A guide to the bounty system

Earning Experience by Claiming Bounties (User Screenshots)

When users upload screenshots of trophies to the platform, they earn points based on the rarity, type, and difficulty of the trophy captured. The point calculation involves three main factors: the rarity multiplier, difficulty multiplier, and the bounty value assigned to each trophy type.

Difficulty Multiplier Calculation

The difficulty multiplier is based on user-submitted ratings (1-10) for each trophy. It is calculated using the formula:

$$ \text{Difficulty Multiplier} = 0.5 + (\text{Average Rating} \times 0.25) $$

This creates a multiplier range of 0.5 (easiest) to 3.0 (hardest), allowing harder trophies to be worth more points.

Rarity Multiplier Calculation

The rarity multiplier is determined by the percentage of bounties available on the platform. It is calculated using the formula:

$$ \text{Rarity Multiplier} = \frac{200 - \text{Percentage of Bounties}}{100} $$

This multiplier adjusts the point value of each trophy based on the overall scarcity of bounties.

Bounty Value Assignment

Each trophy type is assigned a specific bounty value, which represents the base points earned for capturing that type of trophy:

• Platinum Trophy: 360 points
• Gold Trophy: 180 points
• Silver Trophy: 60 points
• Bronze Trophy: 30 points

Final Point Calculation

The final point value for each trophy is calculated by multiplying the base bounty value by both the rarity and difficulty multipliers:

$$ \text{Final Point Value} = \text{Bounty Value} \times \text{Rarity Multiplier} \times \text{Difficulty Multiplier} $$

The result is rounded to ensure whole numbers.

Example

Suppose a user uploads a screenshot of a silver trophy:

• Base bounty value: 60 points

• Percentage of bounties: 50%
  • $$\text{Rarity Multiplier} = \frac{200 - 50}{100} = 1.5$$
• Average difficulty rating: 8/10
  • $$\text{Difficulty Multiplier} = 0.5 + (8 \times 0.25) = 2.5$$

The final point value would be:

• $$ 60 \times 1.5 \times 2.5 = 225 \text{ points} $$

This approach incentivizes users to capture and upload screenshots of trophies while considering the rarity, difficulty, and type of the trophy, creating a more engaging and balanced reward system.
