Tezos Commons :: Metapals: Caring for your MetaPal, Sanctuary Central, and the Teletubbies

Read More

In our last article about MetaPals, we learned how to sign up and adopt your first pet. This article will cover what goes into taking care of your pet, exploring the Sanctuary, and the current Teletubbies minting event on Tezos.

Getting to Know Your MetaPal

Once you’ve adopted your pet, you’ll immediately notice a newly found Kennel on your screen. The Kennel has a quick access panel to your pet’s Care Index, tracking their well-being by monitoring Appetite, Happiness, and Energy. You’ll also see how much Dark Matter and Essence you’ve collected, along with a blue bar showing your progress leveling up. Use the bell to call your pet back on screen if you’ve dismissed them earlier. The backpack provides quick access to your inventory, and clicking on your pet’s name will pull down a menu from the top of the screen.

Two important buttons in the menu are the daily Check-In and Missions buttons. By checking in daily, you earn streak rewards such as Dark Matter, food items, and wearable accessories for your pet. Completing daily and monthly missions rewards you with similar items. The world button offers quick access to Sanctuary Central, your Backyard, the Boutique, and the Vending Machine.

Taking Care of Your Pet

Your pet’s stats to monitor are Hunger, Happiness, and Energy. Over time, these stats will decrease, and in true Tamagotchi fashion, it’s your responsibility to care for your pet.

Hunger: When your pet gets hungry, open your inventory, select a snack or food item, and drag it to your screen. Your MetaPal will automatically run up to the food and start eating. Once they finish, an indicator will show how much of their Hunger they’ve refilled.

Happiness: Happiness affects your pet’s mood; low happiness means a sad friend. While some foods and snacks can increase Happiness, the best way to improve your pet’s mood is by patting them on the head or petting their body. Move the mouse vertically up and down on their head or horizontally side to side over their body to see a blue meter build-up, indicating an improvement in mood.

Energy: Energy drains slowly over time while your pet is active on or off- screen. You can boost energy by feeding certain foods or sending your pet to bed. Right-click your pet, then click the sleeping crescent moon to make them take a nap. Remember to let them sleep regularly.

Sanctuary Central features the Boutique, Vending Machine, FAQ Building, and Cinema.

Sanctuary Central: The Bustling Activity Center

Next, visit Sanctuary Central, where you’ll find the Pals Boutique for purchasing pet accessories and the Vending Machine for food and snacks. Both shops take Dark Matter as payment, which you earn from daily missions or letting your pet run around your browser. Dark Matter appears as a swirling ball of purple energy to click and collect. Use your mouse wheel to scroll up and down to access other areas of Sanctuary, like the Adoption Center, Sanctuary Station, and the Pawbucks Cafe (under construction).

Pals Boutique: Run by Mittens the Cat, this is where you can customize your pet with unique accessories like outfits and headgear. Access purchased accessories in your inventory and swap them in or out as you like.

Vending Machine: The Vending Machine provides easy access to all kinds of food and snacks for your pet. Hover over each item to see its stats. To feed your pet, simply drag the food onto your browser window and drop it; your pet will automatically start eating.

FAQ Building and Cinema: Next to the Vending Machine is the FAQ building for help with any MetaPal issues or game mechanics questions. The Cinema offers different several theaters to visit and free popcorn while you catch a show.

Sanctuary Station and the Teletubbies Event

On the far left edge of town is Sanctuary Station, your portal to the current event. Clicking on the station takes you to the Official Teletubbies MetaPals Mint Event. In collaboration with WildBrain, this event features 20,000 unique companions available for mint, each with a unique personality impacting behavior and gameplay. Mints are separated into Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary rarities, each with special perks and gameplay benefits. Each companion mint includes a set of randomized and limited edition accessories with their own rarities. Additionally, you can mint Tubby Boxes (small, medium, or large) containing unique event-only accessories. All of which are Tezos NFTs.

To access the mint, click “Adopt Companion” and you’ll be taken to the adoption page. You can switch between companions and accessories using the button on the right. For companions, choose from Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po, and Noo-Noo. The Lucky Dip option provides a random companion from the roster, while The Gang option gives you one of each hand-picked companion, plus a free Small Tubby Box.

On the Accessories mint page, you can mint Tubby Boxes containing limited edition accessories. The Small Tubby Box contains one exclusive accessory, the Medium three, and the Large five. Adjust quantities of Boxes purchased after adding them to your shopping cart. Checkout options include Fiat, Tezos, or Other Crypto.

Choose between Fiat, Tezos, and Other Crypto for your mint.

The Teletubbies companion mint not only provides you with a new companion but also grants early access to exclusive Discord channels, new character reveals, an upgraded Best-Friend list for upcoming launches, airdrops, and priority access to the $PAL token pre-sale.
