Chubbs Splinterlands guide / 3 Chaos legion Pack Airdrops
Given my Hashkings guide did well I thought I would keep the game guide thing going with Splinterlands. Quite frequently I find myself finishing in Diamond League tier 3, so while I wouldn't consider myself a pro I do have quite a bit of experience playing Splinterlands.
In todays write up ill go over the Splinterlands basics some of my game play tactics, also why you should & I do complete every daily challenge.
Intro
Playing Splinterlands over a year now I can say the $10 I paid for a spell book required to transfer assets is the best $10 I ever spent.
This little spell book purchase realistically can be the only expenditure necessary. However your odds & profit increase with the assets owned so there is a reason to pay for more Splinterlands assets.
You have two Major blockchains with Splinterlands NFT markets HIVE & WAX.
Given that Splinterlands has been number the one blockchain game by daily number of users for months now on Dapp-radar. I apparently am not the only one that feels this game is worth playing every day.
https://dappradar.com/rankings/category/games
You can earn NFTs & packs by playing your daily challenge or via seasonal rewards. Both options after the Spell Book $10 purchase can be free, However paying for rentals is recommended.
You may rent Cards in game or on peakmonsters.
https://peakmonsters.com/rentals
Ill get back to rentals a little later for now simply understand that play to earn games Splinterlands included reward users for having more invested.
That being said one of my first legendary gold NFTs came from a single reward chest from a Bronze daily challenge.
Seasonal & daily rewards increase in number as your rank increases. Since your account power comes from the NFT cards in your account & is required to advance through the leagues a good colection goes far.
So even though I rent many cards to get enough account power its more then worth it. Given I play daily & the reward chests at my rank tend to pay for the rentals.
For instance I was able to get all of this from last season rewards at Diamond rank 3 40 reward chests.
While not great I did get a pack & 3 other packs from the daily challenge through that season. That alone pays for the rentals roughly $12 total, which allows me to pocket the overhead.
Packs
Packs are a great part of Splinterlands as unlike most NFT packs the Odds are not fixed you can alter them yourself.
Using 5 of each type of potion shown below modifies the odds when opening 1 pack.
I utilize 5 of each type of potion on every pack I open without exception.
Considering to date I'm up to 14 legendary gold cards total, you may just want to give the the benefit of the doubt potions matter.
Buying Chaos Legion packs in game costs $4 a piece bulk purchases have a discount. Buying in the in game market qualifies your account for a chance of receiving the next Chaos legion card added to packs via airdrop.
You see once 1,000,000 Chaos legion packs are sold any account that purchased 1 chaos legion pack a a small chance of receiving the new card added.
These added cards from that point onward can potentially be found in Chaos Legion packs. Even packs sold before the new card is added can contain a new card.
This is part of the reason I can say for sure potions matter, because the contents of a Splinterlands packs are determined when you open them.
A pack design such as this is quite rare in the NFT re-sale business I have only encountered it once in over a year of doing this.
Though yes you can & I do open packs at a loss this can change as time goes on. Renting assets or even holding on to them is advised as with enough time value tends to increase.
As at the moment there is a oversaturation of certain cards due to the packs being available. This means opening packs with the intention to immediately sell isn't always going to be profitable.
While not immediately that profitable as the NFTs have a blend burn use case they have a price likely to increase as supplies dwindle.
https://tribaldex.com/tokens
As for many the incentive to buy packs for rewards can be profitable we can find the same packs on secondary markets at a real discount. While no you dont get Airdropped cards for purchasing & no bulk discount, $1 off a pack has its own rewards.
For instance I buy from HIVE markets & supply WAX markets at a profit.
Weather your buying packs to open, sell, or just HODL there is no denying they are a very important part of this game.
Markets
The NFT resale with Splinterlands can get deceptively complex fairly straight forward when selling in game. However Card Packs & land plots have to be sold on secondary markets.
HIVE gets even more complex as the Cards themselves have their own secondary markets & the packs Totems & land plots are treated as crypto.
https://tribaldex.com/
Some secondary HIVE based card markets include
https://monstermarket.io/
https://peakmonsters.com/
https://www.cardauctionz.com/
Card auctions even gives cash back options when buying cards.
When talking WAX markets all available NFTs are treated as NFTs as WAX does not support Splinterlands crypto.
So on WAX markets Cards Packs & land plots are all on the same markets.
