With the continuing rise of video gaming in our current golden age of gaming, with millions of skilled gamers, many players may find it difficult to actually find outlets to make money while gaming. Frankly, the skill cap is too high to become pro and the market at the moment for streamers is so enormous, it’s exceptionally strenuous to make an impact.

Axie Infinity is one of these games that lets players invest in NFTs and then use them as playable characters to battle other players and make money while doing so. Axie players can make money while playing the game in a bunch of different ways, namely through Axie Infinity’s in-game currency, Smooth Love Potions SLP, but also through the Axie Infinity Crypto Coin, AXS, and Axie Infinity NFTs, known as Axies.

For potential gamers wishing to start playing Axie Infinity, they must first purchase a team of three Axies. The average Axie price is around $30.00 USD, so a team should cost roughly $120. After purchasing three Axies, players can then begin playing the game and begin to earn SLP. It’s in SLP Axie Players find they make the most real world money.

The SLP price Axie is currency priced at $0.01712046 for one individual SLP. So the more SLP players earn, the more money they can make. Players can accumulate Smooth Love Potions by playing in the multiplayer PvP Axie Infinity game mode, wherein two users battle with three Axies to make up a team. The PvP mode is a turn based battle mode, where players may also have the option to use Axie World Cards, which are ability cards, to win. Players familiar with Hearthstone should be familiar with the PvP mechanics. The amount of earnable SLP will depend on the player’s Matchmaking Rating, which are as follows:

• MMR 0-999: 1 SLP
• 1000-1099: 3 SLP
• 1100-1299: 5 SLP
• 1300-1499: 6 SLP
• 1500-1799: 8 SLP
• 1800-1999: 10 SLP
• 2000-2499: 12 SLP
• 2500+: 14

Players finding it financially difficulty to afford the initial starting team price tag may partake in Axie Infinity Scholarships, wherein seasoned Axie Infinity players boasting a solid Axie Management loan a team of Axies to “scholars” giving them the option of playing without having to buy a team. In return, the two players then share the earned revenue in a predetermined revenue split. Generally the revenue model follows a 60/40 split but this depends on the pre-negotiated agreement between the players. Players interested in such a scholarship, be it to find or become scholars, may go to Lfcarry to do so. Lfcarry offers assistance in scholarships, as well as many other tips and news about the Axie Infinity Market.

In addition to the SLP, players may also buy the Axie Infinity token, AXS, which is currently valued at $50.95 USD. Investing in Axie crypto is yet another way players can invest and stack cash while playing Axie Infinity. Players with AXS also have the option of Axie Staking as well.

Axie Infinity NFT

At the forefront of Axie Infinity's marketplace is the Axie NFTs, Axies for short. Axies NFTs, after all, are the collectible, battleable character cards that will be used to play the game. Each Axie is unique and works in similar fashion to Pokemon; there are nine different classes and each has weaknesses and strengths to other classes.

• Aquatic
• Bird
• Beast
• Bug
• Dawn
• Dusk
• Mech
• Plant
• Reptile

Players should try to form a well-rounded team of varying classes, so they don’t have a team with all similar strengths and weaknesses.

Axie pricing depends on their unique body parts, classes, and rarity. Every Axie has six different body parts that distinguish its abilities: horns, tails, eyes, mouths, backs, and ears. These parts are integral to the Axie’s uniqueness.

Players may also breed their Axies which literally means breeding two owned Axies to create one offspring with similar genetics. Players should be warned that, however, that each Axie can be bred seven times, with the cost of SLP per breeding rising with each subsequent breeding. The breeding process will take one day for the Axie to be “formed” and four more days before it’s “hatched”.

Players looking for a new way to make some income, while also playing video games, should look into Axie Infinity. It is above and beyond the most popular, and most profitable Play to Earn NFT game on the market at the moment, and hasn’t shown signs of slowing down yet, so it’s likely the earlier you buy in, the better. There is plenty of demand for scholarships and the Axie Market has been growing non-stop, so there’s really no reason not to give it a shot.
