PeakMonsters' New Auto-Rental Tool Changes, Everything

@peakmonsters introduced a new tool a couple of days ago: Bidding for rentals or Auto-Rentals but I think of it more as a 'Standing Offer' and I think, it's a great thing for Players, Cardlords and the game, in general.

One of the great things that it has done- is set a 'floor' for the price of a card. Any card, every card. The rent on that card should not be less than what the standing offer is through PeakMonsters.

Finding The Floor

On the PeakMonsters 'Rent' page, Right at the top and to the right- you'll see this button:

Once you click that button another window opens up:

CPbid_Listing.png

I've circled the 3 important areas on the window: Remaining, Min/Card, and Rate.
The Bid Rate let's you know the LOWEST rate at which any card should be listed, in Splinterlands. (100CP/DEC or 10 DEC/Day for a Legendary)
The Min/Card tells you the smallest CP value card that Bid will accept.
The Remaining column shows you how much CP is left to fill on that bid.

Now, here's the trick to getting your cards rented out by PeakMonsters:

The PeakMonsters algorithm prioritizes Newly listed (or just off rental) cards over searching the whole card catalogue for cards that match the criteria.
So, instead of 'Changing the price' you just have to 'Stop Renting' then re-list the cards.

Re-List Your Cards at the CP/DEC Offer rate, not the Going Rate

When people just change the price on their cards- it doesn't register as a 'new listing' so as an example I've got 10 L1 Axemasters that have fallen off their 'EOS' rental.
First, I pulled them off the Rental Market- completely:

Now, when I go to list them- I see that the LOW price for a L1 Axemaster is 1.7/day but that the 100 CP/DEC price is 2.
So, I list them at 2 DEC/day and Confirm.

Getting out of there and checking each thing- I see that the CP bids are still at 100 CP/day. I see that ALL my Axemasters got rented, at 2/day and I see that the 1.7 DEC/day Axemasters are still on the market.

Now, only list cards this way- a few at a time. I've tried to limit my 'drops' to about 20 cards at a time- too many and the algorithm misses them and they end up on the pile instead of auto-rented.

i don't think a newbie could get what you say though..
i'm not saying i could have explained it better, i'm just saying i think it is a bit confusing for a newbie

Thanks @funnel, I appreciate that.
I agree- this post was actually targeted more for 'Cardlords'- people who have and rent lots of cards than for newbies.
I do plan to experiment with the Single Card Bids some and post something for Newbies trying to get good, cheap cards from the rental market.