A WAX market with a incentive to both buy & sell is Nefty Blocks.
https://neftyblocks.com/
With NEFTY mining cash back & staking options Nefty Blocks is my preferred WAX market.
https://wax.atomichub.io/market
These are 2 other WAX NFT markets without trade incentives.
https://nfthive.io/
When you have the Spell Book purchased & your WAX wallet paired to the game. Use the tools page on Atomic Hub to transfer assets from WAX to the game.
https://splinterlands.atomichub.io/tools/overview/splinterlands
You may need to know this as like in todays post I airdrop quite a few Splinterlands NFTs via WAX airdrop URLs. If your one of the lucky readers you might want to know.
While Splinterlands NFTs may only be found on HIVE & WAX their strictly crypto crypto meaning the crypto that cant be considered an NFT like DEC / SPS can be found on a few blockchains.
Like BSC, ETH, TRX, & STEEM are all examples of blockchains that support either SPS or DEC in addition to HIVE of course.
Utilizing the popularity of Splinterlands your advantage you can be highly profitable, not only in the standard supply & demand context, but liquidity pools & renting as well.
To keep things simple Splinterlands markets are varied & come in many forms on several blockchains.
SPT
Splinter Talk Token is the HIVE alt awarded for blogging on or curating others content on Splintertalk.
https://www.splintertalk.io/
Share your battle challenge is something I recommend new players do every week its a consistent source of SPT.
What can SPT do for you? That question has many answers but for starters SPT qualifies for the SPS airdrop which ill get to latter in the write up.
https://www.splintertalk.io/nfts/
SPT also is used in their special SPT NFT store, There are a few SPT Diesel pools with rewards, & there are a few curation services for SPT on HIVE.
Earning Mechanisms
I have touched on some of these already, but I will elaborate on some of the Splinterlands earning options. You have 3 forms of crypto earned by players one way or another in Splinterlands & on Splintertalk.
DEC earned in ranked matches, or by renting / selling in game.
SPS earned for now via Splinterlands asset ownership & the SPS airdrop.
SPT earned on Splintertalk for posting about Splinterlands or interacting with others posts.
Now DEC is awarded for ranked matches but the amount awarded changes based on a number of factors. DEC rewards are based on a shared liquidity pool which refills at the beginning of each season. When the DEC liquidity pools are full you earn the most per win. Some other factors include your current league, your assets total burn value, recent win/loss ratio, & what cards you play.
SPS is currently earned via airdrop & the airdrop points you have determines daily payout.
https://sps.splinterlands.com/airdrop
You can also get double airdrop points on HIVE DEC liquidity pools.
However liquidity pools are not simplistic & require prior knowledge of there inherent risks.
Assets in any of the above wallets that have been linked to your game account qualify for the SPS airdrop.
SPT I went over in the section before this simply interacting with the Splintertalk platform on HIVE can earn users SPT.
https://www.splintertalk.io/
Now the earnings mechanisms dont stop here but given I have much more to go over I'm going to cap this section here.
Game play tips
Above is a card with many of its parts identified for reference, it is a Monster card there are two main types you will encounter Monsters & the Summoners of said Monsters.
6 element types exist in game
Dragon summoners get 1 additional element (Splinter) to summon from & neutral is used by every element (Splinter).
The three main attack types are Mele, Ranged, & Magic details shown above.
Speed, armor, & health also play a very important role.
I cant tell you how happy I am they added all the abilities to their tutorial Abilities make or break high rank matches.
Blast, Double strike, & Blood Lust are among my favorite offensive abilities.
Commit the abilities to memory, many can be used as match modifying rules, or in the case of immunity / flying meant to combat a match rule sets.
Both summoners & monsters can have abilities.
There are many abilities I have memorized them all.
Occasionally daily challenges require you utilize specified abilities.
Combo abilities for super effective play styles such as thorns + triage.
Positioning is very important as certain attack types have limitations. Mele for instance without modifiers only attacks from first position.
Ranged attacks without modifiers can not attack from fist position.
Magic has no limitations but abilities are made to nerf it.
Knowing what every ability rule & stat means will inevitably help you play better.
League tiers are progressed through by having enough account power & performing well enough in ranked matches that season.
The Higher your league you finish in each season the more reward chests you get. Not only that but the higher the odds of receiving Chaos Legion packs.
Your Daily Challenge reward chests also increase as your league increases. Also the Daily challenge reward chests have increased pack drop rates.
Renting the cards necessary to have enough account power is a common practice I rent cards to get to Diamond 3 all the cards above & below are rented.
All of these rentals are a good guide for choosing your own rented cards.
