# Benefits

There are several benefits to owning a Weapons NFT opposed to crafting them which have been covered in detail on the [**NFT Integration**](https://defverse.gitbook.io/defverse-nft/sg/everything-nft) page, but briefly include:

* **NO EXPIRY**\
  Unlike the crafted variants of these weapons, Weapons NFTs NEVER expire.<br>
* **BETTER STATS**\
  Higher stats can be achieved using NFTs as both their minimum and maximum stats have been raised by 20% compared to those that can be crafted.  Stats are completely random but the min/max bounds have been increased by 20%.<br>
* **NO LIMIT TRADING**\
  Crafted items can only be traded ONCE.  Once they're traded, they cannot be relisted, even if they are unused by the buyer.<br>
* **USABLE IN F2P and PFR**\
  Unlike crafted items, all NFTs are usable in both FREE TO PLAY, and PLAY FOR REWARDS game modes.
