Beginners Guide to Upland - What the other guides don't tell you...

 


Getting Started

This guides assumes that you've already been introduced to Upland, and understand generally what it is.  For those of you still a little unsure, in a sentence - Upland is a metaverse powered by a blockchain that allows you to own digital assets secured by the blockchain.

There's plenty written by the folks at Upland about what the game is and why you should be a part of its metaverse.  This guide is about you getting started, so lets get started!


Your Focus

Upland is still in Beta, and has A LOT of forthcoming features.  For now, the focus is on obtaining properties and the in game currency UPX (pronounced U-PIX).  Everything in this first post is related to those singular goals - get property, earn UPX.  This is your mantra.


Before You Sign Up

Before you sign up to play, you should make a decision... are you going to pay to play?  Your beginning strategy will be based on this decision.  

You should know that when you start Upland, you start as a visitor.  Visitors get a small amount of UPX to start - 3,000.  If you follow an advertisers link, there can be a bonus of another 3,000 UPX.  As a visitor, your abilities are somewhat limited.  You cannot sell any of your properties in the secondary market until you become an Uplander - which requires a net worth (value of properties + UPX) of over 10,000.  Earning the 4,000 UPX to become an Uplander can be a grind - but it can be done! 

Almost any purchase of UPX will put you over the 10k limit.  1,000 UPX is equal to approximately $1.00.

I've separated the two strategies into their own posts:

  Not Spending A Dime! If you've decided to make your way in the Upland World without spending any real world money (fiat in crypto terminology), here's your strategy: First, do some research!  The game will place you near some property(ies) labeled FSA and encourage you to purchase.  FSA property is great and while your net worth is under 100k UPX, its how you're going to make money.  However, not all properties are equal. How To Research Go to upx.world , this is a third party website that uses the open nature of the block chain to provide information about properties available.  Get familiar with this site!  UPX.World Here's what you're looking for:   On the left had side there is a submenu, go to Data Tools - Neighborhoods.  This is where you'll become acquainted with the neighborhoods in Upland.  You will want to do a generic search for each neighborhood in the city where you are located.  For example, in Brooklyn, the first neighborhood listed is 'Boro
