Discovery
Overview
Discovery is a key adventure type in Derpetonia, similar to Research from Season 1. Through Discovery, players can obtain Tomes, powerful artifacts used to initiate rituals that summon Vamps.
⏳ How Discovery Works
Discovery takes 24 hours to complete.
On completion, players receive one tome.
Players can only hold one tome at a time.
To start a new Discovery, the current tome must be:
Used (to perform a ritual), or
Discarded.
Note: Tomes expire after 14 days, so plan your rituals wisely!
📜 About Tomes
Tomes are magical items used to summon Vamp NFTs via rituals.
There are 7 types of tomes, each with its own rarity and ritual count.
A tome’s rarity determines which ranks of Vamps it can create.
Tome supply is limited by the number of rituals that can be performed with it.
As rituals are completed, the tome’s availability decreases, not based on how many are found, but how many are used.

Each tome’s drop rate reflects how rare and valuable it is.
🧨 When Tomes Become Useless
A tome becomes useless when all its associated Vamp NFTs have been minted.
It is then removed from the pool of discoverable tomes.
Drop rates for the remaining tomes are rebalanced to maintain fairness.
🔁 Ongoing Adjustments
As the adventure progresses:
Removed tomes will be excluded from Discovery.
Drop rates of remaining tomes will dynamically rebalance.
Ensures fairness and encourages players to engage with still-available rituals.
🎯 This dynamic system keeps gameplay fresh and focused on what’s still available, while preserving the rarity and pacing of vamp creation.
