Before the Mint
The Captain & Company mint will take place on Arbitrum One. Each lootbox costs 0.015 Arbitrum ETH (roughly $30 USD).
If you’re paying with crypto you already own, you’ll need to bridge it over to Arbitrum - we’ve included a handy guide below for this process. Alternatively, you can pay with a credit card on OpenSea right when you mint - the only requirements for this case are having your crypto wallet and credit card ready to go.
Adding Arbitrum to your wallet
Many wallets will automatically prompt you to switch networks. If your wallet doesn’t support this, or you’d like to add the Arbitrum network to your wallet manually, you can follow these steps:
Click on your browser extension for MetaMask.
From the network drop-down menu, click Add network.
This will open up a new window. Select Arbitrum One.
Click Approve and Arbitrum should be available for use.
Bridging ETH onto Arbitrum
You can bridge Ethereum ETH to Arbitrum using the OpenSea bridge. The full OpenSea guide is here. Below, we’ve included the important steps.
On OpenSea, click your Wallet balance in the upper right corner.
Click the balance dropdown and select Bridge to Arbitrum. If you don’t see this option, switch your wallet to Ethereum Mainnet.
Input the amount of ETH you want to convert to Arbi ETH and click Convert tokens. With this action, you'll be making a direct call to the Arbitrum bridge smart contract to perform the conversion.
You'll be prompted to sign a transaction with your crypto wallet and pay a gas fee.
Once the transaction is processed, you’ll see a Transaction Complete confirmation message.
Minting with a Credit or Debit Card
You will be able to pay the mint fee with a debit or credit card. When you arrive at the collection page and click Mint, select the option to pay with a credit or debit card and follow the steps.
You can find more info on this OpenSea guide: https://support.opensea.io/hc/en-us/articles/4413380935187-How-do-I-buy-NFTs-with-a-credit-or-debit-card-
Please note:
Cards are commonly declined and it’s more reliable to pay directly with Arbitrum ETH
Paying with a card will still require making an Arbitrum wallet
After minting with a card, the wallet will still need some Arbitrum ETH in order to later open the Lootbox, which can be purchased with Moonpay or Metamask’s fiat options when needed.

The mint will take place on OpenSea over 24 hours with multiple allowlist phases:

Mint Your Lootbox
When you’re ready to mint, head to the Captain & Company Clockwork Lootbox collection page on OpenSea and proceed with the steps below. Remember that there are multiple allowlist phases. You can check your eligibility for each phase by visiting the collection page on OpenSea.
Go to the Captain & Company Clockwork Lootbox collection on OpenSea: https://opensea.io/collection/captain-company-clockwork-lootbox/overview
Select the number of Clockwork Lootboxes you’d like to purchase and click Mint.
If you’re paying with a card, select the Card option and proceed.
If you’re paying with crypto, select Crypto as the payment method and click Complete purchase.
If you’re paying with crypto, you’ll be asked to sign and approve the purchase in your wallet.
Once you’ve minted, it may take a moment for the NFT to be revealed.
Post-Mint
Burn, Baby, Burn
All remaining lootboxes will be promptly burned at 2 PM EST on November 15th, because if our pirates can’t have ‘em, nobody can. Yarr!
Opening Your Lootbox
After you mint, you’ll be the proud owner of one or many Clockwork Lootboxes, each filled with five pirate treasures. You can open your lootbox starting November 21 on OpenSea.
Craft Your Ship to Set Sail
After claiming your pirate goodies, head over to the Captain & Company Shipyard to craft your ships and prepare for the high seas. Here at the shipyard, you can assemble your resources to craft your ship, the most essential of worldly objects for any true pirate Captain. More details will be released closer to November 21!

Captain & Company will be live and playable for limited game play windows starting November 21 — keep yer wits about ye and stay tuned to our official Twitter and Discord channels for updates!
