Every Zenko Term, Defined

The abundant grind currency, earned mainly from dungeon/raid clears and the AFK Zone, plus a tiny idle trickle. In the 2026-07-01 rework dungeon Gold was tuned ×2.5 so Gold funds nearly everything: eggs, feeding, level-ups, placement slots, and the recipe/Epoch Gold legs. A fresh player starts with 2,500 Gold.Sinks: eggs · feed · level-up · placement slots · gem recipe · Epoch fund

The scarce premium currency. Not bought with Gold — earned by crafting from raid materials (the Gem recipe / Epoch fund), the free weekly Holder Stipend, PvP and event rewards. Gems buy cosmetics, decor, storage upgrades, relic re-rolls, premium eggs, and stamina at the Geo store. Whales who hold ≥100,000 $ZOLANA craft uncapped; everyone else is throttled by a daily pool + holdings allotment.Sinks: cosmetics · decor · storage vault · relic reroll/reforge · premium eggs

The on-chain SPL (Token-2022) token, held in your connected Solana wallet — the game is titled "Zenko" but the token is "$ZOLANA". Spent on premium sinks that route to the treasury and burn: the Gachaponz capsules, marketplace fees, breeding fees (keyed to the offspring's rarity), and an instant full Stamina refill for 150 $ZOLANA. Your held balance also unlocks holder tiers (Gem allotment, Epoch claim caps, the Holder Stipend).Held in wallet · gates holder tiers · instant stamina refill = 150 $ZOLANA

Tier-1 bulk material. The most common drop (4–8 per raid at depth 1). The bulk input to the Gem recipe (50 per Gem) and the primary Forge material — a fresh player forges their first Common relic from Glimmer Dust alone.Farm: every dungeon (bulk of Region I–II)

Tier-2 bulk material (2–5 per raid at depth 1). Note: despite the legacy name this is a crafting material, NOT the removed "Shard" currency. Used in the Gem recipe (25 per Gem) and to gate Uncommon+ relics at the Forge.Farm: every dungeon (weighted Region II–IV)

Tier-3 material — the scarcer bulk input (1–3 per raid at depth 1). Used in the Gem recipe (10 per Gem) and to gate Rare+ relic crafting.Farm: every dungeon (weighted Region IV–V deep)

Tier-4 rare binder — the scarcest material and the true throttle on Gem output. Not a guaranteed quantity: it drops on a per-run chance (base 0.005 × dungeon level, capped at 20%). Needed for the Gem recipe (5 per Gem) and Legendary relics.Farm: deep-raid jackpot + the Epoch fund — the rare one

How much damage a creature can take before it falls. Survivability; pairs with Lifesteal and Ward.

Raw damage output — the core offensive stat and the most heavily weighted in the Power formula (×3).

Reduces incoming damage. In PvP, mitigation follows dmg × 140 / (140 + effective DEF).

Attack speed in battle — higher Agility attacks more often in the real-time Gladiator arena, and acts sooner in dungeon/raid turn resolution.

Earth. Tanky, defense-leaning. The only element with a small idle-Gold bonus (+10%). Beats Aero; weak to Aqua.

Water. Balanced bruisers. Beats Terra; weak to Flora.

Nature. Agile and supportive. Beats Aqua; weak to Ignis.

Fire. High Attack, low Defense — glass-cannon damage. Beats Flora; weak to Aqua.

Air. The fastest element (top Agility). Beats Ignis; weak to Terra.

Premium element. Dark, high-offense. Pairs mutually with Lux on the wheel (each ±20% vs the other).

Premium element. Radiant, well-rounded, home to several of the strongest Mythicals. Pairs mutually with Void.

The walkable social hub, separate from your home island. Houses the shared buildings — Forge, Dungeon gate, Casino, Zothebyz, Gachaponz, Storage vault, the AFK Zone, and NPC shops — and shows other players in real time (tap to visit / friend / wave).

The community Gem-fund event. Players collectively donate Gold + raid materials into live global bars to OPEN an epoch; once open, everyone mints Gems from a shared FCFS pool (rolled small/mid/big: 1,111 / 3,111 / 5,111). Your personal claim cap scales with held $ZOLANA (Newcomer 3 → Holder 10 → Patron 100 → Whale unlimited).

The player-run auction & raffle house, denominated in $ZOLANA or Gems. Merchant hosts pay a $10/mo SOL subscription (30 launch slots), list creatures/relics/cosmetics/eggs/currency, and net 80% of proceeds — the 20% house tax is burned. Anti-snipe extends a lot by 60s on a last-minute bid.

The Zolana Gachaponz capsule machine. A pull rolls 5 independent slots of materials, Gold, relics, or (rarely) cosmetics. Two tiers, priced in $ZOLANA (Standard $5 / Deluxe $10) or Gems (8 / 15); Deluxe also grants a bonus Mystery Egg. It deliberately never drops Gem Catalyst, so it can't loosen Gem scarcity.

Zenko's PvP — a real-time 5v5 arena of live, positioned squad battles (not turn-based), capped at 2 minutes and Elder-only. The old async 3v3 CTB ladder is retired. Two brackets run side by side — 3v3 and 5v5 (the flagship) — each with its own season, champion, and ladder. You get 10 free season tickets per bracket per day (reset 14:00 UTC); a rated win spends one to count toward your seasonal rank, and each bracket settles weekly with its own top-10 Gem split (200 Gems).

A free WEEKLY Gem claim. Everyone at account level ≥5 gets the F2P floor of 4 Gems; holders of ≥10,000 $ZOLANA instead get a concave, hard-capped bonus (10k → 9 · 50k → 20 · 100k → 28 · ≥250k → 40 Gems). No materials or Gold required — holding always pays more, but sub-linearly, so it can't runaway-mint.

A no-spoiler premium surprise egg dropped by deep dungeons, events, and breeding (also the Deluxe Gachaponz bonus). It hatches from a premium-only pool (Rare 35% / Epic 40% / Legendary 25%) with a 5-minute anticipation timer; the species is hidden until the reveal.

The soft throttle on dungeon runs (max 180). Regenerates +1 every 2 min passively, doubled to +1 per minute while resting in the AFK Zone — a full bar refills in about 6 h active / 3 h resting. A raid costs 6–18 stamina by region; you can buy an instant full refill for 150 $ZOLANA.

The campfire rest spot in Town. Parking your trainer banks a boosted Gold bonus (1.5× your hourly rate, capped at 8 h) and recovers Stamina at double the passive rate (+1 / min), both collected when you return.

Where combat relics are crafted from materials. Success chance falls with rarity (Common 100% → Legendary 18%); a failed craft above Common refunds 50% of the inputs. Rare+ relics roll a bonus substat.

The Town building that holds creatures, relics, cosmetics, and eggs out of your active inventories (so they don't count toward active caps). Starts at 100 free slots and upgrades +100 per Gem, up to 10,000.

A squad creature that drops to 0 HP in a dungeon or raid faints and is benched (up to 2 can faint per run) until you pay to revive it. A revive costs Gold that scales with the creature's level — 400 + 400 · level^1.30, ×1.5 for Legendary/Mythical — or a flat 50 $ZOLANA at any level. Over-gearing the content drives faint chance toward 0%.
