¶ Introduction
To open festivities, we will start August with the Presale of Mantris Premium Packs, following the final Airdrop of Mantris Card Shards.
But it is just the beginning! We are also excited to specify an existing effect of the Mint Pass and unveil a new one.
We would also like to inform you that the activation fees for your Trisel cards will only be effective upon the launch of the Mantris season. However, we recommend that you make the necessary arrangements to ensure compliance by using official channels such as the marketplace for any exchanges.
This article is full of crucial information, presented as clearly as possible and accompanied by visuals that you can share to expand the Cross The Ages family.
We wish you an excellent reading.

¶ The Effects of Mint Pass
¶ The 5th effect of the Mint Pass, new specificity
Remember that the 5th effect of the Mint Pass bring you a big advantage in your CTA adventure, as it grants you Presale Tickets that allow you to purchase Premium Packs for upcoming seasons.
Regarding that, we are excited to reveal that it will offer you the incredible opportunity to halve the cost of Premium Packs for all future seasons.
Let's see the example of the Packs from Mantris season 2, which are initially announced at $100 / $250 / $500.
Thanks to your Presale Ticket coming from the Mint Pass, you will be able to get these packs with a 50% discount, i.e., $50 / $125 / $250. Presale Tickets are NFTs, making them an excellent way to invite your friends or community to jump into CTA at a reduced cost or simply resell them to allow another player to enjoy this 50% discount.
Reminder: Without a ticket, you cannot purchase presale packs for seasons at a discounted price.
Get ready to live an unforgettable gaming experience and discover the treasures contained in the Premium Packs of future seasons!
¶ The 7th effect of the Mint Pass
The 7th effect of the Mint Pass will allow you to have an immersive and privileged experience during physical events, where you can meet other passionate players and enjoy specific benefits. Whether it's encounters with content creators, demonstrations, or special gifts, the VIP areas of your MINT PASS will offer you memorable moments that you won't forget.
Stay tuned for further announcements!
¶ Mantris Card Shards and Special Color Cards:
The final Airdrop of Mantris Card Shards will be on July 26th, 2023.
Note: This date updates the previous announcement and means that the total Shards airdropped has changed as initially announced in our media (Wiki/Medium), but the supply of Special Color Cards remains the same.
You will have to wait until the launch of the Mantris season to discover the special color cards based on the number of Shards you have collected.
You will need to use your GAME WALLET to obtain your card, so make sure to gather all your Shards on your GAME WALLET before claiming your Special Color Card.
You will be able to trade the Special Color Cards whenever you want, the Mantris Card Shards have no lifetime limit.
