These ranges are called TIER: {% embed url="" %} Click for more information. {% endembed %} Only characters, weapons and skills **TIER 4** onwards will be NFT, in the case of characters, some can only be obtained in the marketplace or in the pre-sale of these. You will be able to see characters similar to yours, the TIER will be reflected in the basic statistics of this. They will determine how high you are from the top in this apocalypse and if you are a teacher or a novice, to climb this **Rank** you must have characters or weapons (Skills do not add as a requirement to calculate your TIER) of the necessary TIER but you must meet the following requirements: * Have 3 or more Weapons of the same TIER * Have 2 or more Characters of the same TIER When we say the same TIER, it is that those 5 items (3 or more weapons and 2 or more Characters) have to be in the same TIER. In case you do not meet this requirement, a weapon or character from a TIER counts as 2 weapons or characters from the previous tier (in TIER value). ### *Examples* #### *Example 1.* **\***Have 2 **TIER 4** characters and 3 **TIER 5** weapons = TIER 4 account **--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------** #### Example 2. \*Have 1 **TIER 4** Character and 1 **TIER 4** Weapon = TIER 2 Account *Explanation:* 1 **TIER 4** Character = 2 **TIER 3** Characters :white\_check\_mark: 1 **TIER 4** Weapon = 2 **TIER 3** Weapons :x: (Does not meet the requirement of 3 weapons of the same tier yet) *When this happens, one more tier must be lowered until the requirement is met, so:* 2 **TIER 3** Characters = 4 **TIER 2** Characters :white\_check\_mark: 2 **TIER 3** weapons = 4 **TIER 2** weapons :white\_check\_mark: With this you already fulfill the main requirement. ![Example #1 and #2](https://1165712790-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MkpTLIKbYb0wyBnkf-d%2Fuploads%2Fv5AcOHxj0I3iPYfRxv4I%2Fefe.jpg?alt=media\&token=15611b8f-d1a0-40f0-85e3-116b80c370fe) **--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------** #### **Example 3** \*Have 1 TIER 3 Character and 5 TIER 5 Weapons = TIER 2 Account (does not meet the requirement of 2 characters of the same TIER). *Explanation:* 1 **TIER 3** character = 2 **TIER 2** characters :white\_check\_mark: 5 **TIER 5** Weapons = 10 **TIER 4** Weapons = 20 **TIER 3** Weapons = 40 **TIER 2** Weapons :white\_check\_mark: As you can see, the TIER calculation will go down to where the main requirement is met 2 characters from the same tier and 3 weapons from the same tier. **--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------** #### Example 4 \*Have 1 **TIER 8** Character and 3 **TIER 6** Weapons = TIER 6 Account. *Explanation:* 3 **TIER 6** Weapons :white\_check\_mark: 1 **TIER 8** Character :x: = 2 **TIER 7** Characters :x: = 4 **TIER 6** Characters :white\_check\_mark: ![graphic explanation](https://1165712790-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MkpTLIKbYb0wyBnkf-d%2Fuploads%2F5t0QKMwa1cuHLy25nwaZ%2Fwe.jpg?alt=media\&token=8b0ba836-7dd7-4cf9-848d-88110817cb32) **--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------** #### Example 5 \*Have 2 TIER 4 Characters and 0 Weapons = TIER 1 Account. *Explanation:* 0 Weapons :x: 2 **TIER 4** characters. *This last example is the most drastic, if you do not have weapons or characters, your tier cannot be calculated and you will be in the initial TIER.* **--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------** ### Getting a better TIER The easiest way to obtain Weapons and Characters from a TIER that you need is the marketplace or simply by [merging](/teamzwhitepaper/tiers/levels-and-fusion.md#mergers-tier-4-onwards) your characters and weapons (only TIER 4 onwards), but there is always a plan B for those who want to get things freehand and that. is to raise the TIER by finding Weapons and Characters in the missions game mode, if you receive a [chest ](/teamzwhitepaper/gameplay/chests.md#chest-with-nft)with a higher TIER and the chest contains a non-NFT character, weapon or ability you can open it by paying a predetermined ZCoin commission up to TIER 3 chests, in TIER 4 (NFT) chests onwards it will be paid in BCash: TIER 1 > TIER 2 Chest: **2400** **ZCoin** TIER 2 > TIER 3 Chest: **3200 ZCoin** TIER 3 > TIER 4 Chest: **250 BCash** TIER 4 > TIER 5 Chest: **550 BCash** TIER 5 > TIER 6 Chest: **670 BCash** TIER 6 > TIER 7 Chest: **1050 BCash** TIER 7 > TIER 8 Chest: **2000 BCash** \*If you receive a chest with a TIER equal to yours, the following values are: TIER 1 > 1500 ZCoin. TIER 2 > 3000 ZCoin. TIER 3 > 4600 ZCoin. TIER 4 > **280 BCash.** TIER 5 > **600 BCash.** TIER 6 > **750 BCash.** TIER 7 > **1200 BCash.** TIER 8 > **2300 BCash**. **Whenever you get a TIER chest greater than yours, it will be a character, weapon or ability.**
