Gauntlets are minted via the TEAR Marketplace, but cannot be resold via marketplace until they are fully minted.
Typically, a player can break even in TEAR on purchase via 50 pet catches (200 TEAR per pet assuming sold)
There will be a finite number of catchable pets but that number is not yet decided (at least 100,000+)
Once the catchable pets limit has reached, the gauntlet will receive a new form of utility and the only way to acquire pets will be through other players.
