# Earn Flares

Flares are Qubit’s in-game progression tokens, used to unlock spell upgrades, expand loadouts, enhance cosmetics, and fuel the long-term development of your characters.

Flares are primarily earned through participation, skill, and commitment, but they can also be purchased using $QUBIT, offering flexibility without undermining our fair-play-to-own philosophy.

## Through staking $QUBIT

By staking $QUBIT tokens and assigning them to your Character NFTs, you can passively generate Flares over time.

* The more you stake, the faster your character earns
* Flares are tied to the character, not the wallet
* Only whole Flares can be claimed (fractions are retained)

{% hint style="success" %}
Staking rewards long-term investment in the ecosystem without giving unfair advantages, no stake, no problem; you can still earn by owning a character and by playing with it.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## By winning matches

Winning battles is the most direct way to earn Flares.

* PvP victories reward your winning Character small Flare boosts
* Higher-tier matches or ranked wins may yield bonus Flares
* Winning multiple matches in a row activates a streak bonus, increasing the amount of Flares you earn each day.

The better you play, the faster you progress.

## By completing tasks (daily, weekly, monthly)

QUBIT features a task system that rewards regular engagement:

* Daily tasks for consistent logins and matches
* Weekly goals tied to play style or role
* Monthly challenges with bigger payouts
* All tasks reward both player XP and Flares (account + character-specific)

{% hint style="success" %}
Tasks are tracked per wallet and per NFT, allowing for both account-level and character-based growth.

## By achieving milestones like kill counts, win streaks, or consistent play

Flares are also rewarded for hitting gameplay milestones, key achievements that reflect your performance and consistency over time. Many of these are tracked through the QUBIT quest system, which includes both automated and curated challenges.

Milestones may include:

* Kill counts (e.g. 100 total eliminations)
* Win streaks, where consecutive victories increase Flare rewards
* Class-based objectives (like “Win 10 matches as Fire-class Mage”)
* Consistency goals, such as playing across multiple days or weeks

{% hint style="info" %}
Some quests are always active, while others rotate weekly or monthly. The scope can range from quick daily goals to long-term achievement-based rewards, giving every type of player something to pursue.

## By completing special quests or events

Special time-limited quests and seasonal events give you another opportunity to earn:

* Participate in co-op challenges, PvE missions, or limited-time modes
* Earn Flares, cosmetics, and recognition through event boards
* Some events may offer exclusive ways to use or reinvest earned Flares
