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 all 10 of the 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 all 10 tasks (Multiplier 3.1x): boosts the earnings to 15.19%. Also obtain the completionist badge. Burning a season pass will grant you a wildcard token, enabling you to miss one task this season (excluding the season long residents or influence score missions)
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. Every week there are 2 new tasks announced that players can complete in the upcoming week. Each new set of missions are announced on Mondays, with them beginning on Tuesdays at 9AM PT. Only the current week’s missions can be completed, missed missions cannot be recovered and are gone for good and you will lose out on the opportunity to get the rewards from it retroactively.
Below is the list of tasks that one can complete that will count towards boosting your earnings for the Frost season. Note this list is subject to change from season to season, so make sure to remain engaged.
The Frost season is the period of time that you have to complete tasks to increase your yields for the next Blossom 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 Harvest season (October 1st – November 15th), your earnings between December 1st – January 31st will be 12.25% annually of your total property mint value (plus all relevant collection boosts). If during the Harvest season you decide not to complete any tasks, your yield for December 1st – January 31st will reset to the base 4.9% yield.
You may want to refrain from collecting your UPX earnings before the season starts, learn why here.
