Upland Tips and Tricks to Improve Your NFT Property Trading Experience
Upland is a game that has recently been getting attention due to the proliferation of all things metaverse. In this game, users can mint and purchase virtual properties as NFTs, and then sell them to other players on the free market. The ownership of these assets is supported by the blockchain, in which the transaction history of any given property can always be examined for the sake of transparency. Further, these virtual lots are officially marked as properties of their buyers as long as they keep a valid Upland visa
The core gameplay in Upland is just that; buying and owning properties. And once you become a full-fledged Uplander, after reaching a net worth of 10,000 UPX, your properties will belong to you permanently, without the need for renewing your visa on a weekly basis. Plus, as an Uplander, you’ll gain access to the aforementioned market, in which you can list and trade your properties either for profit or for acquiring more lots. And as you collect more properties under your belt, you’ll be able to complete collections, which are in-game challenges whose completion increases the passive revenue generated by your assets, and will also grant you a flat amount of UPX for every collection that you complete.
Upland is quite simple to understand, though it can be a bit intimidating for beginners, considering that there’s actual real money to be made here. In this sense, if you want to get a good start, then keep in mind the following Upland tips and tricks.
Multiply Your Properties by Playing on BlueStacks
The NFT property market in Upland is a very competitive field, with players all over the cities exploring and purchasing more lots for their collections. As such, it’s not uncommon for new players to have significant issues finding available lots after purchasing their first starter property, which can understandably put a damper on their collection goals.
However, what if you didn’t have to conform to playing on a single account? What if you could play on multiple Upland accounts at the same time, and trade your properties between them, giving you a leg up in the neverending struggle to trade and collect lots? By playing Upland on PC with BlueStacks, this is not only quite achievable but it’s also very easy to do so in just a few clicks.
With the BlueStacks Instance Manager, you can create multiple instances of our emulator, and use these to access the game on several different accounts at the same time, which in turn will give you easier access to owning multiple properties across your accounts, and then manage or trade them however you want.
Check out our Instance Manager usage guide for Upland to learn more about how to use this feature to your advantage in this game.
Remember to Stamp Your Visa!
This is not so much a tip as it is an important reminder: Remember to stamp your visa at least once a week to ensure you don’t lose your properties. This renewal can be performed at any moment with just a single click on your profile screen, and can be done as many times as you want, though realistically you only need to do it on a weekly basis. Still, it’s never a bad habit to renew your visa every day after you finish playing, just in case you’re not able to play again for a few days.
To renew your visa, simply click on your avatar on the top left of the screen, and then click on the green “Renew your Upland Visa” button.
Rush to Obtain Uplander Status
This goes in direct contrast with our previous entry since, as long as your net worth is under 10,000 UPX, you will need to stamp your Upland visa in order to continue owning and acquiring properties in-game. However, once you surpass this threshold, you’ll earn your full-fledged Uplander status, which forgoes the need to renew this visa, so that you’ll never have to worry about forfeiting your assets if you forget to log in for over a week.
Renewing your visa is simple enough and only takes a few seconds, at most. However, the most important part about obtaining your Uplander status is that this will give you access to the market, which is where you’ll be trading your NFT assets for either other properties, for UPX, or even for USD.
Understandably, gaining access to your Uplander status, and the free market to trade your NFTs, should be one of your biggest priorities. So get out there and start adding some properties to your collections!
Earning UPX
UPX is the main form of currency used in Upland to acquire properties and is also one of the main forms of payment for buying and selling NFTs in the marketplace. As such, acquiring lots of UPX will be pivotal for your continued success in this property trading game. Luckily, there are a few easy, yet slow, ways to acquire UPX in Upland.
The first is simply by the passive income generated by your properties, which consists of 14.7% of the property’s base minted value, across a period of 12 months. For example, if you minted an NFT for 10,000 UPX, then it’ll generate 1,470 UPX over the next year. Furthermore, these revenues are generated in three-hour periods, which can be freely claimed at any moment. It’s important to note that you can increase the revenue generated by any of your properties by adding them to collections. Additionally, you will receive a flat UPX bonus every time you complete a collection.
The second method is by far the most popular in Upland, and it’s simply by trading your NFTs on the marketplace. In this place, you can sell your properties for a markup on what paid initially and score some profits on your initial transaction. The most popular and expensive lots are those that are near important structures like airports or other landmarks, as well as the properties that are part of a collection. These factors all contribute to driving up the price of any NFTs.
The third and last way of making UPX is when another player “sends” their avatar to your property, allowing them to pay a small fee (usually between 10 and 100 UPX) to instantly travel to the lot’s address.
