OF LOSING THE NFT IN PVP : If an allocated item is stored in the backpack and the player loses a PvP battle, the item can be stolen and the player loses the NFT.

Print a Copy

This approach is a variant of the Allocate to clone method where the NFT does not get destroyed, but it takes time, and the quality of the replicas is lower compared to the original one.

During this process, there is 2 important things to notice :

• First, every replica from printed NFTs will be materialize with 50% of his original durability.

• Second, using higher rarity NFTs to print lower rarity replicas will reduce the printing time depending on the level and rarity difference (see the formula in the above capture).

Find below the associated printing time and cost in Actium per rarity :

Rarity	Price (Actium)	Time standard (hours)	Time stelar (hours)
Common	500	4	20
Rare	1000	6	30
Epic	2000	8	42
Legendary	5000	15	75
Ultimate	10000	22	110

PROS:

• Saves the NFT: The original NFT is not destroyed during the replication process.

• Extra Weapons: Offers to Import weapons that can't be find in game.

• Fuel Ressources: Imported Pilot/Scout gears can be dismantle for ressources

CONS:

• Time-Consuming: Replication process can be lengthy.

• Costly: Requires some Actium.

• Lower Quality: The replicated equipment has lower quality than directly allocated items (50% durability).

• Molecular Printer Upgrade: Requires upgrading the molecular printer to allocate high-quality items.

• Craft Slot Occupation: Occupies a craft slot during the printing process, limiting other crafting options.
