The blockchain-based economy of Night Crows is powered by its innovative Tokenomics. A core component of this system is the ability to transform your in-game character into a tradable asset. Through a process called Character Abstraction, you can mint your character as an NFT, enabling you to buy and sell it on the official WEMIX PLAY Marketplace. This guide provides a complete overview of the entire Character NFT lifecycle, from creation to trading.
Understanding Character NFT Basics
Before you begin the process of creating a Character NFT, it's essential to understand the prerequisites and terminology. Ensuring you meet all requirements will lead to a smooth and successful experience.
Prerequisites for NFT Creation
To mint your character as an NFT, you must fulfill the following conditions:
- Your character must have reached Level 50 or higher.
- Your character must have completed the 2nd Advancement.
- You must possess the required minting fee of 8,000 DIAMOND.
- Your game account must have a completed Wallet Linking to a WEMIX PLAY wallet.
It is important to note that one wallet can only be linked to a single game account.
Key Terminology Explained
Navigating the NFT system requires familiarity with its specific language:
- Character NFT: A non-fungible token representing your Night Crows game character, built upon the in-game economy. It can be traded on the WEMIX PLAY Marketplace.
- NFT Minting: The process of declaring your game character as a Character NFT. This grants NFT properties to your character and is a one-time process per character.
- Sealing: A procedure that prevents further changes to a character. An NFT must be sealed to be traded, and a sealed character cannot be used in the game.
- NFT Import: The required process to use a character that was previously sealed for trading.
- Wallet Linking: A service supported by Night Crows that connects your game account to your WEMIX PLAY Wallet.

Accessing and Managing NFT Features
The NFT menu is your central hub for all blockchain-related activities within Night Crows.
How to Access the NFT Menu
You can access all NFT functionalities by selecting the NFT option from the main game menu (☰).
Account and Wallet Linking
If your account is not yet linked to a wallet, the linking process will automatically initiate.
- You will be prompted to scan a QR code using the WEMIX Play App to complete the Wallet linking.
- Remember, one game account can only be linked to one wallet.
- You can change your linked wallet before using any blockchain services. However, once you perform actions like minting or sealing, the wallet becomes permanently fixed to that account.
Viewing Wallet and Character Information
After successfully linking your wallet, you can view your character's basic information. Click the [Chain/Wallet] button in the top right corner to see detailed data, including the connected Chain, Type, and Wallet address. Use the [Reconnect Wallet] feature to change wallets before any blockchain service is used.
The Step-by-Step Process of Minting a Character NFT
Minting is the first official step in creating your unique Character NFT.
Preparation and Requirements
Before you click the mint button, ensure you have a character that meets all the following conditions and the 8,000 Diamond fee.
| Type | Requirement | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Character | - Level 50+ - 2nd Advancement Complete | You must meet all character requirements. |
| Account | - Game Account Linked - Wallet Linked | Both linkages must be complete. |
| Cost | - 8,000 Diamonds | The non-refundable minting fee. |
A character that has been minted but remains unsealed can continue to be used for normal gameplay.
Executing the Minting Process
Inside the NFT Minting UI, you will:
- Check that all prerequisites for Character NFT Minting are met.
- Review the default information and stats of the character (Level, Name, Class, Server, ATK, DEF, ACC).
- Click the ‘Mint NFT’ button to start the process.
- Carefully read all precautions, click the confirmation checkbox, and then click [Confirm] to finalize the minting.
If the minting process is interrupted, the 8,000 Diamond cost will be reimbursed to your in-game inbox. Once minted, the NFT property can be viewed later in the [NFT Import] menu or in the [My NFT] section of your wallet app.
How to Seal Your Character NFT
To list your character for sale on the marketplace, you must first seal it. The sealing page will only appear for characters that qualify.
