📚📝Diary of My Splinterlands Journey Week 56📝📚 (🎁🧧Giveaway inside🧧🎁) - Winterfest Promotion, Land 0.5, Battlepasses!

Hello to any of my readers and "Dear (weekly) Diary" 😜

The past week saw another End of Season upon us so that meant this week turned out to be pretty busy for my Splinterlands related gaming. There's the end of season climb to my desired ratings and league and also the grind up the leagues after the new season restarts again. On another note, this is actually going to be the 2nd last End of Season before the year ends! How time flies. 😁

On the Splinterlands dev side of the game, we've had Winterfest, Land 0.5 and Battlepasses! That's quite a bit of stuff going on. 🤑

But before I go into detail...

A brief introduction before I start though...

Good Day to all Splinterlands players! (and people of HIVE! 😜) I've made it a point to blog about my weekly progress and experiences in Splinterlands/HIVE in my "weekly diary". Splinterlands & HIVE are what I'd consider to be my entry point into the World of Crypto, and I intend to use this as a means to look back on the path I've taken in the years ahead.⏳⏳⏳

This is now the 56th consecutive week writing in my Diary (of sorts) detailing my Splinterlands Journey ever since I started this game. Of course, this also marks another weekly giveaway! 🎉🥳🎊

No week goes by in Splinterlands without some news event happening though. And here's my pick of some of the most interesting ones in my opinion. 📰📰📰

🗺️🧳✈️Updates on my Splinterlands Journey🗺️🧳✈️

---

This has been a busy week for me in Splinterlands all thanks to the end of season. As usual, both my main and alt accounts finished the season in the Gold League. This ensures the "better" Gold Chests for the next EOS.

Rewards wise, it was an improvement over the absolutely dismal previous EOS, although just barely. I think all the luck has been used up going into the end of the year. 🤣 I hope the turn of the year will recharge my luck bar fully again!

My quest for more Gold Foil Legendary cards from my rewards chests continues on ("Greed is Good!" 😈). It's a 0.008% chance, at base level, to pull a legendary gold foil, in case you were wondering 😉. Here's to more jackpot strikes in the future (i hope) 🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀.

---

I've managed to sell all 206 of my Nightmare packs for roughly 5.8+ HIVE on average. Having bought them all for about 5.3 HIVE, it has resulted in a decent 100+ HIVE profit. Not too bad considering I was also generating about 20 SPS per day whilst waiting for them to sell. 🤑

I've reinvested all the proceeds from those sales back into the same Nightmare packs again, this time getting 242 packs. So I've ended up with even more packs than before. Hopefully the turnover for this batch is faster than my previous one. 😉

🏆💰🎁Splinterlands News🏆💰🎁

First up, we've got the Winterfest End of Year Promotion going on at this very moment. It will run until 12th January. All Chaos Legion, Riftwatchers, and Tower Defense Nightmare pack purchases (even bonus packs count here) will reward you with an airdrop Promo card - Arkemis the Bear!

Don't miss out on this great deal to get a really exclusive card. 😱

Next up, we've got the long awaited launch of LAND? Well not quite the full thing but Land 0.5 at least 🤣. This allows all land owners to redeem their land tokens which reveals where exactly their lands are on the continent of Praetoria.

This is all there is now at the moment, but the team promises the full launch of Land 1.0 soon. I'm really happy for all the land token holders who've finally managed to some concrete movements on Land progression.

Finally, we've got some talk about BATTLEPASSES in Splinterlands! 😱 I'm ambivalent about this at the moment until firmer outlines for what it entails are released. It could be good or bad for the game. I do hope everything is considered carefully before it's implementation.

Weekly Chaos Legion Sales Tracker

---

And now, for an update on the number of Chaos Legion packs sold thus far. About 217k sold since last week. That is an amazing sales figure! 😄

(Well, actually, the burning of CL packs has also started and this will add into the figures. So that means CL packs are soon going to be in really short quantity. Best to get it while you still can!)

Here's the current count (as of the moment I'm writing this post) of the number of packs sold, and we're 566k away from the 12 million mark! Which also means everyone has a chance to get in now and grab more packs for the remaining airdrops! 😜

My fingers are crossed! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Hopefully I'll get some amazing luck for the next round! 🍀🍀🍀

_{Instead of continually going through my list of common reward cards I can afford to give away each week, I've decided to let YOU CHOOSE WHICH YOU PREFER! 😜
This is probably more helpful, especially for new players who join my giveaways, as they can then finetune their decks with what they need (if they're lucky enough to win 😉🍀).
