How much does it cost to start growing in Plant vs. Undead

To start playing the Plant vs. farming game mode. Undead, the minimum investment you need to spend is 5 PVU tokens or around 100 USD .

This is based on the current market price for PVU tokens, which is around $ 20. You can consult the current PVU price at CoinGecko here or on the widget below.

Note that as with any other cryptocurrency, the market price of this token is very volatile and may fluctuate at any time in the future, depending on when you read this article.

What are PVU tokens?

PVU Tokens are the in-game cryptocurrency token of Plant vs. Undead. This is a BEP20 token that works on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

You can use it to exchange for Light Energy or LE, an in-game resource used to purchase items you need for gardening, such as sunflower seeds, watering cans, and scarecrows . More on that below.

To get PVU tokens, you will need to purchase them from a cryptocurrency exchange such as PancakeSwap.

We have a complete step-by-step guide on how to do this here: How to buy Plant vs Undead (PVU) tokens .

After you've played the game for a while, you'll earn a lot of Light Energy (LE) by farming, collecting rewards, and completing daily quests.

These LE can then be converted back to PVU tokens at a rate of LE 100 = 1 PVU, with a 5% fee per exchange.

It's pretty much the play cycle for winning play, although more play modes and features like PVE and PVP battles are coming soon.

What should I do with my initial investment of 5 PVU tokens?

If you have already purchased 5 PVU tokens and transferred them to your MetaMask wallet, the next step is to convert them to LE.

The current exchange rate in the game is 1 PVU = 70 LE. This means that you can get 350 LE with your 5 starting PVU tokens.

There are a few ways to spend those LE 350 when you're just starting out.

As an overview, here are the tools / items you can purchase in the store using LE:

Water - 50 LE, can be used 100 times
Scarecrow - 20 LE, can be used 20 times
Small Pot - 50 LE, used to plant a Sunflower
Big Pot - 100 LE, used for regular NFT plants
Sunflower seedling - 100 LE, gives you 250 LE after 3 days, requires a small pot
Sunflower Mama - 200 LE, gives you 850 LE after 6 days, requires a small pot

Ideally, you'll want to buy at least 1 water set, 1 sunflower sapling, and 1 small pot so that you can start growing your own sunflower and harvest 250 LE after 72 hours.

However, other players recommend that when starting out, only buy one water set for 50 LE at the start.

Then complete the Daily Watering 15 Plots Quest to get your 50 LE and Sun Box reward.

A Sun Box is a “loot box” that has a chance to drop the following:

30% to drop 100x water and 20x scarecrows
30% to drop 2x small pots
30% to drop 1x sunflower sapling
9.9% for dropping 1x Sunflower Mom
0,1% to drop 1x seed

Your next decision on where to spend your remaining LE will then depend on what you get out of the box.

This is how you avoid buying or owning duplicates or excess of an item or tool.

For example, if you got the 2x Small Pots reward, you can buy 1 Sunflower Sapling (100 LE) and 1 Sunflower Mama (200 LE) with your remaining 300 LE.

Another scenario is that if you get 1x Sunflower sapling reward, you will only have to buy 1 small pot to plant it, and you will have an additional 250 LE to buy another small pot and a sunflower mum.

As you can see, you can get the most out of your remaining LE if you base your initial investments on your first Sun Box reward.

This is more effective than if you immediately started buying Tools and Seeds without knowing what your first Sun Box drops are.
