Allowlists & Mint Phases
Captain & Company mints feature three different phases for pirates to join.
The Guaranteed Phase is open to an exclusive set of users that have won a Guaranteed Spot via various partner giveaways or by earning the Boatswain role in our Discord. The Guaranteed Spots are able to mint 30 minutes before all other pirates at a discounted price of $30 per lootbox paid in ETH on Arbitrum with a max of 2 lootboxes apiece.
Users who have won a Guaranteed Spot via a partner giveaway should submit their email and ETH address to that partner who will then convey your details to us. Users who have won a Guaranteed Spot via the Boatswain role should claim the associated quest for the Guaranteed Spot in Zealy.
Note that users with Guaranteed Spots are also automatically included on the Allowlist, and may mint during both phases.
The Allowlist Phase is open to users that have subscribed to our email list on capnco.gg, followed our Twitter, and dropped off their ETH address in this signup form before it’s closed. These pirates will be able to mint a lootbox during the Allowlist Phase of the mint, which lasts for the majority of the mint window. Pirates will be able to mint at a discounted price of $30 per lootbox paid in ETH on Arbitrum with a max of 5 lootboxes apiece.
The Public Phase is a very brief period at the end of the mint for any and all landlubbers that were slow to sign up for the allowlist(s), and will provide them a last-minute opportunity to jump on board before we set sail. These pirates will mint at the standard price of $50 per lootbox, paid in ETH on Arbitrum.
Start Preparing Now
The mint will take place on OpenSea, using the Arbitrum chain, and will be priced in ETH. That means that you should ensure that you have sufficient ETH on Arbitrum to purchase the number of lootboxes that will satisfy your pirating needs. If you’ve never used Arbitrum before, the good news is that it’s very simple - you can follow Arbitrum’s official bridging guide here, or use their bridge directly here.
Arbitrum features extremely low gas fees, EVM compatibility, & strong chain consensus security, which makes it ideal as an L2 for our gaming purposes.
You should also familiarize yourself with OpenSea’s user interface. We’ll be publishing a more complete step-by-step picture guide closer to mint so that you won’t have any issues navigating chains or marketplaces.
Note: You must mint using the same wallet that you provided on the Allowlist!
What’s in the Box?
You lucky pirates who manage to snag a lootbox from under the watchful eye of the Iron Corsairs will earn some combination of the below assets:
Blueprints
Goldprints
Cannons
Hats
Eyepatches
Lumber Bundles
Ore Bundles
Blueprints are your ticket to creating a ship inside of Captain & Company. Each ship species is highly limited in supply and must be created by combining one blueprint with lumber, ore, and ETH. Read more about the ships and the brigs that will be available in this mint here.
Goldprints are for the truly fortunate, and uniquely can be converted directly into a ship without requiring any additional resources of any kind. These magical specimens are the most coveted assets in all of the Goldcoves, and always fetch a pretty penny at the shipyard.
Cannons are the centerpiece of any Captain’s fearsome arsenal and one of a few customizable cosmetic elements of your ship.
Hats are collectibles that range in variety from faction-affiliated fantastical helms to fantasy-inspired classics like one particular pirate’s Straw Hat.
Eyepieces are collectibles that top pirates use to express their fame and fortune, or see the world through rose-colored goggles.
Lumber and Ore Bundles are certificates that grant players thousands of these precious resources, which are required by captains to both mint ships and, later, repair them.
From Minting to Playing
As soon as you mint, you’ll immediately receive a lootbox that’s filled with all sorts of pirate goodies, but you won’t be able to open it just yet — that’ll happen later, on November 21st, via a brand-new feature on OpenSea. We’re the very first featured project to be partnering with OpenSea to demonstrate this Redeemables functionality, and we’ll have a town hall right before the mint alongside OpenSea to explain to you how it all works.
On November 21st, you’ll head back to where you minted the lootboxes on OpenSea and use their brand-new Redeem function to pop those lootboxes open. At that point, you’ll receive 5 NFTs simultaneously, which are randomly sampled from the assets listed above. You’ll then take those assets to the Shipyard page on our website and combine various resources and blueprints together to create the very first rare ships of the entire Captain & Company universe!
In order to mint a ship, you’ll need resources. But, fret not, it’s very likely you’ll find most of those resources inside of the boxes you’re about to open (and, if you don’t, it means you may have received multiple ship blueprints, which make you one very lucky pirate). Ship crafting costs are:
Clockwork Brig: 30,000 Padauk (T2 Lumber), 15,000 Iron (T2 Ore), 0.015 ETH
Wraith Brig: 30,000 Purple Heart (T3 Lumber), 15,000 Mithril (T3 Ore), 0.050 ETH
Within 24 hours of those boxes opening, we’ll be opening the gates to the Goldcoves for limited time periods per day.
You’ll be able to hop in, invite all your friends, and immediately start blasting scallywags straight down to Davy Jones’ locker. We’ll also have additional rewards available for the best performers periodically during Season 1, so keep your eyes peeled for additional ways to win treasure!
Referral Booster Boxes
There are many brave pirates amongst your ranks who made a phenomenal push to recruit tens of thousands of other players to enter the Goldcoves. For those efforts, pirates who participated in the referral program on capnco.gg will be receiving 1 Booster Box for every 20 referrals they successfully secured.
These Booster Boxes will be delivered in-game a few weeks after the Season 1 mint finalizes to give the team time to stabilize the servers.
Note that the total number of ship blueprints across all booster boxes is only 1,000, which means that pirates looking to be captains should still mint Season 1 Clockwork Lootboxes in the main mint event if they want a strong chance of securing a ship at launch, as the total supply of both the Clockwork Brig and the Wraith Brig will not increase past the total amounts issued in these two boxes.
Burn Baby, Burn
Barnaby Bluewater, the eccentric washed-up salesman who runs the shipyard over at the Goldcoves, has a thing against holding too much inventory on hand. So, periodically, he burns all the ships and assets he’s got sitting around. It’s quite a spectacle. And, for this mint, it’ll be happening just after the final public phase closes.
Any Clockwork Lootboxes left unminted will be promptly set ablaze and burned at approximately 2:00 PM EST on November 21st.
This will be your one and only opportunity to own real assets inside of the Captain & Company ecosystem this season, and you’ll be the first pirates to set your claim to the Goldcoves.
Grab a mug o’ rum, lock down your nuggies, and swab the poopdeck because this pirate party is about to set sail. 🏴☠️
A memorable work
Really this is a great project
