# Blending & Crafting

## BLENDING

Blending is Bitminer upgrade system that allows players to combine two NFTs of the same type and rarity into one of higher rarity. It’s a core part of progression helping you move from early-game units to more powerful Miners and Nodes capable of longer mining sessions and higher hash output.


### How Blending Works

* You must blend 2 NFTs of the same type and rarity.
* The result is 1 NFT of the next higher rarity, of the same type.

| Recipe                                  | result                              |
| --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| x2 8 BIT Miners/Farms/Nodes/Validators  | x1 16 BIT Miner/Farm/Node/Validator |
| x2 16 BIT Miners/Farms/Nodes/Validators | x1 32 BIT Miner/Farm/Node/Validator |
| x2 32 BIT Miners/Farms/Nodes/Validators | x1 64 BIT Miner/Farm/Node/Validator |
| x2 64 BIT Miners                        | x1 128 BIT Miner                    |
| x2 128 BIT Miners                       | x1 256 BIT Miner                    |

### Why Blend?

* Boost hash power
* Prepare for higher-tier crafting

* Increases overall mining efficiency
* Progress from beginner to advanced gameplay efficiency

## CRAFTING

Crafting in Bitoshi is how players convert existing NFTs into more powerful and efficient mining units. It allows you to scale your mining setup by combining multiple NFTs with a special resource item — a Blueprint or a Script — depending on what you're crafting.

**Crafting Farms** - Farms are advanced mining facilities that extend mining time and amplify hash power for your chosen token type.

### 🔧 How to Craft a Farm-

1. 5 Miners of the same type and rarity
2. 1 Blueprint NFT (matching the same type and rarity)


### Result:&#x20;

1. 1 Farm NFT (same type and rarity)
2. +40% total hash power (based on the 5 Miners used)
3. Reduction in consumption -&#x20;

* 8 BIT Farm: 70%
* 16 BIT Farm: 67%
* 32 BIT Farm: 63%
* 64 BIT Farm: 60%

{% hint style="info" %}
*Blueprints are obtained from limited-time Blueprint Packs and cannot be earned through*
{% endhint %}

#### Crafting Validators - Validators are the Node-tier equivalent of Farms, providing stronger hash and longer mining sessions for multi-token mining.

#### 🔧 How to Craft a Validator -&#x20;

1. 5 Nodes of the same type and rarity
2. 1 Script NFT (matching the same type and rarity)

#### Result:

1. 1 Validator NFT (same type and rarity)
2. +50% total hash power (based on the 5 Nodes used)
3. Reduction in consumption:

* 8 BIT Validator: 50%
* 16 BIT Validator: 47%
* 32 BIT Validator: 44%
* 64 BIT Validator: 40%

{% hint style="info" %}
*Scripts are obtained from limited-time Script Packs and cannot be mined directly.*
{% endhint %}