You can see other then a few must haves I rent Common & Rare cards that are leveled up. This is due to them being useful & cheaper.
What League your in combined with the level of your used summoner determines what level monster you can summon.
Keep the fact cards have a blend use case in mind weather you play or just intend on selling as the utility of a card isn't solely determined by its base stats.
As you level a card up by blending the same card together it decreases the supply & increases the assets utility value.
Knowing how useful abilities & cards are will help you determine potential future value.
Knowing that High level summoners are required to play higher leagues you can actively use this info to either help yourself play better or make a killing on rentals.
Not every legendary card is made equal in fact there are legendary cards less valuable then rare cards when fully leveled up.
Knowing how useful the card is when used comes down to understanding the games mechanics as a whole. Though the last 2 cards shown above ☝️ are great given the matches have Mana caps & it takes 11 Mana to summon either they are not always the best choice
Take this match for instance with a mana cap of 21 using a card requiring 5 Mana as a summoner giving me 16 mana for monsters using this 👇 card would be foolish.
Normally a great choice when in perfect conditions you need cards for any condition.
This is why I rent many cheap cards at higher levels with low mana this match rule set for instance prohibits using cards over 4 mana.
Not how I on the top have many of the same cards as the opponent mine are just leveled up.
Most of the players rent the biggest cards possible its better to rent the right card in comparison to the biggest card as they are just used more frequently.
I won both matches shown above just knowing the rulesets in each match is incredibly useful.
One of the best parts to Splinterlands is the unpredictable nature, there is no set answer that always works.
That's why in my game guide ill give you an idea of how to improve your own playing style. Because there is no right or wrong answer just informed & uninformed players.
I kid you not I have memorized every rule set, every ability, & every card in my build (deck). The more you know the further you go both as a NFT vendor & a player.
Playing every day for over a year the daily challenge is always worth it.
Chaos Legion MVP
MVP in this case meaning Most Valuable Purchase cards that are currently selling cheaper then they should be. I cant predict the future however I kick myself for not stocking up when I had the chance with DICE pack & UNTAMED pack monsters.
In that mindset these cards from the Chaos legion I feel have utility value higher then average.
Avoiding Legendary cards & Dragon Splinter as they are all legendary The cards above are 2 cards per splinter Chaos legion Cards I want to stock up on.
Of course you can never have enough summoners, its a buyers market at the moment but this wont last forever.
Guild Perks
If your a serious player you should look into joining a guild, I am a member of the Canna Curate Guild.
Though we may not be the best we always fill the bracket for guild brawls & try our best.
Our Guild Haul is level 6 & our Guild Store is level 3. This allows our members to purchase Gladius cases.
Gladius Cases are guild only packs containing guild brawl only cards Gladiators.
Though I cant transfer or sell Gladiators outright however they do have value a burn value that adds to my DEC earned per match & SPS earned daily.
I can also just burn them for the DEC
Our quest lodge is level 6 giving our members a 4% discount in the game store as well as a bonus of 7% for DEC generation.
Our Barracks is level 2 allowing us to utilize gladiators, as the game continues to develop Guild brawls are expected to become monetized.
So now is the best time to join or start a guild & get it ready for the future of Splinterlands.
Tournaments
As if we need more ways to make money in this play to earn Splinterlands also offers tournaments.
Each with its own ruleset, rewards, & creators.
You in most cases have to buy in to a tournament, I have tried a couple they are really not my cup of tea as they can be time consuming but professional players I'm sure are all over the tournaments.
You can even create your own & promote a group or event in doing so.
Top of the Market?
While not the most expensive NFT ever sold, Splinterlands do hold that title on 2 blockchains WAX & HIVE.
WAX has Splinterlands Land Region Claims as there top NFT sales ever 1st & 2nd place 2.4M WAX / $695K USD.
While no where near $600,000 on HIVE I'm fairly certain with a price tag of 48,000 HIVE the Land Region qualifies as HIVEs top NFT sale as well.
Hell I have sold over $10,000 USD worth on WAX alone nearing the $20,000 mark between WAX & HIVE. Not all was profit mind you but quite a bit is clearing well above $8,000 in profit in 1 year.
While right now its not exactly a sellers market there are ways to turn a profit on Splinterlands.
When you consider I started off just playing my daily challenge this sale gave me funding to play with, leading to all my NFTs & play to earn portfolio.
The $10 Spell book is the best purchase I have ever made, be patient & play every day is the best advice I can give.

Trying something new
My usual format is truly putting far to many play to earn games in one post attempting to keep everyone up to date.
