### Easy Guide to reward Combinations:

There have been many questions about combining rewards, so here’s a quick and simple guide to help.

#### Understanding Phases and Tiers

The test net has **2 phases**, and each phase has **2 tiers**, meaning there are **4 rewards in total**:

*   **Phase 1, Tier 1** (already distributed)
    
*   **Phase 1, Tier 2** (already distributed)
    
*   **Phase 2, Tier 1** (not released yet)
    
*   **Phase 2, Tier 2** (not released yet)
    

#### How Combinations Work

Each on its own gives you an allocation. However, if you combine specific of the same tier, you get a _higher_ allocation.

1.  **Phase 1, Tier 1** + **Phase 2, Tier 1** = **Gold, Tier 1** (higher allocation)
    
2.  **Phase 1, Tier 2** + **Phase 2, Tier 2** = **Silver, Tier 2** (higher allocation)
    

#### Important Rules:

*   **Tiers must match** for a combination to work (Tier 1 with Tier 1 or Tier 2 with Tier 2).
    
*   **Phases must be different** (you can’t combine two from the same phase).
    
*   **Each reward gives an allocation** on its own, but combining gives an _extra allocation._
    

#### Examples:

*   **User A** has **Phase 1, Tier 2** and **Phase 2, Tier 1**. They will get one Tier 1 and one Tier 2 allocation (no combination, so no extra allocation).
    
*   **User B** has **Phase 1, Tier 1** and **Phase 2, Tier 1**. They can combine them to get a **Gold NFT** (2 Tier 1 allocations + _extra_).
    
*   **User C** has **Phase 1, Tier 2** and **two Phase 2, Tier 2**s. They can combine **Phase 1, Tier 2** with **one Phase 2, Tier 2** to get a **Silver** (2 Tier 2 + _extra_), while the other **Phase 2, Tier 2** remains uncombined. So the total allocation will be (2 Tier 2 + _extra_) + 1 Tier 2 allocation since the user has 3 Tier 2 allocation in total.
