# AXIS ARC-Forge - In Game

Every **AXIS ARC-Forge** Model is a unique design. There are a total of 27 Models across 5 Rarity Classes, plus an additional 5 E9 Limited Edition models. The higher the Class, the rarer the ARC, and the higher the Model within that class, the more rare that Model is.

| ARC-Forge Type | ARC-Forge Category | Rarity Class | # of Models |

| AXIS-REC       | (Recreational)     | Class 1      | 7           |
| AXIS-H         | (Hobby)            | Class 2      | 5           |
| AXIS-S         | (Serious)          | Class 3      | 5           |

There are a variety of considerations when operating an NFT **AXIS ARC-Forge:**

* [**Staking Material (token)**](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/arc-forge-science/arcforge-staking) - ARCs require staked **Alloy Token $NIOZ** to operate. The token is consumed over time to generate NFT Parts.&#x20;
* [**Time** ](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/the-build#build-time)- Every ARC-Forge Class has a unique Build Time range. When the time completes, a new NFT Part is produced. With every part created there is slight wear & tear on the ARC-Forge. The minimum and maximum build time increases with the number of completed builds. The ARC can be Refurbished to restart this increasing build time, however it will never be as good as a brand-new ARC. *More on this later*.
* [**Risk** ](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/the-build#evaluation-stages)- Every build on every ARC-Forge has a certain risk of malfunction.
* [**Control** ](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/arc-forge-science/arcforge-functions)- Turn them **on and** **off**, select an [**Eco-Mode**](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/arc-forge-science/arcforge-functions), **Multi-Build** or **Cancel** a build.
* [**Attentiveness** ](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/upgrade-parts/upgrades)- By caring for an ARC-Forge through [Upgrades](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/upgrade-parts/arcforge-upgrades), the performance is improved. And by [***Refurbishing*** ](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/arc-forge-science/arc-forge-refurbishing)your ARC, your build time resets.
* [**Work** ](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/upgrade-parts/contract-bonus)- It is your job to fabricate parts. Consistency (Online Time) is rewarded with a [bonus](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/upgrade-parts/contract-bonus).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Alloy Space** features all 3D art but it is an idle NFT 2D game. All gameplay takes place within a browser. Moving into a 3D space with 3D ARFs is the long-term vision.
