The earning boost
What raises the part of your share you are paid: six things take the boost to 100%, where you are paid all of it.
Your power sets your share of the stream. Your earning boost sets how much of that share you are actually paid. Every account is always paid a base part of its share. The boost goes from 0% to 100% and raises that: at 100% you are paid your whole share. What you are not paid is not taken by the team and not given to another player. It stays in the pool and is shared again on the following days.
The six parts
Six things make up the boost. Each part is all or nothing: it adds its whole share the moment you are there, and nothing before. Together they add up to 100%.
| Part | Boost | You have it when |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit | 25% | You have deposited 1,000,000 CONVOY in all, over any number of deposits |
| Spend | 18% | You have spent 150,000 CONVOY in the game in all |
| No withdrawal | 17% | Your account is 24 h old and you have not withdrawn in the last 24 h |
| Hold | 20% | You hold 1,000,000 CONVOY now: your site balance and your unclaimed balance together |
| Link X | 10% | Your X account is linked. Once, and it stays |
| Link Discord | 10% | Your Discord account is linked. Once, and it stays |

What counts
- Deposits count as they arrive in your site balance, in CONVOY, whether you sent CONVOY or paid with ETH. They are counted for good: withdrawing later does not take the deposit part away.
- Spending is every CONVOY you pay in the game: the pack, vehicles and couriers, items, shift slots, the CONVOY part of a level and gold packs. What you pay in gold does not count, because there is no CONVOY in it. It is counted for good too.
- Holding is looked at each time you are paid. Your site balance and your unclaimed balance are added together, so leaving your share unclaimed does not lower it, and claiming does not raise it. A withdrawal you have asked for is no longer held.
- No withdrawal is not there on the first day: it arrives once your account is 24 h old. Asking for a withdrawal takes it away for 24 h, and each new withdrawal starts the wait again. A withdrawal whose voucher expired unused, so the amount came back, does not count.
- X and Discord are linked from the live share page. An X or Discord account counts for one game account only. The game keeps the account's id and name and nothing else, it cannot post for you, and the link is never a way to sign in: only your wallet opens your account.
When the boost is read
The stream keeps count of what it owes you second by second, and pays it into your unclaimed balance at a few moments: when one of your shifts starts, when your last running shift ends, and when you claim. Your boost at that moment is the boost for that payment. So reaching a part pays off from the next payment on, for everything not paid yet.
A withdrawal is the exception that protects you: before the withdrawal is taken, everything the stream owes you so far is paid at the boost you had. The lower boost only applies to what you earn afterwards.
Examples
| Account | Has | Boost |
|---|---|---|
| A new account | Nothing yet | 0% |
| A day later | No withdrawal | 17% |
| With X and Discord linked | No withdrawal, both links | 37% |
| With the spending done too | No withdrawal, both links, spending | 55% |
| With everything | All six | 100% |
| With everything, after a withdrawal | All but no withdrawal | 83% |
The two caps of the live share come first: the stream works out what it owes you with them, and the boost is applied to that. The claim tax comes after, on what you claim. The live share page shows what you earn an hour at your boost.
Where the rest goes
Nowhere. The CONVOY you are not paid never moves out of the pool. It is part of what the pool holds when the next day starts, so it is in the next day's amount for everyone on a shift, you included. Nothing of it goes to the treasury and nothing is burned.
