### Queens, Bees, Eggs, Passes, and Lands

* Asset Marketplace - The [In-game Asset Marketplace](/honeyland-player-guides-docs/the-game/general-player-guides/shops-marketplaces-raffles-player-guide.md) allows you to purchase assets from other players using the HXD you hold in your game account. You need to have an Active Season Pass to use the Asset Marketplace.
* Magic Eden (ME) - You can shop the [Honeyland Verified Collections in Magic Eden](https://magiceden.io/marketplace/honeyland_generations_queens) to find Queens ready to lead a new colony and Bees ready to go out on missions as well as unhatched Eggs. Lands, Passes, Mad Honey Vials, and other assets are also available on Magic Eden. (see below for further information)

Use [HiveMind](/honeyland-player-guides-docs/the-game/general-player-guides/hivemind-website-player-guide.md) to view the stats, Landform Specialty, attack profiles, cosmetic traits, level, breeding history, and more of the Bees before purchasing.

{% hint style="info" %}
BE SURE TO REFRESH THE METADATA ON MAGIC EDEN AND/OR LOOK UP THE ASSET ON HIVEMIND BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE. SOMETIMES ITEMS APPEAR AS EGGS WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY HATCHED. SOMETIMES THE BREED COUNT SHOWN ON MAGIC EDEN IS WRONG.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Taxable and Tax-free Balance

* **Taxable balance** = Honey (HXD) earned playing Honeyland
* **Tax-free balance** = Honey (HXD) deposited into the game or purchased in the game

### Marketplace Sales

* **Asset Marketplace sales** = Honey (HXD) earned from selling assets to other players via the Marketplace is sent directly to your wallet and must be deposited into the game if you wish to use it there - it will added to your tax-free balance
* **Item Marketplace sales** = Honey (HXD) earned from selling items is sent directly to your in-game account - it will be added to your taxable balance

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE:** Marketplace purchases are paid using the player's tax-free balance first (if available), all other game play will use the taxable balance first.
{% endhint %}

To check your balances, visit the in-game Bank and click on withdraw.

### How are Marketplace prices calculated?

|                                 | <p><br><strong>No Season Pass</strong></p> | <p>P<strong>urchased a Season Pass this Month or</strong><br><strong>hold a Permanent NFT Pass</strong></p> |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Paying with Taxable Balance** | 40% Conversion Tax                         | Conversion tax is equal to the Player's withdrawal tax based on their VIP level                             |

Here's an example on how we calculate Marketplace prices, for the various VIP levels:

The price we show in the shop depends on your VIP level & taxable balance, but it's not a flat sell price increase. For this example, no HXD has been deposited and all HXD is earned in-game and therefore taxable. We use the same logic as withdrawals:

* If you're VIP 0, you have a 30% withdrawal tax. If you want to withdraw 150 HXD from the game, you would receive 150 \* 0.7 = 105 HXD in your wallet
* If you're VIP 5, you have a 20% withdrawal tax. If you want to withdraw 150 HXD from the game, you would receive 150 \* 0.8 = 120 HXD in your wallet

{% hint style="info" %}
*The higher your VIP level, the lower your withdrawal tax becomes. At VIP 10 there's a 10% withdrawal tax*
{% endhint %}

&#x20;Now the Marketplace

* If a seller lists an item for 150 HXD in the shop and a buyer has not purchased a Season Pass this month the buyer has 40% tax. The buyer would see \~252 HXD as price in the shop because 252 \* 0.6 = 150 + ME fees
* If a seller lists an item for 150 HXD in the shop and a buyer is VIP 0 with 30% withdrawal tax, the buyer would see \~216.2 HXD as price in the shop because 216.2 \* 0.7 = 150 + ME fees
* If a seller lists an item for 150 HXD in the shop and a buyer is VIP5 with 20% withdrawal tax, the buyer would see \~192 HXD as price in the shop, because 190 \* 0.8 = 150 + ME fees

{% hint style="info" %}
*If you deposit HXD into the game and want to use that in the marketplace, it's tax-free and you won't pay any taxes besides the ME Fees.*
{% endhint %}

**The withdrawal tax collected is allocated as follows:** 50% to the Honeyland treasury for game development, 25% recycled back into player rewards, and 25% burned.&#x20;

### Buying Queen Bees

**On Earth (Universe 1)** - You will have one active Queen. She leads your missions and can provide **significant** stat [boosts](/honeyland-player-guides-docs/the-game/universe-1-earth/player-guides/missions-boosts-on-earth-player-guide.md) especially when your Bees' mood matches her mood.&#x20;

**On Cocarro (Universe 2)** - If you choose to Siege and Explore you will need multiple Queens.

**What to consider when buying Queen Bees**

| <p><strong>NOTE:</strong> There are only 650 Genesis Queens - they cannot be created through game play<br>There is no limit to the number of Gen 1 Queens that can be created</p>                                                                                         |                                                     |                                                                                                                                            |                                                                                                                                 |                                                                                                               |
