Idle Gameplay

There are two idle gameplay mechanics in the game. The first one is market agents. Market agents earn passive income through the trading volumes in cities.

Passive Income Through Market Agents

When the user assigns a market agent to a city, the market agent will start earning WISL. To earn more income through the market agent, the user can increase the trading power attribute. Passive income is calculated with the algorithm below:

  1. Find the total trade volume in the city for the last 4 hours. Let's say TVC to this value.

  2. Find the total trading volume in the game for the last 4 hours. Call this TV

  3. Find the total trading power (the sum of all agents' trade power) in the city. This is TTP

  4. Your agent trade power is ATP

  5. The hourly passive income = 1250 * TVC/TV * ATP/TTP

So more trading power means more passive income for the agent. In conclusion; the agent who has the highest trade power ratio in the city where the highest volume ratio will take the maximum hourly passive income.

Passive Income Through Auto-Trading

A user can enable auto-trading mode anytime. When the auto-trading mode is enabled, the player can not control the ship. The player can control the market agents and optimize the income from the auto-trading mode or check other cities' market prices. So the player can disable the auto-trading mode if there is a good trading opportunity.

To maximize the auto-trading income, the player needs to pay attention to the instant events for the next 8 hours. Each instant event pool is approximately 208 WISL. This means, that 208 WISL will be distributed to the players who take passive income through auto-trading. To increase the passive income through the auto-trading the player can follow the steps below:

  1. Find the instant events that will happen in the 8 hours by using your abilities

  2. Check how many agents are in the cities

  3. Check ships' attributes and agents' attributes are optimized for the abilities the player found. Follow the algorithm in https://docs.whaleislands.com/game-mechanics/ships#idle-gameplay-auto-trading-mode
