Your ability to earn in the Upland Metaverse is a direct function of your engagement in the game. By completing tasks during each Upland season, you can increase the amount of UPX that you will earn for the following season. The minimum base earnings is set to 4.9% annually and players have the ability to increase their earnings to 15.19% (3.1x the base earnings!). This page will detail everything you need to know about how to increase your earnings. Check out this video to learn the pros and cons of this earning method.
To increase your earnings from the base, you must complete tasks. Even by completing only one task you are able to increase your earnings. From the list below, for each completed task you will increase the earnings for the following season (up to 5 tasks) taking your property yields to 14.7%. Complete 12 of the 16 tasks to earn the maximum of 15.19% yield. If you are concerned about completing tasks, here are some strategies you could adopt that are not based around chasing property earnings. Furthermore, use our Seasonal UPX Earnings Calculator to calculate your potential earnings.
- 0 Tasks completed results in the minimum base earnings of 4.9% annual earnings.
- 1 Task Complete (Multiplier 1.2x) results in a 5.88% annual earning.
- 2 Tasks Completed (Multiplier 1.5x) boosts the earnings to 7.35%.
- 3 Tasks Completed (Multiplier 2x) boosts the earnings to 9.8%.
- 4 Tasks Completed (Multiplier 2.5x)boosts the earnings to 12.25%.
- 5 Tasks Completed (Multiplier 3x) boosts the earnings to 14.7%.
- Complete 12 of 16 tasks (Multiplier 3.1x): boosts the earnings to 15.19%.
There are 6 seasons, each on starting on the first of every even month (February, April, June, August, October, December) and each season lasts 6 weeks. This is the period of time that you have to complete tasks to increase your yields for the next season. The yield determined for the following season is applied also for the 2 week downtime between the seasons. For example, if you complete 4 tasks during the frost season (February 1st – March 15th), your earnings between April 1st – May 31st will be 12.25% annually of your total property mint value (plus all relevant collection boosts). If during the Genesis season (June 1st – July 15th) you decide not to complete any tasks, your yield for August 1st – September 30th will reset to the base 4.9% yield.
