Train of the Century Releases Run Mods Update

Train of the Century Run Mods Update

Train of the Century is a WAX blockchain-based game where players trade NFT cards of Trains, locomotives, railcards and own and manage different kinds of trains and send them traveling between cities. The developers of Train of Century have announced the addition of a new tab to the in-game market called Run Mods. Run Mods are NFTs that increase the mod-specific attributes for a train run.

Run Mod update went live on September 2, 2022. The First Run Mod Weekend was held on September 3rd & 4th. 

What are Run Mods?

Run Mods are NFTs that can be used only once and impact the attributes of a Rail Run. The Run Mods can be acquired through limited sales and bought from the in-game marketplace using Tocium token. The Run Mods can only be used when a train is in transit, and once the Mod has been confirmed, it burns the NFT and can no longer be used. Therefore, for every Rail Run, only one Mod can be used.

The Run Mods can be accessed only after a train dispatches, and you can view a “+” button and ETA indicator on the left side. On clicking the “+” button, you will be directed to the Run Mods menu. Here you can select and burn a Run Mod to increase attributes for that run. There are two types of Run Mods, Essences and Summons.

Summons are another type of Run Mods. Burning a Summon NFT will guarantee an encounter with the Summon’s NPC. The different types of Summon NFTs are The Stranger, Mechanic, Otto, Thomas, and Commodity Culprit.
