Status-Up Spark Rewards
Spark Rewards for leveling up your Upland Status will be enabled starting Monday, April 11th, at 9:00 AM PT! This means that players who level up will be entitled to an amount of Spark dependent on their current and new levels.
Visitor to Uplander: 0.06 Spark
Uplander to Pro: 0.12 Spark
Pro to Director: 0.6 Spark
Director to Executive: 1.2 Spark
Executive to Chief Executive: 2.4 Spark
Note: Players who level up over multiple tiers will receive the accumulated reward for each previous tier. Status-Up Spark Rewards will be active starting Monday, April 11th, at 9:00 AM PT and will end on Monday, April 18th, at 9:00 AM PT.
Changes to Spark Distribution
To ensure proper distribution of rewards and to limit fraudulent activity, the Upland team will be reviewing all instances of players who leveled up at the conclusion of Spark Week. Once the review has been completed, players will be notified by email and awarded their earned Spark accordingly. This means that Spark will no longer be automatically rewarded upon level up, and will only be dropped at the end of the Status-Up Spark Reward period.
Changes to Alcatraz
Upland strives to create a metaverse for all players to enjoy; our expectations are outlined in our player conduct guide. As a reminder, those found to have engaged in fraudulent activity will be sent to Alcatraz near San Francisco for further review. Additionally, we will be updating some of the restrictions for players in Alcatraz. From now on, players in Alcatraz can no longer mint, buy, or sell properties, earn or stake Spark, or start construction.
Spark Sale
Next Monday, April 11th, at 8:00 AM PT, registration will open for an opportunity to purchase Spark on Tuesday, April 12th, at 9:00 AM PT. Players who register will be selected in batches to purchase varying tiers of Spark.
Boosted Spark Treasures
On Thursday, April 14th, at 9:00 AM PT, the Sparked Up Treasure Tier will go live! This special treasure tier will remain active through next weekend and will conclude on Sunday, April 17th, at 11:59 PM PT. Compete in a competitive treasure hunt tier with a variety of Spark treasure chests to discover. Spark rewards will be higher than our everyday treasure hunts, so you won’t want to miss out on this opportunity to get bonus Spark rewards.
Treasures & Rewards
There will be a total of 4 different treasure chests available for a limited time only, so don’t miss out on your chance to discover them! Each chest has corresponding rewards assigned to them depending on the tier of the city that the player is hunting in.
Note: Due to the release of updated treasure tiers, the amount of Spark for each chest and tier has been updated. There are currently no Tier 3 Treasure Hunting cities in Upland.
Reward Distribution
Expect to see Spark deposited into your account a day or two after the competitive tier has concluded. Once the Sparked Up tier comes to an end, we will collect the results and distribute Spark rewards to all players who discovered one of the treasures above. Winners will receive an email notifying them that their rewards are available.
Now, get ready to hunt and participate in Spark Week!
