# Islands
**Islands** is an skilling + eco management game mode where players consume Energy to gather / extract / farm resources from fertile Island hubs. These resources that can then be refined into finished goods at the main Island buildings and cashed in to the weekly Supply Drive for season rewards (Favor) and Arena Tokens.
**Arena Tokens** is the main game currency of Islands.
## Islands v1 :island:
### Islets (Player-owned Islands)
Islets are player-owned islands where you can fish, mine, cook, smelt, and store your goods. Every Islet must be **anchored to an** [**Island NFT**](https://opensea.io/collection/cambriaislands) (either your own, or pick one to settle on), creating a relationship between settlers and landholders.
* **Purchase an Islet** (2M Arena Tokens or 6 Energy orbs) and choose which Island to call home
* **Build a Storage Chest** (required to interact with resources on your Islet) - need Plank,
* **Fish, Mine, Gather** resources from the Islet, then refine them in the buildings on the main Island
* Farm various crops and collect from your herd animals
### Getting There
To purchase an Islet and teleport to the Archipelagos, talk to **Registrar Joryn** in Chancery of the Archipelagos in the Dungeon Lobby.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Note: Current Islets will be usable for the entirety of the First Landing Season + any playtests / Gold Rush Testnet. All Islets will be reset on release of Gold Rush.
{% endhint %}
### Rare Drops :money\_mouth:
While **Fishing, Mining, or Gathering**, you may come across certain RARE DROPS.
| Rare Drop | Arena Token value |
| -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Mando's Relics (T1/T4) |
T1 - 1M AT T2 - 5M AT T3 - 25M AT T4 - 100m AT
|
| Secondary Ingredients (based on Biome) | Varies on market |
### Energy Orbs :yellow\_circle:
To do Island Activities, you need Energy.
**Energy Orbs** can be purchased in game for $2 USDC each or with Arena Tokens (300k AT each in Viktor's Shop) - each orb gives **50,000 Energy.** Players can also sell Energy Orbs at the trading post to get Arena Tokens.
You can use Energy Orbs / Energy to:
* Purchase an Islet (costs 3 Energy Orbs)
* Gather resources on the Islet using Energy (earning vouchers and other rewards)
* Refine those resources (Smithing, Crafting, Cooking) back on the main Island
* Cash those resources in for Mando's Favor (⇒ Cambria Trinkets / Airdrop, Abs XP, etc.)
### Trading Items with Players :arrow\_up:
To buy / sell items with other players using **Arena Tokens**, talk to Winifred in the main Dungeon lobby or in the Island bank on any of the Islands. You can buy various skilling ingredients, cosmetics, etc.
{% hint style="info" %}
To get more **Arena Tokens**, either buy them OTC in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/playcambria) (#otc-trading) or sell Energy Orbs to other players in the Trading Post (talk to Winny)
{% endhint %}
## Weekly Supply Drive :up:
The Royal Treasury is getting restless and is beginning to stockpile a huge store of supplies for an upcoming campaign to take over the Cambria mainland. To fuel this supply drive, Quartermaster James is awarding Royal Favor to all players that cash in certain Island-produced items.
#### How It Works
1. Cook Food, Smelt Bars, or Craft Cloth using resources
2. Cash these items in to Quartermaster James (Island)
3. Get varying amounts of Mando's Favor based on relative supply drive supply, Priority Bonuses for special food (changes every 12h), etc.
To view the current supply of the items, you can use the [Economy Dashboard](https://www.markofthezeal.com/cambria).
## Rewards :star:
### Extracting
Extraction skills like Mining, Fishing, Gathering, etc. consume energy and give Mando's Relics as rewards. These rare items can be directly converted into a massive Arena Token haul!
| Relic | Instant Cash Value |
| ---------------------- | ------------------ |
| **Relic** | 1M Arena Tokens |
| **Exquisite Relic** | 5M Arena Tokens |
| **Fabled Relic** | 25M Arena Tokens |
| **Otherworldly Relic** | 100M Arena Tokens |
### Refining
Cashing in refined resources on Islands (from Cooking, Crafintg, Smithing, and Farming), yields Royal Favor, which is the main metric to determine your weekly rewards allocation (Trinkets - Cambria Airdrop, Abstract XP, etc.). You can do refining without actually gathering the raw input resources - simply buy them off of other players on the Trading Post (talk to Winny in the Dungeon Lobby).

{% endhint %}
### Farming & Husbandry
Seeds obtained from Extraction skills can be used to grow crops on your Islet. These are used as input resources for a variety of finished goods.