Recently I have been doing deep dives into individual play to earn games, Hash Kings was number 1 & Splinterlands was my second attempt with this new format.
https://ecency.com/hive-102223/@chubb149/chubbs-hashkings-guide-wax-nft
So if this Splinterlands guide is something you want to see more of please let me know by re-blogging upvoting & sharing this post.
My apologies for the recent delay these guides tend to take more time then the other format & I have had some issues at home taking up my free time.
Got any questions, feedback, or suggestions for future deep dives let me know via the comments I like to hear from you.
If this does well perhaps I do a future post going into the rich lore of Splinterlands a (Blockchain Game Theory) If I'm not mistaken the first ever.
Important uniswap DEC liquidity pool info
https://ecency.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/ending-dec-reward-payouts-for-uniswap-lps
The people doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved deeply with her group and @fyrstikken . Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant prove she is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing it. I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome.
They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years.
What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth? https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism

Second airdrop

great write up. I might buy a pack on hive and sell for wax as an experiment. I'm running out of wax and zombie was a loss for me. cant sell anything lol. I'm also getting sick of the wax games because I'm suddenly running out of cpu which never happened to me before.
Also, I've been buying and selling zombie on nefty but never earned even a micro dose of nefty. I thought I'd get a little for using the site.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Before no Nefty Required Staking but the recent update a week ago now any interaction with Nefty Blocks should earn NEFTY.
Now Staking NEFTY earns WAX ,all trades qualify for NEFTY generation, & Liquidity providers earn NEFTY as well.
Bonus points the Nefty Blocks market takes no WAX CPU or RAM the NFT colection being bought or sold pays for resources. Also Blockchain RPG was recently updated but your right the CPU rules being changed is some B.S
Oh cool. Btw, I saw that zombie is starting their wax buyback event on March 30th. I need a strategy for that but I am thinking that I might exchange all my tokens for wax and start again.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am excited for the update that follows the buy back they will streamline the mining & introduce pets, from the sparse details they let slip they are going to be changing or getting rid of the ticket system & change it so many of the game missions or tickets run on ZBF instead of WAX. I suspect the buyback may be an attempt at thinning out the surplus so just in case I'm going to keep a little of each & all my ZBF for sure.
You may want some of these packs currently on sale in game on the exchange in Zombie coin Miner check their discord these packs are going to get really valuable.
I don't have 40 zbc. I only have 10. I'll check it out though. Thanks for the heads up
NP
I don't like rpg. I was 1 shell away from blending and then they added the other ingredient requirement lol. I don't even know how to get that but I mine a couple of times a day for gold
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They introduced a new chest system in their market & cut the number of daily free healings you receive & significantly tweaked the games drop mechanics for missions now much they are much less likely to drop gold. GOLD now like DEC in Splinterlands is linked to a liquidity pool missions award you proportional to the amount of people playing.
Seeing how players respond to & exploit their systems is how they slowly fine tune their game mechanics. Admittingly the crafting & resource markets are a nightmare right now because they are bare bones.
gosh, I missed all of that but haven't been in their discord. I've been getting gold but keep running out of wax cpu. running out of cpu is unusual for me so I just quit playing for the day. I'm looking to make more wax not stake more lol.
I'll keep my eye on it. I'm starting to receive more shells though. I really needed those at the beginning and couldn't get them lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Try this I use Cait CPU rental when I get stonewalled by the CPU usage & want to keep playing that day spending 5 WAX gives you 100 WAX worth of CPU for 24 hours. Given I dont play every game all the time its helpful to have the rental option when I want or need to play more.
https://caittoken.io/account/cpu/
This CPU stuff keeps up ill have to start airdropping system resources for WAX lol.
Just my luck I missed Peakmonsters launching their own token

I think the best part of your post is about reaveled and judgement of chaos legion pack which is under rated with price and also below average. I am also just trying to gather as much as my assets to purchase those cards before it gone for higher price. It may be good investment to buy and hold all these cards and wait for the right moment to watch it with a good value price.
Most definitely given Splinterlands popularity & their plans for SPS will set the market on fire as they are introduced, stocking up on Chaos legion assets will likely be a smart move.
I made so much $$$ as they got rid of Dice packs & untamed packs even on cards that for months where more or less worthless. It will take a longer time to appreciate due to the number of chaos legion packs being much greater, but the cards still have a blend use case. So with time stock should dissipate keeping a portfolio full of cards with high utility value is a wise approach.
