# Culture Points

## What are Culture Points?

Culture Points (CP) is a system tied to a player's personal account, and will directly affect a player's GIA earning capabilities. A player can have Culture Points ranging from 1 to 10.

* **Above 5 CP:** Good
* **5 CP and below:** Bad

When a player has a "Bad" CP rating, they will experience a lower GIA minting rate, thus affecting their earning capabilities. Players with a "Good" CP rating will enjoy regular minting rates.

## How to earn Culture Points?

Players can earn Culture Points in a number of ways, including:

* **Joining events with no spend:** 0.5 CP
* **Spending a designated amount of GIA:** 2 CP
* **Burning a designated amount of GIA:** 2 CP

Culture Points reset every 2 weeks, therefore it is important for players to stay active and continue earning CP to maintain a "Good" CP rating.
