Origins - Season 2 Guide – Sky Mavis

Season 2 of Axie Infinity: Origins is finally here! The new season begins on January 11, 2023 and will last 42 days.

This new season introduces BIG updates to many Runes, Charms, and cards. In addition, Eras: a new leaderboard system that rewards players throughout the entire season with a total of 112,000 AXS while promoting a dynamic meta through progressive Rune/Charm rarity unlocks across the season.

Origins Portal

The Origins Portal will allow players to make deposits and withdrawals of in-game assets from the game. Trainers will be able to send SLP and NFT runes and charms from the game to their Ronin wallets and vice versa.

This will allow trainers the ability to trade runes and charms that they have crafted in-game among each other.

For a step-by-step guide on how to withdraw and deposit assets, please check our Origins Portal article.

Smooth Love Potion [SLP]

Please check our Smooth Love Potion article for more information on SLP distribution in Axie Infinity: Origins.

Disenchantment Changes

Disenchanting runes/charms from a previous season yields less Moon Shard now. However, disenchanting runes/charms that are still active during the season yields the same amount of Moon Shard as before.

Here’s what these rewards will look like:

Players can earn points for various missions that focus on bug-related items such as Bug Axies, Bug Runes, and Bug Charms.

As they earn points they will unlock rewards like Moonshards, Moon Dust, Special Avatars and a special sticker.

You can check this link for the full details of this contest.

Daily Login Bonus

We are launching a new experiment where players will be able to redeem rewards for logging in to the game every day.

Players can check their mailbox to claim a free reward after logging in each day, however, these rewards will expire at the end of the day so it is important to not miss a day!

Note: This is the first version of the Daily Login Bonus and it may be adjusted based on data and feedback collected in the future.
