Big Time Heats Up with 600K $BIGTIME Crafting Event

Summer may be around the corner, but things are already heating up in the world of blockchain games. The free-to-play action RPG Big Time has just launched its “It’s Almost Summer” event, giving players a chance to craft, compete, and climb the leaderboard for a share of 600,000 $BIGTIME tokens. If you're into crafting gear, optimizing your loadout, and flexing your skills in a player-driven economy—this is your time to shine.

Let’s break down everything you need to know about the event and how to get a piece of that sweet $BIGTIME reward pool.

What Is the “It’s Almost Summer” Event?

From June 9 to June 23 (6 PM UTC), Big Time is running a limited-time crafting event that challenges players to earn leaderboard points by crafting specific in-game items. The top 150 players will split a 600k $BIGTIME token prize pool. Not bad for a few weeks of grinding and crafting, right?

The event revolves around crafting PreSeason items, including:

• Weapons

• Armor set pieces

• Hourglasses

• Decorations

But there’s a catch: not just any decorations will do. Only those from Egyptian, Arthurian, and Evermore themes will count toward your leaderboard score.

Craft for Points, Climb the Leaderboard

The race to the top is simple in theory—craft more, earn more. But if you’re aiming for those juicy top leaderboard spots, strategy matters. Here’s the playbook:

• Craft full PreSeason armor sets like the Mantle of the Onyx Throne or Vestments of the Cosmic Dominion

• Each completed set (Uncommon rarity or higher, including head, shoulders, chest, gloves, legs, and title) earns 15,000 bonus points

• You can do this twice, for a total of 30,000 bonus points

So, if you're trying to compete seriously, this is non-negotiable. These sets are your golden ticket.

Weekly Challenges and Midweek Madness: More Ways to Score

Big Time isn’t just about endless crafting. The devs have added extra layers of engagement through weekly and midweek challenges.

Weekly Challenge #1 (Ends June 16, 6 PM UTC):

Complete these 3 tasks to snag some additional leaderboard points:

• Open 2 Scarecrow chests → +750 points

• Craft 2 Hourglasses (any rarity) → +1000 points

• Open the boss chest of 4 Prestige Portals → +1000 points

These tasks are low-lift but high-value for players looking to break into the top 150.

Midweek Madness #1 (Until June 12, 6 PM UTC):

Want a faster boost up the ranks? Take advantage of:

• 20% more Gilded Obulus when refining Tattered Obulus

• x2 Leaderboard Points when crafting PreSeason Decorations from the specified themes

It’s called “Madness” for a reason—don’t miss this power-up window.

Getting Started: What You Need to Join

Even though Big Time is free to play during its Open Access phase, participating in the event requires owning NFTs. Here's your checklist to get started:

• SPACE – Your personal slice of the metaverse in Big Time. You build your crafting empire here.

• Workshop NFTs – There are three kinds:

  • Forges (craft weapons)

  • Armories (craft armor)

  • Time Wardens (create Hourglasses)

• $BIGTIME Tokens – Needed for crafting cosmetic collectibles.

• Cosmetic Shards – Dropped from enemies, refined using Workshops.

• Time Crystals – Premium in-game currency used for crafting Hourglasses.

Want to build the best? You'll need the right tools. All NFTs are available on the Open Loot marketplace.

The Game Behind the Event: Big Time

If you haven’t heard of Big Time yet, now’s the time to get familiar. This game is a shining example of what makes blockchain gaming so revolutionary. It blends third-person RPG combat, procedurally generated dungeons, and a fully player-owned economy powered by NFTs and crypto tokens.

What sets Big Time apart is its crafting and customization system, deeply intertwined with its token ecosystem. You don’t just earn loot—you own it, craft it, and trade it.

VIP Cosmetic Score: The New Update You Shouldn’t Miss

Right before the event launched, Big Time dropped a VIP Program update that gives Workshops even more value.

Here’s what changed:

• Workshops now add bonus points to your VIP Cosmetic Score at every 10-level milestone

• The higher your Workshop’s rarity and level, the more points you get

• Your VIP tier goes up with your Cosmetic Score + $BIGTIME token holdings

Higher VIP tiers = More benefits, including access to exclusive rewards and enhanced crafting capabilities.

So, investing in better Workshops doesn’t just help in this event—it pays off long-term.
