Another Week Ends, One Less For Our Yearly Targets (Week 21, Year 2022)

almost 2 years ago

This was the last full week of May and it was full of releases for Splinterlands.

I hope those who wanted a license for a node validator during the presale had quick fingers because they ran out in 10 minutes. :) Of course, phase 1 started immediately afterward. I didn't want one (nothing wrong with having one, just not a priority for me), but was pleasantly surprised by the interest people showed in them.

Next week will start the new season which will include the new ranked rewards system, with all the changes that will likely affect the way we play the game, and not only (market prices and rentals should also be affected). I'm eager to it at work.

But since today I'm going through my progress with the Hive goals, let's go on to that part.

HIVE Power and HBD Goals

This week I added around 150 USD worth of liquidity to the pHBD-USDC pool on PolyCub, which I'll keep building up with rewards on PolyCub. While I don't consider it directly to my HBD goal if needed at the end of the year I'll move it to Hive and on savings to help me reach this goal.

I guess two other smaller milestones would be that I reached 30% of my HBD target this year (that's 10% less than where I should be at this time) and over 1600 HBD in savings.

I also powered up 100 more HIVE this week. The lower price of HIVE should've slowly increased the rewards earned in HIVE. Or maybe I just had a better week rewards-wise on posts from the week before which came to payout this week, without any relation to the price of HIVE. I haven't checked to see what happened.

Looks like next week I'll be over 16000 HP. Slow and steady progress for these targets, but the kind that shows results on the long term.

Splintershards (SPS) Staked Goal

I staked 1500 more SPS this week and slowly progressing toward the 100k objective. That's 500 SPS more this week than last week, which is good for this goal.

Still looking for a good opportunity to max Tarsa cheaper.

Common Monsters	Maxed	Reached Max Desired Level
29	1	? (12 under consideration)

I only maxed one common card this week, the Fire's Lava Spider. I like the poison that comes at the last level and it was one of the cheaper options to max.

I also added a couple more cards to a few common and rare cards I have, but they are not maxed and I won't name them here yet. The price and/or my immediate plans fit well for those cards.

I kept the rest of the funds, either to be able to buy something more expensive next week or wait for better prices for cheaper cards that I need in bulk (common or rare).

I'm not very in a hurry to max the remaining cards quickly, in two months the airdrop will be over and I'll probably open most if not all the packs I have.

Rare Monsters	Maxed	Reached Max Desired Level

Social Targets

I started the week with 7951 comments and 8196 replies.

And now I am at 8062 comments (passed the 8k limit this week!) and 8330 replies. They are both above my targets of 81 comments and 76 replies weekly to reach 10k of each by the year's end, which is good!

Special Mentions

Today I also hit a very round number on Listnerds, which is awesome: 10000 staked LISTNERDS. And that, even though I haven't officially included Listnerds in my weekly posts about my Hive targets for 2022.

Between 5k and 10k LN, I unstaked 200 LN every thousand LISTNERDS added (20%). But I see other people are starting to catch up (good for them!), so I decided to reduce it back to 10% (100 every thousand). Taking profit is a good practice, right?
