Hive Goals Counting Down T-2 Weeks
This is a short sum-up table with the state of my goals in easier TLDR form. The table has only some information, so if you want details, they can be found in the post.
Current State/Other Selection Criterion | Goals Matching the Criterion |
---|---|
Completed | 5 (Staked SPS, Replies Received, Comments Made - initial goal -, Staked LEO, HIVE Power) |
Missed | 1 (Comments Made, increased goal) |
Ongoing | 1 (Maxing CL Set) |
Stopped | 1 (HBD) |
Initial Goals | 2 (HIVE Power & HBD) |
Stretch Goals | 1 (Maxing CL Set) |
Increased | 1 (Comments Made) |
Lowered | 0 |
With two more weeks until the end of the year, and most of my goals completed, my only focus remains to max out the Chaos Legion edition (and the associated reward cards). This remains a tough goal even after I started powering down 12k SPS to help out with it.
My optimistic estimate was that I'll need one 3k SPS power down then stop it. The cautious estimate was that I'll need two weeks before I can stop the unstaking process. Looks like this is the scenario I'll be in, the cautious one, because 3k SPS wasn't enough, especially after the recent dip in the crypto markets.
At today's card prices, and without counting in any other cards from opening packs or rewards, I'd still need about 200k DEC (down from 370k last week) to complete this goal. I bought more than 170k DEC worth of cards this week (at least 180k during the last 2 days), so the rest comes from the fluctuations in the market.
Let's see what changed since last week.
HIVE Power (HP) Goal - Completed
My main goal of reaching 25k HP this year is COMPLETED.
This week my HP grew by 32 organically, even though I keep most of the HIVE I received liquid.
This week HIVE dove with the market to below 29 cents, but I haven't bought any. Maybe this was a missed opportunity (remains to be seen), but I want to start buying again next year, not now.
HBD Goal - Stopped
I stopped this goal during the year in favor of HIVE Power. Initially, the goal was to reach 5000 HBD in savings by the year-end, starting from almost nothing.
LEO Staked - Completed
My staked LEO goal is COMPLETED!
I staked 492 LEO on LPUD, which brought my total to a round number: 10500 LEO. That was the last LPUD in 2022 and it came with a matching delegation from the Leofinance team.
When I don't save for LPUD I use LEO to (re)build a stash of stables that will help with my Hive Goals next year, besides being a buffer for whatever else I'll need in the crypto land.
Splintershards (SPS) Staked Goal - Completed
The SPS staking goal is COMPLETED!
However, the SPS rewards from ranked battles, daily focus and season chests come in a staked form and will keep increasing the stake. Same as the land and TD (nightmare packs) rewards.
Another 1016 staked SPS were added last week this way (less because I had my playing deck rented out at the end of the season). Because of the unstaking process that I started last week the actual staked SPS dropped compared to last week by 1984 (3k minus what I staked during this week).
Besides what comes staked from the gameplay, the SPS goes to the diesel pools.
My 12k SPS power down continues this week as well, to help with my other Splinterlands goal. Most likely this will be the last week, then I'll stop it.
Maxing Chaos Legion Set*
*) or reaching the limit beyond which I consider upgrading a card not profitable
This week I maxed out Possibilus the Wise and I consider maxed out Forgotten One (still needs a few BCX).
Grund and Spirit Hoarder also have enough BCX to combine to max level, once they return from the rental market.
Carrion Shade reached the limit I decided for it: level 7 (150 BCX).
I also continued to buy some of the missing BCX for the cards that I considered maxed out in the past and which need some boost to be maxed out in time before the end of the year. I will continue doing that until the goal is completed.
I'm still opening packs as I earn more alchemy and legendary potions.

Social Targets
The initial (10k) goal for comments made was Completed
.
Increased target: 10k->12k comments by the year-end.
The increased goal for comments made is considered MISSED
.
The 10K target for replies is COMPLETED and I won't increase it.
The comment made goal will resume next year with a refreshed target.

Great work towards your goals!
Thanks, Steve! Maxing CL cards is giving me a hard time until the last week, apparently.

Congrats. It must be a hard decision to be powering down and selling the excess SPS after the price has collapsed!
It is! But I think I found a different solution for next week and I'll probably stop the SPS power down before another tranche is unstaked. Still, unfortunately, it will mean selling SPS at these low prices.
No wonder SPS price is down. @gadrian is selling 😂
Lol! I'm a tiny fish in the sea of SPS.

Wao you can almost achieve your all this year goals. Its very tough decision to sale sps in this price. You can earn 25 k hp this year thats very great. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, achieving most of my goals this year (if I achieve the last one) is something I'm pretty proud of. And grateful that Hive provided the means for that, for a big part.
Looking forward to your next year’s target 😉
That'll be at the beginning of 2023. :)
Congratulations! Looks like you did really well in reaching your goals during what has really been a very difficult year for most!

Thanks! The bear market is notorious for being great for building. That includes our portfolios.
I'm always amazed at your consistency! To accomplish such goals in one year, that's commendable!
!PIZZA
Thank you! I'm grateful I was able to do this well this year on Hive on my goals. Yes, consistency was a great factor in this, compounding started to play a role, and also, let's not forget about the bear market, which helped too.
Yes, it all came together very nicely! And many are crying for a bear market... !LOLZ

Bear markets are the best thing that can happen to crypto, with all the pain they bring. It is the opportunity to build and also, all the regulations we need: that's when businesses not built on solid ground are in deep trouble and eventually go under.

Thanks. Yep, I'm close, I'd really feel bad if I wouldn't accomplish my last goal by the end of the year.

Must be on an alt account, I don’t see you have many cards in your collection
Yes, I rarely played Splinterlands on this account, I have another main playing account, plus a number of accounts I use for rentals. The cards you see on gadrian are the ones that are still rented out and haven't moved to the rental accounts yet. Only about a dozen of them left. Plus about a dozen I have delegated to another account I have in bronze that I'm VERY slowly growing.
Seem like a lot of effort for not much gain, best to keep all your activity on one account, don’t you think?
Not really. It's best to be able to easily segregate cards based on their purposes. If it's one account, it's very hard to do that effectively.
Nice progress on your goals. I have pretty much hit most of my monthly goals before the end of the year (I reached 5k HP earlier today). Your chaos legion goal seems fairly close so I think you will definitely get it.

Congrats on hitting your monthly goals already!
Without another push with SPS, I don't think I'd make it to be honest. This was a much more difficult goal than I initially anticipated. True, I haven't attempted something like this in the past, so I had no experience with it.

Thanks for coming over, Bradley.
Good job on your achievements!
Thanks.
Throwing that HBD in savings has been tough lately with Hive at such an attractive price! I've been moving most of my HBD into Hive and just letting the savings accrue on its own. Eventually I will get back to adding more to my savings. Congrats on achieving your goals!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yep, that's why I gave up pursuing both HIVE and HBD goals. Since it's a bear market, I picked HIVE.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I am actually going to write a post tomorrow I think talking about some of my thinking lately and why I am trying to focus more on Hive.
