Buy SAND: Raiders of Sophie Crown – SAND Market

New Tech on the Tech Tree

Adventuring on the oceans of sand on Sophie is a difficult task even for the best Raiders. Hordes of zombies in long-abandoned towns, hostile mechs, sandworms, and worst of all, other Raiders are all attempting to stifle your progress. Luckily, the Tech Tree can help level the odds.

By researching brand-new parts for your trampler, you essentially become better suited to address the challenges of the desert. However, these parts come at a steep cost, whether it's in materials or Crowns. Fortunately, trusted sellers from PlayerAuctions, an independent marketplace, can help with your in-game financial situation.

How to earn Crowns

Amidst the endless ocean of sand, derelict towns and half-sunken vessels litter the planet's surface. These locations house untold, forgotten treasures ripe for the taking. Plundering these locations is just one way to amass a fortune in Crowns.

The other way is to pirate other players. Because of the hidden wealth on Sophie, it has garnered a lot of attention, with Raiders constantly dropping in and out. The ones on the way out are usually full of hard-earned loot that's just waiting to be taken. For the devious and daring few, raiding another player's Trampler may provide a large sum of Crowns or a swift end.

Best Purchases with Crowns

The best way to spend Crowns is to use them on the Tech Tree. As you progress through the Tech Tree tiers, you'll find that each upgrade costs exponentially more. Rather than spending it on store supplies, use Crowns to gain a long-term advantage through the tech tree. Here are some suggestions on which to upgrade first:

• Trampler Chassis: Unlocking new chassis allows you to create different layouts for your trampler. Other chassis are much larger and wider, while others are small; each one has its own set of pros and cons.
• Shovel: A simple tool, yet invaluable when exploring the harsh dunes of Sophie. The shovel lets you dig up hidden treasures from suspicious-looking dunes.
• Trampler Cannons: More firepower lets you take down enemy Tramplers faster.
• Trampler Reactor: The Reactor is the heart of the trampler, providing the energy needed to move these gargantuan machines. Upgrading this makes it more durable and lets you put even more stuff on the trampler.
• Battering Ram: A great defensive and offensive upgrade that lets you become a full-on pirate. This upgrade lets you ram your trampler into your enemies and initiate boarding.
