Locked $YIELD
Locked $YIELD Mechanics
In the Yield Island ecosystem, rewards for most in-game activities are distributed in two forms:
Unlocked $YIELD: Immediately usable and harvestable tokens.
Locked $YIELD: An in-game currency that plays a crucial role in the gameplay loop and can only be unlocked through specific tasks [ Treasure Island, Pirate Bank ]
How Locked $YIELD Works
For every $YIELD you earn in the game (outside of the Pirate Council), you also earn a proportion of Locked $YIELD.
The amount of Locked $YIELD received is determined by a set multiplier that varies with the current epoch. The multiplier decreases over time to ensure a balanced economy as the game progresses.
1 Epoch = 7 Days / 168 Hours

Unlocking Locked $YIELD
To convert your Locked $YIELD into Unlocked $YIELD, you must take part in the Long Voyage, a procedure requiring significant sacrifice.
Requirements for Unlocking:
Sacrifice 2 Pirates: Two of your crew members will be permanently removed from your fleet and will be sent on a long journey
Sacrifice 1 Ship: A ship must also be decommissioned for the journey.
The entire crew is sent on a Long Voyage, and upon completion, the Locked $YIELD is converted into Unlocked $YIELD, making it available for immediate use in the ecosystem.