Sealing Requirements and Cost
The sealing process consumes 800 Diamonds per seal. The list of requirements is extensive to ensure a stable and fair transaction:
| Seal Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| NFT Minting Status | Character NFT must already be minted. |
| Sealing Cooldown | Any previous sealing cooldown must be complete. |
| Character Level | Level 50 or higher. |
| Death Penalty | Any death penalty must be restored (items and EXP). |
| Party | You must not be in a party. |
| Exchange | No unreceived Diamonds or items in Server or World Exchange. |
| Limited Items | No time-limited items in your bag or Private Storage. |
| Location & Status | Must be located in a village and not in combat. |
| Crafting | No active Crafting Requests. |
| TOKEN | No ongoing Token transactions. |
Upon completion, you are directed to the lobby, and the character is no longer usable. It will be marked with an ‘NFT’ tag on the character selection screen.
Importing a Sealed NFT Character
NFT Import is the process of bringing a previously sealed and traded character back into the game for active use.
The Import Process
You can initiate an NFT Import from the Character Selection screen:
- Choose the specific server where the Character NFT was originally sealed.
- Click the ‘NFT Import’ button to load the desired character.
- Importing can only be done on the server where the character was sealed and incurs no extra cost.
- After a successful import, a 5-day cooldown is applied before the character can be sealed again.
- If a Guild member seals an NFT character and it is unsealed by a different account, the character will automatically leave the Guild.
Information Preserved After Sealing
A key advantage of the NFT system is the preservation of your character's progress. The following information is retained intact after sealing and through any trade:
- Character Info: Level, EXP, Class, Advancement, Stats, and Skills.
- Assets: Equipped and owned Mounts/Gliders/Weapon Styles.
- Currency: Gold, Guild Coin, Contribution Coin, Distinction Insignia, Valor Coin.
- Progress: Monster, Achievement, Gear, and Antique Collections.
- Equipment: All gear, accessories, artifacts, and Night Crows gear (including their grade and enhancement stage).
- Inventory & Storage: Every item in your bag and Private Storage.
Trading Character NFTs on the Marketplace
The primary venue for trading Character NFTs is the WEMIX PLAY Marketplace. All trades are conducted using the CROW token.

The Offer System: A New Way to Trade
Night Crows features an ‘Offer’ function, allowing players to negotiate sales directly from the game.
For Sellers:
- Activate the ‘Offer Permit’ option for your NFT in the WEMIX PLAY marketplace.
- Set an offer period (3-7 days) and a minimum offer price.
- When you accept an offer, you must seal the character in-game to finalize the transaction.
- Once the buyer confirms, the transaction completes, and you receive the payment.
For Buyers:
- Find characters open for offers by filtering in the marketplace.
- Register a price offer. The CROW tokens for your offer are moved to a temporary account.
- You can increase your offer or cancel it (note: gas fees for cancellation are not refunded).
- If the seller accepts your offer, you will receive a notification. Review the character details on the Discovery page and make the final confirmation to complete the purchase.
In-Game Notifications
To streamline trading, the game sends in-game mail notifications for all offer-related activities:
- A new offer is made to a seller.
- An offer is canceled by a buyer.
- An offer is accepted by a seller.
- An accepted offer is withdrawn by a seller.
These notifications are sent to the 'Character' inbox, making them accessible to all characters on your account.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I delete my game account after minting an NFT?
You must seal the Character NFT before deleting your game account. Failure to do so may result in the irreversible loss of the NFT asset linked to that character.
Can I use my sealed NFT character while it's listed for sale?
No. A sealed character is locked and cannot be accessed for gameplay until it is unsealed through the NFT Import process by its new owner.
What is the main advantage of turning my character into an NFT?
The primary advantage is true ownership. Your character becomes a tradable digital asset on the blockchain. You can sell it to other players, potentially recouping your investment of time and resources, or purchase powerful pre-leveled characters to advance your gameplay.
Are there any risks involved in the NFT sealing process?
The main risk is not meeting all the detailed sealing requirements, which can interrupt the process. Additionally, once a wallet is used for a blockchain transaction, it becomes permanently locked to that game account, so choose your wallet carefully.
How does the 5-day cooldown after NFT Import work?
After you import an NFT character into the game, a 5-day cooldown period is activated. During this time, you cannot seal that same character again. This prevents rapid, abusive trading and ensures market stability.
Where can I see the full history and details of a Character NFT I want to buy?
All details of a listed Character NFT can be thoroughly inspected on the official Night Crows website under the NFT Discovery menu. This transparent system allows buyers to make informed decisions by reviewing all preserved stats and equipment.
