# The Story Continued By [Milady Maker X ](https://paragraph.com/@milady-maker-x) · 2022-08-20 --- Milady X LITE Explained ----------------------- As much as it seems that there is little to no thought put into our launch strategy and overall growth strategy each phase is curated meticulously. The _Milady Maker X LITE_ collection idea came about after receiving numerous amount of feedback, 1:1 requests, and additional traits. This then sparked a rabbit hole of beginning to aggregate the most like Milady Maker traits and recreate some iconic community member’s Milady. So we compiled a long list and got to work. This seemed like a viable solution but there was a gnawing idea in the back of the collective’s head… **WHAT IF PEOPLE DON’T TRULY IDENTIFY WITH THEIR MILADY X** I mean why even don a NFT if you don’t connect with it on some level or see a little bit of yourself in it or the community. That is when we had the idea… the idea that will charter a new direction for the project and create a new standard for derivative projects. The first step in this idea was to drop _Milady Maker X LITE._ A free collection with 0% OpenSea royalties used to onboard everyone who is interested in the community without a paywall. The LITE traits were purposely reduced and distributed evenly. Milady Maker X Pill Explained ----------------------------- We will make this simple for everyone… you will need _Milady Maker X LITE_ in order to purchase a _Milady Maker X Pill_. **There will be 1000 _Milady Maker X Pill_ NFTs available for Ξ0.0888 at a random date idk when we feel like it.** Oh yeah and you need to hold a _Milady Maker X LITE_ to be able to mint (hope you didn’t dump them all). Okay? But wtf why even mint this when you already have a _Milady Maker X LITE_? Well anon… let’s get one thing straight. We really do not care if you mint it or not. If you would like to don the free _Milady Maker X LITE_ then do so and ignore this completely. **In short the _Milady Maker X Pill_ will allow you to put in a custom request for a 10 trait _Milady Maker X_. For each custom request 1 _Milady Maker X Pill_ and 1 _Milady Maker X LITE_ will need to be burned.** A _Milady X LITE_ is required to be burned in order to keep the collection in equilibrium. There will only ever be 1000 _Milady Maker X_ ever whether it be LITE or custom. Milady Maker X Custom --------------------- So it is already known you will have to burn 2 different Milady X NFTs in order to submit a custom _Milady Maker X_ request. This will explain a bit more about how the traits will be handled and the rarity maintained. Each custom request is allotted 10 total traits. These traits can be selected from the categories of original Milady Maker traits: * Background * Earring * Eyes * Face Decoration * Glasses * Hair * Hat * Neck/Necklace * Race * Shirt With an allotment of 10 you would be able select 1 of each trait but mix and matching is allowed in case you really want those double earrings and face tats. Alright… that’s cool… but how do we enforce rarity? Wouldn’t everyone go for Alien race? Yeah obviously the rare original Milady Maker traits would be sought out and requested time and time again. That is why we are using a 1:10 ratio for the amount of times a trait can be used across all the custom Milady Maker X’s. Here is an example: * There are 133 Alien race traits in the original 10k Milady Maker collection. * That means only 13 custom requests can select the Alien race trait and it will be on a first come first serve basis. **This system was crafted to reward early supporters and not have them rely purely on RNG to get the Milady Maker X they would most identify with.** **Better get your custom Milady Maker X request in soon for the coveted traits anon.** --- *Originally published on [Milady Maker X ](https://paragraph.com/@milady-maker-x/the-story-continued)*
