Season 2 of Cambria has Achieved a $1m+ Player-Funded Prize Pool.
The developers of Cambria have officially announced that Season 2: The Paymasters has successfully achieved a $1m+ player-funded prize pool.
Reports indicate that the $1 million mark officially passed on April 17th. Just 6 days after the season kicked off, according to the official X announcement. Only 8,862 players accomplished this impressive feat by purchasing 21,877 charters and over 132,000 energy.
Season 2 Details
In Cambria Season 2, players fund the Main Prize Pool with USDC by spending ETH and RON in the browser-based risk-to-earn MMO. The more players spend on minting Royal Charters and Energy Orbs, the bigger the prize pool. Anyone who wants to play to earn this season needs to mint a Royal Charter for 0.02 ETH or ~53 RON. Free-to-play players receive what is essentially a trial run to help them decide whether to join and compete for rewards.
This means that anyone who has wanted to seriously participate and compete for rewards has also contributed to the prize pool. That’s not enough to earn a share of it though – players need to collect and cash in loot to earn in-game tradable Coins. The main metric considered for reward distribution from the player-funded prize pool is the players’ contributions.
With the Royal Charter, players have their Energy regenerated every day. Energy is an essential resource that you consume for most gameplay activities. With expeditions outside safe zones draining Energy every few seconds. Regions that are more dangerous and rewarding also consume more Energy. Requiring you to potentially mint Energy Orbs to continue your risky journey straight away.
Cambria Midseason Update
A couple of days after players helped grow the prize pool to over $1 million. The Cambria founder announced plans to launch a huge midseason update for Season 2.
This midseason update will introduce a Dungeon Warfare event, Arcane Research, Paymasters Hideout v2, a Prestige system with Masteries v2, a World Boss, and Hearthfire gear.
Combat Masteries have been overhauled to feature a new Prestige system. That lets players “Prestige” their Masteries using a “Scroll of Mastery”.Activating this scroll resets all combat skills to level 1 and also resets the level caps. Using Prestige requires you to have level 95 in all combat skills. The Prestige system allows you to unlock new perks in each Prestige level. These perks include bonus mastery points, increased combat experience, and an attack speed bonus of up to 8.5%.
