Besides being unique collectibles, **Cryptures** are also valuable due to their importance in Crypture World. They allow players to:

* Collect resources (Wood, Rock, Gold) and NFT lootings from **Adventures**
* Engage **Corrupted forces** in battle for [<img src="https://3602729441-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MkKxmTp0dMsncqDA53n%2Fuploads%2FLnu9B8geOMM0igSB4PMw%2Fcwt.png?alt=media&#x26;token=6027c9d8-c029-43c6-81d2-775dc521b612" alt="" data-size="line">CWT](https://whitepaper.cryptureworld.com/crypture-world/about-the-game/governance-token) and other NFT lootings (PvE)
* Protect the Forest Headquarters from enemy **Battle raids** (PvP)
* Initiate **Battle raids** against other players and run the chance to obtain NFT lootings

### Mutable properties

Mutable properties are very important to track **the state of Cryptures in the game**. If you are buying Cryptures in the secondary market, you must be well versed in how those properties can impact market value.

#### Experience (XP)

Experience is gained during every Adventure and in PvE battle. When the XP stat reaches the maximum XP of a particular level, a Crypture will effectively "level up". Each time it becomes  progressively harder to reach the next one.

**Levels**

Crypture levels range between 1 and 60. At level 10 Forest Cryptures must undergo [Evolution](https://whitepaper.cryptureworld.com/crypture-world/how-to-play/evolutions) and a new Tier 2 NFT is minted. Note that Magma Cryptures do not undergo evolution at this time.

#### Health (HP)

By default, Cryptures have full HP. After being wounded in battle, this stat will reflect their new health. Max Health is based on the level of the Crypture. The Healing feature can increase HP up to the upper limit.

**Attack**

The Attack stat determines the amount of *unmitigated* damage that will be inflected upon an enemy. Max Attack is the maximum attainable Attack value and it increases based on the Crypture's level. The Training feature can increase Attack up to the upper limit.

**Defense**

The Defense stat is a *damage mitigation* factor of a Crypture. Max Defense is the maximum attainable Defense value and it increases based on the Crypture's level. The Training feature can increase Defense up to the upper limit.
